President-elect Trump, who has promoted the debunked theory that vaccines cause autism for more than a decade, suggested on Sunday that he would have his choice for health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., look into the issue.

By "look into it" does he mean do a Google search while taking a 💩 on the 🚽? He has absolutely nothing in his credentials or skill set to go about 'looking into something" that he has already made up his mind about. Not to disparage any particular profession, but he is an attorney, not a researcher.
The doctor who started this bs theory literally had his medical license taken away. It’s been debunked and the asshat still profits from it. RFK Jr. isn’t even a medical professional though and he looks like if Jordan Peterson ate too much salt and passed out in a tanning bed.
sarampo, poliomielite, covid coqueluche, pneumonia, tétano, varíloa? As vossas tropas não serão mais vacinadas ou so os civis serão submetidos a este novo tipo de extermínio?
measles, polio, covid whooping cough, pneumonia, tetanus, smallpox? Will your troops no longer be vaccinated or will only civilians be subjected to this new type of extermination?
Let him. Let him see the fax for himself. Let him speak with scientist and people under him who work with the vaccine and know what they’re talking about.
Let him make an ass of himself and embarrass himself
It is really hard to process the fact that here we are in 2024, when the world's understanding of neurodiversity is increasing, and the leader of the USA is preparing for a national campaign of disinformation, to the detriment of all.
If I would be living in the US and had a child I would make sure to get all the necessary vaccinations and refreshers soon. You want to protect yourself, with these policy makers regular outbreaks are only a question of time.
Do you think these idiots understand, that if the population dies, they themselves are fucked? Who's going to cater to them day in day out? Who's going to be the workforce they can take advantage of?
Do they have right education and qualification to state these kinds of false nonsense?
Somebody should sue them for false and dangerous statements. They should be able to prove their asserts by reasonable and scientific methods and otherwise get penalties.
RFK uses the alleged worms in his brain to channel crap science on the safety and efficacy of vaccines. DJT gobbles this garbage because he sees it as part of the road to damage and eliminate programs Americans pay for and have earned in retirement.
Yes have the antivax conspiracy charlatan who ISN’T an expert by any stretch of the imagination look into something he’s been peddling himself for years ffs
And, any decent copy editor would point out that there was never a link between vaccines and autism to begin with, so there was nothing to "debunk". Crackpots making shit up doesn't give it standing.
What could wrong? RFK Jr. has met with scientists, appeared to listen to them, then went out and spewed his conspiracy bs. If it doesn’t comport with his beliefs he ignores it!
So you’d rather have a dead kid than an autistic one? That’s the only suitable response to people who wrongly scream that there is a link between autism and vaccines. They’d rather have a dead kid!
Absolutely. It’s all so asinine. I just gave this rebuttal once to someone who said they wouldn’t vaccinate their kids and wouldn’t listen to the fact that there is NO link. Wasn’t nice, but I didn’t mind shaming her a bit and making her think. We should always lead with the fact there is no link.
Yea, it's nice to check home with the premise, though. We never end up going past second base with the "vaccines cause autism" silliness because evidence is shown right out the gate.
Thinking more than one move ahead isn't the conspiracy theorist's redeeming quality.
She claimed the measles vaccine caused her son's autism and got that topic moving in a lot of popular media, and helped usher in the anti science nonsense.
What does the gov. gain from promoting vaccines that cause autism? How many cover-ups needed to take place to negate the scientific evidence of over 500,000 licensed medical pros from years of evidence?
What's more likely, one man who lies all the time is, again, lying.
Or all the evidence?
Reported. This claim has been thoroughly debunked, you should be ashamed spreading this rubbish. The document redacted under the FOIA wasn't a study, it was internal communications. All of the peer reviewed studies about the covid vaccine and myocarditis are published in reputable medical journals.
Reality debunked it.
Right after the publication of the study proposing the connection, people pointed to the existing data at the time, showing that the introduction of the MMR vax was not associated with a bump in autism. Then researchers looked into the study itself and debunked that as well.
You mean the original study that was trying to prove the connection? A lawyer who wanted to promote his own vaccine, believe it or not. That’s part of why it was easily debunked.
He has ZERO qualifications. He has no medical degrees, and he's going to decide???? WTF, Scientist went to school and earned a degree to study and wannabe Dr. thinks he knows better.
Oh yes ....because some random guy with no science or medical background is going to do better with than the literal THOUSANDS of scientists who have proven otherwise.....
There will always be a micro percentage of troubling data. Bob is such a pitiful blooper he sees mountains to advance his tarnished glory. I would not count on him. 70 years of health for our people r exacting testimony. Bob sniffs before raising his leg. A huge embarrassment to the prior gen.
We already have a cohort study of *ALL* the kids in Denmark for 10 years demonstrating vaccines done cause autism. This case is settled. Kennedy is just an anti science crank
May be RFK, Jr can investigate the correlation between the "consumption of alcohol" and "rape in America". Let's zero in a little, and add "by conservative men", then just for kicks let's add "in Trump's Cabinet" to the data set.
For all our sakes, I hope there is a scientist somewhere who will persist with this man long enough to educate him about the vaccine scientific data—enough to make him understand.
If Dr. Kennedy and a team of respected medical professionals find evidence of a link between vaccines and autism, I may reconsider my position. If non-doctor Kennedy and a team of people chose to tell him what he wants find a link at odds with what most of the scientific community believes, I won't.
A study involving half a million children, there was no noticeable difference in autism rates between those who were vaccinated and those who were not. That's good enough for me.
Can Elon please set the DOGE on this idea? The theory that vaccines cause autism has been thoroughly debunked. There is no need to spend money investigating something which only cranks believe in.
Y'all, doctors and scientists have already done exhaustive research on this. The guy who started it had an axe to grind and money to be made. His medical license was revoked because of it. Because he LIED and manipulated people, causing lots of sickness & death.
There have been some studies that link old-man sperm with the rise of not only autism.
You know, the mid-life crisis guy who marries a second younger wife and starts a second family.
Sperm does not get better with age.
RFK, Jr. has been seeking a national platform to attempt to discredit the scientific community's overwhelming findings that vaccines don't cause autism at least since he launched his campaign for the presidency. The complete lack of evidence supporting his BS theory hasn't dissuaded him.
“I have never seen a president in American history who has lied so continuously and so outrageously as Donald Trump, period.” - presidential historian Michael Beschloss
Sure, let's get the expert Kennedy to sort it out since his BA in history and literature, together with his law degree, makes him an excellent authority on vaccines and autism.
While our country wastes money helping me prove something that’s been debunked a thousand times over, I’m going to hire someone I trust as an expert using more of the country’s money who is a whack job believer in long-debunked conspiracy theories himself!

