Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / Trump and RFK Jr: Acetaminophen may be Associated w Increased Risk of Autism
Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: The FDA will be updating the label of an existing
- 0:05Speaker 1: drug to reflect potential benefits in reducing some autism symptoms symptoms.
- 0:10Speaker 1: This gives hope to the many parents with autistic children
- 0:13Speaker 1: that it may be possible to improve their lives. That's
- 0:15Speaker 1: one of the things that I'm very very happy about.
- 0:18Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning. So nice to have you with us
- 0:24Speaker 3: on the forty seven Morning Update. And we've got one
- 0:27Speaker 3: major story for you. The President of the United States America,
- 0:31Speaker 3: standing next to RFK Junior and doctor Oz have come
- 0:34Speaker 3: out with major changes and recommendations when it comes to
- 0:39Speaker 3: dealing with the issue of autism. The President said he'd
- 0:42Speaker 3: been waiting twenty years to do this. You are going
- 0:45Speaker 3: to hear the facts about what has been said, and
- 0:48Speaker 3: then we will play you what the President said in
- 0:51Speaker 3: its entirety, and we also hear from RFK Junior. All Right,
- 0:56Speaker 3: I want to take a moment and I want to
- 0:58Speaker 3: talk to you real quick about what you can do
- 1:01Speaker 3: to help the people in Israel. It was nearly two
- 1:05Speaker 3: years ago that the terrorists murdered more than twelve hundred
- 1:09Speaker 3: innocent Israelis and they took two hundred and fifty hostages.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Today it seems as if the cries of the dead
- 1:15Speaker 3: and dying have been drowned out by the shouts of
- 1:18Speaker 3: anti Semitism and just pure hatred, not just in America
- 1:21Speaker 3: but around the world. And the most brutal attack on
- 1:24Speaker 3: Jewish people happened. It happened since the Holocaust, and now
- 1:28Speaker 3: it's like they're trying to act like it never happened. Now.
- 1:32Speaker 3: This is where it is important for us to stand
- 1:34Speaker 3: with the people in Israel. It's a movement of love
- 1:38Speaker 3: and support for the people of Israel, and this is
- 1:41Speaker 3: where I want you to get involved. It is called
- 1:44Speaker 3: Flags of Fellowship. It's being organized by the International Fellowship
- 1:49Speaker 3: of Christians and Jews. On October fifth, you can stand
- 1:54Speaker 3: with Israel and the victims proudly. Just a few weeks away,
- 1:58Speaker 3: millions across the America will prayerfully plant an Israeli flag
- 2:03Speaker 3: in honor and solidarity with the victims of October the seventh,
- 2:07Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, and stand with their grieving families. You
- 2:12Speaker 3: can be a part of this movement as well. And
- 2:15Speaker 3: that's what I love about what IFCJ does they're making
- 2:18Speaker 3: sure that the world knows there are lots of people
- 2:22Speaker 3: of faith in this country and friends and advocates for Israel.
- 2:26Speaker 3: They're going to stand with them. You can get more
- 2:28Speaker 3: information about how you can join the Flags of Fellowship movement,
- 2:32Speaker 3: including your church. There are going to be countless churches
- 2:36Speaker 3: around the country. They're going to plant flags as well.
- 2:39Speaker 3: So all you have to do to get involved with
- 2:41Speaker 3: Flags of Fellowship movement is go to IFCJ dot org.
- 2:46Speaker 3: That's IFCJ dot org. Stand with Israel on October the fifth,
- 2:51Speaker 3: it's just a few weeks away. And if your church
- 2:53Speaker 3: you think would want to be involved, you can also
- 2:55Speaker 3: find out more about how to get your church to
- 2:58Speaker 3: be involved on a special Sunday at IFCJ dot org.
- 3:02Speaker 3: That's if CJ dot org. It's the forty seven Morning
- 3:07Speaker 3: Update and it starts.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Right now story number one.
- 3:10Speaker 3: It was a major announcement from the White House today
- 3:13Speaker 3: is President Donald Trump, RFK Junior, doctor Oz and others
- 3:17Speaker 3: gathered to talk about an important issue and that is autism,
- 3:21Speaker 3: and the takeaways are significant. Donald Trump and RFK Junior
- 3:25Speaker 3: described autism spectrum disorder known as asd AS having surged
- 3:31Speaker 3: four hundred percent since the year two thousand. They stated
- 3:35Speaker 3: it now affects about one and thirty one American children. Now,
- 3:40Speaker 3: the President had one significant warning and it was talking
- 3:43Speaker 3: about a set of metaphin also known as taiwan al.
