During a cabinet meeting Tuesday, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. informed President Trump that his department has discovered what is “almost certainly” causing autism in kids.
Kennedy vowed earlier in the year to investigate and get to the bottom of what is behind the massive increase in cases that once afflicted only one in every 10,000 children, but now account for one in every 31 nationwide.
In the state of California, a shocking one in every 12.5 boys is now diagnosed as autistic, while for kids overall, it’s one in 19.
Turning to Kennedy during the meeting, Trump stated “Bobby, autism is such a tremendous horror show, what’s happening in our country and some other countries, but mostly our country. How are you doing on that?”
“We are doing very well. We will have announcements as promised in September,” Kennedy replied, adding “We’re finding certain interventions now that are clearly, almost certainly, causing autism.”
“We’re going to be able to address those in September,” he further revealed, noting that a full public announcement will be made next month.
Referring to the numbers of cases, Trump declared, “It’s not even believable that that could be. And that was one in 10,000 not so long ago. I’ve been hearing these numbers, and they get worse and worse every year. There’s got to be something.”
He continued, “I think there’s nothing—including favored nations and everything else—there’s nothing that can be… If you can find out the reason that that’s happening, and I know we’re going to do some things.”
Strongly hinting that vaccinations are behind the huge increase in cases, Trump said “I think we maybe know the reason, and I look forward to that press conference—to be with you on that press conference. That’s going to be a great thing.”

Kennedy continues to shatter the establishment narrative on the rise of autism.
Kennedy has taken direct aim at the claim that today’s rising autism rates are simply the result of better awareness or improved diagnosis.
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.

If you still believe autism rates are only rising because doctors are “getting better at diagnosing it,” Kennedy previously noted, you’d have to believe that the original researchers somehow missed nearly all the cases—98.8 percent of them.
“They went back in 2000 and found that they had missed exactly one child,” he said.
“They weren’t missing all these cases. The epidemic is real.”
He also took direct aim at the claim that today’s rising autism rates are simply the result of better awareness or improved diagnosis.

Kennedy has also revealed how autism research funding has been misdirected for years, outlining how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has pumped 10 to 20 times more money into studying genetic causes of autism than into researching environmental ones.
That, Kennedy declared, is a dead end.
“This is a preventable disease. We know it’s an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics,” he argued.
That’s why Kennedy says he’s redirecting resources toward the kind of research that’s long been neglected—into environmental factors.
“And that’s where we’re going to find the answer,” he added.
Then came one of the most infuriating parts of the press conference: Kennedy revealed how autism research funding has been misdirected for years.
