The US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, has been under fire for his statements about autism. A former top vaccine official, Dr Peter Marks, has criticized Kennedy for giving families false hope. Marks, who resigned from his position, believes that Kennedy's claims about finding the cause of autism by September are unrealistic. He thinks that autism is a complex issue that can't be solved so quickly.

Marks has a lot of experience in the field. He has worked with leukemia patients for many years. He knows that giving false hope can be harmful. He thinks that it's important to be supportive, but not to make promises that can't be kept. Marks has also worked on Operation Warp Speed, the initiative that developed and distributed the Covid-19 vaccines. He knows how long it takes to do proper research.

Kennedy has been pushing for a massive testing and research effort on autism. He believes that environmental toxins are the cause of the increase in autism cases. He has even suggested that vaccines could be a factor, despite many studies showing that they are not. Marks disagrees strongly with this. He thinks that vaccines are safe and effective, and that they have been studied extensively.

The debate about vaccines is not just about autism. There have been recent measles outbreaks in the US, with three deaths reported. All three people who died were not vaccinated against measles. This has led to calls for more people to get vaccinated. Kennedy has been criticized for not fully endorsing the measles vaccine. He thinks that people should get the vaccine, but he doesn't think that it should be mandatory.

Marks has blamed Kennedy and his staff for the measles deaths. He thinks that these deaths could have been prevented if more people were vaccinated. He has urged people to get vaccinated to prevent more deaths from measles. The debate about vaccines is a complex one, with many different opinions. It's important to look at the facts and make informed decisions.
