At a screening of the documentary film "Trace Amounts," which aims to link autism with childhood vaccinations, Robert F. Kennedy recently referred to mandatory vaccination causing a "holocaust" of autism. He presumably appeared at the screening to promote his new book, "Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak" and continue his decade long support for the idea that vaccines cause autism despite the scientific community having banished the notion long ago. Kennedy later apologized for insensitively using that term "Holocaust."
