Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, May 02, 2025

National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya sent shockwaves through the autism community by announcing the creation of a "disease registry" to track autistic people. Nazi Germany used such a list to identify possibly hundreds of autistic children to be killed in experimental "euthanasia" clinics. Until the 1970s, numerous US states used registries to identify disabled people to be subjected to forced sterilization and institutionalization. A number of states still maintain lists of autists. "The history there is deeply, deeply disturbed," says Larkin Taylor-Parker, legal director of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. "It doesn't usually end well for us. It has ended in murder " industrial-scale incarceration and murder." Link: www.nih.gov
