RFK Jr. draws parallel between autism and the #MeToo movement.

...the President’s HHS secretary caught some observers off guard by making reference to the #MeToo movement — while arguing parents have been ignored about autism.

“Some 40 to 70% of mothers who children with autism believe that their child was injured by a vaccine,” he said. “President Trump believes that we should be listening to these mothers instead of gaslighting and marginalize them like prior administrations. Some of our friends like to say, we should believe all women. And some of the same people have been silencing and demonizing these mothers for three decades.”
