I write to thank you. It is a rare official who, surveying his whole department, confesses to being surprised. You came into office and discovered, to your astonishment, that the government did not already hold the prescriptions, the diagnoses, and the private particulars of every citizen, filed and waiting for your perusal. That this surprised you tells us a great deal about the world you expected to inherit, and we are grateful for the candor.
You have explained that the systems are broken. I had thought them working — a record kept between a woman and her doctor, shared only with the next doctor so he might not poison her by accident. But you have the longer view. A record the Secretary cannot read is simply a record that is broken, and I thank you for correcting my smaller understanding of the word.
I'm told Nebraska showed you particular cooperation. It handed over its residents' medical particulars and then, by a coincidence so pure it ought to be studied, received eighteen million dollars — nearly twice what California and Texas got. I would not dream of connecting these two events. I note them side by side, the way one notes the weather and then one's umbrella, and draw no conclusion at all.
And the purpose, sir — this moves me most. You are spending millions to prove a thing twelve hundred studies have already failed to prove for you. A lesser man, told twelve hundred times he was mistaken, might have wondered on the twelve-hundred-and-first whether the trouble lay with him. You do not wonder. You require a larger dataset. There is a grandeur in a man who will not let the evidence have the last word.
I notice someone offered you the very data you sought, with only the names stripped out — the autism, the vaccines, all of it, minus the part that says who. And you declined. This puzzled me at first. Why refuse the answer, unless the names were the question all along? But that is my cynicism talking, and I withdraw it even as I write it here where you can see it.
So I thank you for the real-time feed, the twenty-four-hour stream, the ninety percent of us catalogued by 2028. I thank you on behalf of the woman driving home from a clinic in a state not her own, glad to know her government keeps such instantaneous track of her wellbeing. You have promised us a country where nothing private survives that you have decided is broken — and you have promised it sincerely, which is the part I cannot get past.
A scoundrel would have hidden all this. You announced it, and were surprised it was not already done.
That is the most honest thing anyone in your government has said in a year, and I thank you for it.
With the deepest respect,
A Citizen Whose Records Are, He Now Understands, Yours
And likely more important currently persecuted group that did not get mentioned :
Literally everyone undergoing gender confirmation therapies/has transitioned in the past.
Nothing good will come from giving the treason and final solution caucus access to this level of hyper granular personal data that gives Zuckerberg wet dreams.
Turning down the anonymized records is the BIGGEST fucking red flag. If all they really want is to find correlations, there's no reason they need identifying information. There's no reason they need that unless they have some nefarious shit planned.
RFK Jr. wanting access to everyone’s medical records so he can finally prove the thing he already decided is true is not science. It is conspiracy theology wearing a lab coat it found in a dumpster. The man is not looking for evidence. He is looking for a data-shaped sacrificial goat to drag onto the altar of his vaccine obsession. Also, funny how the “medical freedom” crowd gets very quiet when their guy wants a federal peek into prescriptions, diagnoses, abortions, mental health records, and children’s files. Apparently tyranny is fine when it comes with a brain worm and a Kennedy accent.
The correct quote for this is "in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard."
>>Though, curiously, one study determined that children with autism are actually less likely (84 percent) to have gotten their MMR vaccine than those without (96 percent).<<
This makes some sense. Parents who know a vaxxed person with autism are more likely to believe that the vax did it, so less likely to vax their own kids. If there is a genetic component, then parents who carry the genetic risk factors are more likely to know a person with autism, since there'd likely be one or more within the extended family.
>>Another former CDC official said that he told Kennedy there was a way to get access to the kind of information he wanted but with patients’ records de-identified — but Kennedy was not interested. <<
Okay this lets the whole thing out of the bag. Any study of the association between X and Y would be able to use de-identified data. If you are asking to identify the subjects, then you quite likely are looking for things not in the study. Such would never be approved by any university's institutional review board.
I'm assuming almost all of the people on Trump's cabinet, including the fanta facist himself, as well as his entire administration, have been vaccinated.
So, I can therefore say, vaccines cause those with a Republican power hungry gene to suffer greatly from assholeism.
you will have to pry my medical records out of my cold, dead hands , you junkie !

Why is he so f'ing obsessed with autism? Last I checked, there were other diseases.

Oh, they absolutely do have some nefarious shit planned. Midterms f*ckery, plus any other vindictive shit that Trump wants to unleash.

Nebraska...where you can watch your dog run away for three days.
Hmmm. Yeah, I'm gonna have to give a firm "No" on that one.
Are the citizens of Nebraska at all concerned? (Goes off to look it up...)
Well, Nephew Junior is getting to that age where doctors often recommend HIPAA replacements.
I was not aware that Congress had enacted such a thing.
Sorry, Booby, my medical records are currently stored off-line in a filing cabinet protected by an angry raccoon with a large penis and a knife.
The correct quote for this is "in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard."
But close enough for this Regime.
In three words: fuck this guy.
Four word corollary: with a nail-studded 2x4

“how extremely flawed the studies that said they do were” — flawed in the sense that they were fraudulent.
RFK Jr. isn't crazy. He's evil. He knows better but he does evil shit every day. He belongs in jail.
