While announcing a $50 million initiative to identify the causes of autism, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is helping lead an administration that is rolling back protections against pollution and toxic chemicals, including some linked to the condition. Here are some highlights from our story that published this morning:
* **Slashed Autism Funding:** RFK Jr. has eliminated parts of his agency actively investigating the cause of autism and has cut millions in funding for research.
* **Silent on Rollbacks:** Once an ardent environmentalist who took on big polluters, RFK Jr. has been silent on Trump’s dismantling of efforts to combat climate change and pollution.
* **Conflicting Priorities:** RFK Jr. helps lead an administration that is reversing regulations on pollution and chemicals, including some linked to autism.
*Kennedy did not respond to requests for an interview for this story.*
*An HHS spokesperson did not answer specific questions from ProPublica, including those related to the concerns of the coalition of autism scientists. “Under the leadership of Secretary Kennedy, HHS is taking action on autism as the public health emergency it is,” the spokesperson wrote. “NIH is fully committed to leaving no stone unturned in confronting this catastrophic epidemic — employing only gold-standard, evidence-based science. The Department will follow the science, wherever it leads.”*

He already knows what causes autism: democrats.
He isn’t trying to find the cause he’s trying to prove it’s vaccines.
RFK Jr is so close to figuring out that the reason is magnets. He just has to figure out how they work first.
This is like OJ trying to find the real killers
Back in April RFK Jr. promised we’d know the cause of autism by September.
I thought he was just a kook. But I guess he’s also a liar and a conman. Just like his boss.
Though to be fair he still has eleven more days. Maybe he’ll pull a few all-nighters and have it all sorted by Sept 1.
The only thing he wants to prove is that the people he hates are wrong. This isn’t motivated by a search for truth, but by a desire to be special, right and righteous, which is achieved by constructing and believing a narrative where those you dislike are lesser, wrong and immoral.
Still blows my mind that he has that job with absolutely no medical training. He’s a lawyer who did heroin for years.
„When I know all the answers, why bother to prove it?“ ~Brain worm dude.
I thought they already knew it was vaccines? /s obviously
Pain and suffering for the working class is the whole point of maga, and the majority of the working class voted for it.
Autistic humans are autistic humans down to our DNA. There are no „environmental causes“. If you find something environmental that transmutates someone’s DNA into essentially becoming an entirely different type of human, that would be groundbreaking, it would completely change the way we see the natural world. Because it’s sci-fi and probably not possible.
No need to research anything if you already know the truth. See: [https://youtu.be/FISEsdTsHwA](https://youtu.be/FISEsdTsHwA)
Autism is genetic. It is not a birth defect. What we autistics need is acceptance and accommodations, not this. It’s the road to genocide. If you are going to say, „But what about the strain on the parents?‘ just block me. I can’t be arsed with ableists any more.
Republicans hard at work moving goalposts as usual
RFK is truly a terrible person. I actually can’t think of a single person less qualified for a position ever.
As a scientist I feel embarrassed of this country.
Also before people start blaming his brain worm, he was infected with pork tapeworm Larvae, it wouldn’t do anything like this, though it can cause seizures. Don’t blame the worm for his bad decisions.
Pork tapeworms are relatively rare in America but in still prevalent in developing countries. So he probably go it while traveling
Here is a 10 min video for anyone who wants to learn about his brain worms biology from a redditors who is a big parasite nerd https://youtu.be/4ZJvUuAipZc
He said he’d figure it out by september and then backtracked on that. But he’s out here lifting with Pete Hegseth on social media so something something health
Billionaires shut it down. They want all the money we use to improve our lives so theirs are better. Ultra capitalists have taken over our government.
„Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands.”
– Former CDC Director William Foege, quoted by Stat, on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr
He doesn’t need research. His brain worm will do the work
To have a pedophile in the White House pretending to represent us.
I’m willing to bet he was bought. „Environmental“ issues are usually created by greedy corporations.
I’m totally fine with having autism
