RFK Jr. proposes comprehensive health data collection plan at Maha event
In a recent Maha event hosted by a close ally and outspoken anti-vaccine activist, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), outlined an ambitious plan for collecting and analyzing US health data. Kennedy suggested that medical and lifestyle details, ranging from doctor's visits to exercise routines, should be connected and shared with the government and independent researchers.
This data could then be searchable by AI, potentially uncovering links between vaccines and health outcomes, including autism and mortality. The proposal comes as the US grapples with a 'chronic disease epidemic', according to Kennedy.
