RFK Jr.’s reprehensible anti-vaccine crusade - Washington Examiner

Frida Ghitis: Health and Human Services secretary Kennedy said autism rates have gone from 1 in 10,000 to one in 34 .

Ghitis says Kennedy 's new justifications for “asking questions” are predicated on the lie that Americans have seen a huge spike in autism cases over the past 40 years .

She says the idea that anyone had any useful handle on the number of autistic children in the past, much less used the same criterion as we do today , is preposterous.

Frida Ghitis: Kennedy ignored numerous studies that found no connection between vaccines and autism.

Ghitis says he's right 1 in 1,000 times if he's wrong about vaccines.

She says it's reprehensible that Kennedy talks about autism as if it were polio or cancer.

She asks: Are we going to relitigate the usefulness of antibiotics? Or get back into bloodletting? Maggot therapy? Trepanning? With Kennedy , you never know..
