  Its deliberately obfuscating a critical part of the quote in order to get more attention.

  Its clickbait.

    how would you have worded the headline to avoid what you call clickbait?

      Evidence linking Tylenol and autism not definitive “but very suggestive”, says health secretary Kennedy.

        “Suggestive evidence is information that hints at a particular conclusion but is not conclusive on its own.”

        So in short, is there no conclusive evidence linking it to autism?

  I think a more accurate paraphrasing would be that he said studies suggest Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism.

    What “studies”? you are now literally making things up and pretending this is less clickbait?

    A month later, Trump and Kennedy, neither of whom are doctors, held a press conference in September to specifically warn pregnant women against taking the medication without citing any scientific evidence.

    Even the FDA, under these absolute morons, cannot come up with anything to throw at Acetaminophen

    “The FDA is responding to prior clinical and laboratory studies that suggest a potential association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes,” the agency said in its announcement. "FDA also recognizes that there are contrary studies showing no association and that there can be risks for untreated fever in pregnancy, both for the mother and fetus. "

      “The causative association with, between Tylenol given in pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism. But it is very suggestive,” Kennedy told reporters, citing animal, blood and observational studies.

      From the OP article, emphasis mine.

      Even the quote you shared says “prior clinical and laboratory studies”.

        yes but they have provided no such “studies” to “suggest” this link… it is literally the opinion, without ANY SUBSTANCE, of a guy who chooses to swim in black water