- 3:46Speaker 3: The administration is associating a seat of medaphin or taiwanol
- 3:50Speaker 3: used during pregnancy with a possible increased risk of autism
- 3:55Speaker 3: based on earlier studies. As a result, the FDA will
- 3:59Speaker 3: issue a physician to notice and start the process to
- 4:02Speaker 3: change safety labeling for a seat of metaphin to reflect
- 4:05Speaker 3: these concerns. Now, the administration is also launching a public
- 4:10Speaker 3: service campaign to inform families and advise pregnant women to
- 4:15Speaker 3: use a seat of metaphin only when medically necessary, use
- 4:19Speaker 3: the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible for
- 4:23Speaker 3: the patient. We're also learning about research investment. The NIH
- 4:27Speaker 3: is funding thirteen new projects under what they call the
- 4:31Speaker 3: Autism Data Science Initiative the ADSI, with more than fifty
- 4:37Speaker 3: million in grants involving large scale biological, clinical, environmental, and
- 4:43Speaker 3: behavioral data. Also, the administration said they will create replication
- 4:48Speaker 3: hubs and include community engagement to ensure the research aligns
- 4:52Speaker 3: with the needs of families and people suffering with autism.
- 4:57Speaker 3: We also know that they're looking into other cures for autism.
- 5:01Speaker 3: The White House also said they're going to look at
- 5:03Speaker 3: things that can help people with autisms and even the
- 5:05Speaker 3: real possibility of cures obviously under medical supervision, working with
- 5:10Speaker 3: doctors and different therapies. And then if you get back
- 5:14Speaker 3: to a seat of medicine known as Taiwan on to
- 5:16Speaker 3: you and I. There is recognition of conflicting literature. The
- 5:21Speaker 3: announcement acknowledges that there is no conclusive, casual proof that
- 5:25Speaker 3: tawanol causes autism. There is concern, however, about untreated fever,
- 5:31Speaker 3: another risk if women avoid the drug completely, and that
- 5:35Speaker 3: is what RFK said is important transparency. RFK Junior, in
- 5:41Speaker 3: his role as a Secretary of Health and Human Services,
- 5:44Speaker 3: has played a central role in the announcement. Part of
- 5:47Speaker 3: what he said today, he emphasized that autism has been
- 5:51Speaker 3: neglected and that families have been left without answers or
- 5:54Speaker 3: options as rates have continued to rise. He described the
- 5:58Speaker 3: administration's approach bold and supportive of opening up new treatment pathways,
- 6:04Speaker 3: in forming families and doctors of potential risks and investing
- 6:08Speaker 3: insignificant research which will benefit many Americans. RFK Junior also
- 6:14Speaker 3: says he supports the FDA's label updates for different types
- 6:18Speaker 3: of treatment for children with AST who have different deficiencies
- 6:23Speaker 3: that need different types of treatment, and he also said
- 6:26Speaker 3: it will deal with Medicaid when appropriate as well. RFK
- 6:30Speaker 3: Junior back to move to begin changing safety communications and
- 6:35Speaker 3: labeling for a set of medicine use during pregnancy, while
- 6:38Speaker 3: urging medical caution and acknowledging uncertainties. So what is this
- 6:43Speaker 3: about transparency. Yes, there's already a massive amount of pushback
- 6:48Speaker 3: and caution for medical experts, but what the White House
- 6:52Speaker 3: is saying is we can't keep doing things the way
- 6:55Speaker 3: we are now, which brings me to what the President
- 6:58Speaker 3: had to say at the White House and RFK Junior.
