What controversial statements did RFK Jr. make about autism?
I have a teenage dream that she shut the up. So, unsurprisingly, RFK Jr. brought his anti-vax policies to the administration. And yesterday, he gave a speech about autism, and people are pissed.
Comments from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that are raising eyebrows. During his first news conference as the nation's top health official, he addressed rising autism rates while calling the disease preventable.
RFK Jr. 's bleak description of people living with autism causing outrage. Autism destroys families. These are kids who will never pay taxes.
Wait, that... That's what you're gonna lead with? That's the big tragedy for you? These poor kids will never know the joy of attaching a Schedule K to a 1048. It's not even accurate. I mean, autistic people do pay taxes. Are you thinking of art history majors? But, I mean... Please give us more of your expert opinions about what autistic people can and can't do.
They'll never hold a job. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.
What do you mean they don't date? I mean, does the candy compound not have Netflix? Okay, because David took Abby on a safari to Africa. And yeah, could Connor be a little more open-minded about dating blondes? Sure, but couldn't we all? I mean, everything this guy said is ridiculous. Autistic kids will never write poems? Well, who wants kids to write more poems? That's something we should be preventing. So it's no wonder why people are pissed at him. Most autistic people can do all that stuff. And even the ones who can are still human beings. Who even made RFK the judge of what makes life worth living? I'm sorry, they'll never know the joy of planting bear carcasses in Central Park or holding 85% of the world's mucus in their throats. But whatever.
This is a huge project he's taking on. I mean, Lem spent the next two decades trying to figure it out.
By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we'll be able to eliminate those exposures.
So you think you're going to have a pretty good idea, huh?
We will know by September.
By September? Wow, that was quick and very specific. I mean, I ordered a couch that isn't going to come by then. But good to know when I'm watching the Wicked sequel this fall, I can focus on the plot instead of wondering what causes autism. I mean, why are you even pretending to study it? We all know you're gonna blame vaccines, okay? This whole thing is more rigged than a golf championship at Mar-a-Lago. I mean, just look at who he hired to do the research.
Kennedy has tapped a previously discredited vaccine skeptic, David Geyer, as a senior data analyst. Geyer was previously fined $10,000 by the Maryland Board of Physicians for practicing medicine without a license.
You know when commercials say nine out of 10 doctors agree? This is the 10th doctor. I mean, this guy looks like the reason second opinions were invented. But enough about RFK, let's move on to Elon Musk, living proof that autistic people can do anything, including... Including destroy the government. And as far as his dating life goes, Elon isn't lacking there either.
