RFK in particular was an environmental lawyer who spent a lot of time looking into how corporations are poisoning the populace. So he is tuned to see increases in a disease and look for a culprit.
Trumps wealthy donors don't want him going after the extractive industries that are actually causing disease so they sent him on this quest to find the mythical environmental cause for autism.
He's also surrounded and supported by rich white people who think this is the most pressing "epidemic" because it effects them. They don't care about the poor black people getting poisoned in cancer Alley because they never see them, meanwhile they see karen and her autistic son who she's ashamed of every day.
Did he also used to get it wrong all the time, or is it a more recent development?
