RFK Jr. Promises Autism Breakthrough, Fires Science Squad
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the vaccine-claiming, environmental-skeptic HHS boss, vowed to crack autism's mystery with a $50 million research initiative — despite cutting funding from 50+ studies and axing Erin McCanlies' labor of 20 years. McCanlies, baffled, calls out 'That's exactly what I've been doing!' while Kennedy tells Tucker Carlson 'We need to stop trusting the experts.' Autism scientists warn his initiative might cook the data to blame vaccines and slam his disregard for decades of research. So much for 'leaving no stone unturned,' unless it's the ones with real science underneath.

Nothing screams scientific progress like firing your own autism researchers while claiming you're about to solve autism. RFK Jr.: Bringing the ‘trust experts’ vibe to Tucker Carlson and budget cuts to real science since forever.
RFK Jr. shutting down autism labs but promising to 'get real studies done' is like Gordon Ramsay closing kitchens while announcing his new Michelin star plan.
Imagine telling people 'We need to stop trusting experts' while holding the HHS megaphone. RFK Jr. just made anti-vax conspiracy-chic official government policy.
