FAIR Canceled by the AAP
I'm sure you've heard by now that FAIR's name is mud at two of the nation's largest medical organizations. In May, we discovered that the booth we purchased to share information and network at the American Psychiatric Association conference was canceled without a specific explanation. In September, I was prevented from using my virtual pass to access the American Academy of Pediatrics Annual Conference within hours of the meeting's start. Rest assured, while FAIR's participation is restricted from these large organizations, our resolve grows to continue the work of returning medicine to one that honors the principles of the Hippocratic Oath.
Since I began serving as a leader of FAIR In Medicine, we have added nursing professionals to our Fellow list and highlighted the work of leaders in the health profession who share the same concerns and goals. We’ve presented several webinars on topics such as gender ideology and informed consent for SSRIs, the prenatal drug McKenna, the HPV vaccine, and weight loss drugs. We plan to continue this work and add more engaging content.
We would love to have you get involved to support our mission. Please contact us with questions, comments, news, or original article submissions or to join as a FAIR In Medicine Fellow.

Upcoming Events
Gender Ideology - 12/4/2024 at 8:00 AM-12:30 PM
Do No Harm will host a rally at the Supreme Court when oral arguments will be heard on the United States vs. Skrmetti case. FAIR filed an amicus brief supporting the plaintiff for this landmark case to safeguard sex-based rights. I will be a guest speaker at the rally. Join us if you will be in the area.
Informed Consent - 12/11/2024 12:00 PM -1:15 PM
Informed consent is a core ethical principle of research and healthcare. There is evidence that health professionals, scientists, and pharmaceutical companies violate this principle, contributing to the growth of public distrust. Join me and Roger K. McFillin, Psy.D., ABPP as we take a deeper dive into the effects of antidepressant medications. Stay tuned to our social media for registration and event details.
Trending News
Fellow News
Richard T. Bosshardt, MD, shared his thoughts about how the American College of Surgeons rebranded its DEI initiatives after the SCOTUS ruling on affirmative action. Originally published in the City Journal, his article was later picked up by National Review.
Pediatricians Place Politics Above Scientific Evidence
Several months ago, I wrote about released court documents showing how the Biden administration’s Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine pressured WPATH to remove its recommended minimum age for surgical transition. We have now learned that four American Academy of Pediatrics gender pediatricians ultimately influenced WPATH’s decision to change its procedure recommendations against the available evidence. We also discovered that data showing that puberty blockers lack efficacy in the treatment of gender dysphoria was not published because of fear that it might benefit contrarians in the field. How are we supposed to trust the science if the “experts” ignore the science and place political ideology over evidence?
Skeptical Alzheimer’s Data
If we didn’t already have enough reason to be skeptical of the nation’s health “experts,” details recently published allege falsified research for Alzheimer’s treatment. The investigation began more than a year ago, but recently, the NIH investigation concluded, and this thread on X.com lists the top scientists implicated in this scandal. The fallout from this revelation will have long-lasting and far-reaching impacts on the scientific, pharmaceutical, and medical industries worldwide. It gives the public and skeptical professionals more ammunition to distrust the system that is supposed to be the foundation of knowledge guiding our healthcare.
New DEI Medical School Caves To Criticism
The diversity program at what will become Canada's newest medical school will not be very inclusive.
The Toronto Metropolitan University School of Medicine is set to open in 2025. The website initially boasted three new admissions tracks exclusively for "equity-deserving groups" and stated that most applicants would be accepted from these groups. However, in response to public pressure, the website no longer lists the 75% equity quota.
Canadians are encouraged to contact their elected officials at the federal and provincial levels to raise their concerns about potential harm from such an exclusive admissions policy.
Puberty Blockers and Surgeries for Children With Gender Dysphoria
Spokespeople at children’s hospitals throughout the nation denied providing medical and surgical treatments for minors with gender dysphoria. Well, the claims data says otherwise. The medical advocacy organization Do No Harm recently released the StopTheHarm Database, which includes an interactive map of US hospitals that perform "gender-affirming care" on children.
