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."

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 wonder how long the scepticism will last when things like polio and diptheria start killing and maiming people, especially children?

    Sadly these views do reflect those of many people across the world, you will still be able to get vaccines if you pay for them, but I doubt they'll be funded as part of a public health drive. It's not only Americans it will effect, but international charities that are funded by America, remember the Bush administration defunding any that supported birth control? Birth control methods got caught up in anti-abortion sentiments.
