The Worst Thing Trump Did on 4/22/25

We go to Brain Worm Magee again, but he just took a dark turn.

RFK Jr. has announced that as part of his plan to get the results he desires from an as-of-yet unstarted study of autism in America, he will amass a massive database of medical information on people.  This is people's PRIVATE medical information, and it does not seem he is looking for consent to get the information.  It's unclear what information or who he will target, but anyone involved with autism, whether that's a person with autism or family members of someone with autism, is on the list.  It also seems like he will be collecting information on any individual or family member of someone who is developmentally disabled. 

The plan is a comprehensive database, which would also include private medical data from Medicare and Medicaid, AND they will access your private data from pharmacies, lab testing, and genomics data, all of which is private, all of which they will not ask if they can use. 

They say the plan is to hire 10 to 20 OUTSIDE research teams to have full access to your medical data, meaning all that data will be out on the market for anyone to buy and sell.

Obviously, many people are outraged and do not want to give Brain Worm access to their private medical data, but what is shockingly quiet are the people who have constantly warned us about this sort of thing.

For 40 years, the far Right in this country has screamed about stopping government overreach in the form of databases collecting our information.  They bellow about it when a Democrat is in charge, and yet no Democrat has come close to even suggesting something 1/10th as intrusive as RFK Jr. has suggested.  Anytime you want to start screaming again, be my guest.

But many people have pointed out that RFK Jr. might actually be starting a far more sinister plan in motion.  In history, evil despots have constructed lists of people who were developmentally disabled. They did so to eventually exterminate those people.  The Trump Administration does have members who have either suggested zero government aid and assistance to the developmentally disabled, and some have even suggested "removing them," as all they do is "waste resources."  

This sounds WAY too much like something we have seen played out with dictators in the past.  Maybe we should ask what RFK Jr.'s real goal is here.
