A post on X by @Nicole_Lee_Sch "Hey all of these things are examples of a eugenics playbook in action: 1. Normalizing epidemic diseases; 2. Removing proven drug therapies from market; 3. Claiming disabled people can "work out" to restore health; 4. institutionalizing ppl in "health"camps; 5. Cutting back SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program); 6. Targeting IEPs (Individualized Education Programs); 7. Refusing to track disease outbreaks; 8. Firing healthcare professionals; 9. Claiming some disabilities should be eradicated (like autism); 10. Cutting clinical trial research in progress. The current admin has done all of these in the last two weeks. You need to see it for what it is - it IS eugenics. They ARE framing disabled people as unfit for resources, education employment and care.

1. the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable...eugenics was increasingly discredited as unscientific and racially biased - especially after the adoption of its doctrines by the Nazis..

Another consequence of the communications pause, according to an NIH staffer involved with clinical trials at NIH's Clinical Center, is that agency staff cannot meet with patient groups or release newsletters or other information to recruit patients into trials. Another unknown is whether NIH researchers will still be allowed to submit papers to peer-reviewed journals.
