NEW YORK, N.Y. — After recently linking autism to circumcision, a dispirited body politic is beginning to think RFK hasn’t actually found the cause of autism. The Squeaky Wheel sent a reporter into Times Square to ask people about their opinion of RFK’s research so far.
Here’s what they told us:
“It’s sad. I think there is a joke here, but this administration completes the joke before there’s anything left to satirize,“ said standup comic Seth Stevenson who told us he is both fully circumcised and autistic.
“He’s not the health expert I was expecting him to be. He sounds like a guy who confused his vaccine-skeptic reddit burner account for his male-body-enhancement reddit burner account and then came to the press booth with notes from the morning’s scroll,” said human services worker Devon Washington who is fully circumcised but not autistic.
“His research is male-centric, and he needs to consider more feminist perspectives when deciding on new crackpot causes of autism,” said activist Diana Contreras, autistic and uncircumcised.
“Joe Rogan is uncircumcised. I shouldn’t know that, but I do. I think he called Joe Rogan, and Rogan told him to say autism and circumcision are related. Mario Lopez is also uncircumcised,” said mortgage broker Christian Shaw, uncircumcised and not autistic.
“I don’t think he has it, and he’s not going to give it to us. Nobody has it, probably. It would’ve been decades ago they cut his foreskin. As for his research on autism, I have no opinion,” said investment banker Craig Murphy, circumcised and not autistic.
