In 2004, a features editor asserted that "it is no secret we are a centre-left newspaper."
Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, has intimated that parents are to blame for their children’s autism, and that they are responsible for researching every aspect of their children’s lives that could affect their development.
“We have to recognize we are doing this to our children, and we need to put an end to it,” Kennedy said at his first press conference as health secretary.
In a recent interview with Dr Phil McGraw, Kennedy told parents to “do their own research” when it comes to vaccinating their kids, stating that scientists are still trying to understand whether the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine causes severe side effects like brain swelling (they know; it doesn’t).
“You research the baby stroller, you research the foods that they’re getting, and you need to research the medicines that they’re taking as well,” he said.
