Robert Kennedy, Jr. is doing a magnificent job heading up Health and Human Services.
Now, it is imperative that we must all have his back as the knives are coming out for him before the release of his autism report later this month!
For years now Robert Kennedy, Jr. has spoken out about the massive number of children diagnosed with autism in the US today compared to when he was a child in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
During a high-stakes Cabinet meeting in August, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared that his department has pinpointed “certain interventions” that are almost certainly causing autism in children — with a full public announcement expected in September.
President Trump pressed the issue head-on during the meeting, calling the autism crisis “a tremendous horror show” devastating American families.
Trump:
Bobby, autism is such a tremendous horror show, what’s happening in our country and some other countries, but mostly our country. How are you doing on that?RFK Jr:
We are doing very well. We will have announcements as promised in September. We’re finding certain interventions now that are clearly, almost certainly, causing autism. We’re going to be able to address those in September.
Kennedy stunned the room with the numbers. In 1970, he said, a massive Wisconsin study of 900,000 children found an autism rate of less than one in 10,000. Today, official numbers put autism at 1 in 31 children nationwide. But the real picture may be far worse.
California, with its detailed reporting system, shows one in 19 children diagnosed and an astonishing one in 12.5 boys.
RFK Jr: In 1970, the biggest epidemiological study in history was done in Wisconsin. They looked at 900,000 children, and they were looking for autism. They knew what it looked like, and they were very, very precise about it. They found an incidence rate of 0.7—in other words, less than one for every 10,000 children.
