When you were growing up, how many kids did you know with autism? In previous generations, autism was rare. Autism used to occur in 1 in 10,000 children. Autism diagnoses began to grow nationwide in 80s and 90s. In the 200s parents became increasingly alarmed by the rapid growth of autism prevalence. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars to address autism epidemic, CDC scientist Dr. William Thompson says, "CDC is so paralyzed right now by anything related to autism. They're not doing what they should be doing because they're afraid to look for things that might be associated." Should taxpayers continue to fund CDC when it is "paralyzed" by autism? The CDC is failing our kids and our country. Autism oversight must be taken from the CDC. "Genes don't cause epidemics, environmental toxins do. Why is the CDC doing nothing to identify the environmental toxins responsible for the most cataclysmic epidemic of our era?" - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Join World Mercury Project's movement to demand autism be removed from the CDC. We need an institute that will address the childhood epidemics facing our country with real action now!
