Antivaxxers are BIG mad at RFK Jr and Donald Trump. They feel betrayed that the White House did not link vaccines to autism, which is the lie they are willing to die on. Tylenol, meh. They don't MIND a connection being made that doesn't involve blaming genetics or just bad luck. They need SOMETHING or SOMEONE to blame.

Mother Jones did incredible reporting on this topic. Tylenol has never been linked to autism, so this came totally out of left field. Claiming that pregnant women taking tylenol was the cause of their children's autism is truly horrific. In addition to the tylenol lies, RFK also said that a folate deficiency is another cause and that taking high doses of a vitamin could reverse or reduce symptoms...another lie.

Trump, in a totally unhinged press conference where he could not even pronounce the word "Acetaminophen" did bring up vaccines. He said that kids should not get multiple vaccines at one, even suggesting that MMR be spread out into 3 shots. Oh, and Hepatitis B should be given at age 12, not at birth as recommended due to the risk of contracting it during birth.

Kennedy's former antivax organization, the Children’s Health Defense, were very displeased...and they didn't hide that displeasure.
The current President and General Counsel, Mary Holland, went on Steve Bannon's War Room podcase and said that the press conference was “something of a sideshow" and that "Tylenol is not the primary cause. Vaccines are the primary cause.”...........................
