This administration stopped a Biden era ban on shock punishment for Autistic people
These people suffer greatly in society. They are often treated horribly. Living as social outcasts.
Often trapped, unable to communicate their needs.
Save them from shocks!

FDA may finally make it illegal to shock autistic kids as punishment
The Trump administration put a Biden-era ban on ice. Will it end the practice at last?

Part 2 - the Speech
“Imagine that you see the wretched strangers…
their babies at their backs…
plodding to the ports and coasts for transportation.”
Then the turn of the blade:
If you were forced from your home,
would you be pleased to find
“a nation of such barbarians?”

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

TL;DR RFK is going to "study" different doses of the highly effective Hep B vax. Some children who receive placebo or very low doses of vax will die, but don't worry, because RFK will be enrolling only poor African children in his study, so as Trump says, "Relax, fella".
