Trump says Tylenol use in pregnancy tied to autism

The Manila Times

Trump says Tylenol use in pregnancy tied to autism  U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday (September 22) there was a link between the use of popular over-the-counter pain medication Tylenol and the development of autism during pregnancy, a claim which many doctors dispute.  Trump also suggested leucovorin, a form of folic acid, as a treatment for autism symptoms during a White House event. The Food and Drug Administration published a notice to the Federal Register ahead of his speech, approving a version of the drug made by GSK it had previously withdrawn. The FDA approved the drug for a condition it associated with autism.

00:00So, since 2000, autism rates have surged by much more than 400%.

00:06Instead of attacking those who ask questions, everyone should be grateful for those who

00:11are trying to get the answers to this complex situation.

00:16Administrator of the Centers for Medicine and Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmed Az.

00:22First, effective immediately, the FDA will be notifying physicians at the use of a set

00:29of, well, let's see how we say that, acetaminophen, acetaminophen, is that okay, which is basically

00:41commonly known as Tylenol during pregnancy can be associated with a very increased risk

00:51of autism.

00:52So, taking Tylenol is not good.

00:59All right?

01:00I'll say it.

01:01It's not good.

01:03And the first day, all of these great doctors behind me were there.

01:07I told them, this is what we got to, we have to find out, because I think you shouldn't

01:11take it.

01:12And you shouldn't take it during the entire pregnancy.

01:14They may tell you that toward the end of the pregnancy, you shouldn't take it during the

01:17entire.

01:18And you shouldn't give the child a Tylenol every time he goes, he's born, and he goes

01:22and has a shot.

01:24You shouldn't give a Tylenol to that child.

01:27The FDA will be updating the label of an existing drug to reflect potential benefits in reducing

01:34some autism symptoms.

01:37This gives hope to the many parents with autistic children that it may be possible to improve

01:42their lives.

01:43This is one of the things that I'm very, very happy about.

01:46This was mostly going to be on how not to have the child affected.

01:52But we've learned some pretty good things about certain elements of genius that can be given

01:59to a baby, and the baby can get better.

02:03Finally, to help reach the ultimate goal of ending the autism fever, the NIH will be announcing

02:0913 major grant awards from the autism data science initiatives.

02:14And to be honest with you, to me, that's the least important.

02:17It's not even a money thing at this point.

02:18There's so much money.

02:20But they have to do.

02:22And they have to move quickly.

02:24When the alternative is that nothing bad can happen, let's do it now.

02:28I was just saying to Bobby and the group, let's do it now.

02:32Nothing bad can happen.

02:33It can only good happen.

02:35But with Tylenol, don't take it.

02:37Don't take it.

02:39I also — and we've already done this — we want no mercury in the vaccine.

02:46We want no aluminum in the vaccine.

02:49The MMR, I think, should be taken separately.

02:51This is based on what I feel, the mumps, measles.

02:58And the three should be taken separately.

03:03And then hepatitis B is sexually transmitted.

03:10There's no reason to give a baby that's almost just born hepatitis B.

03:17So I would say wait till the baby is 12 years old and formed and take hepatitis B.

03:28And they try to take hepatitis B.
