Are Pregnant Women Being Told the Truth about Antidepressants?

Across the world, thousands of pregnant women are being prescribed antidepressants. Yet few are warned about the potential harms to their unborn babies.

That concern came to the forefront at a 2-hour expert panel convened last month by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), moderated by Dr Tracy Beth Høeg, the agency’s senior adviser for clinical sciences.

A lineup of doctors, scientists, and former regulators gathered to examine a thorny question: do selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) cause more harm than good when used during pregnancy?

Their opinions were not unanimous, but all agreed on one striking fact—there are no “gold-standard” randomised trials that have addressed the issue.

Instead of sparking serious debate, the panel was savaged by the media. The ferocity of the reaction only highlighted how difficult it has become to speak honestly when the message challenges psychiatric drugs.

RFK Jr: “We were lied to about everything”

In a Twitter (now X) thread, Children’s Health Defense picked out some highlights of ‘The President’s 2026 Health Care Agenda’ hearing held on 4 September 2024.  We have republished the thread below. 

You can watch the full Senate hearing on YouTube HERE and read the written statement submitted by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. HERE.

RFK Jr.’s Senate testimony just broke the Internet: “We were lied to about everything.”

By Children’s Health Defense

Kennedy spent three hours exposing the truth about vaccines and autism, the CDC’s cover-up of vaccine injuries and why Trump just fired corrupt CDC leadership.  And he named names – he called out corrupt Senators to their faces for taking Pharma money.

First, RFK Jr. broke down the truth about Pharma’s covid-19 cover-up: “We were lied to about everything.”

Democrats accused him of “politicising” HHS – but he exposed that everything about Pharma’s covid narrative was a lie.

“The whole process was politicised.”

“We were lied to about natural immunity.”

“We were told again and again the vaccines would prevent transmission, they’d prevent infection.”

“It wasn’t true.”

“Probably the most famous scientist on ACIP was Martin Kulldorff from Harvard … and he criticised the covid booster mandates.”

“President Biden came in, he mandated it, and then he fired the two top health officials at FDA, Dr. Gruber and Dr. Krause,” for their refusal to bow to Covid orthodoxy.

Then, RFK Jr. held Senator Michael Bennet accountable for refusing to acknowledge covid-19 vaccine injuries.

“Are you saying, Senator, that the mRNA vaccine has never been associated with myocarditis or pericarditis in teenagers?”

Sen. Bennet: “I am simply trying to say that the people that you have put on that panel, after firing the entire …”

RFK: “You’re evading the question.”

HHS Will Link Autism To Tylenol Use During Pregnancy, Wall Street Journal Reports

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce that autism is linked to the use of Tylenol during pregnancy in a report expected to be released this month, The Wall Street Journal reported today.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will also likely suggest that low levels of the vitamin folate also contribute to autism. The report will propose that a form of folate called folic acid, or leucovorin, can be used to treat symptoms of the disorder, according to the WSJ.

Acetaminophen, the ingredient found in hundreds of prescription and over-the-counter medicines — including Tylenol products — is routinely recommended for fever reduction and the relief of mild to moderate pain. Pregnant women commonly take it.

The drug has long been linked to liver toxicity, and several studies over the last decade — including one published last month by researchers at Harvard Medical School — have found that children exposed to the drug during pregnancy may be more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD.

Shares of Tylenol, made by McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a division of Kenvue, declined nearly 11% Friday after the WSJ published its report.

“Nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of the people who use our products,” a Kenvue spokeswoman told the WSJ. “We have continuously evaluated the science and continue to believe there is no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism.”

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) says Tylenol is safe to use in pregnancy. In 2021, as more evidence of the link was emerging, the organization published a statement opposing a consensus statement supported by a group of 91 scientists in the journal Nature Reviews Endocrinology. The scientists said that a growing body of research suggests that prenatal exposure to the drug may alter fetal development and increase the risks of neurodevelopmental, reproductive and urogenital disorders.

