In remarks laced with scientific inaccuracies, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, said on Wednesday that autism was preventable while directly contradicting researchers within his own agency on a primary driver behind rising rates of the condition in young children.
Where did he get his relevant PhD from again?
Ah, so even worse than “Cracker jack box”.
The DeVry University of Nepotism.
He got his relevant business model based on vaccine public panic and autism nonederstanding is what really matters here.
Rfk is preventable, as the cia proved in 1963
1968?
He’s referring to JFK, who was assassinated in 1963.
It makes more sense to refer to RFK Sr. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in 1968.
Someone please shut this stupid grifter up.
Who cares anymore? This man is unfit to hold the position. I’d rather focus on us IMMEDIATELY removing this administration whatever means necessary, than highlighting the latest nonsense of RFK, outburst of Trump/Musk, or stupidity of Vance
“Autism is preventable”- says the guy with a brain worm.
People like RFK are preventable.
Happy Autism Awareness month I guess
Fuckin brain worm Bobby
You hear that Elon? No, excuse you shit bag!
This is the Republican modus operandi:

The FOIA staff got DOGEd real early on. They were one of the first people to get it.

Don’t want to kill your vibe, but in my country if you submit some request it will go from submitted, to received, to under review, to reviewed, to taken under consideration, to addressed, to being dealt with, to dealt with, to finished considering, to completed with the first few days and then you hear nothing for weeks or months and suddenly you get a letter with a decision (or the thing you applied for or a written decline or whatever). You end up getting something here and I hope you will too, but those status updates never seem to say much lol
Dude dried to chainsaw a rotting whale head to take home with him.
I believe the clinical term is “A stack of bricks short of a stack of bricks.”

Don’t you love how a commitment to telling the truth has become a neurological disorder in our society?

Why not just say the n-word instead? He sucks, right. So call him a n****r. Pick your favorite slur.
Maybe, just maybe, we can find a way to insult mother fuckers without attacking other groups? Hmm?
As a mother fucker, could you find a different term to avoid offending me please
A nutter?
a Nacho chip double dipper
“People who annoy you”
Asshole.
I mean everybody has one but not everybody is one.
No but I don’t want mine to be associated with him, also assholes are quite useful so
A Nagger
I mean… Trump said there wouldn’t be positive COVID tests if we didn’t test, so maybe RFK is going to borrow that method of preventing autism by not testing and documenting.
This is the dumbest circus show ever.
You know why autism rates have “increased”?
Because we understand a lot more about the condition now, and are a whole fucking lot better at determining whether a person may be on the spectrum or not - a “spectrum” that, I should add, is a whole fucking lot more nuanced and less binary than the “he’s a good worker” vs “let’s hold Timmy back a couple grades” dichotomy that you would have seen up through the late 90s and early 2000s.
and its also genetic, and not organically caused by chemicals.
By some estimates, 20% of the population is expected to be neurodivergent in one way or another. Autism and ADHD are wildly underdiagnosed to this day. Especially for AFAB people.
Also because preventative factors like obesity, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, etc are strongly linked to having an autistic child
Sure. But the fact remains that autism prevalence in the general population probably looks a lot like the graph about left-handedness of the population throughout the 1900s - that is, logistic growth: growing, but settling towards a relatively steady percentage of the population. Btw, if anyone has a graph of that handy, please post it.
This man will kill millions of people.
