RFK Jr. Says We’ll Soon Know What’s Fueling The Autism Epidemic, And His Prediction Is Wild

It was revealed last month that a large study is being launched by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to examine potential connections between vaccines and autism, despite extensive scientific research repeatedly disproving this claim or failing to find supporting evidence.

Well-known vaccine skeptic David Geier was reported to have been hired to head the analysis. Geier — who’s been sanctioned in Maryland for practicing medicine without a license — has published papers about a “link” between vaccines and autism. Some of those papers have been retracted.

The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official resigned around the same time of Geier’s reported hiring. Dr. Peter Marks cited Kennedy’s push of “misinformation and lies” throughout the nation’s health department for his resignation, which the Washington Post reported was forced upon him.
