Full Episode
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. believes autism is preventable. He believes science can find the root cause. And he believes the root cause is something in our environment. Here he is at a press conference last month.
This is coming from an environmental toxin. And somebody made a profit by putting that environmental toxin into our air, our water, our medicines, our food.
Right now, the science suggests there may be environmental factors, among other things, at the root of autism. But it was RFK's description of autistic people that stoked outrage. This is the same press conference.
These are kids who will never pay taxes. They'll never hold a job. I'll never play baseball. I'll never write a poem. I'll never go out on a date.
On Today explained what RFK gets wrong according to science and according to some people who did date and who found love on the spectrum.
