They will employ the new science of making s**t up! It's all RFKJr ever cared about so he should so well with this. Science is so much more enjoysble when you start with a conclusion and then pretend to prove it!

And in the end the "study" will be AI generated nonsense loaded with poor findings based on dubious methods, fake citations and "conclusions" that have long been held as true by anti-vaxxers without a shred of evidence.

And I don't expect them to produce any evidence.
