Trump Just Put Moms Over Big Pharma… And The Media Hates It!

For decades, families have begged for answers as autism rates in the United States have skyrocketed. Politicians promised to care, promised to investigate, promised to prioritize children. And yet, time and again, they failed to act. That all changed this week.

President Donald Trump, joined by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., announced a sweeping Autism Action Plan that directly confronts the soaring rates of autism in America. And make no mistake: this is yet another example of promises made, promises kept.

What makes this moment different is that the White House is finally asking the questions the medical establishment has ignored for years. They’re taking seriously the growing body of research suggesting that acetaminophen, better known as Tylenol, when used during pregnancy, may increase the risk of autism and ADHD. These aren’t fringe claims, either. They come from elite institutions. A Johns Hopkins study of umbilical cord blood found newborns with the highest exposure were nearly three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism or ADHD. A Harvard study confirmed that prenatal acetaminophen use correlates with higher risks of neurodevelopmental disorders. And Andrea Baccarelli, Dean at Harvard School of Public Health, said it plainly: “We found evidence of an association between exposure to acetaminophen during pregnancy and increased incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders in children.”

It’s not just about prevention, though. The plan brings hope for treatment too. The FDA is finally updating guidance so doctors can use Leucovorin, a form of folic acid, to treat Cerebral Folate Deficiency, which is linked to severe autism symptoms. Studies show that 85% of patients improve, especially in speech and communication. That’s not abstract policy, that’s real progress that could change real lives.

And then there’s the research component. The NIH is launching a $50 million Autism Data Science Initiative, funding 13 projects to study how toxins, a mother’s diet, and prenatal conditions intersect with biology. For once, the government is looking at the whole picture instead of pretending the rise in autism is just some mysterious, unchangeable trend.

Of course, Big Pharma isn’t happy. Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol, called the announcement “deeply concerning.” A coalition of establishment scientists rushed to declare the initiative “irresponsible.” But for families who have been dismissed, ignored, and gaslit for decades, this is a breakthrough.

Trump also took the opportunity to speak plainly about vaccines, voicing what millions of parents have long suspected but never heard from their leaders. He said vaccines should be spread out, that there should be no mercury or aluminum in them, and that the MMR shot should be taken separately instead of combined. Whether you agree or not, it matters that these concerns are finally being acknowledged at the highest levels of government. Secretary Kennedy drove that point home: “Some 40-70% of mothers who have children with autism believe that their child was injured by a vaccine. President Trump believes we should be listening to these mothers instead of gaslighting them.”

Autism rates have surged nearly 400% since the 1990s, now affecting 1 in 31 children. And yet until now, the medical industrial complex has stood by, complacent, offering no answers and no urgency. That’s why this plan is such a turning point. Finally, a president is saying: let’s follow the evidence. Let’s fund the research. Let’s hear from the parents.

This is about healing our bodies, protecting our kids, and seeking the truth—not about protecting corporate profits. For every family struggling with unanswered questions, this is a reason for hope. A reason to believe that the most powerful leaders in the world are finally on their side. Promises made, promises kept. Again!
