Misguided. It’s obvious based on these studies that the leading cause of autism are circumcisions.
In all seriousness, can the children in the room pls sit down and let the actual MDs and scientists go back to conducting scientifically sound research and show you how to *actually* interpret data

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

#CDC has been informed of another pediatric #flu death in the 2024-25 season. That makes 267 children who died from flu this season. Such a tragedy.
90% of these kids (of those for whom vax status is known) weren't vaccinated, up from 82% in 2023-24. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

BREAKING: HHS just killed a $600M Moderna contract for pandemic flu vaccines.
The platform: mRNA—the fastest we have against threats like H5N1.
The reason? RFK Jr.’s skepticism.
The risk? Deadly delays when the next pandemic hits.

RFK Jr: “The MMR vaccine that we currently use has millions of particles that were created from aborted fetal tissue, millions of DNA fragments.”
