The head of the department, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., announced the launch of research.
During a recent press conference, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announced the launch of research, the main goal of which is to try to establish a connection between video games, social networks, and psychotropic substances with the increased cases of mass shootings in recent years.
Mass shootings happen here every 23 hours. There are many reasons that can explain this. One of them is addiction to psychiatric drugs, which has no analogues in the world. This may be related to video games, social networks, or a number of other factors, and we are studying this at the NIH [National Institutes of Health]. We are starting research to examine the correlation and possible link between excessive use of medications in children, this cruelty, and other possible contributing factors.
There have been studies conducted repeatedly that have proven that video games do not affect people's aggression levels in any way.
Experts from various U.S. research companies blame mass shootings on high levels of poverty, racism, and easy access to firearms.
