President Trump’s crackdown on gender ideology hasn’t stopped a major medical organization from continuing to promote child sex changes through a multi-million dollar transgender affirming training program offered by its philanthropic arm, public records show. The American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation launched an LGBTQ medical fellowship in 2021 that offers up to $750,000 grants to academic medical centers to provide “affirming” medical education that trains young doctors to become child sex-change advocates, initiate cross-sex hormones and care for sex-change surgical patients, records show. Top academic medical centers across the country, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Harvard Medical School, Vanderbilt University...

[H/T Jane Long]The following is Dr. Trozzi's introduction followed by my exerpt of the excellent article of the same name translated from the original French.A comprehensive review of peer-reviewed research uncovering potential cancer-promoting effects of mRNA injections across multiple biological pathways. I’m encouraged to see the old academic towers finally echoing the warnings many of us shared early on, often at great personal cost, about the medical assault and misrepresented injection campaigns.We must pray the perpetrators of these COVID crimes are not gearing up for a second wave of profit, this time by treating the cancers they helped cause. They...

A new taxpayer-funded study shows just how far the medical establishment will go to make sure Americans fall in line with the COVID vaccine agenda. Titled “Different Vaccination Debunking Interventions,” the newly published paper isn’t about developing safer vaccines, studying side effects, or investigating long-term risks. Instead, researchers (with significant conflicts of interest with big pharma) wanted to learn how to convince skeptical Americans to get several COVID-19 shots. The University of Pennsylvania researchers earned praise from the media for uncovering the “best ways to debunk COVID vaccine misinformation,” particularly among the vaccine hesitant. There’s a clear conflict of interest...

Months before his first class at Carlow University, Lee, a 17-year-old in Pennsylvania, found himself without a provider. On a summer day, Lee sat waiting in a doctor’s office, playing GamePigeon on his phone, telling family stories with his mom and deciding where to get dinner. It seemed like an ordinary afternoon, yet the reason for Lee’s appointment was far from ordinary. Lee, 17, was there because the UPMC health system, headquartered in Pittsburgh, had cut off the gender-affirming care he’d been receiving for two years — a change driven by a federal executive order. A pharmacy mix-up meant his...

Ben Shapiro said medical orgs must reconsider their support for transgender procedures on kids.Medical organizations that have backed irreversible transgender procedures on kids are facing pressure after a transgender-identifying man murdered two children and injured 18 others at a Catholic school in Minnesota on Wednesday.The shooter who attacked the school was identified as “Robin” Westman, a 23-year-old man who started identifying as female as a minor. Westman, who previously went by Robert, left behind a series of writings that described his regret in identifying as transgender, exhibited a hatred of Christians and Jews, and a desire to kill young kids....

Nearly 80% of US neurologists prescribing drugs for multiple sclerosis (MS) received at least one pharma industry payment, with higher volume prescribers more likely to be beneficiaries, finds a 5 year analysis of Medicare database payments, published in the open access journal BMJ Open. And those in receipt of these payments were more likely to prescribe that company’s drugs, especially if the sums involved were larger, sustained, and recent, the findings indicate. Because of the lifelong nature of MS, effective therapies are usually continued indefinitely unless a patient’s clinical response changes, explain the researchers. And MS drug prescriptions are Medicare’s...

Ben Shapiro: 'This footage is pretty catastrophic for the AMA.'The president of a major medical organization made wild claims about the benefits of transgender procedures on kids during a conversation with a Michigan lawmaker before falling back on so-called “experts,” according to video footage published by the Ben Shapiro Show on Tuesday. During a video call earlier this year, American Medical Association (AMA) President Bobby Mukkamala defended his organization’s support for transgender procedures on kids by saying they relied on what “experts” had told them. Mukkamala also claimed that puberty blockers were reversible and cited other questionable statistics about transgender...

Covid vaccine mandates and a lack of transparency by public-health experts produced many unintended effects—or what scientists call “off target” responses. One is a political turn against mRNA technology that could damage U.S. innovation and pandemic preparedness. The Health and Human Services Department recently scrapped 22 mRNA-related vaccine investments. “These vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu,” Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said. “We’re shifting that funding toward safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate.” Let’s dissect these assertions. Start with his claim that mRNA vaccines fail to protect against...