- 7:01Speaker 3: I want you to hear from both of them in
- 7:03Speaker 3: their own words.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
- 7:07Speaker 2: So.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this meeting for twenty years actually,
- 7:11Speaker 1: and it's not that everything's one hundred percent understood or known,
- 7:15Speaker 1: but I think we've made a lot of strides. I
- 7:19Speaker 1: wish it was done a long time ago. Today we're
- 7:23Speaker 1: delighted to be joined by America's top medical and public
- 7:26Speaker 1: health professionals as we announced historic steps to confront the
- 7:29Speaker 1: crisis of autism. Horrible, horrible crisis. I want to thank
- 7:36Speaker 1: the man who brought this issue to the forefront of
- 7:40Speaker 1: American politics along with me, and we actually met in
- 7:45Speaker 1: my office. Is it like twenty years ago, Bobby, It's
- 7:49Speaker 1: probably twenty years ago in New York. I was a developer,
- 7:52Speaker 1: as you probably heard. I always had very strong feelings
- 7:55Speaker 1: about autism and how it happened and where it came from.
- 7:59Speaker 1: And he and I, I don't know the word got out,
- 8:03Speaker 1: and I wouldn't say that people were very understanding of
- 8:08Speaker 1: where we were. But it's turning out that we understood
- 8:11Speaker 1: a lot more than a lot of people who studied it.
- 8:14Speaker 1: We think, and I say we think because I don't
- 8:17Speaker 1: think they were really letting the public know what they knew.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Thanks as well to the Director of the National Institute
- 8:24Speaker 1: of Health, doctor j Badicharia, FDA Commissioner doctor Martin mccairry.
- 8:30Speaker 1: These are great people. Administrator of the Centers for Medicine
- 8:34Speaker 1: and Medicaid Services, doctor Memodaz, and Acting Assistant Secretary of HHS,
- 8:40Speaker 1: doctor Dorothy Think. So thank you all. Thank you Dorothy
- 8:44Speaker 1: very much. The meteoric rise in autism is among the
- 8:48Speaker 1: most alarming public health developments in history. There's never been
- 8:53Speaker 1: anything like this. Just a few decades ago, one in
- 8:57Speaker 1: ten thousand children had autism. That's not a long time,
- 9:01Speaker 1: and I've always heard, you know, they sell a few,
- 9:04Speaker 1: but I think it's a lot less time than that.
- 9:08Speaker 1: It used to be one in twenty thousand, then one
- 9:11Speaker 1: in ten thousand, and I would say that's probably eighteen
- 9:15Speaker 1: years ago, and now it's one in thirty one. But
- 9:21Speaker 1: in some areas it's much worse than that, if you
- 9:24Speaker 1: can believe it. One in thirty one, and I gave
- 9:27Speaker 1: numbers yesterday for boys, it's one in twelve. I was
- 9:30Speaker 1: told that's in California, where they have a for some reason,
- 9:34Speaker 1: a more severe problem. But whether it's one in twelve
- 9:38Speaker 1: or one in thirty one, can you imagine that's down
- 9:40Speaker 1: from one in twenty thousand and one in ten thousand
- 9:44Speaker 1: and now we're at the level of one in twelve
- 9:47Speaker 1: in some cases for boys, one in thirty one overall.
- 9:53Speaker 1: So since two thousand, autism rates have surged by much
- 9:57Speaker 1: more than four hundred percent. Instead of attacking those who
- 10:01Speaker 1: ask questions, everyone should be grateful for those who are
- 10:04Speaker 1: trying to get the answers to this complex situation. And
- 10:10Speaker 1: the first day all of these great doctors behind me
- 10:13Speaker 1: were there, I told them, this is what we got it.
- 10:15Speaker 1: We have to find out because when you go from
- 10:17Speaker 1: twenty thousand to ten thousand and then you go to twelve,
- 10:24Speaker 1: you know there's something artificial. They're taking something. And by
- 10:28Speaker 1: the way, I think I can say that there are
- 10:29Speaker 1: certain groups of people that don't take vaccines and don't
- 10:32Speaker 1: take any pills, that have no autism, that have no autism.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Does that tell you something that's currently Is that a
- 10:41Speaker 1: correct statement? By the way, there.
- 10:44Speaker 4: Are some studies that suggest that yeah, with the Homish,
- 10:47Speaker 4: for example.
- 10:48Speaker 1: The Amish, yeah, virtually no, I heard none. See. Bobby
- 10:53Speaker 1: wants to be very careful with what he says, and
- 10:56Speaker 1: he should, but I'm not so careful with what I say.
