RFK Jr. Exposes a Chilling New Autism Reality

 

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. just held a press conference to respond to the CDC’s latest numbers on autism rates in the United States. The findings were impossible to ignore, and Kennedy didn’t sugarcoat just how dire the situation had become.

 

He revealed that 1 in 31 American children are now diagnosed with autism. For boys, the numbers are even worse—1 in 20.

"If you want more of something, subsidize it."

- Ronald Reagan

 

Autism Spectrum Disorder is not subsidized directly.

But a DIAGNOSIS of ASD is subsidized.

 

My kid is struggling in school. Has trouble making friends. If he's just a fairly dim child (think the left third of the bell curve), well, I just have a problem.

If he's the same kid with an ASD diagnosis, I qualify for:

- government payments for raising a disabled child

- Special Ed classes/individualized attention to try to get him up to grade level

- If he's able to use that to pull himself up toward the fat part of the bell curve, he gets 50% more time to take the SAT. Or maybe a private room and extra time to take the SAT. 

- a whole host of other "disabled" benefits, including in the future workplace

 

Do other countries that don't similarly subsidize an ASD diagnosis show a similar increase in autism rates? Even when they took are inundated with microplastics and MMR vaccines and whatever?

 

There's also a definitional problem as the Asperger's (a banned term, as Dr Asperger was apparently a Nazi) kids get lumped into ASD. Those with Asperger's often prefer to think of it as neurodiversity. In other words, not a "bad" thing, but just a different way of processing information that could make you the world's richest man (Musk) or a great success in some other field of endeavor that requires a different kind of mental processing. And there are clear genetic causes/susceptibilities, as well as other demographic effects (delayed child fathering, the old sperm thing)

 

Until these economic/incentive-based explanations and definitional problems are resolved, I prefer the simplest explanation: there is no reason to go on a wild goose chase for environmental causes or to ring the alarm bells.

RFK Jr., FDA unveil 8 harmful dyes that will soon be phased out

of US food supply — here’s what could be next

by Ryan King

 

The dye is cast Eight harmful petroleum-based synthetic dyes will soon be phased out of the American food supply, according to plans unveiled Tuesday by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary. Over the coming months, the FDA will revoke authorization for two synthetic food colorings — Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B — and collaborate with the food industry to remove six other synthetic dyes. “For the last 50 years, American children have increasingly been living in a toxic soup of synthetic chemicals,” Makary declared during the announcement at HHS Tuesday.
