In a move that signals real leadership and courage, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has promised to uncover the root causes of the autism epidemic by September. Speaking at a Cabinet meeting, Kennedy announced the launch of a sweeping global research initiative, involving “hundreds of scientists from around the world,” under the direction of President Trump.
“We are going to know what has caused the autism epidemic,” Kennedy stated. “And we’ll eliminate those exposures.”
While the establishment has long sidestepped this issue, Kennedy is doing what bureaucrats and Big Pharma won’t—demanding answers and putting real science to work. Autism rates have soared in recent decades, jumping from 1 in 150 children in 2000 to an alarming 1 in 36 in 2020. New data suggests it’s now as high as 1 in 31. For millions of families, these aren’t just statistics—they’re daily realities that deserve attention, not excuses.
Kennedy is not leaving any stone unturned. “We’re going to look at everything—our food, water, air. Everything is on the table,” he told Fox News. “We know this is environmental. And we will find out what’s triggering this cataclysm.”
While critics continue to push the same tired talking points, Kennedy is pushing for truth—whether or not it ruffles feathers in the pharmaceutical industry or in Washington. He’s also called on NIH to oversee this critical work, emphasizing transparency and scientific rigor.
RFK Jr.’s stance is simple: health freedom, open inquiry, and answers for families who’ve been ignored too long. Real accountability is coming for the first time in years—and it’s about time.
