Trump Says The Spectrum Has To Be "Artificially Induced"

President Trump on Thursday said that autism must not occur naturally, citing figures inflating the spike in autism and suggesting the administration’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission could provide answers.

“When you hear 10,000, it was one in 10,000, and now it’s one in 31 for autism, I think that’s just a terrible thing. It has to be something on the outside, has to be artificially induced, has to be,” Trump said at a MAHA Commission event. “And we will not allow our public health system to be captured by the very industries it’s supposed to oversee. So we’re demanding the answers, the public is demanding the answers and that’s why we’re here.”

He noted that the administration is phasing out eight of the most common artificial food dyes, after the Food and Drug Administration announced actions last month to phase out the use of petroleum-based food dyes in U.S. food products, citing concerns over potential health impacts on children.

The MAHA Commission event unveiled the group’s new report, which pointed to four key factors it says are hurting U.S. children: ultra-processed foods, environmental chemicals, digital behavior and “overmedicalization.” The report identifies pesticides and other chemicals as potentially having harmful health impacts, but it stops short of recommending actions to limit them.

At the event, the president was sitting beside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is a prominent vaccine skeptic and has also shared his debunked theories around a link between autism and vaccines.

this trump and RFK endorsed MAHA group are insinuating ultraprocessed foods (food dyes), environmental chemicals, digital behavior, vaccines and “overmedicalization” is somehow responsible for the rise in autism diagnoses?

Is MAHA even qualified to investigate this?

They absolutely aren't, and every "result" of any "investigation" they put out should be thrown in the trash immediately.

These people aren't doing science, where you test and document the results, instead they have their own bogus conclusion from the beginning and will fudge everything to make it look like it's true.

Maybe Trump should be more worried about where his dementia is coming from.

Is this even allowed? I thought it's a breach of scientific and ethical guidelines to publish non-evidence based medical information. Can't they be taken to court?
