YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"When Secretary Kennedy (RFK) asked me to answer the question 'what is the causing the rise in autism'... That's a question that has been very difficult to get scientists to actually address," NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya tells Dr. Drew in an exclusive interview from the White House. With HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Dr. Bhattacharya is launching an independent research program where the "nation's scientists can bid for funding to study the data" so they can analyze potential links between autism and "environmental exposure, diet, the age of the parents, genetics - just an 'all of the above' approach'"
"For the first time in history, we are really, honestly asking the question."