“ACOG and obstetrician-gynecologists across the country have always identified acetaminophen as one of the only safe pain relievers for pregnant individuals during pregnancy,” the pharmaceutical industry-sponsored medical organization insisted.

REPORT: According to WSJ – RFK Jr. to Reveal Tylenol Use During Pregnancy and Having a Folate Deficiency Potentially Linked to Autism

Secretary Kennedy is going to release his findings on the vaccine link to autism later this month, possibly on or near September 25th.

This study has Democrats and Big Pharma very, very worried.

* * * * * * * * * *

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will reveal that Tylenol use during pregnancy and a folate deficiency may be linked to autism.

During a Cabinet meeting last week, HSS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared that his department has pinpointed “certain interventions” that are almost certainly causing autism in children.

President Trump pressed the issue head-on during the Cabinet meeting, calling the autism crisis “a tremendous horror show” devastating American families.

Kennedy stunned the room with the numbers. In 1970, he said, a massive Wisconsin study of 900,000 children found an autism rate of less than one in 10,000. Today, official numbers put autism at 1 in 31 children nationwide.

California reports that one in 19 children are diagnosed with autism.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Tylenol and having a folate deficiency are potentially linked to autism.

The Wall Street Journal reported:

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce that pregnant women’s use of an over-the-counter pain medication is potentially linked to autism in a report that will also suggest a medicine derived from folate can be used to treat symptoms of the developmental disorder in some people, people familiar with the matter said.

The report, expected this month from the Department of Health and Human Services, is likely to highlight low levels of folate, an important vitamin, and Tylenol taken during pregnancy as well as other potential causes of autism, people familiar with the matter said.

Kennedy’s department also plans to pinpoint a form of folate known as folinic acid, or leucovorin, the people said, as a way to decrease the symptoms of autism, which affected roughly one in 31 eight-year-olds in the U.S. in 2022.

Tylenol, whose active ingredient is acetaminophen, is a widely used pain reliever, including by pregnant women. Some previous studies have indicated risks to fetal development, but others have found no association. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says it is safe to use in pregnancy, though it recommends pregnant women consult with their doctors before using it, as with all medicines.

RFK Jr. vs. “The Science”: The Untold Story of Corporate Capture

The “scientist” on the left pushed COVID shots for babies, pregnant women, and backed mandates. RFK Jr. vs. “The Science”

The man on the right is trying to Make America Healthy Again.

The CDC has a corruption problem, and it’s been this way for decades.

And it all traces back to one quiet change that took place in 1983.

This information comes from the work of medical researcher A Midwestern Doctor. For all the sources and details, read the full report below.

Unmasking CDC Corruption: RFK’s Battle to Reform Public Health

RFK Jr. wants to Make America Healthy Again.

But don’t think his confirmation as HHS Secretary flipped a switch. What some people fail to realize is that he wasn’t suddenly given the power to do what he wants.

For one thing, the bureaucrats under him didn’t suddenly embrace MAHA.

In fact, the opposite happened.

And no agency has fought harder against reform than the CDC.

RFK Jr. Says CDC Ordered Scientist to DESTROY Autism Data Linking Measles Vaccine to Black Children in 2002

During a stunning Senate hearing, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that in the early 2000s, a senior CDC scientist was ordered to destroy data from an internal study that showed a staggering link between the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine and autism risk in young Black boys.

In 2004, a CDC-backed case-control study in Atlanta compared 624 children with autism to 1,824 without, assessing whether timing of MMR vaccination (before vs. after 18 or 24 months) was linked to autism risk. It found no significant association.

While the 2004 study did not find a causal link, a later re-analysis of the same data received significant attention.

A 2014 study published in Translational Neurodegeneration re-examined the CDC’s dataset and claimed to find an increased autism risk among African American boys who received the MMR vaccine before 36 months of age.

According to the 2014 study, “The present study provides new epidemiologic evidence showing that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis.”

