Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the NIH’s director, told reporters on April 22nd that RFK Jr.'s claim that we will know what causes Autism by September is not going to happen and instead the plan is to issue a call for proposals by September. Scientists will respond to the call with proposals, and grants from NIH will then be approved.

“I would like to have a timeline within a year, where they would start to put out the preliminary results,” he said. 

He added later: “Secretary Kennedy is enthusiastic to get the scientific process going, and I am too, so ... he’s accurately communicating that we want to get moving on this as rapidly as we can.”

Kennedy had told the president that “by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic,” but Bhattacharya said the project will take longer than that.

RFK Jr.'s optimism and desire to move quickly is understandable considering the Federal Government's regulatory agencies, paid for by taxpayers, have been heavily influenced or worse by Big Pharma, Big Sickcare, and Food Inc. for a very long time now.
