    Reminder the Nazis didn’t just target Jewish people, only half the Holocaust victims were Jewish.

    They also targeted LGBT and people with both mental and physical impairments.

    It’s also important to remember Germany is a younger country than America, and Hitler was open publicly that America inspired him.

    When they say “make America great again” they want the American that inspired Hitler

    Right. This from the guy who thinks neurodivergent people and people with mental health or addiction issues should be sent to rural “wellness farms” to detox, work hard and be “re-parented” until they’re ready to “fit in” with “society”.

    I’m sure that nothing bad will happen once they get their hands on that data, that it will be perfectly anonymized, won’t be used in other “research” or sent on to other departments, we should just trust them …

      You seem to be suggesting that the united states government is untrustworthy and doesn’t care about it citizens.

      But that’s not what I saw on Fox news!

    So, another clear sign that these guys started with their beliefs (in this case that vaccines cause autism) and are now desperately scrambling to find evidence to “back it up” because they didn’t have sufficient evidence to begin with. Not that evidence will change their minds regardless.

    Exactly backward from how science works. But in line with religion, so.

      “We can’t manipulate this data to support our preconceived notions. Clearly the problem is that we don’t have enough data.”

        And to be fair (which I hate doing with these monsters but which rational thought demands) it’s not unreasonable to start your research by forming a hypothesis before you’ve collected sufficient data to actually back it up. That’s the usual pattern. But that’s the start of research. You shouldn’t be making public policy based on that hypothesis yet.

    The state organizations followed up with a pitch in October for a new surveillance system that would give the federal health department “real-time, 24-hour data feeds on opioid and chronic disease trends” within a year, according to a presentation reviewed by KFF Health News. Under the proposal, HHS would get data from 90% of the population’s medical records by 2028.’

    After 31 years at the CDC overseeing public health surveillance, emerging infectious diseases, and the influenza divisions, Jernigan thought the solution was simple. The secretary could work with researchers to obtain huge databases pulled from health systems nationwide and maintained by major electronic health records companies.

    Those databases are deidentified, meaning they don’t include patient names or other information that can identify individuals. Jernigan said Kennedy didn’t seem interested.’

    Wants all of our medical data, but only interested if PII is included–imagine that.

    Real talk, what is the obsession with autism? It’s not like 50% of the population have raging autism. Why is this the hill that worm brained freak wants to die on?

    Since we’re making up science here’s my thought:

    It is because parents aren’t able to spend enough nurturing time with kids before they’re forced into structured environments like daycare and pre k. The “proof” of this is the number of cases has risen since the two income household has become a thing.

    For sure not just trying to confirm an existing bias too. I bet most people with ASD have had vaccines, most probably also eat fast food, watch TV, and breath air…

    And then the dumb clown will dismiss all the evidence that vaccines don’t cause autism so he can continue being a stupid fuckup while grifting the equally dumb right wing MAGAts…

      The real problem is the changelings. Used to be you had a kid, suddenly the kid started behaving strange, and you knew it was because the fairies took your kid and replaced them with a changeling.

      What I want to know is, what the hell did they do to all the changelings? You never hear about them anymore. Big Autism wiped them out!

        They’re literally spouting Nazi propaganda that was my inspired by how America used to imprison and chemically sterilize people with autism…
