Trump, 79, Says Cuba and the Amish Have No Autism in Bonkers Speech (The Daily Beast)

President Donald Trump made a series of bizarre claims and doled out his own medical advice while making a major announcement at the White House flanked by his top health officials.

The president, 79, was slated to give remarks on Monday afternoon that the administration had found links between autism and Tylenol use by pregnant women, an announcement that some doctors were already pushing back on.

However, Trump went off-script and made a series of rambling, eyebrow-raising comments about autism, vaccines, and butchered the pronunciation of acetaminophen, best known as the brand name Tylenol.

-snip-

Trump said there was no downside to not taking Tylenol. He called it “not good” and suggested pregnant women should “tough it out” despite Tylenol being the most commonly recommended pain reliever for pregnant women for decades.

16. If The Democrats

can't come up with a commercial showing Trump trying to pronounce acetaminophen then I give up.

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. Great idea, even if they do so few will actually see it because of the way

Our media is structured, and the people who need to see it to be woken up, the people that don’t vote, almost no chance they will see it unless it’s on TikTok.

But I like the idea

[mucifer]

2. Article should have fact checked the

Weird Cuba claims

[Coldwater]

3. Studies show Amish children do experience autism.

Lower reported rates are often due to underdiagnosis, cultural differences, and limited access to healthcare, not the absence of the disorder.

24. That's the frustrating irony about this man-child. He doesn't believe in testing, really. At the same

time he feigns concern, it seems he believes that there would be no health issues if everyone just didn't get tested. He said that during Covid. So, if there's no testing -- and thus no disease -- there's no need for vaccines.

That's the way his mind works. If you deny whatever, then it never happened (like Biden's election win). He believes he won that election, which led to, and justified, the Jan. 6 insurrection. So he comfortably pardons the insurrectionists.

He. Is. Mentally. Deranged.

[Coldwater]

4. So Rain Man claims Autism doesn't exist in Cuba

Sorry Donny, wrong again

In 2013 Cuba played host to the first International Forum on Autism and Inclusion, in order to help Doctors identify the disorder in children?

[malaise]

5. Hmmmmmmmmmm - absolute bullshit

https://autismspectrumnews.org/autism-in-cuba/

Cuba has autism too. Lots of it. But do they have a similar prevalence rate as the US, or other richer countries? Actually, the guesswork says no. But none of this is as yet proven. The resources needed for prevalence studies have just not been available, again, due to the blockade.

Historically, though, there really wasn’t a great, visible need for the Cubans (in particular, their overseeing entity, the Ministry of Health) to implement large resources into autism programming; until 2010-2012, when they started hearing reports of larger numbers from their schools and pediatric offices (the first group of children they started working with is now 16).

Operating out of Havana’s Borras Marfán hospital, Dr. Yoysy Rondon Acosta is the National Coordinator for Autism and other Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Working alongside Dr. Tania Adriana Péon, who heads the National Group of Child Psychiatry. they have been charged with coming up with national plans that can withstand the challenges of both the prevalence rise and the embargo/blockade. Every municipality in the country has its own health center that operates under the Ministry’s guidelines. And the result has been a framework that’s more than a little different…

7. Hey trump you asshole

How about YOU tough it out. As for us women, that’s all we do.

[Xavier Breath]

8. And autistic, Amish Cubans? Fuhgeddaboudit!

[mucifer]

9. I was listening to a local radio station news not liberal not conservative just the

five minute news at the beginning of the hour. They said the CDC now recommends pregnant women not take acetaminophen. Just like that then on to the next story.

[Volaris]

10. The amish also dont have hardly any accidental electrocutions.

By Donnie's logic, I guess that means we should just go ahead and shut down the power grids.

Somebody should tell him that he's right and Cuba doesn't have any autism...because they have universal healthcare.

[Strelnikov_]

13. 100% of autistic people drink di-hydrogen monoxide!

It's even been found in cancer cells!

What are we going to do about this scourge?!

[Volaris]

19. Brawndo! is the obvious answer.

[Lithos]

11. He heard that Cuba uses Paracetamol

And not Acetaminophen.

L-

[lark]

12. Fuck krasnov!

He hates us and is doing everything possible to make our lives more miserable!

[IronLionZion]

14. Every community has it. Some might be under diagnosed if they don't have screenings for it

[Javaman]

15. It's truly an amazing to have the worlds most powerful nation run by morons nt

[patphil]

17. Here are the stats on Autism across the world.

Yes, Amish people have children with Autism, and Cuba also has autistic children. In fact, its found everywhere in the world.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/autism-rates-by-country

https://publichealthcollaborative.org/alerts/anti-vaccine-myth-that-amish-children-dont-have-autism-resurfaces/

The strange thing is that Japan and South Korea have the highest rate of Autism in the world. Look at the map. Sometimes neighboring nations have similar rates of Autism, sometimes they're a lot different.
For example, Ireland has a much higher rate than Great Britain. I think some of this is reporting, not vaccines, or things like Tylenol.
One cause I would like to suggest for the overall rise in Autism could be micro-plastics. I think there needs to be a lot more research here.

28. Many countries have higher use of Acetaminophen than the US with lower autism rates.

?as=webp

Countries with the highest acetaminophen (paracetamol) use include Denmark, Finland, Sweden, France, and the United Kingdom.

Autism rates for these countries (per 100,000):
United States 1050
Sweden 953
Denmark 892
Belgium 833
France 825
Finland 764
United Kingdom 710

[allegorical oracle]

30. Yes, autism is found universally. But what commonality does every person in every nation share?

Beyond oxygen, water, sunshine, and foods, the only thing I can think of is genetics.

[pandr32]

18. The word 'bullshit' needs to go in front of 'medical' in first line.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. tRump now taking medical advice from Cuba. . . . . nt

[twodogsbarking]

21. Amish is a closed community. The women and children should be rescued, by man, not god.

[Mblaze]

22. Another litany of lies

Both the Amish and the Cubans have autistic children.

[obamanut2012]

23. Plus, fevers during the first trmester are very, very dangerous for fetal development

And mother health. Guess what Tylenol is great at?

[Heidi]

26. Long story short: Women cause autism. (nt)

[allegorical oracle]

31. Using djt's logic, then, if humans would stop reproducing, there would be no more autism.

Or any other childhood diseases.

[Heidi]

25. So show us the SCIENCE. (nt)

[Irish_Dem]

27. Trump is an evil monster and batshit crazy.

[TheFarseer]

33. Why is no one concerned that

Autism was first diagnosed before people invented Tylenol?

[Strelnikov_]

34. Woke!!!!!!

Your gettin all science'y an shit.
