The controversy seems to be stemmed from American's relationship with their government. Most European countries do have many different(including autism and other stuff) centralized book keeping and registries to help with monitoring and management of certain deceases and conditions. During Covid-19 UK and Turkey were able to quickly iterate their response based on the centralized data collected and most of the EU also had similar stuff and later they were able to look back into the data to see if Covid or the vaccines caused further issues down the road. IMHO vaccines are much less controversial in those societies because it's pretty easy to look ot up when a Twitter influencer claims something.

But hey, considering what happened the last few months maybe Americans have a point for their case. In most of the Europe governments collapse and streets burn for much less all the time, in US they don't appear to have a recourse for at least 4 years.

Maybe its a good idea not to give the data to government affiliated billionaires that can crunch some numbers, feed the data to a machibne and come up with an optimization solutions like "If we can get rid of those suboptimal humans we can pay less income taxes". What are you going to do if the machine tells you that if an autist isn't making x amount of money by the age y it is drain to the society and the formula suggest that a deportation yields better outcomes financially?