Enjoy Xmas
2025: to hell in a handcart.....
I mean, why would anyone actually lead off with “this is disproved and puts millions at risk”. As long as Jeff gets richer, just do what it takes.
Let him make an ass of himself and embarrass himself
Measles spreads like wildfire as do Mumps & Rubella.
There is %0.00 risk in doing so btw 😁
Protect yourself from these fools 🙏 !

He never could have won without you!
Good choice republicons. We are doomed
It all originated from 1 BS source which has been debunked 1000 fold.
Only conspiracy heads like worm brain Man keep it alive by constantly pushing it.
Of all the DJT Todies,
RFK Fruitcake scares me most.
"Nationwide autism outbreak"
So this is BS wrapped in
Bologne
Four more years of nonsense to follow....
Thinking more than one move ahead isn't the conspiracy theorist's redeeming quality.
This is just a horrible waste of time & $$$ that will allow viral monsters WE defeated 50 years ago to come back & spread again.
I've been a NYT subscriber for over 25 years btw ...
But I'm losing faith 😞.
The origin of that conspiracy came from 1 lousy & debunked story.
But all you need is a small group of influencers pushing it on an illinformed public &...
God Help Us All .
Thanks MTV host and Playmate Jenny McCarthy....
All I remember is she always said a boatload of stupid things with total confidence in her ignorance 😞.
It can be damaging to pregnant women and the fetus.
Autism is genetic.
What's more likely, one man who lies all the time is, again, lying.
Or all the evidence?
For perspective, patients who had COVID were more likely to contract myocarditis due to weakened immunity without the vaccine than with it.
Right, why promote a vaccine that could hurt 1% to save 99%? /s

Just looked at their profile…
Oh my. 😳😳😳😳
If we slip to far below 95% Measles ,Rubella ect.. will start to spread like wildfire in the US
We defeated those monsters 50+ years ago
Why bring them back ?
Wtf 😒 ???

Sit back, don't wait!!!
Or was that, that 81 is too old but 78 is not?
I miss the days when you were a great news paper.

What good are you?
This viewpoint should always be publicly and aggressively shamed for the bullshit it is.

Where is this so-called nationwide spike in autism , as I've not heard anything about it ??
It exists only in the worm eaten brain of RFK Fruitcake.
You know, the mid-life crisis guy who marries a second younger wife and starts a second family.

Same amount of protein and I don't have to sniff a nasty dick 😉
Chicken Egg vs Splodge
😂
Did I miss something?
the chicken 🐔 or the egg 🐣,
or the rooster 🐓?😂
Sorry, old joke.
Everyone wins!
1st off There is NO nationwide spike in autism !
& Vaccines don't Cause Autism !
This has been debunked so many times now & DJT knows it.
Only Worm Brain & his ignorant followers still believe it.
This kind of debunked disinformation kills people.
