In his quest to find an environmental “cause” for autism, RFK Jr has honed in on acetaminophen. Initially, it was gestational exposure. Now it’s acetaminophen exposure in newborn boys who were circumcised: “While Kennedy did not cite specific research, he appeared to be referencing two older studies. “One was likely a 2015 Danish national cohort […]
