‘Slippery slope to eugenics’: advocates reject Robert F Kennedy jnr’s national autism database in US
US health secretary says data will be used for research, but fails to address privacy concerns, potential misuses
Autism researchers and advocates in the United States are pushing back against the creation of an autism database that is meant to track the health of autistic people in a major research study.

This whole situation just makes me laugh because in order to do eugenics with that database, RFK would have to believe that autism is genetic - which it is, but which he doesn't believe.
I still don't want the Trump administration to have an autism registry, but it's such a farce that the guy who doesn't believe autism is genetic is the guy doing it.

I don't know why people still think fascists give a shit.
This shouldn't be funny, because that glaring contradiction will be ignored, and talking about it is a waste of time.
I don't think that RFK Jr. is personally a fascist. He's in league with fascists, which is the main reason why I am still heavily against the autism registry.
I think that RFK Jr. is extremely mentally ill and deluded. I think he is probably a true believer in what he says, it's just that the stuff he believes is batshit insane (and can do a lot of damage because of that).

That makes him a fascist.
If you walk into a room and sit at a table with 9 fascists, then you've got a table with 10 fascists.
He wants to do eugenics in the same way that Trump wants to deport "gang members".
The filter is going to be arbitrary and going to be used to target people that they disagree with.
This argument just furthers the stereotype that RFK Jr is rational. What he believes is as simple as what he wants to be true at any given moment. It is not bound by logic.
