'RFK Jr. suggests circumcision is linked to autism'
(CBS News) "Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested there may be a link between autism and circumcision while reasserting the unproven theory that Tylenol causes the disorder and medical experts are pushing back against the claims."
" 'There's two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It's highly likely because they are given Tylenol,' Kennedy stated during a Cabinet meeting on Thursday."
"Circumcision is a surgical procedure that removes the foreskin from a boy's penis. For some, circumcision is a part of cultural or religious practices. A 2025 study from Johns Hopkins Medicine found the prevalence of the practice had decreased nearly 5%, going from 54.1% to 49.3% from 2012 to 2022."
