There is so much wrong with this statement by Health & Human Services (HHS) Secretary RFK Jr.
1) Autism isn’t a chronic disease. It isn’t even a disease.
2) Autism doesn’t lead to someone potentially developing fatal encephalitis (brain swelling) or pneumonia.
3) Autism doesn’t require urgent medical hospitalization (which measles can) & stress the healthcare system.
3) Autism doesn’t spread from person-to-person in the air.

@dalfen Two words: survivorship bias.
Oh, we only had two deaths in 20 years? Maybe that's because we had extremely high levels of public vaccination.
Oh, we have 100,000 autism diagnoses every year? Maybe that's because 1) it's become more socially acceptable to seek diagnosis for one's children or oneself, and 2) it's become less socially acceptable to treat people with autism as if they are subhuman or carriers of genetic impurity.
Just a thought.