According to RFK Jr., the findings were explosive:

“The data from that study showed that black boys who got the vaccine on time had a 260% greater chance of getting an autism diagnosis than children who waited,” Kennedy testified.

“The chief scientist on that, Dr. William Thompson, the Senior Vaccine Safety Scientist at CDC, was ordered to come into a room with four other co-authors by his boss, Frank DeStefano, who’s the head of the safety press, and ordered to destroy that data. Then they published it without that fact.”

RFK Jr Leaves Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren Redfaced When He Exposes Her Big Pharma Ties – Then RFK Jr Embarrasses Bernie Sanders When He Comes to Warren’s Defense 

After burying multiple Democratic Senators intent on trying to destroy his political career, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got his chance to dunk on arguably the most notorious Senators in America. As expected, he did not disappoint.

As NBC News reported, Kennedy appeared before the Senate Finance Committee to answer questions.

This comes one week after Kennedy pushed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director, Susan Monarez, to resign. The White House fired her when she refused, and three top CDC officials then resigned in protest.

The hearing got testy in a hurry after far-left, Big Pharma hack Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), when he tried to question Kennedy’s integrity by bringing up the words of the disgraced Monarez. This failed to faze Kennedy as he left Wyden completely humiliated.

Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) then got into a screaming match with Kennedy over mRNA vaccines and embarrassed himself as well.

Senators Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren (D-MA) and Comrade Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) later had their chance to interrogate Kennedy and fared no better.

Warren accused Kennedy of taking away COVID shots from those who wanted them when he changed COVID vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women back in June. They are no longer recommended to receive the shots.

Then, Kennedy exposed Warren for taking nearly $900,000 from Big Pharma. This should come as no surprise to TGP readers since Warren previously defended Big Pharma in a hearing with Kennedy earlier this year.

Having no answer, Warren doubled down on calling Kennedy a liar without evidence, which he rebutted again.

RFK Is over the Target

COVID pandemic tyrants mandated vaccination as a societal duty, lest we become disease-spreaders.  The vaccinated were supposedly protected from infection.  So how could the unvaccinated spread disease to them?

This highlights inherent deficiencies in the Germ Theory of Disease (GTOD), formulated as four postulates in the late 19th century by Robert Koch.  Koch’s postulates require the following:

  • The microorganism must be found in all individuals suffering from the disease, but not in healthy individuals.
  • The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased host and grown in pure culture.
  • The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.
  • The microorganism must be re-isolated from the experimentally infected host and identified as the same agent.

The third postulate doesn’t always hold.  Not everyone shows signs of disease during pandemics.  A person might be infected but asymptomatic.  This is simply a fact.  Those recognizing this are derided by the media/medical/pharmaceutical establishment as germ theory denialists.  Leftists believe that this is a sin second only to climate heresy.

COVID was a classic example of the GTOD’s deficits.  COVID was not an equal-opportunity killer of 1.2 million Americans and 7 million globally.  The young were mostly immune, whereas the elderly perished. 

Louis Pasteur helped develop the GTOD.  His nemesis, Antoine Béchamp, proposed the Microzymian theory: disease originates internally.  Béchamp asserted that disease is caused by changes in the body’s internal environment, not by external germs.  Microbes were a consequence, not a cause of disease.

A great deal of truth lies in his assertions.  Individuals’ nutritional status and immune function are key factors.  We saw evidence of this during COVID.  A direct relationship existed between Vitamin D levels and resistance to COVID’s intensity.  More nuanced efforts seek to bridge the divide between Béchamp’s concepts and the GTOD.

The medical industry envisioned dollar signs once the GTOD appeared.  An enemy had been identified.  The global war on microbes was on.  Children and pets are pumped with dozens of novel vaccines.  The childhood vaccine schedule is a tragic farce.  By age 18, children are scheduled to receive over 50 CDC-recommended injections.  Each provides profits to manufacturers and clinicians.  Seniors are urged to get nine vaccines.  According to RFK Jr., “50% of revenues to most pediatricians come from vaccines.”

