that it was Fluoride …no wait, it was vaccines……nope it was food dyes just a few days ago……
Now the RFK cause (for this week, at least) for autism is…(pick 1 or more ?)
‘Environmental pollution”
or maybe
Bisphenol A (BPA) from plastics…
or maybe
“synthetic pesticides”
or maybe…….”Ultrasound Scans”
Or it could be something else ,,,,since all the above have been discarded by anyone who has more than 3 neurons to rub together.
(He really hit the top Conspiracy theories though, didn’t he?.)..I guess he is trying to please the more radical (and less well educated) folks that claim autism is “increasing”. despite the fact that the definition of Autism has changed dramatically in the past 50 years……
He forgot to add artificial fats, or seed oils, or hydrogenated oils, or maybe sunspots. Just a few years ago it was the precursor chemicals to Teflon for cookware….
Not that the above will make any difference to the True Believers
His beliefs make sense….if you failed 8th grade science class…
Were it not for the nutballs on the internet giving him credence and support he would have been dismissed as a complete loon long ago.
He is proving over and over that he is not fit to head HHS or any public health agency. Or any agency that requires any science or logic…..He night be a good fit for BATF(e) though…..
BTW: For those who don’t know, this is the new definition of Autism
Anyone who can show several of these symptoms (Doesn’t have to be ALL of them, just 4 or more…how many do you have? ) is defined as Autistic….
Specific signs of autism may include:
Reactions to smell, taste, look, feel or sound are unusual
Difficulty adapting to changes in routine
Unable to repeat or echo what is said to them
Difficulty expressing desires using words or motions
Unable to discuss their own feelings or other people’s
Difficulty with acts of affection like hugging
Prefer to be alone and avoid eye contact
Difficulty relating to other people
Unable to point at objects or look at objects when others point to them

Ridicule is easy, finding actual solutions is hard. Are you a scientist or physician? Do you know the answer to the riddle of autism? If so, please share it with your audience?
If not, why are you mocking a man who is at least searching for one, who is at least curious what is going on?
If there is one thing about Big Pharma and Big Med that we have learned since 2020, it is that while individual doctors, caregivers and scientists may – indeed often are – moral and principled people, these corporate megaliths are amoral in the extreme. Moreover, both entities are corrupt and have more than a few blatantly evil people working in them in positions of authority.
Expecting RFK, Jr. to be consistent scientifically is a bridge too far, given that his training is as an attorney. Which means he is going to make mistakes, not withstanding his efforts to learn the subject matter.
He remains popular, and why? Because unlike his critics, he is inquisitive and wants to turn over those rocks that Big Pharma and Big Med don’t seem to want touched. Now why could that be? Honest people and honest institutions do not behave in such a manner, whether it concerns what we add to our water or anything else.
I suppose what I am arguing is to ask that you give him a chance to compile a track record in his present position before you jump all over the guy. Don’t we owe him that much? Which brings me back to the original question: If his way isn’t the correct one, what is?
You hit the nail on the head!
I ridicule because he has absolutely (and has demonstrated so) no knowledge of any science. He follows conspiracy theories without any logic. He can’t even begin to understand a solution or cause even if he stumbled across it.
He has been the poster child for conspiracy theories for many things, and has blamed many possibilities…yet always changing and never with any logic to why.
I do not doubt his prowess as an attorney. But he follows conspiracy theories rather than use sound scientific investigative logic. More like religion than science.
He keeps repeating debunked claims as “proved”….
If he’s gonna pretend to be a scientist, he should act like and talk like and think like one instead of acting like a conspiracy theorist…Fer chrissake, he is head of HHS, you’d think he would use some logic and some science in his thinking.
He is either stupid or delusional when it comes to things like this….so yes, I ridicule him. He isn’t “searching” for anything. He is following conspiracy theories developed by people who have no clue that only get an audience because of tik-Tok and other media all the way back to usenet….Where everyone is an expert even if they never passed 8th grade and have no idea how things actually work…
“I heard it from my sister who heard it from her neighbor who got it from her hairdresser whose sister works at a medical supply company and she herd it from a delivery driver that …..”….and people believe such rot with no reason to…..
Believe what you want. I know better and will continue to mock him for his stupidity.
What qualifications do you have to ridicule this man?
Besides having a thorough grounding in Chemistry and Biology? Cause and effect, you know, things like that.
Why, nothing other than being able to think logically.
He’s a loon, and fool, and is in a position where his intelligence doesn’t help because he has not got the background to know what he is talking about. His advice, uneducated and wrong, has caused people’s deaths.
He’s not stupid, he is ignorant and foolish enough to think that because he has a law degree it makes him competent in other, scientific fields.
I ridicule him for what he say, because generally his statement are patently stupid.
Worse, I ridicule him because he follows poorly thought out conspiracy theories about autism and vaccines like a religion, rather than thinking.
I ridicule everyone who does that.
Seriously, look at what he says, and what he blames for Autism. If you dismiss what I say here, then you haven’t really read his statements or you can’t think logically.
I guess I’m borderline Autistic. I never knew…
I thought I was pretty normal. I suppose one cannot say that anymore. Well adjusted?
