If that was true I wouldn’t be autistic, I did that like 1-3 times a month for years.

This is the man in a top medical spot in our country directing our public health policy. How can anybody on the right even look at themselves in the mirror with this disaster they created. Truly despicable to support this. People should be ashamed.

Do you really think a page about gambling is running a real quote or do you think they made up a quote to make a joke about gambling ?

I me a context is everything right? I hate the buffoon and his boss but we’ve got to be better than they are don’t we?
“That is a direct and accurate quote, but it’s crucial to understand the context, which significantly changes its meaning.
Yes, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did say that. He made the statement during a speech at a political rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, on July 8, 2015.
However, he was not advocating this as an actual cure. He was using sarcasm to make a point about what he perceives as a double standard in government and media responses to different public health issues.
Here is the full context of his remark:
“They get the shot, that night they have a fever of a hundred and three, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone. For the boy, it’s a packet of cigarettes and six hours on the blackjack table. For the girl, it’s like ‘give me the Julia Roberts movie, the chick flick, and the remote control and the bonbons’… This is a speech to a group of miners. You can’t get up and say, ‘I have a child who was damaged by a vaccine.’ They’ll look at you like you have a third eye. But if you get up and say, ‘My child got a packet of cigarettes and six hours on the blackjack table and it cured his autism,’ they’ll say, ‘Yeah, I want some of that.'”
What he meant:
Kennedy was arguing that the hypothetical scenario of a child’s autism being “cured” by cigarettes and gambling is so absurd that it would be immediately recognized as such by the public. In contrast, he believes that the link between vaccines and neurological disorders, which he claims is real, is ignored or dismissed by the same public and the authorities.
Why the quote is controversial:
Even as sarcasm, the statement was widely criticized as:
· Trivializing a serious condition: Comparing autism to a state that can be induced or cured by a night of vice is deeply offensive to many in the autistic community and their families.
· Misrepresenting science: His core argument relies on the long-debunked link between vaccines and autism, a connection thoroughly discredited by extensive scientific research.
· Using inflammatory rhetoric: The analogy was seen as a cheap and misleading way to garner attention for his anti-vaccine views.
In summary, while RFK Jr. did utter those exact words, he was using them as a sarcastic rhetorical device to criticize what he sees as a failure to acknowledge vaccine injury, not proposing it as a real cure. The remark remains one of his most frequently cited and controversial statements.”

The whole vaccines cause autism came from an English doctor who based it on two unrelated cases. He was struck off and made to leave the country when he was exposed.
