A new KFF poll finds growing public uncertainty about health information—especially after recent claims linking Tylenol use in pregnancy to autism, despite inconclusive evidence. 📊

Trust in the CDC has dropped to its lowest level since the pandemic, while medical associations like the AMA and AAP remain more trusted sources.



Following the Trump administration’s warning last month that using acetaminophen – the active ingredient in Tylenol – during pregnancy can increase the risk of autism in children, very few (4%) adults say the claim about a causal relationship is “definitely true,” a new KFF Tracking Poll o...
