RFK Jr: CDC Knew Vaccine Link to Autism in 1989—Covered It Up to Protect Pharma Interests

Robert F. Kennedy Jr: "In 1989... all these autoimmune diseases suddenly appeared."

"The CDC thought it may be the vaccine schedule... so they looked at one vaccine, which is the hepatitis B vaccine. They looked at kids who had gotten it in the first 30 days, and then they looked at... kids who got it later or didn't get it at all, and they compared these two groups."

"Among the kids who got it in the first 30 days, there was... a relative risk of 11.35 [for a subsequent autism diagnosis]. If you have a relative risk of two, causation is presumed... The link between smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years and getting lung cancer is a relative risk of 10. This was 11.35."

"So they knew what it was, and then they had an emergency meeting that they called... and they had all of the big panjandrums from the vaccine industry, from the pharmaceutical industry... from NIH, CDC, FDA, the WHO, the European Medicines Agency, and they all got together for two days to talk about this study."

"Somebody made a transcript of it, and that transcript was given to me... The second day they spent talking about how to hide it from the American public, and I published these things... I took a lot of heat at that point."
