In remarks laced with scientific inaccuracies, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, said on Wednesday that autism was preventable while directly contradicting researchers within his own agency on a primary driver behind rising rates of the condition in young children.

    I submitted the following freedom of information act request this morning for “ All Microsoft Teams messages, emails, truth social posts/DMs, and twitter posts/DMs by the Secretary of HHS that mention the new form “https://www.hhs.gov/protect-kids/index.html “, or include any of the following words: trans, transgender, vaccine, ADHD, whistleblower, strategy, DOGE, or autism. (Date Range for Record Search: From 01/01/2025 To 12/31/2025)”

    Once I receive the results, we can see just how ignorant he really is! Though, there’s little need for further evidence at this point for those with even a smattering of intelligence.

              Don’t want to kill your vibe, but in my country if you submit some request it will go from submitted, to received, to under review, to reviewed, to taken under consideration, to addressed, to being dealt with, to dealt with, to finished considering, to completed with the first few days and then you hear nothing for weeks or months and suddenly you get a letter with a decision (or the thing you applied for or a written decline or whatever). You end up getting something here and I hope you will too, but those status updates never seem to say much lol

      Dude dried to chainsaw a rotting whale head to take home with him.

      I believe the clinical term is “A stack of bricks short of a stack of bricks.”

            i would not be surprised if he was popping those like candy, along with all of other obvious gender affirming care the dude obviously receives.

          Don’t you love how a commitment to telling the truth has become a neurological disorder in our society?

            No shit! Fortunately, i’m in the camp that considers what i have to be an evolutionary advantage. which, certainly explains why it triggers people like bobby jr.
