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.
Heretic!!!!!.....lTo the gulags with you!....................
What goes around..........................
Actually no.
Let's talk about an alternative treatment for something simple like warts. Removing them can be both expensive and painful. Especially the ones on the bottom of your feet.
Now the doctor can do that or he can tell you to go take a simple over the counter medicine for a completely different condition. About 30% of the time the medicine will cause your warts to simply and painlessly go away.
That is what alternative medicine is. It is something that has a chance of working and may even be better then the sure fire treatment for you. Or it may not work for you at all.
There is no harm in trying it at first. But doctors are now wholly own but hospitals which are wholly owned by big medicine. And they do not approve of you trying something that is alternative. Let's get you in and freeze those suckers off. In about five treatment spread over a few weeks that we will charge you up the wazoo for!
For some people it is the only thing that will work. For others, totally unnecessary.
Doctors: Justice Department needs to prosecute bombers
News Media: Doctors: Justice Department needs to target “misinformation”
Anything up the wazoo is really expensive.
Well...if so they have to list possible adverse effects.
Blood clots
Balls Balsey
Lower sperm count in men
Increased bleeding during menstruation
Myocarditis
To name a few
Kind of ironic.. since most of the lib hippies were supposedly for holistic/natural remedies.
The problem with your analysis is that you lump in competing interests into “Big Medicine,” namely insurance companies which have a motivation to MINIMIZE how much money gets spent on your health, and pharmaceutical companies, which have a motivation to MAXIMIZE how much money gets spent. And somewhere in the middle are hospitals, which want to maximize billable services while minimizing their own spending.
Oh yeah, the arguments for the “Ether” made by those 100 scientists were and are derided still, but what is the real difference between Einstein’s “Ether” and “dark matter”?
Balls Balsey?....................DOES THAT MAKE YOU SOUND LIKE A 6TH GRADE GIRL IN FRONT OF A SENATE COMMITTEE?..............
Ueah... I am sure this was all organic and not planned by the DOJ at all.
Sigh. Well, it only reinforces my point that Leftists are completely and totally unaware of, immune to the effects of, and unimpacted by irony.
“Irony is lost on them.”
Yup.
Your divides are artificial.
It is like talking about "lobbying groups" and "the government" and "the media" being "competing interests". They are not. They are all run by the same people who move back and forth freely.
And none of them have your interests at heart.
That was way back when they were being told to be for holistic and natural remedies.
Now they are all in on experimental nRNA vaccines because they are being told to be for them.
Totally different...
The first to be investigated will be the AMA, for false statements that gun ownership was a health crisis.
So you can be sitting in jail for spreading misinformation long after the misinformation becomes acceptable by the Elites because it’s not about misinformation.
AMA, etc., all are Commies. Academic/Big Pharma/fed type doctors. Probably have not touched a patient in decades, none of them. Think
Fauxi.
>> Except there are no “competing interests”. Doctors work for the insurance industries. They also work for Big Pharma. And for the Big Medical conglomerates. Sometimes all at the same time. <<
See, this is how I know I’m dealing with an internet hothead. Did I say that doctors were competing interests vs the insurance companies? No, the conflicting interests I mentioned were Big Insurance v. Big Pharma. I said doctors were somewhere in between. Some work directly for HMOs and other Big Insurance entities. Others shill for Big Pharma, scandalously. Some even manage to work for both. But you wanted to attack my point, so you used elements of what I said, but not what I actually said.
