The Trump administration has retreated from a controversial plan for a national registry of people with autism just days after announcing it as part of a new health initiative that would link personal medical records to information from pharmacies and smartwatches. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health, unveiled the broad, data-driven initiative to a panel of experts Tuesday, saying it would include “national disease registries, including a new one for autism” that woul

Image by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is launching a registry tracking Americans with autism as part of a series of new studies by America's anti-vax health czar, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, to discover the "cause" of the condition. As CBS News reports, NIH director and COVID truther Jay Bhattacharya told councillors that the studies, and the so-called "disease" registry that will be integrated into them, will glean data from a wide range of sources including p

The Washington Post first reported on the development Tuesday afternoon, citing anonymous current and former federal health officials.

Over the weekend, Reuters reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a large study looking into whether vaccination can cause autism. It’s a study that will be a complete waste of time and money, given how much scientific work has already been devoted to the topic. The CDC is one of several agencies under the umbrella of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, now being run by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Last December, then President-elect Donald Trump said tha

Neurologist Suzanne O’Sullivan thinks that modern health care is overdiagnosing people but not necessarily making them healthier—and in fact, that it might be doing more harm than good. In her new book, The Age of Diagnosis, she backs this assertion with some sobering facts. For instance, between 1998 and 2018, autism diagnoses jumped by 787 percent in the UK alone; Lyme disease has an estimated 85 percent overdiagnosis rate, including in countries where it’s impossible to contract the disease;
