We won't and this sounds very ominous.

RFK Jr: "By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures."

"Up from one in ten thousand"

RFK means undiagnosed are now diagnosed

honeywallbeer.bsky.social•34 days ago

I thought they'd sacked the scientists. Who's actually going to do this finding out and how come he already knows it's due to "those exposures"?

karluchipa.bsky.social•34 days ago

But HE and HE alone already KNOWS what causes autism. He's been CLAIMING IT for years. PEOPLE have been avoiding vaccines because of HIS claims - FOR YEARS. We have MEASLES arising again BECAUSE OF HIM.

the0point.bsky.social•34 days ago

Aside from vaccines, what could it be?

Coloured pencils?

thallermo.bsky.social•34 days ago

Medical progress
The different symptoms have become more widely known over time, and patients are now being diagnosed more frequently, so they can receive help.
Autism is known since 1943
(Kanner)

When was Kennedy born?

the0point.bsky.social•34 days ago

You're a disinformation bot?

thallermo.bsky.social•34 days ago

So please feel free to believe in coloured pencils
or educate yourself

the0point.bsky.social•34 days ago

Lol

bananaintherama.bsky.social•34 days ago

Imagine completing and writing up a study in 5 months… this isn’t science.

davebrockman.bsky.social•34 days ago

He already has his conclusion and is working backwards to make data fit. It's about as far removed from scientific method as you could imagine.

bananaintherama.bsky.social•34 days ago

Exactly

elainehc.bsky.social•34 days ago

They need time to decide how they divide the blame between vaccines and working mothers.

bananaintherama.bsky.social•34 days ago

They’re going to start opening reeducation camps for neurodivergent people, mark my words.

jackjrswisher.bsky.social•34 days ago

Good fucking luck getting me to go into one of those places. I bite.

chriseldred.bsky.social•34 days ago

But _he_ will know because he already knows.

HalfHeartedFanatic.mas.to.ap.brid.gy•34 days ago

@chrischirp.bsky.social But Trump is correct, for once: it is a "terrible statistic."

anlomedad.bsky.social•34 days ago

Just a sec. After heavy rains in Canada, tyre ruboff regularly kills salmon en masse. Only investigated for salmon bc only they have economic value, but the stuff is also lethal for other species.
Now, if autism comes from this 6PPD-quinone in tyres or microplastic? We eliminate cars and plastic! 🖖

soapachu.bsky.social•34 days ago

Bye bye vaccines

dj-buzby.bsky.social•34 days ago

I shudder to think what he means. There’s nothing wrong with someone who is autistic, some of the sharpest and talented people I know are autistic. It’s not an ailment or disease, the man is a dangerous fool (just like his boss).

groinhammer.bsky.social•34 days ago

But money needs to be grifted, and faux research needs to be made to look legitimate to the credulous and unwary for 6 months first!

agendaforreform.bsky.social•34 days ago

Scientific discoveries cannot be predicted so making a claim like RFK’s clearly indicates he’ll manipulate data to support an ideological position not an evidence based one.

louknightsmccudden.bsky.social•34 days ago

The word "eliminate" will haunt people

sessiagh.bsky.social•34 days ago

And their cultists will believe him, even while unvaccinated children die of measles in Texas, or are hospitalised with vitamin A toxicity, which he has advocated as a ‘ measles treatment’

caludio.social•34 days ago

You can still come in the EU for a flu shot in the future, but we'll probably start raising the bar for admission in our countries due to the risk of accepting unvaxxed migrants. At least this one of the biggest concern when the far right tried to "stop the invasion" from other countries 😅

jaxtait.bsky.social•34 days ago

In many cases #Autism distress can be mitigated by making reasonable adjustments to the child's environment. The main problems autistic families like mine have are: people treating us as a disease that needs to be eliminated & the legacy of Asperger's fascist ideas about which of us deserve to die.

lenniethegrump.bsky.social•34 days ago

There is a quote from a UK football manager to one of his players in the 1980s after a particularly poor performance
'They shot the wrong Kennedy'
It holds credence today in some instances

ssm29usmc.bsky.social•19 days ago

He's has edict powers?!?
To eliminate the possible causes of autism?

