SCOOP: Tylenol Maker Privately Admitted Evidence Was Getting ‘Heavy’ For Autism Risk In 2018

(Worthy Insights) – The pharmaceutical company behind Tylenol privately acknowledged the likelihood of an association between its drug in pregnancy and neurodegenerative disorders like autism in children seven years ago, company documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

“The weight of the evidence is starting to feel heavy to me,” said Rachel Weinstein, U.S. director of epidemiology for Janssen, the pharmaceutical arm of Johnson & Johnson, in 2018. Johnson & Johnson marketed Tylenol at the time but in 2023 spun off its consumer products division into a separate company called Kenvue.

Legacy media headlines and vocal public health experts have dismissed the conclusion of President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that Tylenol taken in pregnancy and early infancy has driven rises in autism. But one stakeholder has for years viewed the evidence as credible enough to act upon, at least privately: The makers of Tylenol. [ Source (Read More…) ]

  1. Nah, pure bunk…Big Pharma is our friend of the family. They would never put profit b4 our safety especially the most innocent of society the unborn. For example, remember the drug Thalidomide many decades ago? It was a sleep aide for pregnant mommies but caused horrific deformities in the babies. Look it up on the internet & see how “the friend of the family” handled that catastrophe.
    They also sell abortion pills these days…ah the almighty dollar reigns supreme.
