Show Notes
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reshuffles the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee, appointing twenty-one new public members, many of whom question vaccines as a cause of autism. The committee aims to guide research spending on autism causes and related health issues. Kennedy, a vaccine critic, promises to find autisms roots, despite scientific consensus pointing to genetics and prenatal exposures. The shift raises concerns about misallocating federal funds, but supporters see it as including overlooked voices. The new chair emphasizes studying research gaps for severe autism, acknowledging strong evidence against vaccines but pushing for other triggers. A dozen advocates and ex-members launch an alternative research plan, highlighting tensions over limited resources.
