[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know autism is at least in part genetic because various cousins have kids with autism. 
So don't get me wrong. But it does seem like autism has exploded in numbers.

Why don't we keep an open mind and look at all the variables, not just the "accepted" causes?

Remember, Galileo proclaimed the earth was round and almost got burned at the stake for that heresy. He had the temerity to question the accepted flat earth belief of his time.

Not saying RFK Jr. is a Galileo, but at least let's explore potential environmental factors that might be causing susceptible individuals to develop autism. [/quote]

Once again - if you can string together that set of words into sentences, you can also figure out that what RFK is saying is NOT a question founded in any sort of understanding of the current knowledge of autism. I don’t think anyone objects to research on how pollution affects fetuses for example. But Doge has gutted all of the capacity to do such research. RFK is not a doctor, not a scientist, and is making zero effort to foster legitimate inquiry. [/quote]

He has zero literally zero education in this matter. Who let's this crap come near their kid's medical decisions? No parent that is a good parent would allow someone with zero education have a say in vaccines.[/quote]

HHS Secretaries don't issue vaccine recommendations.  He is also not DOGE. [/quote]

He’s doge’s stooge. They picked him because they knew he is an addled fool and they could gut HHS on his watch.

A more interesting question is how far in the mud Makary and Bhattacharya will go. They are contrarions but also actual medical doctors and scientists. [/quote]
Doge did not pick him. He preceded DOGE. He basically sold his support to the highest bidder. Kamala did not give him the time of day (not that I blame her) so he went with trump. Elon is less able to go toe to toe with people who also have billionaire supporters like Kennedy or are billionaires like Bessent. [/quote]
