The rate of autism diagnosis is really off the charts in MN these days...

GP is referencing a billion dollar national news Medicaid fraud, not vaccines.

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]

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.
