RFKjr is setting up a national autism registration and he’s already proposed to send neurodivergent people to farms. It’s pure Nazi eugenics.

ironically, he'd have to join himself.

What?! Can you provide some sources on this?

That seems to be complete nonsense. RFKjr is working to determine the cause of the increase in autism rates by linking datasets. Specifically looking into correlation with vaccines.

There has never been talk of sending neurodivergent people to farms or camps.

If that really was his objective he wouldn’t have cancelled NIH funding into research on autism. You are either ignorant or disingenuous.

I did a search, and discovered articles pointing to sending addicts to farms. I couldn't find anything similar for neurodivergent people.

Can you link something?

The article specifically states that the reason for getting this info is to link with other datasets to look for causes for the increase in autism cases.

"Linking CMS claims data with a secure real-world NIH data platform, fully compliant with privacy and security laws, will unlock landmark research into the complex factors that drive autism and chronic disease — ultimately delivering superior health outcomes to the Americans we serve," he said.

It makes no mention of farms for neurodivergent people. That’s some nonsense.

He's "looking for a cure" that he knows doesn't exist. This is eugenics.

Yah, well, this time the US is invading the US to give it some much needed ‘freedom.’
