The United States government will identify the cause of autism by September this year, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Thursday.
“At your direction, we are going to know by September. We’ve launched a massive testing and research effort that’s going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world,” Kennedy said at a meeting of President Donald Trump’s cabinet.
OMG I’ve been waiting for this. The cause will be …
Obama.
Thanks, Obama!
This comment is to remind everyone that Trump sent a man to prison in El Salvador for having an autism awareness tattoo
Well he does have a tattoo in honor of the actual cause of the autism epidemic /s
But no seriously its horrifying and if you arent pissed that’s a problem
Taking all bets on predictions!
I am putting myself down for “micro plastics.”
He’s og crazy, it’ll be vaccines.
No way. The oil bros would be real unhappy about that, because it means that they might have to be accountable for anything at some point ever. It’s going to be something fucking stupid.
I’m going to go with a darkhorse candidate and say Market Regulations.
I am betting it’s gonna be immigration by non-white genes or something alone those Nazi lines.
Blaming microplastics might actually lead to good legislation so it won’t be that.
Vaccines. Hands down. He basically started with that notion.
I’m splitting my bets between non dairy milks and vegan cheese.
What about pasteurized milks? Pretty sure he’s big on raw milk.
And solar panels, wind turbines, masks and a diet that doesnt contain enough measles or roadkill parasites.
It’s brain worms
We WILL find the cause of this imaginary problem!
Kennedy has long promoted a debunked link between vaccines and autism despite scientific evidence to the contrary.
“We’re going to look at vaccines,” Kennedy later told Fox News.
Fixed. He’ll just blame it on vaccines.
The Master will fix autism within two weeks of that monumental date in September!!!
Mr. Kennedy shot back at Mr. Cassidy, citing a study from an ecosystem of vaccine critics that he said proved a connection between vaccines and autism.
This sentence says it all. Even if the study said the opposite, it still wouldn’t “prove” anything. That’s not how science works.
The “problem” conservatives are looking for to is just wider awareness of the diagnosis’ existence.
Innumerable people just dropped dead because of diabetes and cancer before we knew about diabetes and cancer, and more still until testing became accessible to most.
Conservative’s solution to anything though is “lalala not listening so shut up!” just like Reagan with aids or conservatives calling Covid Masks tyranny.
Even if he has to make it up.
Let me guess: DEI.
There’s no useful purpose reporting these delusional proclamations. Boosting the narratives of power-addled nazis is detrimental to society.
It is a useful reminder that people with autism are in danger with this regime in power. And anyone who needs vaccinations (everyone).
“narratives”… smh
Curious to see how this plays out since there is no such epidemic.
I’ve no doubt he’ll find a way to blame vaccines, flouride, whatever environmental substance… 🙄 🙄
Kennedy Turns to a Discredited Vaccine Skeptic for Autism Study
David Geier has been hired as a senior data analyst at H.H.S. According to several people, he will examine any potential links between vaccines and autism that were debunked long ago.

Fucking hell, Mark Geier’s son? The brain worms did a number on RFK, that’s pure idiocy.
Ken Nahigian
Katie Miller
Garbage grifters.
There is an drastic increase in autism cases, the cause is “increased testing for autism”.
There is no testing and research effort planned at the NIH of this scale. I’m betting this is fantasy, or he will outsource to the same scientists who work for RJ Reynolds to “prove” smoking is healthy.
Trump in February ordered the creation of a “Make America Healthy Again” Commission made up of Kennedy and other secretaries to look at everything from the rates of autism and asthma in children to how much medicine is being prescribed to them for ADHD or other conditions.
Secretary Brainworms and the DSM-5 table of contents administration are going to take a break from their ketamine amphetamine modafinil ozempic etc. regimens to fix all the rest of us, how lovely /s
I’m honestly surprised they haven’t started talking about “curing” homosexuality yet
