Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. used an Oval Office press conference to double down on RFK Jr.’s controversial claims about Tylenol. Trump asked if Kennedy had changed his view, and Kennedy flat-out said no. He’ll stick with his stance “until the science changes,” and argued the evidence against routine Tylenol use in pregnancy/kids is only getting stronger. He told moms to talk to their doctors and said physicians should cut back on dosing kids unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Dr. Mehmet Oz backed the pitch by plugging the administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” message, framing obesity as something solved by diet, exercise, sleep and smarter use of medicines. The whole scene mixed a drug-pricing policy win with a public-health claim that’s obviously controversial: they presented behavioral and access fixes alongside a cautionary line on Tylenol that could shape how people and clinicians talk about pain management for pregnant people and kids.
