RFK Jr.'s Wellness Farms History
- RFK Jr. proposes "wellness farms" as alternatives for people on psychiatric drugs and with addictions, invoking a historical farm colony model.
- This model has a grim past with high death rates and abuse, highlighting the risk of repeating harmful institutional practices.
Concerns over Autism Registry
- The NIH is creating a broad autism registry consolidating data including medications, genomics, and fitness trackers under RFK Jr.'s direction.
- There's deep concern this initiative targets vulnerable populations and expands data surveillance beyond autism to psychiatric and drug use data.
