YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that his agencies will identify the cause of autism by September of this year. Kennedy gave that pledge at President Trump's cabinet meeting on Thursday. This will build upon decades of research into whether genetic or environmental factors might contribute to autism. Kennedy has frequently linked autism with vaccines, which has been debunked by the scientific community.
