This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

One of the most joyful parts of my job is being a mentor to a wide range of young scientists. Undergrad graduate students, medical students, post-docs you name it. Being a Black woman, in translational research, there are very few of us in academic spaces. These students, find me.

I have a medical condition for which there is no good treatment, and I can say that it really sucks. The problem is that the "alternative" providers who say that they can help are either lying or wrong.

It’s human nature to not accept that and want someone to give you answers and cures. That’s how medical grifts are such a massively profitable industry.
