"Trump held a Cabinet meeting Thursday on the heels of a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, during which Trump Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held forth with a wild story about Tylenol. Not to be outdone, Trump went on a tangent and falsehood-riddled weave that saw him again tell pregnant women to tough it out and burnish his credentials to dispense medical advice to an entire nation as a non-doctor who is, however, a common sense man."
"So, think of that one in 20,000, [False: Historical autism prevalence in the US was estimated around 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 10,000 in the 1970s-1980s, not 1 in 20,000. Current rates are about 1 in 31 overall; roughly 1 in 25 boys and 1 in 70 girls] and now it's one in 12 for boys, one in 18, 19 for girls."
A Cabinet meeting convened after a peace deal between Israel and Hamas featured Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recounting a Tylenol anecdote and President Donald Trump launching a tangent on vaccines and autism. The president urged pregnant women to "tough it out," claimed medical authority despite not being a doctor, and suggested altering vaccine dosing. An analysis counted 60 false, misleading, or inaccurate claims, including repeated assertions. Factual corrections note historical autism prevalence estimates, current rates, diagnostic and awareness influences, lack of causal vaccine links, and that infant vaccine doses are tiny fractions of a milliliter.
