10-04-2025 22:28|US health authorities are conducting a large-scale study that should in several months reveal the cause of the autism "epidemic," Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Thursday.
"We've launched a massive testing and research effort that's going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world," Kennedy said at a televised cabinet meeting chaired by President Donald Trump.
"By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic. And we'll be able to eliminate those exposures."
