Summary
RFK Jr. is using private medical records to create a registry of people with autism in the United States.
The National Institutes of Health is helping to collect private medical records from government and commercial databases, including “prescription records from pharmacies, lab testing, and genomics records from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Indian Health Service, private insurance claims, and data from smartwatches and fitness trackers.”
Kennedy, a longtime critic of vaccination, has made the study of autism one of HHS’s primary goals. He has called autism “preventable” and claimed “he can find a cure for the condition by September.”
Get ready my fellow autists, for you are the new jews, this time in magastan instead of Germany.
I don’t think they are the “new” anything… LGBT will be the new jews… I’m pretty sure autistic people will have their same place in the new reich that they did in the old one.
Holy shit, do they want to speedrun fascism?
Yes. They laid it out with Project 2025 and a staggering amount of people voted for it.
Pretty sure the staggering amount of people who voted for Trump have never heard of P2025 before the election, as FoxNews pretty much never spoke about it.
Until after the election; https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heritage-president-project-2025-liberals-doge-takes-ax-bureaucracy
I don’t buy that. I live on the other side of the planet and I know what project 2025 is and its key action points. It’s not just foreign media that were reporting on it. I also watch some US late night shows, especially when a major event like an election is about to happen. Most late night shows also discussed project 2025 at length.
Yes. There are a lot of ignorant people but I feel they choose to be ignorant.
You’re already living under fascism at this point. You just haven’t woken up yet, because they didn’t get to your door. Yet. The sooner you wake up the better.
He’s looking for the solution to the autistic people question
Next will be ADHD people… and I’m sure they all will be sent with a camp, that will help them focus… a concentration camp if you will.
A camp? Its not like he’s ever suggesting sending people to camps before. Oh wait:
See? Its not a camp, its a “wellness farm”. Aren’t you relieved now? /s
So while RFK Jr. is dangerously and stubbornly doing some wrong stuff, this at least conceptually wasn’t a horribly dangerous idea, though perhaps uselessly naive.
It was proposed as a voluntary sort of facility that someone could go do if they chose, and from how it was described, ability to leave whenever they felt like too.
Generally speaking, I view RFK Jr as dangerous due to his convictions, naivete, and belief in some gnarly conspiracy thearies, but not intentionally malicious.
A Nazi does what???
Hey now, to be fair, 99% of heroin addicts aren’t nazis. He’s like this all on his own.
OK, how are they getting consent for this from the subjects? I do basic research with tissue from patients and if they change their mind and revoke consent, we are legally obligated to destroy any remaining tissue or data.
