Dr. Peter Marks, the former top vaccine official at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has criticized Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for giving what he called "false hope" to families by claiming that the Trump administration will identify the cause of autism by September.
Marks, who resigned earlier this month amid mounting frustration with Kennedy's promotion of vaccine misinformation, appeared on CBS's Face the Nation to challenge Kennedy's recent assertion that a massive federal research initiative would soon pinpoint and eliminate the root causes of autism.
