Hard to believe that RFK Jr. is spreading ignorance.
RFK held a press conference today about the "unrelenting upward trend" in autism in the US. My recent @opinion.bloomberg.com is on his continued misrepresentation of the data & why we should be greatly worried about his vow to find a cause by September (gift link):
