There is no question that RFK, Jr. is making some major waves in the medical establishment.
But nobody saw this wave coming.
Because RFK, Jr. just made one autism announcement that has the entire world shaking with anticipation.
Last week, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. boldly declared he will have an answer within five months to the question: What has caused the massive spike in autism?
We will know what has caused the autism epidemic
“By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic, and we’ll be able to eliminate those exposures,” Kennedy said during a televised meeting of President Donald Trump’s cabinet.
There is no question that the increase in autism diagnosis has been staggering over the past decades.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, between 2000 and 2020 alone, the autism rate among children has increased from 1 in 150 to 1 in 36.
At last week’s cabinet meeting, Kennedy, who is 71, said the rate is now 1 in 31, compared to “1 in 10,000 when I was a kid.”
“We’ve launched a massive testing and research effort that’s going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world,” Kennedy said.
Trump welcomed the bold prediction from his one-time rival for the presidency.
“There’s got to be something artificial out there that’s doing this,” he said. “So you think you’re going to have a pretty good idea?” he asked.
“We will know by September,” Kennedy repeated steadfastly.
“There will be no bigger news conference than that,” Trump said. “If you can come up with that answer, where, you stop taking something, you stop eating something, or maybe it’s a shot. But something’s causing it.”
One explanation for the huge increase involves changes in how a diagnosis of autism is reached.
A big change in diagnosing autism 30 years ago
The Associated Press, while reporting on RFK’s prediction, noted that, “For decades, the diagnosis was given only to kids with severe problems communicating or socializing and those with unusual, repetitive behaviors. But around 30 years ago, the term became shorthand for a group of milder, related conditions known as ‘autism spectrum disorders.’ Milder autism cases are far more common than severe ones.”
The “autism spectrum” now includes successful individuals like Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, and a top adviser to Trump running DOGE, who has publicly stated he has Asperger’s syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum.
But even with the change in diagnosis, the increase in autism has been a topic of concern for decades.
In 1998, the British medical journal The Lancet published a study stating that the combined vaccination for measles, mumps, and rubella was a cause of increased autism occurrence.
But 12 years later, the publication withdrew that report for unknown reasons.
But according to a 2010 ABC News report on the study, the United Kingdom’s General Medical Council found that the chief researcher in the study was “guilty of acting unethically during the time he conducted the famous case report of 12 children that questioned if a childhood vaccine caused a new form of autism.”
Kennedy has an established record as a skeptic of the medical establishment.
He is a well-known skeptic of many vaccination procedures, including the COVID-19 vaccine, and is an outspoken critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
In 2021, Kennedy even published a book titled The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.
Kennedy has vowed to use his position at the helm of HHS to study many “formerly taboo” medical and health questions, including childhood vaccine schedules.
