Sigh. There was a definitive meta-analysis in 2024. Well, about as definitive as a meta-analysis can get. It didn't find a relationship between tylenol and autism. It was able to explain all previous associations as mere confounding from observable but not controlled variables.

“Johnson & Johnson divested its consumer health business years ago, and all rights and liabilities associated with the sale of its over-the-counter products, including Tylenol (acetaminophen), are owned by Kenvue,” a Johnson & Johnson spokesman said in a statement.

… Hearings before the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in the class action suit against Kenvue will begin Oct. 9. Judge Denise Cote granted summary judgement for Kenvue in September 2023, after tossing the scientific testimony from experts for Keller Postman, citing the “great public health implications” of pregnant women not having the drug.…”
