The press conference was advertised as announcing the cause of autism. And as leaks predicted, President Trump and the other top health officials noted a link between Tylenol (acetaminophen) and autism, and cautioned pregnant women to use the painkiller only sparingly and as a last resort.

However, and much more significantly, during the hour-long press conference, Trump repeatedly returned to a completely different topic: vaccines.

With HHS Secretary Kennedy and other top health officials standing stoically behind him, President Trump called the current vaccine schedule “a disgrace.” Stat alarmedly reported that, “Trump compared the shots being given to children to large doses of medications given to horses.” (Oh, the delicious irony: Trump boomeranged their ivermectin slam. Y’all ain’t horses, y’all!)

Barely three minutes in, shattering any remaining peace with pharma companies, Trump turned to Kennedy and asked for a reminder of the “certain groups that don’t take vaccines or pills and have no autism.” Oh yeah, “the Amish. They have essentially no autism.”

Ladies and gentlemen, behold: the Amish are now on the boards. Pharma has tried to dodge that inconvenient community of healthy, horse-drawn resisters for decades, but Trump’s got hold of them now. ...

The relentless searching has already started. President Trump announced thirteen “major” new NIH grant studies investigating the causes of autism. “They have to do it, and they have to move quickly,” the President said.

He wasn’t finished, not even close. “Don’t let them 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,” Trump warned. He repeatedly stressed his own opinion that mothers should neither give babies Tylenol (except as a last resort), nor get pediatric vaccines in batches.

“Four visits to the doctor instead of one,” Trump stressed over and over. “Break it up.”

The President recalled a woman who worked for him at Trump Tower. She had a “beautiful, wonderful, healthy baby boy.” One day, Trump came in, and found the poor lady crying hysterically. She sobbed, “I took him for a vaccine, sir, and he developed an unbelievable temperature. And I’ve lost him.” After finishing the tragic tale, the President said he even knew of two or three more cases. ...

But, contrary to the official language, everything the President said at the podium referenced vaccine risks. The NIH’s 13 major new studies —an eye-watering $50 million in total grants— weren’t in any way limited to or focused on acetaminophen as a potential cause. And Secretary Kennedy confirmed that HHS was “closely examining vaccines.”

The $50 million program is one of the largest targeted federal research infusions for autism in recent U.S. history, reversing years of declining funding for autism research. Kennedy explained that prior research had focused almost exclusively on “genetic factors,” while ignoring environmental causes, and they were running out of genes to examine.

"So it was Tylenol, not vaccines?"

Some Kids Getting Double or Triple Vaccinated, California Nurse Says

Babies and children who lack paper vaccination records sometimes receive two or three times the number of vaccines recommended by the CDC, according to experts who spoke with The Defender.

Lawmakers in Florida are moving to introduce new laws that will force medical examiners to investigate the vaccination history of any young adult, child, or infant who dies suddenly.

Florida is moving to shine a light on the connection between vaccines and sudden deaths in young, healthy people.

The links have long been a taboo subject that the medical establishment has tried to bury.

State Sen. Ileana Garcia introduced Senate Bill 188 this week, a proposal that would make Florida the first state to require medical examiners to document and report all recent vaccinations when investigating cases of sudden death in children and young people.

If passed, the bill would mandate that examiners review immunization records and report any vaccines or “emergency countermeasures” administered within 90 days of death to the CDC’s Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) and Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) Case Registry.

Medical examiners who fail to comply would face penalties.

Currently, Florida does not even provide medical examiners with a reporting option to flag recent vaccinations in autopsy findings.

“This is about finally looking at the data instead of ignoring it,” said Maija Hahn, a leading pathologist and autism specialist, who authored the bill.

“We’ve seen a massive increase in sudden deaths since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The CDC Has Updated Its “Autism and Vaccines” Page

This is a start to what honest science looks like




The new “Autism and Vaccines” page starts telling the truth, including:

“The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”

“Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy.”

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/autism.html

Somalis in Minnesota swindled millions in state Medicaid autism-care programs and sent the cash back to their homeland and its terror groups, investigators say.

Yesterday, the CDC quietly updated its Q&A page on “Autism and Vaccines.” It now begins with a remarkable summary of “Key Points,” including the astonishing admissions that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim” and that health authorities have ignored the links...

Bedwetting “career scientists at the agency responsible for information about vaccine safety and autism” told WaPo they “had no prior knowledge about the changes to the website and were not consulted.” Anonymously, of course. Cowards. ...

