How Did the CDC Fail on COVID Information and Messaging? Krystal and Saagar Count some of the Ways . . .

How did the CDC fail the American people?  The CDC failed in many ways. Krystal and Saagar of Breaking Points review some of the main ways the CDC failed us and it is downright embarrassing. They applaud the CDC's willingness to finally decide to evaluate its many failures, but these failures are numerous and embarrassing.

To the extent that Americans (like me) have substantially lost trust in the CDC (no and in the future), the CDC has caused this damage. As Krystal Ball mentions, it was not the CDC's job to psychoanalyze Americans and try to manage our emotions. We wanted and needed straight facts, and that is where the CDC failed abysmally. They should have assumed that, by and large, Americans "can handle the unvarnished facts." Some of the main failures of the CDC:

A) Does the infection spread by surface contamination (no) or only airborne viral particles (yes). Not until May 2021 did the CDC acknowledge the basic fact that the virus was spread by airborne transmission. This was mid-vaccination.

B) whether Americans should buy or use masks. In Feb 2020, Surgeon General told the public to stop buying masks because they were allegedly not effective for the general public.  Even though health care workers needed masks.  This was absurd, oxymoronic and insane messaging that caused Americans to lose trust in the CDC.  The CDC later failed to acknowledge that some kinds of masks are essentially useless.

C) Testing.  The U.S. government refused to allow Americans to use effective and available testing because there bureaucracy of the CDC did not approve them.  We didn't have tests available until more than a year after tests were available in South Korea and other countries.  Americans were forced to "fly blind," according to Krystal.

There are many many other examples. For instance, whether lockdowns are effective.  Whether vaccination protects people from future infection and/or protects people from spreading the infection. Further, there CDC covered up the colossal risk factor of obesity. Excellent discussion.

Doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital Explain How to Detect Children of One Sex who are Really of the Other Sex

Dr. Jeremi Carswell of Boston Children's Hospital explains the warning signs: Your girl might be a boy if that girl tries to stand to urinate or plays with the "opposite gender" toys. In other words, we need to vigorously engaging in the kinds of sexual stereotypes that we, as a country, have spent decades trying to demolish.

Even more jaw dropping, these kids often know they are in the wrong body when they are still babies, from the "minute they were born," Dr. Carswell says. She doesn't say whether these parents (or, when they become teenagers, peer groups of these kids or activist counselors) are encouraging their kids to think these thoughts.

Dr. Carswell tells us these things as the pleasant music plays in the background. She mentions the "treatment" given to these children/teenagers, but doesn't describe it.

These patients can be as young as 2 or 3 years old, according to Kerry McGregor Psyd at Boston Children's Hospital:

Why Tavistock Was Shut Down

This is a brand new insider's account about the closing of the British gender-affirming "treatment" center, Tavistock. Seventeen years after there initial complaints, the authorities finally act. How many hundreds of lawsuits are about to be filed for the damage done to vulnerable children at this "treatment" center in furtherance of gender ideology?

By the way, it's been almost a week since it was announced that Tavistock would be shut down because children are being harmed. Despite the significance of this shut-down and the fact that gender ideology is largely to blame, you won't find one word about the sudden closing of Tavistock in the New York Times, NPR, Washington Post or MSNBC.

Here's horrifying insider account of what has been happening at Tavistock for more than a decade. The article, written by a nurse named Sue Evans, was published at the Substack of Bari Weiss, Common Sense.

How Tavistock Came Tumbling Down. I was a nurse working on a team that recklessly prescribed puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to kids. I blew the whistle in 2005. Now the government is finally listening.

Pediatrician Organization Seeks to Shut Down Transgender Conversation

I recently wrote about one of the biggest red flags of all:  Those who seek to shut down conversation on important topics.  Now this news regarding efforts by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to shut down conversation regarding the proper treatment for those seeking advice and treatment for transgender issues.

[US BREAKING NEWS: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is suppressing support for Resolution 27, a call by member pediatricians for "rigorous systematic review of evidence and policy update for management of pediatric gender dysphoria". Our response].  

Here is an excerpt from Genspect's open letter to AAP:

Having a combative teenager who urgently insists on something or makes risky choices is not a new development for any parent of an adolescent. What is new is that professionals to whom we have entrusted our kids, rather than safeguarding them from harm and helping heal parental-child rifts so common in teen years, are encouraging our kids to act on their risky, impulsive decisions with irreversible consequences.