Gee, I feel so relieved that RFK, Jr is in charge of our health and well-being. He is a walking example of what NOT the F___ to do to stay healthy.

Looking at him and listening to him speak sets off alarms --- that he's not well!

theharrow.bsky.social•34 days ago

And it will muddy the waters ever after.

Another excuse for them to say "....what about...."

If they don't know (H0), they don't know squat.

dontpokedamamabear.bsky.social•34 days ago

Drug addict...

stevea53.bsky.social•34 days ago

It sound like a total nutter let loose with people's lives....

brianeb.bsky.social•34 days ago

I see bogus studies and manipulated data on the horizon.

danieltuttle.com•34 days ago

More diagnoses != More autism

henningt6.bsky.social•34 days ago

He will, because he already knows before he starts his "study" that it will have been any vaccine.

kansaswoman.bsky.social•34 days ago

Feels like part of an overall strategy to totally dismantle public education and disability accessibility

jam-i-am.me•34 days ago

Autism doesn't need a cure, the world does. Also, we haven't found a cause so far,but he's going to in 6 months? Okay.

goodwitch0708.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’m too angry at his nonsense to argue with his ignorant views!

deborahparr.bsky.social•34 days ago

To quote Han Solo - “I have a really bad feeling about this”.

muggly.bsky.social•34 days ago

White old man with big mouth 🤮

strawber1.bsky.social•34 days ago

calling it now, he's going to end flu vax then. "September and October are generally good times to be vaccinated against influenza" - https://www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccines/keyfacts.html

uncertainworld.bsky.social•34 days ago

RFK will eliminate Elon?

dalemunk.bsky.social•34 days ago

The conclusion to the report has already been written, obviously. As are the plans to "fix it".
It's all so obvious...

jameswoodfield.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not least the use of the word epidemic.

phat-bat.bsky.social•34 days ago

Does he already have something they’re planning to roll out in September??

phat-bat.bsky.social•34 days ago

Some sort of snake oil scam??

catus14.bsky.social•34 days ago

When he gets vaccination rates right down, and kids start dying in the thousands, will he go to all the funerals to tell parents it's because their kids didn't eat enough apples?

messmonstergigi.bsky.social•34 days ago

The man’s brain was fried years ago, he shouldn’t be anywhere near health decisions.

perplexpuss.bsky.social•34 days ago

This guy is an absolute moron it’s scary

mam4music.bsky.social•33 days ago

Like the testing for Covid, they will stop screening for autism then claim they cured it.🤦‍♀️

fennavista.bsky.social•34 days ago

He means by sept they will have another lie to probably ban another vaccination. These people are anti science

jackjrswisher.bsky.social•34 days ago

Well yeah, of course they’re anti-science. They can’t handle the idea of being wrong.

craiggrannell.bsky.social•34 days ago

It’ll be whatever they’ve already decided it is. And then they’ll start bullying other countries to fall in line with this ‘science’. (Scare quotes very deliberately included. Maybe imagine them 42m high with flashing neon surround.)

wagnermarkus.bsky.social•34 days ago

And surely also deeply insulting to autistic people. Calling something an epidemic insinuates that it is an infectious disease.

sangheechon.bsky.social•33 days ago

Did RFK mean this September?

rustyrascal.bsky.social•34 days ago

Jesus that’s scary as hell……

nancyspantsbelt.bsky.social•33 days ago

Dictatorship is ominous

lisaburton.bsky.social•34 days ago

As a parent of an outstanding, smart & successful adult child with autism, this makes me so angry. A bunch of old men who don’t understand how our understanding of neurodiversity is growing as we find out more about what makes us all different. I also wonder how Musk views this but its sinister
