Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vow to uncover the cause of autism by September is ludicrous. There are no fast and easy answers in science, especially when it comes to complex neurodevelopmental conditions. Moreover, Kennedy’s history of bending science to match his pet theories suggests any "answers" he finds may do more harm than good. And the biggest concern is that this initiative is a ruse to push his anti-vaccine agenda.

Moreover, Kennedy’s history of bending science to match his pet theories suggests any “answers” he finds may do more harm than good.

With the death of a second child from measles and cases in the U.S. surging past 600, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, finally stated the obvious: Vaccination is the best way to prevent the spread of the disease. It’s a message that should have come sooner from the country’s top public health official. Kennedy’s response is both too late and too confusing to effectively contain the outbreak.

Amid the turmoil at the country’s federal agencies, a disturbing pattern has emerged: Research addressing differences in the health and well-being of LGBTQ+ Americans is being acutely targeted. The Trump administration’s aim appears twofold: to deny the existence of disparities affecting nearly 1 in 10 Americans and to ensure there’s no paper trail proving the harm caused by policies that target the community.
