I need to amend my understanding and position on RFK Jr's comment about knowing the cause of Autism by September. I see that he made it during Trump's insane N. Korean type cabinet meeting. This is where each of the cabinet people and Musk lie to Trump's face to flatter him and impress him.
Therefore, RFK Jr was just talking out of his azz and there will be no September finding.
I am curious what definition of “the powerful” you have that excludes the Kennedy heir with a cabinet position.
Kennedy has a net worth of @ $10 million and has spent his career challenging the powerful billionaires (except on Palestine, of course). He is not a billionaire oligarch. Notice how the Oligarch owned MSM has repeatedly smeared him.
RFK Jr made a good portion of his wealth from referral fees from law firms that sue big pharmaceutical and government agencies. He also has a financial stake in law firms that sue big pharmaceutical.
Now he can fire CDC experts that would be able to debunk his theories and can author studies that solidify any cases he wants to win.
If you think he is a grass roots whistleblower type guy innocently seeking out better health for Americas you are lost without help.
This explosion in autism has gone on for 4 decades. There is a clear and undeniable correlation with the increase in childhood vaccines given in America and this explosion. We are supposed to believe that nobody can determine the cause of this increase -- but we can rule out vaccines. And get hit with the correlation is not causation mantra.
There has been an increase in internet for 4 decades There has been an increase in air travel for 4 decades There has been an increase in cell phones for 4 decades There has been an increase in boba tea for 4 decades There has been an increase in Donald Trump engagement for 4 decades Do they all cause autism?

Liz Warren talking points that are laughable. People being funded by Big Pharma are legit -- but those taking them on are grifters. I didn't know anyone actually fell for this.
Let's just stay in the dark about causes of autism. Scary that it is being looked into

Don’t care if it’s “proper” or not. If Trump wants it then it should be done. It’s that simple
I am curious what definition of “the powerful” you have that excludes the Kennedy heir with a cabinet position.

Did he spend all his immense inherited wealth on heroin? He’s a Kennedy! A second-generation Cabinet member! Pretending he hasn’t been powerful for his entire adult life is laughable.
And he hasn’t so much been “smeared” as “occasionally criticized when his insane beliefs kill children”.
Why is everyone downvoting this? They don't want to know. I bet the cause is already known but we are not being told. Which means the powerful don't want it know. Clearly it's environmental.
Maybe because of the association with an idiotic tweet from Trump from 2014 included in the post? Just a hunch. Answers abound
I’m guessing this will be like the releasing of the JFK/MLK files. Inasmuch that there will be no new revelations and nutters will use it to blame their scapegoat (Jews, vaccines, etc)
What is clear or at least clear to me is that something is happening before age five and even before age 3 that is resulting in more autism diagnoses.
Why is that clear to you? Have you studied children with autism? Have you read studies on the topic? Could you provide some more info about that?
My post was made prior to my morning coffee. I apologize for not being clear. Let me try again by stating the inferred premise that I should have stated up front in my previous post.
I don't see how we can get a definitive answer to the autism question... period.
- Autism DIAGNOSES have increased from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 34 in the past 40 years, according to RFK Jr. That's a 2,841% increase.
- According to the CDC, the majority (60-70%) of diagnoses are made by age 6.
- There have been no double blind clinical long term trials to determine if the MMR or the schedule of vaccines causes autism. Conversely, no such trials have been done to disprove this premise. No such trials will ever done because it would be unethical to withhold vaccines from the thousands of children that would be necessary for such a clinical trial.
How can we possibly have a definitive answer by September?
Still, something has to be causing this massive increase in autism diagnoses. It could be any of the following.
Possible causes:
Dietary changes
Food additives
Environmental (Household chemicals, pesticides, air pollution, chemicals in soaps, lotions, shampoo... the list is massive)
A childhood vaccine
The vaccine schedule.
Changes in diagnosis criteria and/or awareness of autism by diagnosing physicians.
I don't see how a cause can be identified by September with a high degree of accuracy. That said, I'm curious to hear the NIH's findings in September and have a chance to look at the data myself.

What a brilliant idea! The government should decree that it will find the answer to what causes autism in 5 months and of course it will happen. Next, RFK Jr should decree that the government will discover a cure for cancer in 6 months and it will happen. All you need is a government decree, fire a bunch of people, and cut research funding, and voila! Brilliant!

Let's be hopeful. I suspect that the cause/causes are already known. It's been exploding for decades. Hard to believe nobody has found the cause

Unless rfk has quietly been leading some landmark study for years there is no way he is going to come out with “the cause” of autism by September. It takes a long time to do research like that. Plus all the funding for our medical research has been cut off. can’t wait to see what he comes up with. more likely the cause for autism is multi factorial and there is not a singular cause for autism. It’s already seen as a component for other known genetic syndromes and there are also some known autism genes. similarly, we don’t know “the cause” for schizophrenia. But we have found that 22q11 deletion syndrome has high association with development of schizophrenia. But not all schizophrenics have 22q.
rfk is an idiot and shouldn’t be anywhere near public health.

He inherited $4 million.
That's immense?
Regardless of the amount, the money RFK Jr. he inherited from the trust had to be split between him and his 10 siblings. Knowing this, Bobby Jr. himself was left at the time of inheritance with $4 million dollars in assets.

The old he's an idiot argument so popular on Letsrun.
"..more likely the cause for autism is multi factorial and there is not a singular cause for autism." So why is it so bad to find the cause or causes.
It's crazy to be so against looking for the cause/causes.
