Trust “The Science”

Trust “The Science”, they said.

Meanwhile: 

“Authors of a landmark Alzheimer’s disease research paper published in Nature in 2006 have agreed to retract the study in response to allegations of image manipulation.”

“University of Minnesota (UMN) Twin Cities neuroscientist Karen Ashe, the paper’s senior author, acknowledged in a post on the journal discussion site PubPeer that the paper contains doctored images. The study has been cited nearly 2500 times, and would be the most cited paper ever to be retracted, according to Retraction Watch data.”

Timothy Leary’s Legacy

MAID Quackery Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 18 Comments

I’m not sure how much value there is in a Master’s degree in psychedelics and consciousness, but maybe it’s a step above a degree in unconsciousness. When socialized medicine won’t treat you, is it really that much of a bonus when the doctor can offer LSD to go along with MAID?

The program, which opens next September, will be housed in the university’s psychology department, but run in partnership with the department of classics and religious studies. Students will be able to take a broad range of courses from neuroscience to comparative mysticism.

Williams is also anticipating that those who are interested in spiritual uses will also be drawn to the program, such as practitioners who are interested in offering psychedelics for end-of-life distress and those who want to use them for traditional or Indigenous spiritual practices.

 

You Can’t Cheat Father Bell Curve

Via Instapundit;

[N]ew investigative reporting shows that the anti-meritocratic ideology of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” has even infiltrated some medical schools — to disastrous results.

These revelations come from the Washington Free Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium, who just published a remarkable exposé on the University of California, Los Angeles, medical school. It alleges that the university has systemically violated laws prohibiting race-based admission and held applicants of different races to wildly different standards, all in an effort to boost diversity, while instead producing incompetent and unqualified doctors.

More: Over 50% of UCLA med students failed standardized tests on family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, and pediatrics.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

Cronies Gain of Function Quackery 23 Comments

NY Post;

A top adviser at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) deleted records critical to uncovering the origins of COVID-19 — and used a “secret back channel” to help Dr. Anthony Fauci and a federal grantee that funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, evade transparency.

NIH senior adviser Dr. David Morens improperly conducted official government business from his private email account and solicited help from the NIH’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office to dodge records requests, according to emails revealed in a memo by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which The Post obtained Wednesday.

“[I] learned from our foia [sic] lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia’d [sic] but before the search starts,” Morens wrote in a Feb. 24, 2021, email. “Plus I deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail [sic].”

“I ask you both that NOTHING gets sent to me except to my gmail [sic],” he emphasized again in a Nov. 18, 2021, email to EcoHealth Alliance president Dr. Peter Daszak, whose organization was suspended this month from receiving federal funds for the next three years and who was himself proposed for debarment on Wednesday.

Roger Pielke Jr was at the hearing.

That there was a cover-up at NIH/NIAID is now well established. Top officials used private email addresses and perhaps burner phones to conduct official government business and to delete communications about COVD-19 origins in order to defeat FOIA requests — all of this is stated in their own words.

The huge question that this raises is — Why the cover-up?

Aaron Sibarium;

UCLA medical school’s mandatory health equity class teaches students that weight loss is a “hopeless endeavor” and that “ob*sity” is a slur “used to exact violence on fat people.”

The full syllabus has shocked prominent doctors — the former dean of Harvard Medical School.

All first year students are assigned an essay by Marquisele Mercedes, a self-described “fat liberationist,” who “describes how weight came to be pathologized and medicalized in racialized terms” and offers guidance on “resisting entrenched fat oppression,” per the syllabus.

Mercedes claims that “ob*sity” is a slur “used to exact violence on fat people”— particularly “Black, disabled, trans, poor fat people”—and offers a “fat ode to care” that students are instructed to analyze, taking note of which sections “most resonate with you.”

The assignment shocked Jeffrey Flier, the former dean of Harvard Medical School and one of the world’s foremost experts on obesity, who said the curriculum “promotes extensive and dangerous misinformation.”

UCLA “has centered this required course on a socialist/Marxist ideology that is totally inappropriate,” said @jflier, who reviewed the full syllabus and several of the assigned readings. “As a longstanding medical educator, I found this course truly shocking.”

A Catch-all Diagnosis

Climate Cult Quackery Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 32 Comments

If you thought malpractice was rife during the pandemic, just wait until the next emergency.

A B.C. doctor has captured the world’s attention by likely being the first physician to diagnose a patient with “climate change.”

Nelson-based Dr. Kyle Merritt gave the controversial diagnosis over the summer, saying the symptoms a patient in her 70s was seeing all tied back to one thing.

Those effects included heatstroke, dehydration and breathing issues. As he treated the patient, he started thinking about underlying issues. He ultimately diagnosed her with climate change.

National Post- Ontario resident who wants both a vagina and penis wins public funding for unique surgery

Ontario has been ordered to pay for unique surgery for a resident who is seeking to have a vagina constructed while leaving their penis intact.

Denying the procedure would infringe on the person’s Charter-protected right to security of the person, an Ontario court said in its ruling.

The unanimous decision by a three-member panel of judges of Ontario’s Divisional Court could expand access to “bottom surgery” for people who identify as non-binary, meaning neither fully male nor fully female.

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia

Groomers I, Napoleon Quackery 18 Comments

Never forgive.

Adult transgender clinics in England are facing a Cass-style inquiry into how they treat patients after whistleblowers raised concerns about the care they provide.

NHS England has announced that it is setting up a review of how the seven specialist services operate and deliver care after past and present staff shared misgivings privately during a previous investigation.

As a first step, NHS England will send “external quality improvement experts” into each of the clinics to gather evidence about how they care for patients, to help guide the inquiry’s direction.

The move follows the publication on Wednesday of a landmark review by Dr Hilary Cass, a former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, which recommended sweeping changes in the way that the health service treats under-18s who are unsure about their gender identity.

BACKPEDDLE HARDER BUTCHER: Labour pledges to implement the recommendations of the “Cass Review” into trans healthcare.

Pharma Pressure?

Suneel Dhand is a British physician who has been openly critical of pandemic policy in many a YouTube video and now focuses his critical eye on another common medical issue: blood pressure.

“I believe it’s absolutely ludicrous that we would have this one size fits all approach to blood pressure [of ] 120 over 80.”

“Every passing year the guidance from the medical establishment gets more and more aggressive and on many levels this is a complete money grab…”
