I don't think they gave up. They will just lie and do it anyway until a whistleblower says something and then they'll be like oops.

Oh wait have they backed off on the registry nonsense?!

victoriaduncan.bsky.social•65 days ago

Yup! It's not all good news, they're still researching ""treatment"" with existing data they have access to, but no new registry https://www.cbsnews.com/news/health-agencies-not-creating-autism-registry-hhs-nih/

Pushback does work, even if it isn’t perfect. We just have to keep pushing, is all.

Well, they switched it to putting together a Biden-era proposal for a chronic disease database that was shelved for being unfeasible at $50 billion, only in this case with the funding decreased by an order of magnitude ($50 million). So I bet we can get that shelved pretty easily if we wanted to.

I mean, if the Palantir script kiddies and their handlers weren't running amuck under a famously lawless and intrusive presidential administration harboring actual eugenicists, a database for chronic diseases might be a good idea. But surrender no data to these sociopaths.

Me, I'm fine with them lighting money on fire for a boondoggle.

Oh, you want to give me opportunity and motive to unmask and tell you what i REALLY THINK? Well, buckle up!

karickatlady.bsky.social•65 days ago

And there's also the annoying pattern recognition thing to know they can be lying and special interests such as history. These monsters clearly didn't think this through.

plopkin.bsky.social•65 days ago

Normal day then.

If you think they are giving up you need to rethink your pattern recognition.

Special interest super powers activated!

Is this a Patrick Henry quote?

victoriaduncan.bsky.social•65 days ago

Not on purpose! Who is that?

tornadobunnyaurora.bsky.social•64 days ago

He’s one of the delegates to the continental congress and signatories to the Declaration of Independence. The quote “ Give me Liberty or give me death !” is attributed to him .

The absolute accuracy of this post made me laugh out loud. Thank you!

stephdriver.bsky.social•65 days ago

I want to believe this is how it will play out, so badly!

victoriaduncan.bsky.social•65 days ago

This is what happened, at least on the idea of the autism registry!

sheilahatchet.bsky.social•64 days ago

We don't want no stinking registry.

#AuDHD here too.

Not the first time autistic people contributed to the fight against Nazis. In the Battle of Britain, Luftwaffe planes were tracked over land by the Royal Observer Corps. They were expert at spotting planes (*special interest*). They kicked up a fuss when the Government tried to *pay* them.
