Summary

RFK Jr. is using private medical records to create a registry of people with autism in the United States.

The National Institutes of Health is helping to collect private medical records from government and commercial databases, including “prescription records from pharmacies, lab testing, and genomics records from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Indian Health Service, private insurance claims, and data from smartwatches and fitness trackers.”

Kennedy, a longtime critic of vaccination, has made the study of autism one of HHS’s primary goals. He has called autism “preventable” and claimed “he can find a cure for the condition by September.”

    It’s because the economy is going to collapse within 2 generations because Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple and all of them collect obscene amounts of wealth across every denomination of currency in the world, they pay no tax and this drives inflation by forcing ever country’s central to print more money.

    Not commenting the rest of your statements, this is not how economies work.

    We are about to enter indian level poverty in the West, along with the climate disaster

    No, you are not. You are about to show everyone else what real poverty is, though, reminding them of pre-XIX century life.

    I might agree there is a common interest of power in all this, but that’s obvious anyway, evolution, game theory and all.

      Please, do enlighten me as to how the “Global Economy” works and the tax exploits used by FAANG and the rest of the billionaire class. Then based on your model factor in the devaluation of the American Dollar and the effect of all countries in the world divesting their monetary vestments in the US from treasury bonds and explain how the American and later global economy. Do not collapse. I am all ears.

        Do not collapse.

        No. That sentence you wrote doesn’t take any effort. While “enlightening someone on *” takes a lot, especially with such attitude.

        How they surely don’t work is by “collecting of wealth”, because only real things are wealth. Production in the real world, assets in the real world, means to exchange those, mechanisms, agreements. The more removed it is from real things, the less it’s worth, when nominally it’s measured in the same amount of money. These are not interchangeable, they are parts of the same system.
