As reported by\u00a0MedPage Today<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>RFK Jr. will address the causes of childhood chronic diseases based on \u201cunbiased science.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWe will convene representatives of all viewpoints to study the causes for the drastic rise in chronic disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the possible factors we will investigate were formally taboo or insufficiently scrutinized \u2014 the childhood vaccine schedule; electromagnetic radiation; glyphosate; other pesticides; ultra-processed foods\u2026 SSRIs [selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors] and other psychiatric drugs; PFAS [per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances]; PFOA [perfluorooctanoic acid]; microplastics \u2014 nothing is going to be off-limits.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his speech to his employees\u00a0<\/em>RFK Jr. said, \u201cLet\u2019s use protocols that we all agree on in advance and not alter the outcomes of studies when they\u2019re halfway through [because] they look inconvenient. Let\u2019s all depoliticize these issues and reestablish a common ground for action, and renew the search for existential truths with no political impediments and no preconceptions.\u201d<\/p>\n
