RFK Jr.’s Proposed Autism Registry Sparks Outrage: Fears of Eugenics and Nazi Comparisons
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is creating a medical data registry, granting select researchers access (but not download capabilities) to Medicare and Medicaid information. This initiative, spearheaded by officials with known anti-vaccine stances, includes a CDC study investigating a debunked link between vaccines and autism, despite widespread medical consensus against such a connection. The registry raises significant privacy concerns, particularly given recent HHS layoffs potentially impacting oversight. These actions are fueling concerns about the prioritization of a specific agenda over public health and data security.