- 10:58Speaker 1: But you have certain groups Amish as an example, they
- 11:02Speaker 1: have essentially no autism. First effective immediately, the FDA will
- 11:09Speaker 1: be notifying physicians that the use of said well, let's
- 11:14Speaker 1: see how we say that acid menefin acetaminofin said okay,
- 11:23Speaker 1: which is basically commonly known as thailand all during pregnancy
- 11:29Speaker 1: can be associated with a very increased risk of autism.
- 11:37Speaker 1: So taking thailand all is not good, all right, I'll
- 11:43Speaker 1: say it. It's not good. For this reason, they are
- 11:49Speaker 1: strongly recommending that women limit tiler all use during pregnancy
- 11:53Speaker 1: unless medically necessary. That's, for instance, in cases of extremely
- 12:00Speaker 1: high fever. Then you feel you can't tough it out,
- 12:03Speaker 1: you can't do it. I guess there's that. It's a
- 12:06Speaker 1: small number of cases, I think, But if you can't
- 12:10Speaker 1: tough it out, if you can't do it, that's what
- 12:16Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do. You'll take a tile and all,
- 12:19Speaker 1: but it'll be very sparingly. It can be something that's
- 12:23Speaker 1: very dangerous to the woman's health. In other words, a
- 12:26Speaker 1: fever that's very very dangerous, and ideally a doctor's decision
- 12:32Speaker 1: because I think you shouldn't take it, and you shouldn't
- 12:35Speaker 1: take it during the entire pregnancy. They may tell you
- 12:37Speaker 1: that toward the end of the pregnancy. You shouldn't take
- 12:39Speaker 1: it during the entire and you shouldn't give the child
- 12:42Speaker 1: the tailan all. Every time he goes he's born, and
- 12:45Speaker 1: he goes and has a shot, you shouldn't give a
- 12:48Speaker 1: titlan all to that child. All pregnant women should talk
- 12:52Speaker 1: to their doctors for more information about limiting the use
- 12:55Speaker 1: of this medication while pregnant. So ideally you don't take
- 12:59Speaker 1: it at all, but if you have to, if you
- 13:01Speaker 1: can't tough it out, if there's a problem, you're going
- 13:03Speaker 1: to end up doing it. The other thing that I
- 13:06Speaker 1: can tell you that I'll say that. They will maybe
- 13:10Speaker 1: say it a little bit later date. But I think
- 13:13Speaker 1: when you go for the shot, you do it over
- 13:15Speaker 1: a five time period, take it over five times or
- 13:18Speaker 1: four times, but you take it in smaller doses and
- 13:23Speaker 1: you spread it out over a period of years. And
- 13:27Speaker 1: they pump so much stuff into those beautiful little babies.
- 13:30Speaker 1: It's a disgrace. I don't see it. I think it
- 13:34Speaker 1: has I think it's very bad. They're pumping it looks
- 13:38Speaker 1: like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child,
- 13:41Speaker 1: a little fragile child that he had a vat of
- 13:45Speaker 1: eighty different vaccines I guess eighty different blends, and they
- 13:50Speaker 1: pump it in. So ideally a woman won't take Kyland
- 13:56Speaker 1: all and on the vaccines, it would be good. Instead
- 14:00Speaker 1: of one visit where they pump the baby loaded up
- 14:03Speaker 1: with stuff. You'll do it over a period of four
- 14:07Speaker 1: times or five times.
- 14:08Speaker 4: I was.
- 14:09Speaker 1: I mean, I've been so into this issue for so
- 14:11Speaker 1: many years, just because I couldn't understand how a thing
- 14:14Speaker 1: like this could happen. And you know, it's artificially induced.
- 14:16Speaker 1: It's not like something that when you go from all
- 14:20Speaker 1: of those, you know, healthy babies to a point where
- 14:25Speaker 1: I don't even know structurally if a country can afford it.
- 14:29Speaker 1: And that's the least of the problems. To have families
- 14:32Speaker 1: destroyed over this, it's just so so terrible. I also,
- 14:37Speaker 1: and we've already done this. We want no mercury in
- 14:41Speaker 1: the vaccine. We want no aluminum in the vaccine. The
- 14:45Speaker 1: MMR I think should be taken separately. This is based
- 14:48Speaker 1: on what I feel the mumps, measles, and all the
- 14:57Speaker 1: three should be taken separately. And it seems to be
- 15:02Speaker 1: that when you mix them there could be a problem,
- 15:04Speaker 1: so there's no downside in taking them separately. In fact,
- 15:09Speaker 1: they think it's better, so let it be separate. The
- 15:12Speaker 1: chicken pox is already separate because when that got mixed in,
- 15:16Speaker 1: I guess they made it for for a while it
- 15:17Speaker 1: really was bad. So there's no downside in doing it.
