An unparalleled attempt to amass sensitive medical data for millions of Americans, done at a breakneck pace to meet unrealistic deadlines decided on by an HHS secretary with no qualifications in medicine or science.
The current administrations security track record to date is less than stellar, as evidenced by recent DoD/Pentagon lapses. It's hard to have any confidence that a rushed job from HHS will be any better implemented.

Yup. Even if they perfectly secure the data and there’s somehow no grift involved, this is a nonsense study led by an idiot who has no credibility or capability to interpret any of the data he sees in the first place.
I’m not sure if it’s a comfort that I think he truly believes he’s helping, or if that makes it more terrifying that someone this clearly and obviously incompetent is in appointed leadership.

Why is that freak so fixated on autism?
Is autism even something that poses a Top 10 medical issue to society?
Baffles me.

It somehow became the bete noir of anti-vaxxers, tracing back to faked research in 1998. [0] In order for them to maximize the villainy of vaccines, they have to maximize the disablement of whatever group they claim are victims.
Why they act that way, why they need something to blame something on vaccines, and why autism happens to be the target... well, that's a much longer story that probably involves psychology papers.
