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.”

    Eugenics seems opposite from RFK Jr’s ideas.

    I don’t think so. I think he’s really that delusional. Let’s hope his medical experiments won’t be worse than some hallucinogenic mushrooms.

      Yes it is, that’s why the reduction in social security supports, that’s why the measles outbreak. This administration is puppets, acting out word for word, Curtis Yarvin’s butterfly revolution. That is why Trump is offering awards to women with more than 5 children, that is they focussed on reducing the cost of IVF. That is why musk never shuts the fuck up about the great replacement theory. It is blindingly obvious. This whole far right movement is funded by Big Tech, America First, Ireland First, Britain First, Francais Premier. They all appeared immediately after covid, they all have money come from The Heritage Foundation. This is the most obviousl thing, they’re not even hiding it. It’s because the economy is going to collapse within 2 generations because Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple and all of them collect obscene amounts of wealth across every denomination of currency in the world, they pay no tax and this drives inflation by forcing ever country’s central to print more money. We are about to enter indian level poverty in the West, along with the climate disaster, caused by the people who do not want to acknowledge it and have used the culture war, created by Big Tech in order to ignore. How do people not understand this?

        Not commenting the rest of your statements, this is not how economies work.

        No, you are not. You are about to show everyone else what real poverty is, though, reminding them of pre-XIX century life.

        I might agree there is a common interest of power in all this, but that’s obvious anyway, evolution, game theory and all.

          Please, do enlighten me as to how the “Global Economy” works and the tax exploits used by FAANG and the rest of the billionaire class. Then based on your model factor in the devaluation of the American Dollar and the effect of all countries in the world divesting their monetary vestments in the US from treasury bonds and explain how the American and later global economy. Do not collapse. I am all ears.

            Do not collapse.

            No. That sentence you wrote doesn’t take any effort. While “enlightening someone on *” takes a lot, especially with such attitude.

            How they surely don’t work is by “collecting of wealth”, because only real things are wealth. Production in the real world, assets in the real world, means to exchange those, mechanisms, agreements. The more removed it is from real things, the less it’s worth, when nominally it’s measured in the same amount of money. These are not interchangeable, they are parts of the same system.

        Yarvin actually thinks they should be moving faster and more aggressively than they are, and he fears they might actually fail, and what it personally means for him if they do. Here’s the piece on it. He’s actually worried that his butterfly revolution may be unraveling under the weight of its own stupidity.

          That’s what the articles in this giant skinner box, controlled by the same people trying to collapse society through social media say. Yes, you are correct. Alternatively, is that article exists to make people who would otherwise revolt feel pacified and like they’re winning, so they don’t bother to protest. Social media exists as a way to allow us to vent. To see opinions that agree with ours and feel validated and things are happening. In actuality this is to make sure people DO NOT feel angry enough to mobilise in a meaningful way. As an example with legacy media, Michael Moore is not your friend, Rachel Maddow is not your friend. They exist to make you feel like people are on your side, they are multi-millionaires employed by their corporate masters to pacify and neuter the will of the working class. Read deeper my friend.
