The Highwire with Del Bigtree - THE TRUTH ABOUT RFK JR. AND TYLENOL

Episode Date: November 12, 2025

A mainstream “hit piece” targeting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for linking Tylenol to autism is backfiring. Newly uncovered internal emails reportedly show the drug’s manufacturer acknowledging concerns about prenatal Tylenol use and neurodevelopmental disorders. Now, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing major pharma companies for deceptively marketing Tylenol to pregnant mothers—and ICAN has petitioned the FDA to add pregnancy warnings to acetaminophen labels.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Well, let's talk about someone that's near and dear to this show, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Health Secretary, HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Any move he typically makes, whether it's the slightest move or whatever, he gets an onslaught of hit pieces by the corporate media, who really no one believes anymore. But they're still happening. There's a portion of the public that sees, that's the momentum guiding. So with the Tylenol move, he tried to move this space on Tylenol just a little bit with the evidence. And here's the hill. The hill throws this hit piece at him. RFK Jr. says no sufficient evidence. Tylenol definitively causes autism.

What they left out was saying they also don't have evidence that it doesn't cause autism. And so you have a, why is this hippies happening now? Well, you have the Texas AG right here, Ken Paxton. He is suing the Tylenol makers over the autism risks and the alleged deceptive marketing. So we've covered so much on this show on Tylenol for the first, this past month. And we covered the science. We covered the announcements. And why are we continuing to hammer this?

Because we have to defend these positions, because these are mild positions, and they're being built upon. They're looking at things in a way that no other administrations have ever done. So we have to defend this. So I want to go now into a new aspect of this investigation. Let's look at the internal emails. Let's look at with the companies. And let's look at Johnson & Johnson and Kenview new.

Here's a 2018 email by the head of epidemiology at Johnson & Johnson, who actually went over to Kenview at that time. And she says this, the weight of evidence is starting to feel heavy to me. They're looking at the, basically, to see if there was any benefits of acetaminifin and they went, uh-oh, we're finding there's prenatal exposure and neural developmental outcome issues. She says, it looks like there are a bunch of papers from 2016 that we somehow missed. So she's saying, we're doing this deep dive around 2018 because we're seeing this link between neural development issues when you give acetaminin, um, right. pregnant women. First of all, we missed all these papers. And the stuff I'm seeing, the weight

looks really heavy to me at this point. The director of epidemiology at this company. So let's go. I mean, I see an email like that. And after all, we've been through, I don't know where this person's career went. But you have to imagine the email gets read by the vampires and ghouls that run these companies that said, who is this person? How did she get this high up in this staff? Well, you don't ask questions like it. It looks like this girl has a heart. She actually cares about science. She's worried about studies that might have been skipped. They didn't, you know what I mean? Yeah.

Like, where do they go? Yeah, we buried them, idiot. Why are you sending this email? Do you realize this email can get out to the world? Yeah, they did not realize that. Lawsuits brought us these emails because of discovery. Right. By the way, lawsuits we cannot have on vaccines, which is one of our big beeps.

Exactly. Would you love to see the emails they know about that? But, okay, let's stay on focus on Tylenol. The same year, 2018 of that email, Johnson & Johnson does an internal slide presentation. He said, uh-oh, we need to brief everybody on this. So the summary, the last slide, the entire summary of that presentation, this is a confidential, was a confidential presentation. It says this. It says individual observational studies show a somewhat consistent association of an increased occurrence of neurodevelopmental outcomes with prenatal exposure.

Wow. That's a acetaminophen. They knew. They knew at that point. So when Ken Paxton comes out and says, we're suing you because we think you know what you did and you may have hit some stuff. And then Kenny comes out and saying, look, we can't, we don't have the same. smoking gun that this causes autism, but we have a massive amount. We have them complaining about it and doing slideshows about it inside their own company, and that's not good. But it also gets to the

heart of what do we think HHS secretaries are supposed to do? Exactly. What do we think attorney generals are supposed to do in the state of Texas? By the way, shout out to Ken Paxon. This guy has just been, you know, a warrior for medical freedom. Yeah, yeah. Fantastic. But, you know, I'm assuming now, there's deeper studies, you know, you've got to have. you're NIH, CDC, FDA, whoever, we got to start looking into this. Clearly we have signals. Clearly, they are concerned about it themselves. But while we're doing that science now, should we just let people potentially, we're leaning

in the direction it sure looks like it's causing neural development disorders. Up until Robert Kennedy Jr., the idea has been, don't tell the public. Let's do five to ten years studies and let them keep destroying potentially the lives of their children until we're sure about this. You know, and you think to yourself, you know, what happened to protecting, you know, making the right choice, like the lesser of evils. With pregnant women. With pregnant women are children, right? Instead, what they protect is the corporate good.

Right, right. You know, there's plenty of other products. Without Tylenol, the world doesn't end. No one is dying because they didn't have Tylenol. Right. And all Kennedy is saying is pregnant women need informed consent. They need to know this. You, the manufacturer, know it.

The FDA has known this. The pregnant women, the end user, needs to know this. So that's all he said. And so what we did at the Reform Consent Action Network is we wanted the ball pushed all the way over. We wanted this in black and white on the label of every single bottle that goes into the hands of a pregnant woman. We want them to have that. Whether Kennedy's in or not, we want that forever more on this product. And that's what we did.

ICANN submits petition. This was just last month to ensure we're holding FDA's feet to the fire. we trust but verify we're not going to hope we want to make them do it that the changes on this acetaminopin they have this warning label what is that this is the new changes we want this is the petition we put out there to the FDA if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as your health professional it goes on talks about if you use this product during pregnancy to treat pain or fever use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time that seems reasonable and then it goes on we want them to say on this on the label pregnant women should only take

acetaminifin if in consultation with her doctor she determines it is strictly necessary and then it talks about there is a risk of a neural developmental disorders and ADHD we have the so if you're out there right now and you're seeing this you can go to fda.gov that petition is now a citizen's petition up there you click the comment button and you can put your comment in leave your mark make FDA do this make them put this on this label let's leave this up for a second I want everyone out there in the audience you guys have been just the really the greatest audience of any show we hear over and over again how active you are. You really do something. Fill out this petition. This is one of those things. Like if you're waiting for Del Bigtree and Jeffrey Jackson

to save the world, we're only two signatures in there. That's just two signatures. Aaron's probably throwing his in there at the bottom of this thing. But in the end, if we're going to make difference, we've got to show our strength in masses. And that is what media is about. That's why we do this show so that you can take action out there and make a difference on this topic. They should get pounded. There should be millions of signatures. Thank you. Thank you.
