As the autism cases increase, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services takes action. A massive testing and research effort has been launched to investigate the leading causes of the disease. This investigation will involve hundreds of scientists under the supervision of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. However, experts are concerned about Kennedy’s vaccine experience to determine the specific cause.

Experts Take and CDC Reports On Autism

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autism cases in children. Significantly, the current rate is rising to 1 in 36, which, according to Kenndy, is expected to increase more.

Trump’s statement also came forward in response to Kennedy’s Pledge:

“There will be no bigger news conference than that if you can come up with that answer. Where you stop taking something, you stop eating something, or maybe it’s a shot, but something’s causing it.”

Experts also attribute autism research to awareness and screening purposes. Its causes have not been prominent at the moment. However, some genetic and prenatal exposures contribute to its increasing cases. Autism Speaks also highlighted a relevant cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It develops from genetic influences. In addition, autism and environmental factors also contribute to its social detriments.

Kennedy’s Efforts for Autism

Kennedy, along with health and human services, has spent years developing connections between autism and vaccines. Notably, National autism advocacy groups, along with Autism Speaks, asserted that vaccines do not cause autism.

A statement from the Autistic Self Advocacy Network highlights the research fraud on autism:

“RFK Jr.’s comment is a clear signal that HHS intends to produce rigged and fraudulent research. It just supports Kennedy and Trump’s pre-existing beliefs in a connection between autism and vaccines.”

Insights Into Autism Research

RFK Jr.’s research poses a threat, or a cure is still unclear. The Autism Society of America has already declared Kennedy’s claims unrealistic and misleading. Furthermore, Kristyn Roth, the chief marketing officer of the society, also posed questions. She wants to know the achievability

of the September target, noting that the government has not yet released details of its plans.

The letter sent by democrats of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday criticized the vaccine. It discredited vaccine skeptic David Geier to examine the links. Geier was fined by Maryland right after the revelation for practicing medicine without a license and prescribing life-threatening treatments to autistic kids.

Kennedy’s Controversial Pledge

The renewed focus on autism research under the leadership of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has sparked significant controversy. Public health organizations, advocacy groups, and medical professionals continue to stress that autism epidemic causes are genetic rather than immunizations.

Despite facing criticism and opposition, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is set to take the initiative of massive research forward. Transparency will be critical to earning public trust and delivering meaningful outcomes for families affected by autism.
