The press is mocking RFK Jr. and President Trump for linking Tylenol to autism. But universities like Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Mount Sinai — none of them aligned with Trump or RFK — have published research showing the risks. Science shouldn’t be political. Short thread:🧵
Harvard recently released one of the most comprehensive reviews yet, analyzing 46 studies that included data from more than 100,000 children. They found consistent evidence that prenatal acetaminophen exposure is associated with a higher risk of autism and ADHD. The authors
Researchers at Mount Sinai reached a similar conclusion. In August 2025, they published a study using the rigorous Navigation Guide methodology to evaluate the existing literature. They found that prenatal exposure to acetaminophen may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental
Researchers at Johns Hopkins, working with the Boston Birth Cohort, found striking results. In a study of 996 mother–infant pairs, cord plasma biomarkers of fetal exposure to acetaminophen were linked to a significantly increased risk of both ADHD and autism. The authors wrote:
The mainstream media is already doing Big Pharma’s bidding, dismissing this story as “debunked.” The reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Most of the studies coming out now show a clear pattern — Tylenol use during pregnancy is correlated with higher autism risk. That
@EndTribalism The backlash over this is terrible! The media didn’t have a problem covering the Dems over tobacco for their own gain! Science should not be politicized when it’s fact! Many studies have been done from what I’ve read and have proven this very thing.
@EndTribalism In the research, is it specifically calling out acetaminophen? Or are there similar links with Ibuprofen
@EndTribalism This study has many limitations and has been criticised 👇 🔹 Key Limitations 💥Study design: Most included studies were observational, not randomized controlled trials → cannot prove causality. 💥Association vs. causation: Findings show correlation, but do not establish that
@EndTribalism You know what bothers me? When people confuse politics with science. Science is supposed to be about asking questions, testing them, and following the evidence wherever it leads. But the press has this funny habit: if someone they don’t like says something, even if it’s backed by
@EndTribalism Thank you for this I'm guessing it's gotta be hard to identify the symptoms, but was there anything in these studies that showed what the mothers had been suffering from when they took the Tylenol?
@EndTribalism I'm not sure this is the full answer, but it's probably a good idea for pregnant women to stop taking acetaminophen. Acetaminophen and its metabolites are known to cross the placental barrier, reaching the fetus. This raises risks of impacting fetal liver and brain development
@EndTribalism I love that democrats are mocking the announcement. Guess they aren't for "following the science" after all. https://ehjournal.biomedcentra...
@EndTribalism So many people do not know and thus cannot understand what happened and what was revealed during Covid about how medical departments within government and even organizations like the AAP and others were captured by the political. Decisions/recommendations were made that relied on
@EndTribalism These studies are littered with cofounders and unwarranted jumps to conclusions. They did not control prior pathology. I larger 2024 study showed no risk + numerous others. It’s concerning the lack of critical thinking in the trump campaign
@EndTribalism Sure was political when they were pushing the COVID vaccine. 💉
@EndTribalism Sweden did the most comprehensive study from 1995-2021 and found no increased risk. They tested millions of children with extensive follow ups. I agree with what someone else said in the comments linking it to GHS suppression.
@EndTribalism Having a study that shows a small percentage of correlation is not the same thing as a study that shows a significant risk of harm.
@EndTribalism what's the usual time frame from the press mocking what someone on the right says until it's proven true?
@EndTribalism As a pharmacist who didn't take any acetaminophen containing products, or anything, during my pregnancies, this doesn't explain why one of my five kids has autism. APAP use before/after vaccines might be the true culprit. I would entertain that idea.
@EndTribalism Science isn't political, scientists are.
@EndTribalism I’ll take Medical Advice from Heroin Addicts for $400, Alex.
@EndTribalism The associations are incredibly weak and fall apart when you adjust for genetics
@EndTribalism The main issue is that it is very difficult to discern whether the cause is the acetaminophen itself or the condition for which the acetaminophen was taken.
@EndTribalism People assume "the press" reflects a group of intelligent people. They're not. This clown corps took "journalism" classes at second-rate colleges. They are unread, unlettered, and profoundly uninterested in any issues beyond those handed to them by their corrupt editors. They
@EndTribalism No they haven't published research on it, they have unpublished research reports, studies that were looking at something totally different, junk science
@EndTribalism why did you neglect to include these studies? https://jamanetwork.com/journa... https://www.thetransmitter.org...
@EndTribalism They can mock this at their own risk. Tens of thousands of families ruined by child with profound and disabling autism. Decades of misery. Mostly ignored and patronized. I am looking for justice.
@EndTribalism Science is not political, its politicians that are bribed to be a mouthpiece for corporate profit.
@EndTribalism Trump and RFK Jr. stirring the pot with Tylenol-autism claims 🤔 Science pushes back, MAHA falters 🚫 Always dig deeper than headlines 🔍
@EndTribalism They should be mocked. When 100% of cord plasma shows acetominophen metabolites but only 4.2% of that population show ASD, you can't say X causes Y. https://jamanetwork.com/journa...
@EndTribalism Autism pre-dates Tylenol
@EndTribalism @grok Why does pain pill manufactures use Tylenol to increase the pain killers? The more Tylenol the stronger the pain relief, and it destroys the liver amongst other things.
@EndTribalism Ain't the fact that it can fuck up your liver bad enough?
@EndTribalism This is just the beginning of the research, there will be more coming out. You can't trust any of those colleges. If they weren't bought and paid for so many people wouldn't be sick.
@EndTribalism Oh yeah bc so much progress has been made. 1-12 kids. You speak of those institutions yet they fell in the covid 19 vaccine sword. They have proven to be untrustworthy. Still haven’t got the vaccine and I’m still healthy. 🤷🏻♀️
@EndTribalism More than likely a politically compromised conclusion to save vaccines from actual scrutiny.
