WHITE HOUSE AUTISM BRIEFING 20 NOV / DEC 2025 I  HEALTHCARE JOURNAL OF NEW ORLEANS   just . . . The word, tough it out. It’s easy for me to say tough it out. But sometimes in life with a lot of other things, you have to tough it out also. Don’t take Tylenol. Don’t give Tylenol to the baby. When the baby’s born, they throw it at you, “Here, give them a couple of Tylenol.”They give them a shot. They give them a vaccine. And every time they give them a vaccine, they throw in Tyle- nol. And some of these babies they’re long born, and all of a sudden they’re gone. And it doesn’t hurt not to do it. It doesn’t hurt. There’s no downside. There’s no downside at all. And break up MMR, break it up. It’s prac- tically a known fact that if you break it up, you’re not going to have a problem. But for years we’ve been hearing how bad MMR is as a combination. And I’m very happy that you broke out chickenpox because that was really a problem. And there are other things. It’s interesting, ’cause there are other things we were talk- ing about it, other different drugs, pills, that you take, that we know are so bad and they don’t take them anymore. But for some rea- son with this, they keep taking it. Don’t take Tylenol. There’s no downside. Don’t take it. You’ll be uncomfortable, it won’t be as easy maybe, but don’t take it. If you’re pregnant, don’t take Tylenol and don’t give it to the baby after the baby is born. And you knowwhat?We have more than three years left. And I told Bobby and the doctors behind me, and they are so commit- ted to this, I told them that this is the number one thing I want to do from you. And we have something else called Favored Nations where I’m going to be reducing drug prices by a 1,000%, by 900, 600, 500, 1, 200. We’re going to be reducing drug prices at levels never seen. It’s called Favored Nations. We’re going to be paying what the . . . Right now we’re like the garbage can for the rest of the world and we have been for forever. We pay much higher for drugs than the rest of the world. We subsidize the rest of the world. We’re not doing that anymore. And that’s a big thing. That’s a big thing. That’s bigger than anything. I told the story the other night that I was so proud of my first term that for the final year drug prices went down one quarter of 1%. And I was so proud. I said, “Why?” I’m the first one to do it. I think it was 28 years, they said, where drug prices went down from the beginning of the term till the end. And I was so proud, I called a news confer- ence, I said, “Drug prices have gone down. First time it’s happened in 28 years.” You know what it was, one quarter of 1%. I was so proud. Now we’re going to have them go down from $100 a pill to $9 a pill. From $1,300 for a shot of like an Ozempic — I call it the fat pill or the fat drug. Sometimes it works, I guess, for people. The ones I’ve seen, it hasn’t worked so well. I got a lot of friends, they’re fat. They said, “Yeah, I lost some weight.”I said, “You don’t look it to me.”But they paid $1,300, $1,200. And they go to Lon- don and they pay $88. And they call me, they go, “What’s this all about?”We’re subsidiz- ing the rest of the world, stupidly, because we had a lot of stupid people in this country running things. And how big is that? But to me, that’s nothing compared to autism. I see that gorgeous boy. I have a big present for him in the back. You bring him back. We’re going to bring him into the Oval Office. I have the best present he’s ever going to get, okay? A big one. I saved it for you, okay? ’Cause I heard you were coming. Look how beautiful he is. So that’s it. There’s nothing much to say. Don’t take Tylenol if you’re pregnant, and don’t give Tylenol to your child when he’s born or she’s born. Don’t give it. Just don’t give it. And we’re going to have, I think, really . . . If you do the things that I say, break it up. Just break it up. Break up the shots with the doctor. MMRs, as I told you, sepa- rate, separate, separate. Chickenpox, already separate. You do these things. I’m telling you, when I leave office, I don’t want to have . . . it’s going to be the kind of number that we’re hearing where it’s one in 32 or one in 10, because I’ve heard one in 10 also. And in California it’s really bad. I want it to be, let’s get it back to maybe one in 10,000 or one in 20,000 or maybe none in 20,000. And the only way you’re going to do that, ’cause this is artificially induced, this is induced by something. You don’t go from one in 20,000 to one in 10,000, then to one in 10. That means you’re taking something and something’s wrong. And I feel very certain, and I know I’ll be criticized some Question: “Mr. President, medical professionals have warned for decades—” President Trump: “No, no, not you. You’re CNN. You’re fake news. Go ahead, Brian.”
