Shocking! RFK jr. SOUNDS ALARM on the AUTISM EPIDEMIC in USA. But he blames Environmental Toxins and no longer Vaccines!
Introduction by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio
We publish below an article from the specialized magazine Fierce Healthcare which is a partner of Fierce Pharma, an online newspaper focused on the scientific research activities of Big Pharma and, therefore, very close to them.
But the article is quite significant because it shows the enormous step backwards on the correlations between vaccines and autism made by the lawyer Robert F. Kennedy jr., former founder president of the association Children’s Health Defense, and now Secretary of the US Department of Health.
In a conference in which he presented the alarming results on the increase in cases of autism among American children, he blamed unspecified environmental toxins but made no reference to vaccines, which for years he identified as the main culprits of the phenomenon according to legal investigations and scientific research published by his association CHD.
This happens after RFK jr. has publicly defended vaccination for the measles epidemic in Texas despite highly authoritative doctors and world-renowned experts having contested this preventive mass immunization for its dangerousness and ineffectiveness similar to those of the mRNA Covid genetic serums.
The effects of the dinner he had a few months ago with Trump, Big Pharma managers and a meeting with Bill Gates are starting to be felt…
RFK Jr. attacks environmental toxins as cause of childhood autism ‘epidemic’, stays silent on vaccines

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hosted a press conference on Wednesday to discuss data out of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing the rate of autism had increased to one in 31 among 8-year-olds.
The findings from the new CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report are based on data collected in 2022 and mark an uptick from one in 36 children diagnosed with autism based on 2020 data. The study was conducted by the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network (ADDM), which began tracking autism in 2000.
ADDM found a difference in autism prevalence between states, from 9.7 per 1,000 children at the site in Laredo, Texas to 53.1 per 1,000 children in California. The study also found that autism is 3.4 times as prevalent among boys as girls and that rates among Hispanic, Black, Asian and Pacific Islander and multiracial children were higher than in white children.

Researchers largely attribute the rise in autism rates to improved screening and earlier detection. Improvements in early identification of autism “have been apparent,” the authors of the CDC report wrote.
“Research has not demonstrated that living in certain communities puts children at greater risk for developing ASD [autism spectrum disorder]. Differences in the prevalence of children identified with ASD across communities might be due to differences in availability of services for early detection and evaluation and diagnostic practices,” the authors wrote.
At the start of the event, Kennedy decried that the results of the ADDM study lagged by two years, saying that infectious disease data is reported in a timely fashion. He said the Department’s new Administration for a Healthy America – created during the recent overhaul of HHS – would make data on autism and diabetes prevalence available in real-time.
He attributed the rise in autism rates to environmental toxins and said HHS would commission studies in the next two to three weeks to find the toxin at large. “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,” Kennedy stated.
Kennedy said the studies would be supported by federal grant funding to university researchers. “People will know they can research and follow the science no matter what it says, without any kind of fear that can be censored and they’re going to be gaslighted that they’re going to be silenced, they’re going to be defunded, de-licensed, and we’re going to give them permission to do this research,” he told reporters Wednesday.
This follows a commitment by Kennedy last week to find the cause of autism by September. Autism researchers and advocates pushed back immediately on Kennedy’s comments.
The Autism Society of America finds the Administration’s claim—that ‘we will know what has caused the Autism epidemic and we’ll be able to eliminate those exposures’—to be harmful, misleading, and unrealistic,” the organization said in a statement. “Autism is a complex developmental disability shaped by genetic, biological, and environmental factors. It is neither a chronic illness nor a contagion, that qualifies harmful language like ‘epidemic,’ and to do so is both inaccurate and stigmatizing.”
5 Scientific Findings Explain Link Between Vaccines and Autism
Claims that Autism is solely caused by environmental exposures, parenting styles, or vaccines not only lack scientific evidence but are incredibly irresponsible, the Autism Society of America said.
“These misleading theories perpetuate harmful stigma, jeopardize public health, and distract from the critical needs of the Autism community including — access to quality care, early intervention, adult services, inclusive education, and long-term supports,” said Christopher Banks, President and CEO of the Autism Society of America, in a statement.
Kennedy did not mention vaccines during the press conference
Kennedy did not mention vaccines during the press conference, in contrast to his confirmation hearings before the Senate in January, where he expressed that the two could be linked.
Kennedy claimed that industries are profiting from the environmental toxin and causing an ”epidemic of autism.” He claimed that while genetics may predispose children to autism, they are not the underlying factor in rising autism rates.
Kennedy strongly urged the public not to attribute the findings to better diagnostics, what he calls “epidemic denial.”
“Epidemic denial has become a feature in the mainstream media,” Kennedy said. “And based on industry canard, obviously, are people who don’t want us to look at environmental exposures.”
In response to a question posed by Fierce Healthcare, Kennedy said the industries responsible for the toxins will likely be pressured by the government and market forces to stop producing them.
Kennedy continued: “We’re going to look at mold. We’re going to look at food additives, air and water and medicines. You know, we’re going to look at ultrasound … I don’t think that’s probably a factor, but it is one of the exposures that became ubiquitous during that period.”
Richard H. Hughes IV, a partner at law firm Epstein, Becker & Green and a national thought leader on vaccines, attributes the rise in autism to changing diagnostic criteria.
“The so-called ‘autism epidemic’ was driven primarily by changes in diagnostic criteria in the DSM-III-R (1987) and DSM-IV (1994), which broadened the definition of autism,” Hughes wrote in Health Affairs. “These changes lead to more autism diagnoses and the reclassification of individuals previously diagnosed with other conditions.”
Kennedy said at the press conference that researchers needed to look for a ubiquitous environmental toxin introduced in 1989 to find the cause of autism. Hughes wrote in an email to Fierce Healthcare that the recommendation for a second MMR vaccine was introduced in 1989, which fueled the now-disputed Wakefield study linking the vaccine to autism.
