During a Cabinet meeting on Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a significant announcement to President Donald Trump. He pledged that his department would identify the environmental factors contributing to autism by September.
Kennedy explained that a large-scale research initiative had been initiated, involving numerous scientists globally. He expressed confidence that the project would pinpoint the causes of the autism epidemic, allowing for the elimination of those exposures.
Trump, who has previously expressed concerns about the rise in autism cases, praised Kennedy's efforts. He highlighted the dramatic increase in autism prevalence and suggested that an artificial factor was responsible. Trump then inquired about Kennedy's confidence in the project's success.
Kennedy responded with assurance, stating that the findings would be available by September. Trump emphasized the importance of the discovery, suggesting that it could lead to significant changes in behavior or medical practices.
Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda is now underway. He also discussed his collaboration with governors in 24 states to restrict the purchase of "soda pop" through the food stamp program. Furthermore, Kennedy recently announced his intention to advocate for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to cease recommending the addition of fluoride to drinking water.

Kennedy's agenda seems to focus on sensationalism rather than truly helping autistic individuals.

Reducing environmental triggers could lead to real changes in how we handle autism.

Identifying environmental factors isn't enough. We need solutions, not more studies!

So many resources wasted on a research initiative that may lead nowhere.

Pledging to find causes is a crucial step. Awareness and research can lead to treatment.
