RFK Jr. Reveals Crisis “20 Times Worse Than COVID” For America’s Future


Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed an epidemic that is plaguing our nation.

He called it “20 times worse than COVID.”

Can you guess what it is?..

If you guessed the autism crisis, you’d be correct.

Over the past five decades or so, autism has risen from affecting 1 in 10,000 kids to 1 in 31.

That’s insane.

Speaking to Fox News’ Jesse Waters, RFK Jr. rightfully called autism a “crisis — 20 times worse than COVD in terms of economic, social, and moral impact. It affects our capacity to lead the world.”

Watch for yourself here:

SEC. KENNEDY: AUTISM CRISIS IS “20 TIMES WORSE THAN COVID” FOR AMERICA’S FUTURE

“Why would people not want to know the cause of autism? In 1970, it was 1 in 10,000 kids.

Today, it’s 1 in 31—and 1 in 20 boys.

In California, it’s 1 in 12 boys.

This is a crisis—20 times worse than COVID in terms of economic, social, and moral impact. It affects our capacity to lead the world.”

This isn’t the first time that RFK Jr. claimed that the COVID pandemic pales in comparison to the autism epidemic impacting our nation.

Two days ago, Kennedy told a radio show that the autism crisis “dwarfs the COVID epidemic.”

Per The New York Post:

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr is declaring a war on autism — claiming the neurodevelopmental condition is an epidemic that’s far worse than the deadly COVID-19 outbreak.

“This is an epidemic. It dwarfs the COVID epidemic and the impacts on our country because COVID killed old people,” Kennedy said Sunday on “The Cats Roundtable” radio show on WABC 770 AM.

“Autism affects children and affects them at the beginning of their lives, the beginning of their productivity,” the 71-year-old told host John Catsimatidis.

One in every 31 Americans is now diagnosed, Kennedy added, insisting that the economic cost of autism will skyrocket to $1 trillion a year by 2035.

“About 26% of them have no capacity [to live independently]. And the indications are they never will,” the HHS secretary said.

“We’re taking kids that should be healthy, that should be contributing to society … that should be … reaching their potential … and we’re injuring them very early in life. It’s an epidemic,” he said.

Independent added:

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr doubled down on his claim that autism is worse than Covid-19, which has killed more than 7 million people worldwide.

Just two days after he underscored in a previous statement that autism is worse than Covid because the virus killed “old people,” Kennedy appeared Tuesday night on Fox News and insisted that autism is “20 times worse than Covid-19, in terms of the economic impact, the social impact, the moral impact on our country.”

Earlier this month, Kennedy vowed to uncover the root cause behind the “epidemic” and announced a “massive testing and research effort.” Scientists have been working to determine the possible cause or causes of autism, beyond a genetic link, for a century. Now the health secretary has promised to have an answer by September.

“There was a wave of anger against me because I announced that we’re going to find the cause of autism,” Kennedy told Fox News’ Jesse Watters. “This is something that President Trump told me on day one: ‘I want to know what’s causing it within a year.’ And I announced how we’re going to do that.”

Two days earlier he claimed autism “dwarfs the Covid epidemic and the impacts on our country because Covid killed old people.”
