    A swing and a miss. Note the geographic specificity and give it another go?

      Sorry, if you meant an MN that isn't part of the United States, I totally missed that.

        I was referring to the social services scandal that is rocking the state of Minnesota, and which involved fake autism diagnoses. [1] 1: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/09/24/feeding-our-future-fraud-case-autism-treatment https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/09/24/feeding-our-future-...

          Wow, they got caught and prosecuted and everything! What a scary epidemic of fake diagnoses.

            Who said it was scary? I just said there's been a spike in diagnoses. It did cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and I assume that only a fraction of that will ever be repaid by the perpetrators.

              Billions of dollars!

                The autism part was only millions, I believe.

    GP is referencing a billion dollar national news Medicaid fraud, not vaccines. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46089856 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46089856