WaPo quoted only one named (now former) CDC official. Guess who? I’ll give you some hints, stop me when you guess it: he’s bald and skinny, he likes leather and bondage, he is an open Satanist, and he was the Tsar of MonkeyPox. Yes! Demetre Daskalakis. Demetre whined, “the CDC cannot currently be trusted as a scientific voice.”



It is simply amazing how happily corporate media and progressive readers accept this flamboyant freak as their unofficial CDC expert on trustworthy science. Does judgment matter at all anymore? Oh, well. At least he wasn’t stealing women’s underwear from the airport luggage conveyor!

For the Administration, HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon simply explained, “We are updating the CDC’s website to reflect gold standard, evidence-based science.” Indeed, the new page continues at great length, soberly and scientifically pointing out what various peer-reviewed studies suggest about the connection, describing what little evidence is so far available, and forthrightly admitting what research remains to be done.

So. For people convinced of some Kennedy conspiracy to let vaccines off the hook— hopefully you’re feeling better now.

💉 Hilariously, the top of the Q&A page still confusingly says “Vaccines do not cause autism” —the original title— but it now carries a new asterisk. The asterisk says, and I am not making this up:

“* The header ‘Vaccines do not cause autism’ has not been removed, due to an agreement with the chair of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website.”
The guffaw-producing, asterisked headline is the result of a “deal” that Republicans made with Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.) in exchange for his critical vote to confirm Kennedy as HHS Secretary. At the time, Cassidy recited the agreement into the record, saying (among a list of other promises) that the “CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”

Well, Senator, the statement has not been removed. It was asterisked. (For context, Sen. Cassidy voted to (unsuccessfully) convict the President in the 2021 Senate Impeachment trial that claimed Trump incited a January 6th ‘insurrection.’ He Cassidy has never apologized, but he was censured by the Louisiana GOP.)

Senator Cassidy might have a legitimate complaint about malicious compliance. Leaving the original headline as-is, with an asterisk highlighting the deal, then immediately breaking the spirit of the deal, might arguably be even more offensive than just breaking the promise outright.

They are basically rubbing it in his face.

But Cassidy’s demand was unreasonable. Contracts 101 teaches that contracts to do something illegal are unenforceable.

In other words, Cassidy asked Kennedy to promise to lie. That’s neither ethical nor a legitimate agreement. Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) can be legally enforced against, ahem, affectionate actresses, requiring them not to talk about any intimate encounters. But a contract requiring that same actress to lie in court and testify that she did have sex with the man— that agreement cannot be enforced.

If the vaccine-autism issue is important to you, read the new web page, it is a balm for the soul. The most important sentence promises: “HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.” Giddyup.

We’ve long mused over new NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya’s mild promises to “restore gold-standard science” to the agencies. This story, and the media’s hysterical reaction to a single updated CDC web page, show that Jay’s modest promises are actually a battle cry. He’s blinding them— with science.

PS: Jay Bhattacharya is a hero. The Stanford professor gave me a scientific affidavit for my first covid vaccine lawsuit back in summer, 2021 (for free!) and attended the key hearing in case I needed to call him as a witness. (We won.) From personal knowledge, I can tell you he is an all-in Christian, is wicked smart, and is one of the most genuine and quietly courageous men I have ever met.

On November 19, 2025, quietly and without ceremony, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its website and rewrote one of the most politically charged sentences in modern American medicine. A sentence that had been treated as gospel—“Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism”—was suddenly recast as something far more fragile. In the CDC’s own words, the slogan “is not an evidence‑based statement” because available studies “have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism.” ...

The body of the page reads like a confession. It acknowledges that key infant vaccines—including HepB, DTaP, Hib, PCV13, IPV, rotavirus, and influenza—have never been studied for autism outcomes. It admits that earlier studies used to justify the categorical claim were incapable of ruling out causation. It concedes that mechanistic and associative findings were ignored by health authorities. And it promises, for the first time, an HHS‑led effort to conduct “gold‑standard science” to evaluate whether early‑life vaccination can contribute to autism.

The vaccine advisory panel for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday voted in favor of changing long-held guidance for newborn hepatitis B vaccinations.

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted 8-3 in favor of altering the recommendation that all newborns receive hepatitis B vaccinations at birth.

The language of the vote was:

“For infants born to HBsAg-negative women: ACIP recommends individual-based decision-making, in consultation with a health care provider, for parents deciding when or if to give the HBV vaccine, including the birth dose. A Parents and health care providers should consider vaccine benefits, vaccine risks, and infection risks. For those not receiving the HBV birth dose, it is suggested that the initial dose is administered no earlier than 2 months of age.”
