RFK Jr’s sweeping claim about autism exposed.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr has announced he is ready to reveal what he calls the “cause” of autism.
Autism prevalence in the U.S. profiled.
Autism now affects an estimated one in 31 children in America, according to the CDC.
Boys are over three times more likely than girls to receive an autism diagnosis.
Cases are found across all races, ethnic groups, and income levels, showing no boundaries in who is affected.
The condition is lifelong, impacting communication, behavior, and social interaction in different ways depending on the individual.
While conspiracy theories have flourished, scientific research has consistently found no evidence linking vaccines to autism.
Experts stress that portraying autism as a preventable epidemic is misleading and harmful to the autistic community.
RFK Jr’s previous claims highlighted.
Kennedy has spent years challenging the safety of vaccines, often citing alleged links to neurological disorders.
He founded organizations questioning vaccine safety, which have drawn sharp criticism from health experts.
His high-profile stance has led to bans from social media platforms for spreading medical misinformation.
Even members of the Kennedy family have publicly condemned his views, warning they risk public health.
RFK Jr has suggested environmental toxins, from chemicals in food to pollutants in water, play a hidden role in rising health problems.
Critics argue his claims recycle debunked theories, giving old conspiracies a fresh political stage.
The shocking announcement revealed.
The 71-year-old presidential hopeful confirmed the announcement will take place at a news conference later this month.
RFK Jr says he has enlisted “hundreds” of scientists from across the world to investigate autism spectrum disorder.
According to Kennedy Jr, autism isn’t simply a condition—it’s triggered by specific “interventions” he believes can be identified and stopped.
Many have linked his recent autism remarks to his long-running campaign against vaccines, pointing out that both push the idea of hidden dangers in mainstream medicine.
Kennedy Jr insists the data will be unveiled in September.
Speaking on August 26, he doubled down: “We’re finding interventions now that are clearly, almost certainly causing autism.”
“And we’re going to be able to address those in September,” he added, vowing to act swiftly.
But according to CNN Health, the proposed autism studies have not even begun as of September 4.
Donald Trump applauded the move, calling the upcoming announcement “such a big day” for the country.
“There’s something wrong when you see the kind of numbers today versus 20 years ago,” Trump said.
“There has to be something artificially causing this, meaning, a drug or something,” he speculated.
Reactions to announcement unveiled.
Alison Singer, founder of the Autism Science Foundation, blasted RFK Jr’s claims as “highly unusual.”
“It’s highly unusual to announce you have the results of a study before the study even begins,” Singer told reporters.
Yergeau added: “Autism is not an epidemic, nor is it a disease, and nor is it preventable.”
They warned that such claims could instill unnecessary fear and dehumanize autistic people.
Kennedy continues to court headlines.
Despite the backlash, RFK Jr thrives in controversy, often framing himself as the lone truth-teller against powerful institutions.
As September approaches, questions remain about whether any actual science backs his upcoming announcement.
For now, Kennedy insists he will expose “clear causes” of autism that scientists supposedly uncovered.
Whether or not the science is there, RFK Jr’s bombshell autism announcement is set to dominate headlines in the weeks ahead.