- 15:22Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, if you do it bad things, No,
- 15:25Speaker 1: it's only good side and it may not have that
- 15:27Speaker 1: much of an impact, but it may have a big impact.
- 15:30Speaker 1: So let those be taken separately. And then hepatitis B
- 15:35Speaker 1: is sexually transmitted. There's no reason to give a baby
- 15:42Speaker 1: that's almost just born hepatitis B. So I would say,
- 15:48Speaker 1: wait till the baby is twelve years old and formed
- 15:51Speaker 1: and take hepatitis B. And I think if you do
- 15:54Speaker 1: those things, it's going to be a whole different it's
- 15:58Speaker 1: going to be a revolution in a pause of sense.
- 16:00Speaker 1: In the country, the FDA will be updating the label
- 16:04Speaker 1: of an existing drug to reflect potential benefits in reducing
- 16:08Speaker 1: some autism symptoms symptoms. This gives hope to the many
- 16:13Speaker 1: parents with autistic children that it may be possible to
- 16:16Speaker 1: improve their lives. That's one of the things that I'm
- 16:19Speaker 1: very very happy about. I mean, this was mostly going
- 16:22Speaker 1: to be on how not to have the child affect it,
- 16:27Speaker 1: but we've learned some pretty good things about certain elements
- 16:32Speaker 1: of genius that can be given to a baby, and
- 16:36Speaker 1: the baby can get better and in some cases maybe
- 16:40Speaker 1: substantially better. Not going to be easy but be a
- 16:47Speaker 1: lot easier if it didn't happen in the first place,
- 16:49Speaker 1: as these great parents fully understand, right, they fully understand.
- 16:54Speaker 1: I feel so terribly fair. I have so many friends
- 16:57Speaker 1: with autistic children. It's just a tough situation. Finally, to
- 17:02Speaker 1: help reach the ultimate goal of ending the autism fever,
- 17:05Speaker 1: the NIH will be announcing thirteen major grant awards from
- 17:08Speaker 1: the Autism Data Science Initiatives. Then, to be honest with you,
- 17:13Speaker 1: to me, that's the least important. It's not even a
- 17:15Speaker 1: money thing at this point. There's so much money. But
- 17:18Speaker 1: they have to do and they have to move quickly.
- 17:21Speaker 1: When the alternative is that nothing bad can happen. Let's
- 17:25Speaker 1: do it now. I was just saying to Bobby and
- 17:27Speaker 1: the group, let's do it now. Nothing bad can happen.
- 17:31Speaker 1: It can only good happen. But with Thailand or don't
- 17:34Speaker 1: take it. Don't take it. And if you can't live,
- 17:39Speaker 1: if your fever is so bad, you have to take one,
- 17:41Speaker 1: because there's no alternative to that. Sadly, first question, what
- 17:46Speaker 1: can you take instead? It's actually there's not an alternative
- 17:49Speaker 1: to that. And as you know, other of the medicines
- 17:53Speaker 1: are absolutely proven bad. I mean they've been proven bad
- 17:56Speaker 1: with the aspirins and the advils and others right proven bad.
- 18:01Speaker 1: So I'd like to ask Bobby to get up to
- 18:03Speaker 1: the podium and say a few words, and then doctor
- 18:05Speaker 1: Bodicheria and doctor McCarry, doctor Oz, doctor Fink, followed by
- 18:10Speaker 1: two incredible mothers that have experienced firsthand what this country's
- 18:16Speaker 1: going through, what parts of the world are going through.
