The left took over journalism schools decades ago, and we can all plainly see the media’s bias today.  They have successfully infected medical schools as well…  My greatest fear as I observe the leftist takeover of medicine is dehumanization.  Leftist ethicists are advocating for human genetic engineering without restrictions all in the name of ‘progress.’  This technology is flirting with the field of eugenics, leading us deeper down the road to dehumanization of the human person…  Medicine is unraveling [under leftist domination of the discipline], and the crisis of legitimacy in the field has begun.  American doctors are not immune to this phenomenon, as [leftist] political worldview clearly now trumps science.  Somehow leftist scientists believe they [alone] own the realm of scientific fact.  They intend to advance their worldview, and their science has devolved into  scientism .  After all, the scientific method is about coming to a conclusion, not starting with one.  Many doctors and scientists simply capitulate.  Those who don’t?…  When you speak truth to [leftist] power… [leftist] power will silence and slander you.

Medical studies are almost always bogus

Lancet… [from the U.K. and] The NEJM and the JAMA [from the U.S.] are [all] dedicated [solely] to the leftist ideology — socialized medicine, environmentalism, all the political, social, sexual and cultural aspects of the leftist revolution.  No room for dissent and disagreement, the medical journals pick their articles and the articles always display a leftist orientation, aggressively.  [These and many other] Medical Journals do not entertain or publish ideas and comments by dissenters to the leftist canon.  That is across the board on social and societal, political, medical, scientific issues.  They keep alive, pursue and promote the Noble Lies of the left.

“Medical journals function as another propaganda tool of the Left…
Their biases are intentional and they make a difference in the cultural battle…
They lie for political reasons… designed to influence the public mindset for a leftist political agenda.”

Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science

Much of what medical researchers conclude in their studies is misleading, exaggerated, or flat-out wrong.  So why are doctors — to a striking extent — still drawing upon misinformation in their everyday practice?  Dr. John Ioannidis has spent his career challenging his peers by exposing their bad science.

NARAL Issues Laughable ‘Study’ of Abortion Media Coverage

American Medical Association:

“[A 2020 pro-abortion] ‘study’, published [as ‘science’ rather than fraudulent propaganda] by JAMA Psychiatry… found that 99% of women do not regret their abortions five years after obtaining one.  The ‘study’ also found that most women experienced emotions of relief rather than regret after abortion…  But doctors, academics and pro-life activists [responded] that the study is flawed and funded by those with a stake in the abortion movement…  Dr. Christina Francis, who is an OBGYN… noted that more than 75% of the women who were eligible to participate in the study refused to do so, and the ‘small remaining fraction that participated were more likely to be women that felt good about their abortions rather than those who didn’t, something known as selection bias… Of the 75 peer-reviewed studies that exist on abortion and mental health, nearly 70% show that women who have abortions have an increased risk of adverse mental health outcomes‘…  [Even the far-left wing magazine] Mother Jones writer Kevin Drum also pointed out that the sample included in the study ‘is self-selected, not random‘…  Better studies using actual medical data dispute the claims from the current study…  Dr. Michael New… said the study was carried out by a team of researchers affiliated with the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health…  This is a research center known for its very strong support of legal abortion.

Federal Agencies’ Nutrition And Obesity Recommendations Are Junk Science

Scientific American is telling you that the most obese subgroup in the U.S. is black women, [but] that concern about the health implications of obesity… ‘reflects the racist stigmatization of black women’s bodies‘… [rather than the real, actual health hazards of obesity].  This dumpster fire of an article perfect[ly] illustrates [modern “science’s” anti-scientific] toxic entitlement, victim mentality.
