Trump Previews Announcement Of Autism/Tylenol Link: “Children Get These Massive Vaccines Like You Give To A Horse”
President Trump offered these comments on vaccine safety ahead of an announcement that will reportedly link the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy to autism. President Trump and HHS Secretary Kennedy will report on the findings of a meta-study on possible causes of autism on Monday afternoon.
REPORTER: Mr. President, multiple news outlets are reporting that you plan to tie Tylenol to increased risk of autism. Can you confirm? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We’re going to do it. I think it’s a very big factor. I think you’ll see what it is. We have various things, but you’ll see what it is. I think it’s going to be very important news, and we want things to take effect immediately. You know, if there’s a question-even if there’s a question-you just do it, right? Great research has been done. If you think: let’s say 15 years ago, 1 in 10,000 were born with autism. And now it’s-think of it-1 in 12, 1 in 10. Boys: 1 in 10 or 12, two different studies. Girls: it’s 1 in 20. Can you imagine 1 in 20? Twenty-two years ago, it was 1 in 20,000. Then it got down to 1 in 10,000, 17 years ago, and now it’s 1 in 12. Actually, boys are 1 in 12 and 1 in 10. Can you imagine? 1 in 10, when it used to be 1 in 20,000. So there’s obviously something artificial that’s really wrong. And we think we know what that is. REPORTER: To announce any link between vaccines and autism-? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Vaccines are very interesting. They can be great. But when you put the wrong stuff in them-and you know, children get these massive vaccines like you’d give to a horse. Like you’d give to a horse. And I’ve said for a long time, this is no secret: spread them out over five years. Get five shots, small ones. Did you ever see what they give? I mean, for a little baby to be injected with that much fluid? Even beyond the actual ingredients, sometimes 80 different vaccines-and it’s crazy. It’s a common-sense thing too. It’s like you’re shooting up a horse. You have a little body, a little baby, and you’re pumping this big thing. It’s a horrible thing. So I’ve always felt that. But we’ll be having a big discussion about autism.
