Robert F Kennedy Jr laid out an expansive vision for collecting, sharing and analyzing US health information at a Maha event hosted by a close ally and outspoken anti-vaccine activist.
Medical and lifestyle data, from doctor’s visits to exercise, should be connected and shared with the government and independent researchers, where it can be searched by AI – including potential links between vaccines and health outcomes including autism and mortality, suggested Kennedy, the secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and a longtime vaccine skeptic.
“We need to use America’s health data to determine whether the food we eat, the chemicals we encounter, the vaccines that we’re administering, the other environmental and lifestyle exposures are contributing in one way or another to the chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy said at an event with the Maha Institute on Monday, with about two dozen people tuning into the live stream.
The Maha Institute is headed by Mark Gorton, who called himself “the boldest anti-vaxxer in the anti-vax conference” two weeks ago. The institute was co-founded by Tony Lyons, whose publishing house gave $4m to Kennedy through various Maha foundations with funding from political contributions and health-related corporations, according to reporting by the New York Times.Robert F Kennedy Jr laid out an expansive vision for collecting, sharing and analyzing US health information at a Maha event hosted by a close ally and outspoken anti-vaccine activist.

Is he gonna let Russell Brand handle the data? How about some little wet behind the ears shitstain like “Big Balls” who has no credentials, no experience, zero wisdom and no interest in a properly run democracy?

Brand, who has been part of and supported the MAHA movement launched by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is set to moderate a discussion about reforms to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
This is donnie’s idea of “sending their best”, I guess.
Russell fucking Brand? Jesus, this government is a parody of itself. Just when you think you’re inured to the idiocy, that it can’t surprise you anymore… Russell fucking Brand.
Yep. Things are really just that stupid and terrible.
The sad thing is that donnie and his accomplices are not likely to get any prison time, and they absolutely should.

Is there a way to buy calls on the accuracy and specificity of actuarial tables, and puts on the number of americans with health insurance?
Yeah, they’d give all that information to private companies to data mine us to death. Not to mention these right wingers are a bunch of eugenics nuts.
Being denied coverage or having cost escalations against pre-existing diseases is what I would be worried about.
No doubt.
LMAO. There is hope lol

Anyone else remember when Republicans were actually against the idea of getting microchipped and tracked by the government? Yeah. Good times.
I doubt they were ever really all that honest about it. Or at least not consistent. Sure, if Clinton is in power, they had fever dreams about black helicopters and things like SSNs, credit cards, UPC or RFID being the “mark of the beast” and so on.
The minute W or donnie are in charge…all those so-called “concerns” evaporated. Most of them were quite ecstatic about things like the Patriot Act and trying to get even public libraries to hand over data on their patrons, and close down Internet access from the library - at least track all network activity back to the patrons.
When Obama was in office, they immediately had all these “concerns” about “tyranny” again. Obama was gonna take all their guns just like Clinton was going to in the 90s, and like Biden or Hillary or Kamala were going to in the 2020s…
How about Nationalized Healthcare? With this proposal, we get all the negatives of loss of privacy and data sharing, without any of the payment benefits, of Nationalized Healthcare.
No, that would mean “death panels”. Because obviously the marketplace miracle of having middle men ruining health care and jacking up prices and denying claims and funneling all the money to themselves is True Freedom ™.
That’s been decimated.
