JB Pritzker Takes Steps To Protect Autistic People From RFK Jr. - The Logical Leftist



In a landmark decision, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signed an executive order aimed at protecting the privacy of individuals with autism by restricting the mass collection and sharing of autism-related data. This action responds to increasing concerns about the potential establishment of federal autism registries or databases that could lack proper legal and ethical oversight. Illinois now stands as the first state to formally limit the collection and sharing of such sensitive information without a clear legal or medical necessity. In this video, Jeff Waldorf applauds the governor's initiative while warning against the detrimental effects of vaccine-related conspiracy theories promoted by RFK Jr. and Donald Trump. Join us as we unpack the implications of this executive order for the autism community and the broader conversation about privacy and public health.
