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”

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…..
