Mother of Autistic Children Calls RFK Jr.’s Autism Claims “Almost Laughable”

Season 2025 Episode 8005 | 18m 18s

Recent claims made by President Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in which they falsely linked autism to the use of Tylenol during pregnancy threaten to distort conversations about the condition.
