RFK JR contradicts experts by linking autism to “environmental toxins” | Robert P. Kennedy Junior
US Minister of Health, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, said at his first press conference that the large and modern height of autism was evidence of an “epidemic” resulting from “environmental poison”, which will be rooted by September.
Autism defenders and health experts have stated repeatedly that the high diagnoses are related to better recognition of the condition, changing the criteria for diagnosis and better access to the examination. Many also reject the “epidemic” poster, on the pretext that nervous parity should be estimated.
Kennedy said: “This is a preventive disease. We know that it is an environmental exposure, it must be,” Kennedy said. He said, despite the well -known evidence against this claim: “It does not cause epidemic genes, and they can provide weakness, but you need environmental beshes.”
Kennedy’s comments come after a new federal a report It indicates that autism rates in the United States are increasing. The report states that the spread of autism throughout the country has increased by one in 36 children to one in 31 Autism Da`wah groups Call the increase To expand diagnostic tools and access to care, along with other factors.
RFK did not agree to the consensus of health researchers, and said that “we need to move away” from the idea that the increase in the spread of autism “is simply due to better diagnostic tools.”
The Minister of Health instead uses data to support the idea that the high diagnosis of autism is evidence of the increasing “epidemic”. He added that “the denial of the epidemic” towards autism has become a “advantage in the main media.”
Kennedy has also confirmed that he will raise the “taboos” in autism research – at the same time as the Disease Control Center destroyed many programs, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the largest vital and behavioral research body publicly funded in the world. The ideological review of grants This has led to widespread fear among researchers.
Kennedy said: “We will remove the taboos – that people will know that they can search and follow the knowledge regardless of what he says, without any kind of fear of censorship,” Kennedy said.
Autism, a group of competition and non -profit research, says that there can be a The link between environmental toxins Autism in some cases, such as prenatal exposure to chemicals of the chemicals and vanic acid.
But the Foundation confirms that “any of these effects does not seem to” cause “or” prevent “autism on its own. Instead it appears to affect the risks in those who suffer from genetically disorder.”
In a statement on the research of the Center for Disease Control, the American Autism Society said: “This rise in spread does not indicate a” epidemic “as the novels claim – it reflects the diagnostic progress, and the urgent need for policy decisions rooted in science and direct needs of the autism community.”
The statement stressed that “the rise in spreading probably reflects better awareness, improving examination tools, and the strongest call.”
Dr. Peter Marx, who previously worked as a FDA vaccine official (FDA) before step down due to “wrong information and lies” for RFK, recently doubts about the Minister of Health’s promise to determine the causes of autism by September.
“If you just ask me, as a scientist, is it possible to get the answer quickly? I don’t see any possible way,” Marx said in an interview with CBS’s Face The Nation.
He added: “You can be incredibly supportive to people, but giving them a wrong hope.”
Kennedy has a long history in proposing a link between childhood vaccines and autism, although there is no scientific evidence, and many studies that have found that there is no link.
