On His First Day In Office, RFK Jr. Launches Autism Investigation

In one of his first big moves since being confirmed as HHS Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has just launched an investigation into the cause of autism.

RFK Jr. has repeatedly promised to get to the bottom of why autism rates have absolutely boomed in the past 30 years in the United States.

Now, he’s going to lead the charge to find out exactly what’s causing autism in children, in the first real investigation, probably ever, meant to actually find out the true, unbiased cause.

This is absolutely groundbreaking.

Check it out:

Along with investigating the root cause of autism, RFK Jr.’s new Make America Healthy Again commission will also look into the causes of other childhood and adult chronic diseases, like asthma.

Fox News confirmed:

Kennedy was confirmed as the nation’s leader of the U.S. Health and Human Services on Thursday and was expected to be sworn in later in the afternoon. His commission will work to “restore trust in medical and scientific institutions and hold public hearings, meetings, roundtables” to receive input from health leaders.

The commission, Fox Digital learned, will focus on four policy directives to reverse chronic disease, including providing Americans transparency on health data to “avoid conflicts of interest in all federally funded health research;” prioritizing “gold-standard research on why Americans are getting sick” in all federally-funded health research; working with farmers to ensure food is healthy, as well as affordable; and expanding health coverage and treatment options “for beneficial lifestyle changes and disease prevention.”

The commission initially will focus on childhood chronic diseases, such as autism and fatty liver disease, and also investigate adult chronic diseases, such as asthma and the U.S. average life expectancy compared to other nations.

Within 100 days of the commission’s founding, it is expected to publish “an assessment that summarizes what is known and what questions remain regarding the childhood chronic disease crisis, and include international comparisons.” Within 180 days, it is expected to “produce a strategy, based on the findings of the assessment, to improve the health of America’s children,” Fox Digital learned.

Kennedy and Trump vowed on the campaign trail to “Make America Healthy Again,” including directing their focus on autism among youths in recent years. The commission will investigate chronic conditions for both adults and children, including those related to autism, which the White House said affects one in 36 children.

This is one of the reasons President Trump picked RFK Jr. as HHS in the first place.

Remember this post?

Here’s a very relevant chart on the rates of autism between 1960-2020:

So, RFK Jr. is going to lead an investigation into the cause of autism — an incredibly debilitating disorder.

That’s 100% a good thing, right?

Once we find the source, we can find out how to cure it or prevent it altogether.

Many folks are completely on board with this:

It’s just common sense to investigate why so many kids are autistic these days compared to just 30 years ago.

And yet, RFK Jr. is still experiencing a lot of pushback on this, primarily from folks who claim that vaccines definitely do not cause autism.

You have people like this criticizing RFK Jr’s efforts:

To those who are critical, I have to say: Why so defensive? If childhood vaccines don’t cause autism, then let’s find out what really does, right?

A full investigation into every potential cause of autism shouldn’t give anyone anything to worry about.

Unless, you know, it’s not about finding the truth and protecting our children, but rather about protecting a certain industry…

 

I think Joel Berry makes a great point here:

Stay tuned.

I have a feeling RFK Jr. is going to have some very interesting findings to share in the coming weeks and months.
