If all you know about autism is what you read in the MSM, you are seriously--seriously--under-informed. (This report is somewhat better.)
For the rest?
...To begin, they badly misquoted the new HHS Secretary. For mysterious reasons that historians will surely someday study, the media completely omitted Kennedy’s shocking autism statistics from the most recent CDC and state surveys. The autism rate continues increasing relentlessly, now up to 1 in 12.5 boys in the most recent California survey, which Kennedy called “an unrelenting upward trend.” That should have been the headline.
In other words, the fussy, selective media reporting misrepresented the urgency and specificity of his argument, since the California figure was a key piece of evidence Secretary Kennedy used to challenge the official ‘diagnostic’ narrative. Not only didn’t they headline that appalling statistic —the most recent data— but they whitewashed it altogether....
...Autism ‘activists’ focus on the most lightly affected, but the HHS Secretary noted that an astonishing “25% of diagnosed children are nonverbal, non-toilet trained, and exhibit severe symptoms like headbanging and sensory sensitivities.”...
TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT. That is a very large number.
RFKjr quotes a CDC study indicating that something happened in 1989 which is the year when the autism numbers began to take off like a 747. It is, therefore, environmental, not "genetic," (albeit some minor genetics could be involved.)
So what was the 1989 Event?
RFKjr intends to find out.