After Big Pharma Made Trillions Pushing the Experimental Jab, Scientists Now Admit Cheap Over-the-Counter Nasal Spray May Block COVID Infection in New Peer-Reviewed Study

For years, Americans were told their only hope was to roll up their sleeves for Pfizer, Moderna, and the rest of the vaccine cartel.

Trillions of dollars flowed into their coffers while dissenting doctors were silenced, families were divided, and countless workers lost their jobs under vaccine mandates.

However, a peer-reviewed study out of Germany now shows that a cheap, decades-old nasal spray, azelastine, may do what the so-called ‘miracle’ experimental COVID jabs never accomplished: stop infection.

According to new findings published in JAMA Internal Medicine this week, all it may have taken to block infections was a $10 bottle of over-the-counter nasal spray used for seasonal allergies.

Researchers at Saarland University Hospital in Germany ran a phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial on 450 healthy adults between March 2023 and July 2024.

Participants were randomly divided into two groups:

  • 227 volunteers received azelastine nasal spray (a common antihistamine used for allergies) three times a day.
  • 223 volunteers got a placebo spray.

All participants were tested for COVID twice per week for nearly two months.

The difference was undeniable:

  • Infections in the placebo group: 15 out of 223 people (6.7%) caught COVID.
  • Infections in the azelastine group: Only 5 out of 227 people (2.2%) got infected.

That’s a 67% reduction in risk of infection. The odds ratio came out to 0.31 (95% CI, 0.11–0.87; P = .02), meaning the nasal spray cut the likelihood of catching COVID by more than two-thirds, statistically significant.

Not only were fewer people infected, but those who did get sick had longer protection before infection (31 days on average versus 19 days in the placebo group) and shorter illness duration when measured by rapid tests (3.4 days vs 5.1 days).

The spray didn’t just block COVID. It also:

  • Cut symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections from 6.3% (placebo) down to 1.8%.
  • Reduced rhinovirus (common cold) infections from 6.3% to 1.8%.
  • Slashed the overall number of PCR-confirmed infections (COVID + other respiratory viruses) from 22% in placebo to 9.3% with azelastine.

Compare that to the COVID shots: expensive, rushed, mandated, and now known to have diminishing efficacy against new variants and side effects. The vaccines were pitched as our salvation but couldn’t stop infection or transmission.

“I Want The Answer”: Trump Demands Pfizer Prove mRNA Jabs Work

Late last month a CDC advisory committee launched a review into the “safety, effectiveness, and immunogenicity” of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as whether mRNA remains in the body longer than advertised. 

As part of the review, they will look at gaps in existing knowledge “relating to bio distribution, pharmacokinetics, and persistence of the spike protein, mRNA, and lipid nanoparticles to inform immunization recommendations,” the document states. In other words – they’ll be looking at whether the vaccine has ever worked, as well as harms it may cause. As ZeroHedge readers know, studies have found that the spike protein and mRNA in the vaccines persist for some time. 

Days after the committee was announced, the Department of Health & Human Services announced that Susan Monarez, who championed mRNA shots for COVID-19, is “no longer director of the CDC” – after she “clashed with the secretary (Kennedy) over vaccine policy,” which ultimately led to her firing.

Meanwhile at least four other CDC officials resigned on Wednesday in a massive leadership shakeup at the agency: Dr. Debra Houry, the CDC’s chief medical officer; Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases; Dr. Daniel Jernigan, the director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases; and Dr. Jennifer Layden, director of the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance and Technology.

As the leadership crisis at the CDC unfolds, President Trump issued a somewhat cryptic ‘truth’ – challenging Pfizer and other vaccine makers to make public the same ‘GREAT’ claims his administration was shown in order to justify operation Warp Speed. 

“It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree!” Trump wrote. 

“I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not???” the ‘truth’ continues. “With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW.”
