RFK Jr and Aaron Siri strongarmed the US CDC into saying that MMR might not cause autism, but "we don't know if infant vaccines" can cause autism (we now know that he personally ordered the change).
However, we already have evidence they were wrong on that too. Enter - Dr Anders Hviid.

The extent of the damage done to public health, biomedical science, and healthcare in the US in less than a year will take a generation or more to repair. This is the scale of the destruction. Let that sink in. A new president, Congress won't be enough to reverse things fully. It's that bad.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Someone stopped by my workplace in Minneapolis today to distribute whistles and zines—we’re thankful for the Chicago folks sharing their strategies and helping us prepare!
With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/

Unpopular and losing public support by the day—and with his alliances probably stretching thin—a rapidly aging Donald Trump is flailing.
He bet a lot on maintaining control that he clearly does not have.
But as he flails, he becomes more unhinged—and violent. The would be tyrant is exposed.
