"Kennedy's insistence that autism is an epidemic and preventable disease defies scientific evidence, heralding a dangerous trend towards anti-science rhetoric."
"Warning against slashing funding for scientific agencies, nearly 2,000 scientific members emphasize the threat to vital research in areas like cancer and public health."

As they target public health funding and scientific research, concerns arise about their stances on crucial issues like autism.

This shift signals a broader war against science, fueled by misinformation and public distrust.
