U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy

“The autism epidemic is running rampant,”

“One in 31 American children born in 2014 are disabled by autism.

That’s up significantly from two years earlier and nearly five times higher than when the CDC first started running autism surveys in children born in 1992

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss5601a1.htm

Prevalence for boys is an astounding 1 in 20 and in California it’s 1 in 12.5.”

“President Trump has tasked me with identifying the root causes of the childhood chronic disease epidemic — including autism,”

“We are assembling teams of world-class scientists to focus research on the origins of the epidemic,
and we expect to begin to have answers by September.”

This report exposes a series of critical public health crises

A persistent rise in ASD prevalence

An alarming escalation in case severity

Increasingly stark disparities across racial and ethnic groups

This also highlights the urgent need for real-time data.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy

“The autism epidemic has now reached a scale unprecedented in human history because it affects the young,”

“The risks and costs of this crisis are a thousand times more threatening to our country than COVID-19.

Autism is preventable and it is unforgivable that we have not yet identified the underlying causes.

We should have had these answers 20 years ago.”

Vaccines, Autism, and Brownstone

That’s how much taboo there is around this subject, which is itself deeply strange.

If science is simply a matter of evidence and causal inference, it should be fearless and not doctrinaire. It should go where evidence leads.
