RFK Jr pushes conspiracy theories in FDA speech, prompts staff walkouts
Last week, Robert F Kennedy, Jr (RFK Jr) gave a speech at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wherein he invoked the ‘deep state’ and made dubious claims about autism.
“[But]… the deep state is real. And it’s not, you know, just George Soros and Bill Gates and a bunch of nefarious individuals sitting together in a room and plotting the, you know, the destruction of humanity,” RFK Jr told FDA staff.
Given the assertion about the ‘deep state’ and the ensuing accusation that FDA employees were ‘sock puppets’ to the industry they regulate, the HHS secretary advised staff to “take advantage” during his time at the helm of the department, vowing that the overarching health agency would not be "subject to undue influence and would listen to dissidents".
Stating that “this whole generation is damaged”, RFK Jr’s speech went on to claim that rising rates of chronic disease, allergies and other illnesses were attributable to “some environmental toxin”.
RFK Jr has since revealed that a mass "testing and research effort" on autism is underway at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and that “we will know” the cause of the “autism epidemic by September”.
In an anecdote about spending time at a New York school for individuals with disabilities when he was younger, RFK Jr claimed that he saw people with intellectual disabilities all the time, yet “never saw anybody with autism”.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
