Department Head, 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 aimed at establishing a link between video games, social media, psychotropic substances, and the increased cases of mass shootings in recent years.
Mass shootings happen every 23 hours in our country. There are many reasons that could explain this. One of them is addiction to psychiatric drugs, which is unparalleled in our country. It could be connections with video games, social media, 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 medication use 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.
Experts from various U.S. research companies blame mass shootings on high levels of poverty, racism, and easy access to firearms.
