U.S. autism data project sparks uproar over ethics, privacy and intent

“Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, repeatedly said before taking office that vaccines cause autism, despite overwhelming scientific evidence that they do not. He has declined to disavow his statements and has continued to promote a possible link.”

Having worked directly with autism researchers, I can confidently tell you that RFK is making a wild guess not based in current evidence. All the data we have indicate autism is a multifactorial condition with a genetic/developmental component that may or may not be affected by the environment.

RFK is genuinely a danger to health care in the United States.

Calling it a "guess" seems very generous at this point, saying it is a "lie" is more accurate I think.

Never attribute to malice what cannot be adequately explained by stupidity. And he is one stupid fuck.
