I read an article the other day (sorry I don't have a link) that purports to show a pretty strong casual relationship between the rise in autism and the average age of the father

If that were true, wouldn't there be a widespread historical effect of the last kid born to larger families to have autism?

"I'm personally not anti vax just covid vax."
"Now Kennedy is strangely silent about the mRNA death jabs."

"I'm personally not anti vax just covid vax."
You are ignoring the data and the data say that the vaccines for children are
deadly. My take is to abandon all vaccines - all without exception - until they are
proven safe and effective.
"Why do the states matter to him though?"

"Why do the states matter to him though?"
Patrick: I think it has to do with choosing to fight one war at a time in order
not to split his forces and weaken the front. And that is why he said he will
identify the cause of Autism by September.
After that he will go after the mRNA Covid vaccines. In the meantime the
states are moving against the mRNA death jabs.
‘Genes Do Not Cause Epidemics’: Kennedy Lambastes Media for Denying Autism Epidemic, Vows to Research Environmental Triggers
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today called out the National Institutes of Health for spending 10 to 20 times more on research into genetic causes of autism than environmental ones. ...
He called out the National Institutes of Health for spending 10 to 20 times more on research into genetic causes than into environmental ones, and pledged that under his leadership, that will change. He said HHS will make grants available to university scientists and others to research the environmental causes of autism.
“People will know they can research and they can follow the science no matter what it says, without any kind of fear that they’re going to be censored, that they’re going to be gaslighted, that they’re going to be silenced, or that they’re going to be delicensed.”
“This is a preventable disease,” Kennedy said. “We know it’s an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics.”
Yesterday, CNN ran the story headlined, “In first news conference as HHS secretary, Kennedy says autism is an epidemic in the US.” Specifically, Kennedy persuasively argued that autism must be caused by an “environmental toxin,” and he announced an urgent series of new studies to get to the bottom of it. Media instantly deployed its secret soldiers to discredit him.
To begin, they badly misquoted the new HHS Secretary. For mysterious reasons that historians will surely someday study, the media completely omitted Kennedy’s shocking autism statistics from the most recent CDC and state surveys. The autism rate continues increasing relentlessly, now up to 1 in 12.5 boys in the most recent California survey, which Kennedy called “an unrelenting upward trend.” That should have been the headline.
In other words, the fussy, selective media reporting misrepresented the urgency and specificity of his argument, since the California figure was a key piece of evidence Secretary Kennedy used to challenge the official ‘diagnostic’ narrative. Not only didn’t they headline that appalling statistic —the most recent data— but they whitewashed it altogether.
It gets worse.
Media also misdescribed Kennedy’s focus. He wasn’t talking about kids with quirks or trouble reading social cues, euphemistically labeled “neurodivergent.” Those are the fortunate ones. Kennedy was laser-focused on the left-behind: “these are kids who will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted,” he explained.
Autism ‘activists’ focus on the most lightly affected, but the HHS Secretary noted that an astonishing “25% of diagnosed children are nonverbal, non-toilet trained, and exhibit severe symptoms like headbanging and sensory sensitivities.” They certainly can’t advocate for themselves.
Also ignored by reporters, Kennedy made the commonsense point (2:03) that we Gen-Xers and Boomers never encountered these stratospheric numbers of profound autism. “It’s difficult to find any widely prevalent cases of full-blown autism in older generations,” he said, adding, “you can’t find these people in homes— there are no homes for them.” ...
💉 Despite Kennedy’s clear focus on profound autism (e.g., “25% of diagnosed children are nonverbal, non-toilet trained”) and his obvious appeal to parents who feel ignored, as parent Eileen Lamb posted (“those voices are too often ignored”), no corporate media articles quoted any parents or organizations supporting Kennedy’s call for more studies.
There are lots of pro-Kennedy people media could have quoted, and they are easy to find. Groups like the NCSA, which advocate for research into the causes of severe autism, and parents like @fedupmom12 on X—“It’s truly unreal that there are parents of kids with autism who don’t support Kennedy”— were completely AWOL from yesterday’s mainstream coverage. ...
Secretary Kennedy offered reporters an intriguing clue. “There’s a timeline,” he said. “Something happened. In fact, Congress ordered the EPA to tell us what year the autism epidemic began. The EPA scientists came back and said it happened in 1989. So you have to find a toxin that became ubiquitous around that time period and that affected every demographic.”
