My watch runs for years from a coin cell. There’s no way that I’m replacing it with an internet connected spy device that constantly needs to be charged.

The only wearable I would ever consider wearing, is something like the thing Zack Friedman of Voidstar Labs made for himself.

Revelation 13:16-17 New International Version 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Huh. No uproar from the people who believe in this shit? Weird.

Mandating Americans use ‘wearables’ for health reasons thats coming from the same party that, when asked to wear a mask during a worldwide pandemic for the public health decried government overreach, claiming it was like living in nazi germany, and even discredited Fauci over his very true claims of wearing masks helping to save lives. I truly cant wait to see what that side has to say about Junior here, gotta keep that same energy right??

A key adviser to Kennedy, Calley Means, could directly benefit from one of the campaign’s stated aims: popularizing “technology like wearables as cool, modern tools for measuring diet impact and taking control of your own health”.

Calley Means is a senior Kennedy adviser, and was hired as a special government employee to focus on food policy, according to Bloomberg. He founded a company that helps Americans get such wearable devices reimbursed tax-free through health savings accounts.

Casey Means is Calley’s sister. She also runs a healthcare start-up, although hers sells wearable devices such as continuous glucose monitors. She is Kennedy’s nominee for US surgeon general, and a healthcare entrepreneur whose business sells continuous glucose monitors – one such wearable device. Calley Means’s company also works with Casey’s company.

Due to Calley Means’s status as a special employee, he has not been forced to divest from his private business interests – a situation that has already resulted in an ethics complaint. Consumer advocates, such as the non-profit group Public Citizen, had warned such hiring practices could cause conflicts of interest. HHS did not respond to a request for comment about Calley Means’s private business interests, or his role in crafting the publicity campaign.

He can fuck right off with all his worm-brained ideas.

Sporting a wearable pump that injects worm eggs into your blood periodically

As a non American, even I can see this is just a scam to further invade privacy and the data used to get increase health insurance costs

He reminds me of the ‘precious bodily fluids’ general from Dr Strangelove.

to do what with? unless you’re going to also increase grants to nih studies for wearable devices to study and improve something involving the health system, what is the benefit besides making apple richer?
