A prominent American doctor has gone on the record to blow the whistle on a chilling practice in hospitals across the country that artificially inflated so-called “Covid deaths” during the pandemic by euthanizing patients. The “Covid protocol” was exposed by Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a board-certified Otolaryngologist and Sleep Medicine specialist. The Houston, Texas-based doctor is also the founder of BreatheMD and the author of the book “Dangerous Misinformation: The Virus, the Treatments, and the Lies.” Dr. Bowden is a senior fellow with the Independent Medical Alliance (formerly FLCCC), the founder of Americans for Health Freedom, and she serves on...

Now, a federal investigation has found that officials at the nonprofit in charge of coordinating organ donations in Kentucky ignored signs of growing alertness not only in that patient but also in dozens of other potential donors. The investigation examined about 350 cases in Kentucky over the past four years in which plans to remove organs were ultimately canceled. It found that in 73 instances, officials should have considered stopping sooner because the patients had high or improving levels of consciousness. Although the surgeries didn’t happen, the investigation said multiple patients showed signs of pain or distress while being readied...

If you think the American Medical Association (AMA) is a credible group of doctors in white lab coats, think again. The AMA is a private trade association that wields vast influence over medical practices in this country, has found a government-mandated way to line its pockets, and promotes a radical trans agenda. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. needs to eliminate the AMA money grab to protect our families. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes clinicians use to report services to health insurers have become a linchpin in the American health care system. These codes are...

As if coming up with a great baby name wasn’t hard enough. Newborns can’t even control their own movements, but that isn’t stopping New Jersey hospitals from asking parents for their baby’s preferred pronouns and sexual orientation. Inspira Health’s “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Questionnaire” requires new parents to “identify” their babies as either “Male, Female, Transgender, Gender Queer,” or “Additional gender category.”

It’s been eight years since I started to transition—and four years since I started to detransition. I realized my mistake when I was 16 years old. I’d tried to change genders before I was even a teenager... This week Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw will introduce a bill to protect kids from being forced down the dark road of gender transitioning... A huge number of US hospitals perpetrate this medical and moral monstrosity — 54, according to the medical nonprofit Do No Harm. Those hospitals gave nearly 14,000 sex-change treatments to kids between 2019 and 2023. More than 5,700 of those...

**SNIP** A popular medical monitor is the latest device produced in China to receive scrutiny for its potential cyber risks. However, it is not the only health device we should be concerned about. Experts say the proliferation of Chinese health-care devices in the U.S. medical system is a cause for concern across the entire ecosystem. The Contec CMS8000 is a popular medical monitor that tracks a patient's vital signs. The device tracks electrocardiograms, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, non-invasive blood pressure, temperature, and respiration rate. In recent months, the FDA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) both warned...

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is warning that Contec CMS8000 devices, a widely used healthcare patient monitoring device, include a backdoor that quietly sends patient data to a remote IP address and downloads and executes files on the device. Contec is a China-based company that specializes in healthcare technology, offering a range of medical devices including patient monitoring systems, diagnostic equipment, and laboratory instruments. CISA learned of the malicious behavior from an external researcher who disclosed the vulnerability to the agency. When CISA tested three Contec CMS8000 firmware packages, the researchers discovered anomalous network traffic to a...

It features the testimonies of more than 5,000 nurses, who expose how patients are being cruelly 'stripped of their dignity' and routinely suffering avoidable deaths. They say it...

Kamala Harris voiced opposition to providing religious exemptions in any federal legislation legalizing abortion nationwide in the event that such legislation is brought to her desk as president. The moment came during the vice president’s sit-down interview with NBC News’ Hallie Jackson. The network anchor asked Harris how she would advance baby-killing legislation at the federal level if elected president and Republicans control both chambers of Congress. Jackson also asked if she would be willing to make any “concessions” to get any prospective bill to her desk. Instead of answering the question, the Democrat presidential nominee pivoted to attacking President...

A nurse from Georgia allegedly stole jewelry from hospital patients she had been entrusted to take care of.

Assessment based on activism, prescriptions for puberty blockers and 'procedures' on kids.. A new database has revealed the "Dirty Dozen," the 12 "worst-offending" hospitals in America for inflicting transgender agenda injuries on children. And Mat Staver, the chief of Liberty Counsel, which has battled the leftist, and unscientific, ideology that males can be turned into females and vice versa, said, "Mutilating children for profit is criminal. It is biologically impossible to change one's gender. "The insanity of gender ideology and greed has made a mockery of the medical profession's duty to 'do no harm.' There are only two genders, and...

A report from the medical watchdog group Do No Harm shows that hospitals in the U.S. earned nearly $120 million in four years performing gender transition treatments on nearly 14,000 children under the age of 18 from 2019 to 2023.

As Madeline covered on Tuesday, Do No Harm, a healthcare watchdog, published a first-of-its-kind database exposing the major U.S. hospitals and their physicians that perform bodily mutilation procedures on minors and prescribe them chemically castrating drugs in the name of so-called "gender affirmation."Researchers at Do No Harm aggregated and analyzed thousands of insurance claims from across all 50 states, matching procedures and prescriptions with gender-related diagnostic codes to confirm cases of medical "transitioning." The shocking statistics revealed that nearly 14,000 children in the U.S. underwent some sort of "sex-change" medical intervention between 2019 and 2023, such as surgeries, puberty blockers,...

Hospitals across the U.S. are taking steps to conserve their supplies of IV fluids after Hurricane Helene struck a critical manufacturing plant belonging to the country’s biggest supplier.
