they play 8 seconds of RFK and then spend 4 minutes telling you how bad what they claim he said is.
RFK said we are looking into those things as potential cofactors — not that they were definitely causing the rise.
When i grew up i knew no one that was non verbal. No one! Its not genetics
We all know that the makers of vaccines were granted immunity from lawsuits in 1986. They then make an S ton of vaccines that kids are forced to get to go to school and by 1989 it’s an epidemic. Big pharma stands to lose trillions, along with their lobbying power, domination of the media, and ability to line the pockets of politicians, scientists, and the vaccine division of the CDC. Anyone remotely curious needs to just to go the library and do a search of the symptoms your kid has and check out a few books. That’s what I had to do because in pharmacy school, they won’t speak a word about this topic due to the risk of losing grant money
He actually specifically said "risk factors " and " ,genetic susceptibility " you guys have to stop misrepresenting and omitting key parts of this press conference. This is why most dont trust u anymore.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/ss/ss7402a1.htm Read the actual study.
Examples from the report:
For example, California has had the highest prevalence among children aged 4 years and 8 years since joining the ADDM Network in 2018 (6,10,11,13) and has a local initiative (the Get SET Early model). As part of the initiative, hundreds of local pediatricians have been trained to screen and refer children for assessment as early as possible, which could result in higher identification of ASD, especially at early ages (17). In addition, California has regional centers throughout the state that provide evaluations and service coordination for persons with disabilities and their families (https://www.dds.ca.gov). Another reason for differences in prevalence could be whether children have insurance coverage or meet eligibility criteria for access to early intervention services. Pennsylvania, the site with second highest prevalence among children aged 8 years, has state Medicaid policy that includes children with physical, developmental, mental health, or intellectual disabilities regardless of parents’ income (18).

Get em Bobby 🎉🎉 don't let the naysayers stop you
Also just found out that RFK Jr is neurodivergent himself, and has asked for compassion and understanding. Omg this just keeps getting better and better 🤦♂️
Media are zeroed and not playing any games to spare about this
The Media are Playing zero Games on tgis😂.
They are doing a absolute 180 crusade against him
I don't trust the Establishment even the medical ones they are a Bunch of BS
Who funds NBC? Right. Say no more.
RfkJr will get to the bottom of this.
a neurodevelopmental disorder
The chemical and vaccine companies have investigated themselves and found that they've done nothing wrong😂😂
What about chemtrails????
Wow nice cut, pick and choose the world as you wish.
Fake news on its best
RFK is working directly with those experienced doctors and researchers in doing this report.
Have an open mind and listen to his whole report before you personally attack him. This is not about who is he is nor he was, and things that he did in the paat.
He really has a point.
Wow, the news networks that are paid for by the pharmaceutical companies don’t like it when there’s negative claims about vaccines… shocking
The amount of mothers i have seen making this about themselves is disgusting. Parents demonizing children because they're not exactly what they want them to be is the real epidemic.
THEY ALREADY KNOW it's mostly from old folks having kids late in life.
NBC agreeing with CDC .. seen this before.
We elected arsonists and can't figure out why there are so many fires.
Go RFK MAHA! The pharma owned MSM is just off the wall.
This is why the pharma owned MSM and their minions are going extinct.
🦆
Go, Bobby! ❤
Two of the worse environmental toxins affecting births are not even mentioned. Alcohol use and drug use during pregnancy.
There is no "safe" amount of usage of either.
This is a great distraction. A great distraction. 😂
Interview him
If this dramatic rise is not related to food, water and other environmental factors then what? Seems obvious there is connection worth looking into but since he says it can't be true, right?
That’s Kennedy has been.. “kind of” claiming. You people are a joke.
I live right next to a factory that pumps pollution out 24/7. Many people in this town die from chronic illness and we have a ton of special needs children in this town. We all know the factory is poisoning us
He cured his own with the magic of heroin😢
