President Trump: The meteoric rise in autism is among the most alarming public health developments in history. There's never been anything like this. Just a few decades ago, one in ten thousand children had autism…now it's one in thirty-one, but in some areas, it's much worse than that, if you can believe it, and I gave numbers yesterday; for boys, it's one in twelve. I was told that's in California, where, for some reason, they have a more severe problem.
President Trump: The Amish, as an example, they have essentially no autism.
President Trump: Effective immediately, the FDA will be notifying physicians that the use of Acetaminophen, which is basically commonly known as Tylenol, during pregnancy, can be associated with a very increase risk of autism. So taking Tylenol is not good. I'll say it; it's not good.
President Trump: Take it in smaller doses, and spread it out over a period of years [vaccines]. They pump so much stuff into those beautiful little babies, it's a disgrace. I think it's very bad.
President Trump: Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted. There's no reason to give a baby, that's almost just born, Hepatitis B [vaccine].
FDA Commissioner Makary: To quote the dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, "There is a causal relationship between prenatal Acetaminophen use, and neurodevelopment disorders of ADHD and autism spectrum disorder."
President Trump: It's so important to me, to see the doctor four times or five times for a vaccine. Don't let 'em pump your baby up with the largest pile of stuff you've ever seen in your life, going into the delicate little body of a baby…we're already taken out, and are in the process of taking out, mercury, and aluminum, now. You know what mercury is. You know what aluminum is. Who the hell wants that pumped into a body? There were rumors about both of them for a long time, but we're having them taken out. We're having them taken out of the vaccines.
President Trump: Don't take Tylenol [if pregnant]! There's no downside. Don't take it. You'll be uncomfortable, it won't be as easy, maybe, but don't take it. If you're pregnant, don't take Tylenol.
