Why September?

If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would just go back to groping his nanny and shooting heroin, the world would be a better place.

Back when I was a kid, we were taught that littering is bad, smoking was good, and the government was overreaching when it made us wear seatbelts to keep us from cannonballing through the front windshield in an accident.

There has always been a segment of the population that lives in ’Murica.

Now kids are (hopefully) being taught how to spot misinformation and conspiracy theories on the internet.

Robert K. Kennedy Jr.’s proclamation that autism is an “epidemic” and that we’re going to finally find out what causes it by September (I’m sorry, I can’t even type that without laughing) is just one more, albeit incredibly blatant, piece of dis- and misinformation coming from the very pinnacle of the American government.

I mean, how do people believe this?
