The American Medical Association (AMA) sent Attorney General Merrick Garland a letter Monday calling on him to “investigate the organizations, individuals, and entities coordinating, provoking, and carrying out bomb threats and threats of personal violence against children’s hospitals and physicians across the U.S.”
“The attacks are rooted in an intentional campaign of disinformation, where a few high-profile users on social media share false and misleading information targeting individual physicians and hospitals, resulting in a rapid escalation of threats, harassment, and disruption of care across multiple jurisdictions,” the AMA, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) said in the letter. “Our organizations have called on technology companies to do more to prevent this practice on digital platforms, and we now urge your office to take swift action to investigate and prosecute all organizations, individuals, and entities responsible.”
The AMA, AAP and CHA also called on TikTok, Twitter and Meta (the parent company of Facebook and Instagram) to use “safety and hateful conduct policies” to prevent “coordinated campaigns of disinformation.”
Multiple media outlets reported hospitals across the country promoted gender transitions to minors, including ones at Vanderbilt University, the University of Virginia and the University of Wisconsin. Hospitals responded by taking down videos and websites discussing transitions for children.
“The AMA has lost all credibility,” Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw posted on Twitter.
Republican Rep. Dan Bishop of Georgia vowed to look into the letter, which he compared to one sent by the National School Board Association (NSBA) to Garland in 2021.
“I look forward to investigating if AMA is a cutout for a political op by the White House, as the NASB was,” Bishop tweeted. “Any ‘threat tags’ to be set up by FBI?”
The letter from the NSBA resulted in a backlash, prompting multiple state school board associations withdrawing from the national group.
The AMA, AAP and Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
AMA is a totally Leftist organization. Not to be trusted for anything. Not for medical care or advice, not for political advice.
Nothing.
AMA = American Marxist Alliance.................
That's misinformation?
Absolutely correct, sir.
Absolutely correct.
It boils down again to what is defined as “misleading information” and who gets to define that?
It seems we already know who gets to define it, and the definition of what “misleading information” is apparently changes on a minute-by-minute basis to benefit the same people who define it.
Absolutely.
Disgusting. I am so ashamed of my profession.
If this keeps up when will companies be held accountable for advertising?
The Marxists infiltrated the universities decades ago.
The Medical Schools were the easiest target.................

Trust the science:
Thalidomide Birth Defects Scandal – Germany and Worldwide (1950s–1960s)
The thalidomide distribution scandal of the late 1950s and early 1960s left a lasting effect on the world. Released as a sedative drug in the late 1950s, thalidomide was also found to ease the effects of morning sickness. The drug was sold from 1957, but it was withdrawn in 1962, when it was discovered that it was capable of interfering with developing fetuses and causing birth defects.
Initially, thalidomide was held to be a “wonder drug.” At the time, the use of medication during pregnancy was not thoroughly regulated. Drugs were not properly tested for the possible danger they posed to babies in the womb. Back then, scientists didn’t even think that drugs taken by a pregnant woman could harm a growing fetus. Ultimately, thousands of pregnant women took thalidomide during its five years on the market – and the effects were horrendous.
Across 46 countries, over 10,000 children were born with defects like phocomelia. This disorder commonly results in abnormalities to the arms and legs, but it can also have an impact on other parts of the body. In the UK alone, around 2,000 babies were born with birth defects resulting from thalidomide; roughly 1,000 died inside a few months, while 466 of those affected were still alive in 2010. German company the Grünenthal Group, who created the drug, issued an apology in 2012, more than 50 years after the drug first went on sale.
This is of course both absurd and pernicious.
Do these people sound like big arse whiners when they have to defend their atrocities to humanity? They can only do it by using government to censor and prosecute those who stand up to them.
They have no defense for their vaccines and their transgender surgical crimes on other humans.
Misleading? Like saying “Safe and Effective”?

Oh, look. The people who endorse mutliating children in the name of “medicine” are actually the victims! Who knew?
There’s money in castrations and building alternate parts. That is why the hospitals push it. Sick isn’t’ it?
We live in a sick world that will not get better.
A large part of this controversy is Libs of Tik Tok and others on Twitter (and I’m sure other social media) are exposing these transition facilities by using information FROM THE PROVIDERS’ OWN WEBSITES! The providers delete the website and accuse the exposers of misinformation. Then the providers create false flag bomb and death threats to made themselves the victims. It’s a good scam they have going on.
Be careful what you wish for.
