PNN – In a report, the Guardian newspaper, referring to the obsolescence of old methods of eugenics through forced sterilization or mass genocides, emphasized that the current US government’s approach is to implement soft methods of eugenics by systematically making living conditions more difficult for the weaker sections of human society.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the British media outlet, the United States is engaged in “soft breeding” through indirect environmental, educational, economic, and health interventions, an approach whose true spirit is this concept: Let the weak get sick, but help the intelligent race.
The Guardian wrote: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, always recalls his youth with regret, saying that diabetes and autism were almost unknown at that time and obesity rates were much lower. On the other hand, he advocates living in harmony with nature, free from “toxic” food additives, fertilizers, cooking oils, and the most toxic chemical of all vaccines. Yet Kennedy’s shortsighted emphasis on personal responsibility as the primary driver of health means that he is at best indifferent to, and at worst welcoming of, the idea that those who fail to heed his advice may die.

Referring to the deliberate neglect of the weaker sections of society in the administration of US President Donald Trump, the article added: By avoiding discussion of education, employment, social support networks, economic status, and geographic location, which are actually social factors influencing the general health and well-being of society, Kennedy is actually implementing soft eugenics in American society.
So Kennedy’s analysis is not unique to the Trump administration. The Trump administration’s heightened excitement and desire for immigration appears to stem from a desire to shape the genetic makeup of the population in the United States and even elsewhere in the world. The reduction in foreign aid by Elon Musk, Trump’s top adviser, has also already led to an increase in child mortality and cases of AIDS and malaria in Africa.
The Guardian describes the thinking behind all of these policies as “soft emigration”: if you take away health care and life-saving services from vulnerable people, you can let nature take its course and ultimately only the fittest survive.
The report concluded by emphasizing that, in the view of Trump administration officials like Kennedy, sick people are the cause of society’s dire condition, not the system that prevents sick people from accessing healthy food and medical care.
