"Don't take Tylenol. Don't take it. Fight like hell not to take it." Pregnant women were told to "tough it out."

The evidence: The largest study on record — 2.48 million children, sibling-controlled — found no causal link to autism, and the obstetricians note untreated high fever in pregnancy is itself the risk. §

Doctors were getting "very, very good results" treating measles with "budesonide, which is a steroid… clarithromycin and also cod liver oil" — recoveries he called "almost miraculous and instantaneous." The vaccine: "a personal choice."

The evidence: Neither drug treats measles. Within weeks, a Lubbock children's hospital reported unvaccinated children hospitalized with measles who also showed vitamin A toxicity from dosing at home. §

"I'm going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs… to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall" — three or four years growing organic food. As a nominee he testified his family had "a much worse time getting off of SSRIs than people have getting off of heroin."

The 2026 prescription: fewer childhood vaccines. The CDC cut the universally recommended list from 17 diseases to 11 — hepatitis B, rotavirus, flu, hepatitis A and meningococcal demoted to "shared clinical decision-making" — on the strength of a 33-page comparison to Denmark.

The evidence: No new safety data and no advisory-committee review were cited. The pediatricians' and obstetricians' societies kept the full schedule; California, New York and Illinois kept the old one. §