Abstract: The incidence of cancers has increased exponentially worldwide since the universal COVID-19 vaccination program began at the end of 2020. These cancers tend to present at an advanced stage, progress rapidly, and occur in younger patients. Additionally, some patients previously in remission have been reported to develop uncontrolled cancer relapses shortly after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination (usually a booster). The temporal association between these cancers and COVID-19 vaccination is undeniable. These observations have given rise to the term “turbo-cancers.” Although not a formally recognized oncologic classification, the term “turbo cancer” has gained traction among clinicians describing a pattern of...

Binary thinking won't promote progressThis piece is the first in a series exploring the foundational players in the U.S. healthcare system: payers, providers, policymakers, and the pharmaceutical industry.Ever since Bill and Hillary Clinton advanced healthcare reform in the first term of the Clinton administration, the debate about how to improve access and affordability has been politically fraught and full of pejoratives. Everyone comes to the table with opinions and preconceived notions, many of which go unchallenged. In my classroom, I encourage my business school students to look beyond headlines, rhetoric, and reductive soundbites. Tropes like "All that insurance companies care...

Eliciting disgust from conservatives, California Attorney General Rob Bonta last week joined a multi-state coalition suing the Trump Administration over its efforts to restrict so-called gender affirming care for minors.

With the second Trump term, reestablishing the rule of law is underway, but its universal realization is uncertain. Federal anti-discrimination law is clear enough, but hasn’t been enforced, or has been bizarrely interpreted to not only allow men pretending to be women to participate in women’s sports, but to suggest that was the intention of those writing such laws. Other laws have been warped not only to allow the surgical mutilation of gender confused children, but to force taxpayers to pay for the procedures and to entirely abrogate parent’s rights to direct the upbringing of their children. Kamala Harris ran...

California, 15 other states and the District of Columbia are suing the Trump administration over efforts to end gender-affirming care for people younger than 19. The lawsuit challenges a Jan. 28 executive order calling on the Justice Department to, among other things, investigate healthcare providers. California and a coalition of other liberal-led states sued the Trump administration Friday over efforts to end gender-affirming care for transgender, intersex and nonbinary children and young adults nationwide — calling them an unconstitutional attack on LGBTQ+ patients, healthcare providers and states’ rights. The lawsuit was brought by California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and officials...

Facing pressure from the Trump administration, Children’s Hospital L.A. officially ended care for transgender patients Tuesday. The closure of the renowned program signals a wider unraveling in the availability of care for trans youths across the country, experts said.

WASHINGTON—In a major move against the transgender medical industry, the Federal Trade Commission hosted a workshop Wednesday in Washington, D.C., examining the dangers of so-called gender-affirming care. The FTC’s workshop, first reported by The Daily Wire in late May, has sparked the ire of leftist activists and Democrats, who argue that the focus is inappropriate. Yet the academics, commentators, detransitioners, parents, and doctors present at the workshop argued that the transgender medical industry is pushing ideology upon American children who are not able to fully consent to these life-altering procedures. “The issue of gender medicine has shattered political boundaries,” said...

A former Pfizer scientist was subpoenaed Monday by House Republicans over allegations that senior executives at the pharma giant colluded to “deliberately slow down” clinical tests of its COVID-19 vaccine ahead of the 2020 presidential election. The House Judiciary Committee ordered Dr. Philip Dormitzer, the ex-vice president and chief scientific officer of RNA and viral vaccines for Pfizer, to appear for a deposition on July 22 after demanding answers about allegations “that senior Pfizer executives conspired to withhold public health information so as to influence the 2020 presidential election.” “To date, you have failed to voluntarily comply with our requests,”...

The Trump administration is weighing cutting off funds to hospitals that it says provide gender-related treatments for children and teenagers, a move that would sharply escalate officials’ scrutiny of such programs. The potential for increased federal scrutiny on gender-related healthcare comes after a 30-day deadline passed Saturday for nine children’s hospitals to respond to letters from Mehmet Oz, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator and celebrity physician known as Dr. Oz. The former heart surgeon and television host demanded data related to sex-reassignment surgeries, hormone therapy and puberty blockers. “President Trump has been clear: America will protect kids...

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in U.S. v. Skrmetti, upholding Tennessee’s ban on medical gender interventions for children, reflects a split in the Justices’ views of medicine: Is it about restoring patients’ health or satisfying their wants? The court held last week that the Tennessee law permissibly distinguished between different medical uses of puberty blockers and hormones for children. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts explained that medical treatments are defined not only by the drug used but by the purpose for which it is prescribed. Administering testosterone to a boy with delayed puberty is categorically different from...
