Next US health secretary: “autism comes from vaccines”

Bunny

As reported in this BBC news article: "One of his main false claims - repeated in a 2023 interview with Fox News, was that “autism comes from vaccines”."

And from Sky News: "Mr Kennedy is a known vaccine sceptic who has repeated misinformation on multiple occasions, including the discredited theory that childhood immunisations cause autism."

Sky News - RFK Jr chosen as Donald Trump's health secretary - as president-elect says he will do 'unbelievable things'

As we know, and as stated by the CDC in the US:

"Q: Do vaccines cause autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?

A: Many studies have looked at whether there is a relationship between vaccines and ASD. To date, the studies continue to show that vaccines are not associated with ASD."

  • I had recently heard about this whilst watching the news.

    When I read the Sky News article you have linked to, I found it almost laughable when I read this:
    RFK Jr will "restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research

    If this is true, then with any luck it will only be a matter of time until RFK Jr finally accepts what the studies have proven to date (that vaccines don't cause ASD).
