RFK Jr. Cut Grants for Autism Research While Vowing to Find a Cause
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as Secretary of Health and Human Services, has cut millions in funding for autism research and eliminated divisions actively investigating environmental causes, despite promising a $50 million initiative to find autism's causes. He has also remained silent as the Trump administration rolls back protections against pollution and toxic chemicals, some of which are linked to autism, creating a contradiction between his stated goals and the administration's actions.
Note
the amount of double speak happening by those in power is sowing a future of continued distrust in societal structures (ex: scientists, civil servants) that we need for advancement.
if we cared about understanding autism at the cost of sowed doubt about vaccines, then at least lets make strides in environmental protections for families and cities.
the willful corruption on display in every branch of government (led now by almost all billionaires) halts any hope for advancement on any real agenda item, no matter what cause you support (other than the cause of more money for those who already have it).