- 18:19Speaker 1: And I will say there are parts of the world
- 18:20Speaker 1: that don't take Thailand all. I mean, there's a rumor
- 18:23Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's so or not that
- 18:25Speaker 1: Cuba they don't have Tyler because they don't have the
- 18:28Speaker 1: money to fit Tyland all. And they have virtually no autism. Okay,
- 18:32Speaker 1: tell me about that one. And there are other parts
- 18:36Speaker 1: of the world where they don't have Tyland ol where
- 18:38Speaker 1: they don't have autism. That tells you a lot. And
- 18:43Speaker 1: I want to say it right now. And you know
- 18:45Speaker 1: the way I look at it, don't take it. Don't
- 18:48Speaker 1: take it. There's no downside in not taking it. So
- 18:53Speaker 1: I'd like to ask Bobby to come up and say
- 18:55Speaker 1: a few words. I hope I didn't ruin his day,
- 18:57Speaker 1: but that's the way I feel I've been very strong
- 18:59Speaker 1: in subject for a long time. You know, life is
- 19:02Speaker 1: common sense to and there's a lot of common sense
- 19:05Speaker 1: in this, and I wish things like this were brought up,
- 19:08Speaker 1: and this group has worked so hard on it. But
- 19:11Speaker 1: I'd like to be a little bit more, a little
- 19:14Speaker 1: speedier in the process of a recommendation, because there's no
- 19:17Speaker 1: harm in going quicker. There's absolutely no harm. At worst,
- 19:21Speaker 1: there's no harm. Thank you very much, Bobby, Please.
- 19:23Speaker 4: Thank you President. To meet the President's challenge, I ordered
- 19:30Speaker 4: HHS to launched unprecedented all agency effort to identify all
- 19:35Speaker 4: cause of autism, including toxic and pharmaceutical exposures. At President
- 19:42Speaker 4: Trump's urging, NIH, FDA, CDC, and CMS are turning over
- 19:48Speaker 4: every stone to identify the ideology of the autism epidemic
- 19:52Speaker 4: and how patience and parents can prevent and reverse this
- 19:56Speaker 4: alarming trend. We have broken down the traditional size that
- 20:00Speaker 4: have long separated the agencies, and we have fast tracked
- 20:04Speaker 4: research and guidance. Historically, NIH has focused almost solely on
- 20:09Speaker 4: politically to save and entirely fruitless research about the genetic
- 20:14Speaker 4: drivers of autism, and that would be like studying the
- 20:18Speaker 4: genetic drivers of lung cancer without looking at cigarettes, and
- 20:22Speaker 4: that's what NIH has been doing for twenty years. As
- 20:26Speaker 4: a result, we don't have an answer to this critical question.
- 20:30Speaker 4: Despite the cataclysmic impact of the epidemic on our nation's children,
- 20:35Speaker 4: we are now replaced that we are now replacing the
- 20:38Speaker 4: institutional culture of politicized science and corruption with evidence based medicine.
- 20:44Speaker 4: NIH research teams are currently testing multiple hypotheses with no
- 20:49Speaker 4: area off limits. We promise transparency as we uncover the
- 20:53Speaker 4: potential causes and treatments, and we will notify the public
- 20:58Speaker 4: regularly of our progress. Today, we are announcing two important
- 21:02Speaker 4: findings from our autism work that are vital for parents
- 21:05Speaker 4: to know as they make these decisions. First, AHHS will
- 21:09Speaker 4: act on acet of metaphine. The FDA is responding to
- 21:13Speaker 4: clinical and laboratory studies. It suggests a potential association between
- 21:19Speaker 4: a cinemataphin used during pregnancy and advertise ner developmental outcomes,
- 21:25Speaker 4: including later diagnosis for ADHD and autism. Scientists are proposed
- 21:32Speaker 4: biological mechanisms linking prenatal acida medicine exposure to altered brain development.
- 21:39Speaker 4: We have also evaluated the contrary studies that show no
- 21:42Speaker 4: association to the FDA will issue physician's notice about the
- 21:47Speaker 4: risk of acet of metaphine during pregnancy and begin the
- 21:51Speaker 4: process to initiate a safety label change. AHHS will launch
- 21:56Speaker 4: a nationwide public service campaign to inform families and protect
- 22:00Speaker 4: public health. FDA also recognized that a set of metaphine
- 22:04Speaker 4: is often the only tool for fevers in pain in pregnancy,
- 22:09Speaker 4: as other alternatives have well documented adverse effects. HHS once
- 22:15Speaker 4: therefore to encourage clinicians to exercise their best judgment and
- 22:20Speaker 4: the use of a metaphine for fevers and pain and
- 22:23Speaker 4: pregnancy by prescribing the lowest effective to use the short
- 22:28Speaker 4: is necessary to duration and only when treatment is required. Furthermore,
- 22:34Speaker 4: thanks to also to the politicization of science, the safety
- 22:39Speaker 4: of a cent of metaphine against the risk of neurodevelopmental
- 22:42Speaker 4: disorders in young children has never been validated. Prudent medicine
- 22:47Speaker 4: therefore suggests caution a set of metaphine use young children,
- 22:53Speaker 4: especially in strong evidence also has associated it with liver toxicity.
