"Forty to 70 percent of mothers who have children with autism believe that her child was injured by a vaccine. President Trump believes that we should be listening to these mothers instead of gaslighting and marginalizing them like prior administrations. We will be uncompromising and relentless in our search for answers." -HHS Secretary RFK Jr.

From the outset of his current administration, Trump has made the prevention and improved treatment of autism an all-hands-on-deck priority.

"Effective immediately, the FDA will be notifying physicians that the use of acetaminophen—commonly known as Tylenol—during pregnancy can be associated with a risk of increase of autism," Trump said. "For this reason, they are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy."

"Taking Tylenol is not good," said Trump, who emphasized, "I'll say it. It's not good."

Kennedy, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), expanded on the President's comments.

"To meet the president's challenge, I ordered HHS to launch an unprecedented, all-agency effort to identify all causes of autism, including toxic and pharmaceutical exposures," Kennedy said.

"At President Trump's urging, NIH (the National Institute of Health), FDA (the Food and Drug Administration), the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), and CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) are turning over every stone to identify the (causes) of the autism epidemic and how patients and parents can prevent and reverse this alarming trend," Kennedy said.

"We have broken down the traditional silos that have long separated these agencies and we have fast-tracked research and guidance," he explained.

"Historically, NIH has focused almost solely on politically safe and entirely fruitless research about the genetic drivers of autism," Kennedy noted. "That would be like studying the genetic drivers of lung cancer without looking at cigarettes."

"That's what NIH has been doing for 20 years," he added. "As a result, we don't have an answer to this critical question, despite the cataclysmic impact of the epidemic on our nation's children. We are now replacing the institutional culture of politicized science and corruption with evidence-based medicine."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
