If you were wondering about RFK's connection between autism and circumcisions, here is your answer.

Dr Deb K @drdebk.bsky.social · 1d

RFK Jr is such an irresponsible douche. A Danish study in (2015) where circumcisions are rare (<1% in whites & <10% Muslims) showed an association. BUT Denmark mostly stopped doing circs in 2003. Guess what? Rate of Autism still increased over next 20 yrs! www.scientificamerican.com/article/rfk-...

Studies suggesting circumcision rates are linked with autism are “riddled with flaws”
