Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared Thursday that “by September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic,” setting a timeline of 5 months for figuring out the expansion of a dysfunction that has been closely researched for many years throughout the globe.

“We are going to know by September,” Kennedy declared at a Trump Cabinet assembly, whereas crediting this forecast to his launch of a federal examine that he reportedly tapped a fellow vaccine skeptic to supervise. “We’ve launched a massive testing and research effort that’s going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world. By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we’ll be able to eliminate those exposures.”

Kennedy, a prolific vaccine skeptic who together with President Donald Trump has unfold broadly disproven claims that the pictures are linked to autism, went on to emphasize that autism charges are rising within the U.S., with about 1 in 31 kids recognized at the moment, versus 1 in 10,000 “when I was a kid.”

It was revealed final month that a big examine is being launched by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to look at potential connections between vaccines and autism, regardless of intensive scientific analysis repeatedly disproving this declare or failing to seek out supporting proof.

Well-known vaccine skeptic David Geier was reported to have been employed to go the evaluation. Geier — who’s been sanctioned in Maryland for training drugs with out a license — has revealed papers a few “link” between vaccines and autism. Some of these papers have been retracted.

The Food and Drug Administration’s high vaccine official resigned across the similar time of Geier’s reported hiring. Dr. Peter Marks cited Kennedy’s push of “misinformation and lies” all through the nation’s well being division for his resignation, which The Washington Post reported was compelled upon him.
