Podcast Episode Description:
RFK Jr. is back in the headlines with more claims about autism—and once again, the science isn't on his side. In this episode, we dive into what he said, where he went wrong, and why it's so dangerous when public figures peddle misinformation. We break it all down with a blend of straight facts, sharp wit, and a fierce commitment to truth and advocacy. Because when it comes to autism, we don’t deal in conspiracy—we deal in reality. Spoiler alert: science wins every time.
