War RFK Jr.’s autism registry idea raises all kinds of red flags

RFK Jr.’s autism registry​

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who’s been facing backlash over anti-scientific, offensive and belittling remarks he made about the basic abilities of autistic people, is launching a disease registry to track Americans with autism. The news raises a host of data security concerns, in addition to questions about how Kennedy might use the data to advance his conspiratorial and harmful health agenda.


Advocates for people with autism have decried Kennedy’s recent comments that autism is a “preventable” disease that “destroys families,” and Kennedy has hired a discredited vaccine researcher to investigate debunked claims that autism and vaccines are linked. So the idea that the health secretary wants to compile a database of Americans who have a condition he seems intent on spreading falsehoods about is more than a little suspect.

CBS News reports: “Between 10 and 20 outside groups of researchers will be given grant funding and access to the records to produce Kennedy’s autism studies.”

What a boring way to be placed on a government list.

It's important to remember everyone that's genuinely upset in this thread

Well, death camps are a waste and would be the end of the forums. A zoo is a better option.

RFK Jr. is a retard. None of his plans address any of the issues making the American population unhealthy. Yes people eat a lot of processed foods. That's because the vast majority of the US population is poor and processed foods are cheap. Obesity is an economic issue. If you want to fix these issues you will need a radical overhaul of American life. That's not going to happen because rich people don't want that. They want to keep working people into early graves for nothing and them surviving on a diet of cheap processed garbage so they can help Mr. Shekelbergsteinblatt get a new yacht.

Instead, we get tism lists.

Are you going to make the tard list, frens?

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

I think the idea is that this is part of his "there's only SO MUCH crap that increased bigly in the 80s" theory from that presser a week or few back
basically the gameplan is look at the most tainted of tismos and whittle down the commonalities between them, poof there's your cause

I remember reading somewhere that the autism rates in the US started rising when women started having children later. Correlation doesn't mean causation but the same goes for vaccine induced autism. The fact is that society has been changing at a rate that far outpaces evolutionary change so this issue might not have a single smoking gun solution.

I definitely support RFK's quest to figure out the problem though. Even if he is wrong it moves our collective understanding of the human psyche forward.

Advanced paternal age has also been linked to autism. (And schizophrenia.)

 

[AnOminous]

This is kind of based. A guy whose brain was literally eaten by worms planning Aktion T4 against autists, like Hitler should have done (fuck Hans Asperger for saving these freaks).

 

[Meelo]

I don't see what the problem is. Autists love lists. I hope Autismwitz-Spergenau has a swimming pool and soccer teams like the last one did.

 

[Sneed's Feed And Seed]

So its like saying "we did a test where shooting people in the head is harmless. BTW we used blanks LOL".

Equating Brandon Lee to autism makes so much sense

Advocates for people with autism have decried Kennedy’s recent comments

" The actual autistic people also made loud screeching sounds but we're told that's just how they are normally"

Holy shit vaccines actually fucking do cause autism
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27473827/
I thought that was some bullshit by weird anti-vax conspiracy moms. I was about to WELL ACKSHUALLY you with some studies to back it up but jesus you were right. Meta study says 3/4 of autism/vaccine studies show a link between vaccines with merury and autism. There was a counter-article to this one which was actually retracted, too. Maybe I'm the retard for not realizing vaccines have mercury in them? Why the fuck would you do that in the first place? This isn't ancient China, we're not drinking mercury potions to die horrifically live forever.

The problem with this theory is two fold. 1st, all recommended routine childhood vaccinations since 2001 have been mercury free. 2nd, fewer children in the US have gotten their routine vaccinations in recent years than in decades past, when the vaccination still had mercury in them. Despite these two facts the rate of autism among children is the highest ever recorded.

It's a little hard to explain a link between vaccination and mercury in them given the above.

Rfk is right, it's a disease.

The people complaining don't have autism, they're just weirdos

Your choice of vocabulary is a bit off.

A "disease" refers to a specific illness with a known cause and identifiable symptoms. "Disorder" is a broader term for a disruption or irregularity in normal bodily function, potentially encompassing a disease but also other conditions without a specific, known cause. "Syndrome" is a group of symptoms that occur together, often indicating a particular disease or disorder, but the cause may not always be clear.

So autism is correctly defined as a "disorder" rather than a "disease".

Actual autism does gave symptoms and a known cause

The cause being unknown is the reason for the registry on which this thread is based.

America post-National Autism Control Act: 200 dollar tax stamp + background check + you can only purchase model trains made before 2020

that's it, you're on the registry

 

[AnOminous]

Imagine taking medical advice from a completely unqualified lunatic who can't even speak in English without sounding like he's dying, and on top of that, his brain was eaten by worms.

 

[parsnip]

I'm going to make a stupid jerk registry and put him on it.

 

[MadStan]

So now not only is your tax data not confidential, your medical records now aren’t either. Doesn’t anyone find this rather alarming?
