<h2 class="RxNCg ykkUm PvZ nIjPJ PMXYp LmsHF SfAHY mNgye lNbol LBPRq rBLIK ">CLAIM: Amish children do not get vaccines and do not get autism</h2>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">This is a common anti-vaccine talking point. Studies have identified and diagnosed autism in Amish children along with other conditions, according to the International Society for Autism Research (<a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://imfar.confex.com/imfar/2010/webprogram/Paper7336.html" target="_blank">INSAR</a>). Also, not all Amish families decline regular childhood vaccinations, according to a study done by <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0196655317300962?via%3Dihub" target="_blank">Science Direct</a>.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">While Autism rates indeed appear lower among Amish communities, experts say this is likely due to factors like limited healthcare access and cultural attitude leading to underreporting &#8211; not because these conditions are absent in these communities, experts say.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">In a statement to ABC News, the White House reiterated that &#8220;rates of autism among Amish children is lower than that of non-Amish children.&#8221;</p>
<h2 class="RxNCg ykkUm PvZ nIjPJ PMXYp LmsHF SfAHY mNgye lNbol LBPRq rBLIK ">CLAIM: Kids get 80 vaccines, &#8216;horse-sized&#8217; shots; some ingredients may not be safe </h2>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">It is not accurate that children get this many shots, nor is it accurate that children get an inappropriately large volume of vaccine.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Children get roughly 30 vaccine doses before the age of 18, excluding flu and COVID, according to the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pediatric vaccine <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/child-adolescent-age.html" target="_blank">recommendations</a>. In recent years, the number of additives and ingredients in vaccines has been decreasing, <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/rfk-jr-us-children-receive-92-vaccine-doses/story?id=125401242" target="_blank">doctors have explained</a>.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The implication that children&#8217;s immune systems get overwhelmed by vaccinations is not accurate, <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://www.chop.edu/sites/default/files/vaccine-education-center-too-many-vaccines.pdf" target="_blank">doctors say</a>. Children&#8217;s immune systems are exposed to many new bacteria and germs every day.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The vaccine schedule is recommended based on dosing and protecting young children at certain times in their development of their lives. Certain vaccines need to be given multiple times to build up immunity; meanwhile, certain diseases are more dangerous to younger children. Other vaccines are timed to offer community protection before children go off to school.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">In a statement to ABC News, the White House said, &#8220;The American childhood vaccine schedule calls for substantially <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/MAHA-Report-The-White-House.pdf#page=63" target="_blank">more vaccinations</a> than the vaccine schedules of comparable wealthy nations such as Denmark.&#8221;</p>
<h2 class="RxNCg ykkUm PvZ nIjPJ PMXYp LmsHF SfAHY mNgye lNbol LBPRq rBLIK ">CLAIM: Tylenol causes autism when taken during pregnancy, pregnant women should &#8216;tough it out&#8217;</h2>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">No studies in people have shown that Tylenol (acetaminophen) directly causes autism. Some studies show a possible link, other studies show no such link, but all existing studies stop short of showing cause-and-effect.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">One of the lead researchers of a major Harvard analysis showing an increased risk said in a statement, &#8220;Further research is needed to confirm the association and determine causality.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Meanwhile, fever during pregnancy is known to have serious risks, including a higher risk of stillbirth and miscarriage, <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK582757/" target="_blank">according to the National Library of Medicine</a>.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Alison Singer, president of the Autism Science Foundation, said, &#8220;No new data or scientific studies were presented or shared. No new studies have been published in the literature. No new presentations on this topic were made at scientific or medical conferences. Instead, President Trump talked about what he thinks and feels without offering scientific evidence.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;The best quality evidence does not show that acetaphetamine causes autism,&#8221; Jessica Steier, president and founder of Unbiased Science, told ABC News, &#8220;There have been dozens of studies that have investigated this.&#8221;</p>
<h2 class="RxNCg ykkUm PvZ nIjPJ PMXYp LmsHF SfAHY mNgye lNbol LBPRq rBLIK ">CLAIM: Tylenol causes autism when given to young children</h2>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">No studies have shown any link between autism and giving Tylenol to young children, despite Trump&#8217;s repeated assertion that young children should not receive Tylenol. One large <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34046850/" target="_blank">analysis</a> of multiple studies found no link between giving acetaminophen after birth and autism or ADHD in children.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Steier said that at this point, there is no evidence of any causal link between acetaminophen use in kids and autism.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;Genetics plays the largest role in autism likelihood, followed by environmental factors during pregnancy, and parental age,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It is unlikely that factors after birth have a significant impact on autism likelihood.&#8221;</p>
<h2 class="RxNCg ykkUm PvZ nIjPJ PMXYp LmsHF SfAHY mNgye lNbol LBPRq rBLIK ">CLAIM: There is &#8216;no reason&#8217; to vaccinate newborns against hepatitis B </h2>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">During Monday&#8217;s presser, Trump suggested there should be major changes to the current recommendation of vaccinating all newborns against hepatitis B, explaining that it is a sexually transmitted disease.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">He said, &#8220;I would say, wait until the baby is 12 years old and formed.&#8221;</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">In a statement to ABC News, the White House said, &#8220;Babies born to mothers who do not have HepB do not receive any immediate health benefits from HepB vaccination upon birth.&#8221;But experts refute that characterization.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;Pediatricians know firsthand that children&#8217;s immune systems perform better after vaccination against serious, contagious diseases like polio, measles, whooping cough and Hepatitis B. Spacing out or delaying vaccines means children will not have immunity against these diseases at times when they are most at risk,&#8221; Dr. Susan Kressly, the president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said in a statement.</p>
