Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a plan Wednesday to use medical data and records from people on Medicaid and Medicare to help study autism although experts say it’s unlikely to help reveal the condition’s root causes.
The program will involve a data sharing agreement between the National Institutes of Health, the government’s health research arm, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which has access to claims data from nearly 150 million Americans across the country.
We are all hypocrites to some degree, and many of us have underlying childhood traumas that lead us to do stupid selfish shit.
That said we aren’t all trying to get a widely diagnosed disorder treated as an illness.
Autism is managed by many things, but it cannot be cured. This is bone chilling to a large set of the population.
