The autism rate in the 1970s was 1 in 10,000 children. Today, 1 in 31 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This is the heartbreaking surge that no one in Washington was willing to investigate — until now!

For the first time in history, both a president and a secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) are confronting this crisis. Under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK), HHS is tearing down the walls of secrecy and shining light into the shadows Big Pharma uses to hide the truth.

RFK launched the Autism Data Science Initiative, an unprecedented program, with 50 million in funding to investigate the root causes of autism. This includes listening to the families who have been ignored for FAR TOO LONG.

But Big Pharma companies and the politicians who are funded by them want RFK silenced because he’s finally demanding answers. Some members of Congress (Republican and Democrats) want to stop RFK, discredit him, and oust him. He is a threat to their cartel.

Congress needs to hear from you NOW. If we do not show support for RFK, there is a real chance Big Pharma will push him out and we’ll be back to status quo. We need you to RUSH YOUR FAXES TODAY in support of RFK.

A new systematic review of 46 studies found evidence of an association between prenatal acetaminophen use and higher rates of autism/ADHD — especially with use of more than four weeks. This review urges caution in using prenatal acetaminophen (low dose, short time, with medical guidance).

RFK and Trump worked together to make the following progress:

  • Remove aluminum and mercury from vaccines.
  • Remove Hep B vaccine for infants/children.
  • Split and delay MMR vaccine until age 4.
  • And much more.

In addition, the FDA is suggesting Leucovorin as a potential treatment for some children with autism. This is a treatment that shows promise for some autistic kids.

But NONE of this happened until RFK took the helm and demanded the FDA take these families seriously. RFK is ensuring the evidence sees daylight — and that parents get answers, not a pharma PR.

We cannot allow Big Pharma and its allies in Congress to shut down RFK. If RFK is removed, the data dies, the research stops, the truth gets buried.

Additionally, RFK will also establish committees to study other possible causes, including VACCINES! This is a big one, and Big Pharma will do everything to stop this investigation.

Fax Congress today. Tell them you support RFK, that you want answers, and that you will not stand by while Big Pharma bullies the only HHS secretary in history willing to confront this crisis.

RFK is confronting Big Pharma’s Double-Dipping in profits — at the expense of children and families.

For decades, Johnson & Johnson made vaccines, Tylenol (via McNeil Labs, later spun off to Kenvue), and drugs like Risperidone (Risperdal) used to treat autistic children. RFK is asking why families spend over 1 billion annually on prescriptions for kids with ASD while drugmakers profit from both ends of this pipeline.

Big Pharma is terrified. Because once you start following the money, this house of cards begins to fall. That’s why they’re desperate to get RFK fired and end these investigations BEFORE the truth is exposed.

Urge Congress to help — not hurt — RFK and support removing conflicts of interest and increasing transparency in the CDC.

Right now, families with an autistic child spend about 1,384 dollars per child each year on autism-related prescriptions. That’s nearly 1 billion annually for children alone — adults cost even more (nearly 3x more per person). And yet the system keeps churning out drugs and treatments for symptoms while refusing to ask the most basic question: What causes autism?

RFK is demanding independent science, congressional oversight, and corporate accountability. That’s why they want him gone.

We must stand with RFK now.

Thank you for helping give these struggling families a voice and save the next generation from the challenges of autism.
