RFK Jr. is doing a lot of heavy lifting to try to solve a terrible problem. 25 years ago I had not known anyone with autism. Today I know several people. Something is obviously very wrong. Thank God we have somebody who knows how to think now trying to get to the root of this and solve it. The nation should be very grateful for his efforts.

Is this Toby Roger’s here on Substack? If so, this is an amazing move! He shows tremendously how vaccines are the number one association of autism. This is a phenomenal move.

Here’s a guide to all the vaccine harms:

So happy to see this list. I just turned 84. I think I’ve been waiting 20 years. My (adopted) son is 35. His short film “Ever Green and the F**#king Spectrum” is headed for festivals this summer.

Lets ban mercury fillings so the mom's out there have a lower total load of mercury. The vapor comes off these "medical devices" 24/7 and the body absorbs these constant invisible floating Hg atoms. Sheep studies find mercury travels to the fetus over time and by birth its all over the CNS and liver. Peace Dr. DiNola

Thank you to all serving on this committee. And thank you, Secretary Kennedy, for drawing all these people together to determine what and why there is such an epidemic of autism and how it can be reversed. Additionally, I expect we will see some treatments surface that can improve the lives of those afflicted and their families. Godspeed.

It is really reassuring to see this committee updated, to an inquisitive, considerate and informed group, honestly trying to fulfill the request of the agency. In this case, giving their suggestions on the best way forward in research and finding root cause. This list of committee members includes some of the most dedicated and best experts in the field. Congratulations Lou for brining this to our attention, thank you.

Thank you to all for continuing to pursue the many variables that may be contributing to autism and allowing the voices (both spoken and written) of a diverse group to contribute.

RFK Jr., is worth his weight in gold! So glad he's a part of President Trump's team!

The Scam Doctor's avatar

But he can't even read a scientific study. How is that "worth his weight in gold"?

You mean all those 'scientific studies' that were referred to during C19? LOL, besides, he's a good boss because he knows how to delegate to those who can.

The Scam Doctor's avatar

No I mean the specific study he advertised on his Twitter account. He couldn't even understand it.

If he doesn't understand the subject then he can't understand how to identify who actually knows what they're talking about.

Renee C.'s avatar

Gonna have to agree to disagree. He has doctors and scientists reporting to him that get the job done.

I feel a bit of relief knowing we finally have addressed the severity of autism and it’s quick rise in our country. Now all we need to do is find out what causes it. I’m betting it’s on the vaccines combined with something biological in our kids. I pray this group finds finally finds the cause and how to prevent and treat it!

Let the work continue! Whoohoo!

This is something we need! I will include this in my next blog post.

It is hard to argue away an autism forest by seeking fault with one new forest-ranger, is it not?

All Kennedy is trying to do is good science, and to then proceed from the findings.

I think I know the outcome.

I was in med school in 1986, just finishing. We were all highly suspicious of the protections for vaccine manufacturers signed into law by Reagan.

We all knew about "hot batches" of DPT, and it was fairly standard to offer parents to wait to start vaccinations until after the first birthday.

Many of us did that with our kids in those years and shortly after that.

This whole "Safe & Effective" mantra is a completely new thing.

Vaccine history does not support it.

Kennedy is not trying to do good science. Kennedy doesn't even know how to interpret science:

So it's not just one new ranger, it's also the head honcho.

Great! Excellent work.

Not having a child with autism, I definitely support a new way of thinking about this affliction. Especially considering the number of children that were being damaged by the past recalcitrant approach. It's definitely time to have, what should be, a science driven field actually start believing in science, instead of money. Health care should be for the public good and not just for the benefit of practitioners and big pharma.
