    The nation’s top health agency will undertake a “massive testing and research effort” to determine the cause of autism, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Thursday.

    Kennedy, a longtime vaccine critic who has pushed a discredited theory that routine childhood shots cause the developmental disability, said the effort will be completed by September and involve hundreds of scientists. He shared the plans with President Donald Trump during a televised Cabinet meeting.

    Trump suggested that vaccines could be to blame for autism rates, although decades of research have concluded there is no link between the two..

    Kennedy has hired David Geier, a man who has repeatedly claimed a link between vaccines and autism, to lead the autism research effort. The hiring of Geier, who the state of Maryland found was practicing medicine on a child without a doctor’s license, was first reported by The Washington Post.

    HHS did not immediately response to a request for comment.

      There’s a study out that links autism to gestational diabetes.

      Let’s see where this goes.

          @wtg said in HHS to tackle autism:

          Trump suggested that vaccines could be to blame for autism rates,

          We can take Trump's opinion for what it's worth: Diddly squat.

          Kennedy! The great rise in autism was noticed in the '80s, right? (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Vaccines became standard in the '40s through the '60s. So. And how much of the rise in autism rates is attributed to better evaluation methods and redefinition/broadening of autism to a spectrum? And who says that every manifestation on the autism spectrum is something that needs a "cure"? Is there really any such thing as normal? I doubt it. (Famous example is the the case of the Air Force in the early 50s. They measured thousands of pilots on all sorts of metrics to come up with a cockpit design to suit the "average" man. They discovered there was no such thing.)

            Kennedy's being blackmail, allegedly. Candace Owens did an hour report on it.

            Strange politics. His father and uncle must be rolling in their graves.
