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.
Ignoring that is how I can tell you do not even believe what you are trying to sell me.
Umm, are you pushing censorship? Are you pushing child mutilation?
If so, to ‘Ell with you and all of your supporters.
DOJ probably prompted the AMA to do this.
Probably wrote the letter for the AMA.
This seems like the same corrupt UTEP two-step that brought soccer moms at Board of Ed meetings into the crosshairs of the DOJ Civil Rights division as the domestic terrorists du jour.
The difference is that there is evidence fir the existence of dark matter, namely, the rotational behavior of galaxies that can’t be explained by their observed mass, whereas there is no evidence for the existence of ether, and in fact there is evidence it does not exist, namely the outcome of the “aberration of light” experiments, which gave null results.
... and the Michelson-Morley experiment, which was recently repeated with more decimal places of zero.
Why is “Eye patch McCain” (h/t Tucker Carlson) upset about this ?

Well played...😋
>> Except as I pointed out, they all employ the same people. <<
No, actually they don’t. HCWs overlaps with insurers, and HCWs overlaps with pharmaceuticals, but insurers don’t overlap with pharmaceuticals. You’ve basically who make more money when you’re labelled as healthy (insurance companies), and people who make more money when you’re labelled a sick (pharmaceuticals, other manufacturers) and some people who may work for either but rarely both (doctors).
But you speak in generalities (”they ALL employ the same PEOPLE”) without specifying who employs whom, so you SOUND like you’re making a reasonable argument, but you’re not. And therein lies the difference between constructive vigilance and destructive cynicism. Vigilance is aware of the evil motives that tempt most people and beneficially seeks to remove people from their temptors, aware that otherwise, the evil people will rule. The destructive type of cynic writes off everyone as prone to evil (correctly), and therefore presumes everyone will do evil and obstruct the vigilant.
These idiots (the AMA) lost credibility with doctors decades ago and now have clearly lost all credibility.
Bell’s palsy
Is this monster's poster picture hung in their offices?
Missing the point. doctors are parading themselves now with these PC terms, as “alternatives” to evil, scientific, experiment-based medicine. Never mind all the random patients out there insisting silly things work.
So the main point is this kind of nonsense of “spreading misinformation” has been going on for years, if not decades, yet on the net no one has been clamping down on them, or pasting “banners” up telling people this might be bad information, or banning anyone who posts such things.
So there should be no reason to start now.
You can think what you want about them, but that is the point - people say and push and market what they want. It’s up to the patient to decide if it’s valid or not.
LOL
is it any coincidence he posted this next to the “sperm count” issue?
Now I’m dying to know if he really thought that’s what it’s called!
You can impugn all businesses related to medical (not “health” - a commie PC shell game trick), but it’s not necessarily so.
I have an in to the medical industry, only just retired after decades, and they’re conservative. The stories of lawyers and the problems they’ve caused would make your head spin. BTW, that includes their take on the COVID hysteria.
Don’t forget, those who push “natural” are easily as palm-greasing as any legitimate research facility, and they have zero pay-out to FDA and CDC, etc. 100% profit compared to the “establishment”.
You mean some people are pissed at Doctors who refuse to allow their State Pharmacists to prescribe off label drugs to treat Covid 19 during the pandemic? Like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine?
IMHO the Doctor Industry earned a kick in the arse.They arbitrarily ended businesses, schooling, employment, and religious institutions across the country without so much as a whimper.They insisted on oit the dirty fascists! They were and are hand wringers, pearl clutchers and lost their cool when they needed it most. All unnecessarily so.
And now they are whining about what they are getting back? Just think about how many nurses and health care workers got fired because of refusing the experimental jab......yeah, people are pissed, and the AMA deserves every hit it gets.They earned it.
