Kennedy says HHS "launched a massive testing and research effort," involving "hundreds of scientists from around the world."

"By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic, and we'll be we'll be able to eliminate those exposures."

Science isn't known for this kind of certainty.

Especially true in red counties like mine. I admit to a little trepidation after hearing MAGA types were planning to show up (they didn't).

As passerby after passerby honked or waved in support, it dawned on me how much I'd underestimated my neighbors.

That dissolution of fear is priceless.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said β€œWe did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here β€” and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

One of the organizers of the Manhattan, Kansas protest said they estimated the crowd at 900-1,000 strong. It featured all ages, but with a LOT of seniors and disabled folks, great signs, local law enforcement support, no violence, and only a couple of counter protesters.
