Yes, Jaffe. In the video, he was saying that mental health and civil rights advocates are the problem and that they should be left out of policy decisions.

Recent trends seem to amount to a form of social darwinism. People cut off from pain medications, medicaid forcing disabled people to work, and now involuntary mental treatment. The opioid guidelines were supposed to address an addiction crisis, yet stable and non-addicted people with major pain issues were all cut off, too, sometimes resulting in suicide. It was barbaric.

I have concerns that these trends in mental health will also be misapplied, causing a great deal of suffering. People might want to be aware of how they interact with their mental health providers as this could change things for some.

It's alarming that the media is not covering this. I wonder if there is more to this than the preoccupation with the current Twitter drama.