- 23:00Speaker 4: Some stead he has also found the use of a
- 23:02Speaker 4: set of metaphant and children can potentially prolong viral illnesses.
- 23:08Speaker 4: FDA will drive new research to safeguard mothers, children and families.
- 23:13Speaker 4: In addition to a possible set of men connection to
- 23:17Speaker 4: autism for pregnant women, infants in toddlers, our research has
- 23:21Speaker 4: revealed that folate deficiency in a child's brain can lead
- 23:26Speaker 4: to autism. We have also identified an exciting therapy that
- 23:30Speaker 4: may benefit large numbers of children who suffer from autism.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Beer reviewed literature has documented that up to sixty percent
- 23:37Speaker 4: of fol late deficient children with ASD and have improve
- 23:42Speaker 4: verbal communications if given. Luca orren I have instructed nih
- 23:47Speaker 4: FDA and CMS helped doctors who treat children appropriately. JA
- 23:52Speaker 4: will help tell that story which started with sound science,
- 23:56Speaker 4: the kind that restores faith and the announcement of this
- 24:02Speaker 4: announcement also represents the historic collaboration between nih f the
- 24:07Speaker 4: a CDC, and CMS. We expect to be this to
- 24:11Speaker 4: be the first and many announcements over the coming years
- 24:14Speaker 4: that deliver actual information to parents on underlying cause of
- 24:19Speaker 4: autism and the potential paths for prevention and reversal. Finally,
- 24:25Speaker 4: autism is a complex disorder with multifactorial eteology. We are
- 24:30Speaker 4: continuing to investigate a multiplicity potential causes with no areas
- 24:35Speaker 4: of taboo. One area that we are closely examining, as
- 24:40Speaker 4: the President is vaccines. Some forty to seventy percent of
- 24:45Speaker 4: mothers who have children with autism believe that their child
- 24:50Speaker 4: was injured by a vaccine. President Trump believes that we
- 24:54Speaker 4: should be listening to these mothers instead of gas lighting
- 24:58Speaker 4: and marginalize them, marchzing them like prior administrations. Some of
- 25:03Speaker 4: our friends like to say, we should believe all women.
- 25:07Speaker 4: Some of the same people have been silencing and demonizing
- 25:11Speaker 4: these mothers for three decades because research on the potential
- 25:16Speaker 4: link between autism and vaccines has been actively suppressed in
- 25:21Speaker 4: the past. It will take time for an honest look
- 25:24Speaker 4: at this topic. Scientists and I want to reassure the
- 25:28Speaker 4: people in the autism community, and we will be uncompromising
- 25:32Speaker 4: and relentless in our search for answers. We will perform
- 25:36Speaker 4: the studies that should have been performed twenty five years ago.
- 25:40Speaker 4: Whatever the answer is, we will tell you what we find.
- 25:44Speaker 4: We are researching this issue to all three agencies. Jay
- 25:47Speaker 4: will discuss one of our research initiatives at my age.
- 25:51Speaker 4: This model of unbiased, deep politicized gold standard scientific research
- 25:57Speaker 4: and academic freedom deliver actionable information to prevent and reverse
- 26:02Speaker 4: disease will be a model for the framework to deliver
- 26:07Speaker 4: similar results from any other chronic conditions that plague Americans.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Obviously, this is a much longer show than we normally do,
- 26:16Speaker 3: but I want to make sure you could hear directly
- 26:18Speaker 3: from the President RFK Junior in their entirety of what
- 26:21Speaker 3: they had to say on a very important issue. One
- 26:23Speaker 3: thing that I also want you to look at is this,
- 26:26Speaker 3: isn't it great to have this type of transparency back
- 26:29Speaker 3: in our government at a place that used to be
- 26:32Speaker 3: so secretive and when there was a guy by the
- 26:34Speaker 3: name of Anthony Fauci it was running all of this.
- 26:38Speaker 3: Now we have real transparency and you have to give
- 26:41Speaker 3: thanks to the President for that.
