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."

  • It is remarkable how some people prefer to believe a totally discredited former research scientist, who was definitively shown to have fabricated and altered results for monetary gain, who has been struck off the medical register and who cannot now practise medicine or call himself a doctor, over all the other people in the field, who are in good standing in the research community and who continue to be able to practise medicine. It takes a special kind of stupid!
