Gabbard Releases Declassified Files Alleging Fauci Ties To Wuhan Research

By Joseph Weber | Just the News Fauci was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during the COVID pandemic. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Friday, on her final day on the job, said she is releasing "never-before-seen" communications and documents "exposing" how Dr. Anthony Fauci provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab in China. Fauci was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic. China has said the virus jumped from animal to human at a food market near the lab, which has also conducted so-called gain of function research, which is generally regarded as manipulating a virus to gain...

GOP Senators Push DOJ Review of Fauci Pardon and Potential Prosecution

By Katherine Pugh and Amanda Head | Just the News Paul noted that Fauci's spin operation was not only necessary for political purposes, but for survival, because in Fauci's capacity as a health official, he funded research to humanize the virus and re-adapted it to make it more contagious to humans. wo top U.S. senators are urging the Trump Justice Department to challenge the legality of President Joe Biden's pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci and to pursue criminal charges against the nation's former top doc during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I think we should challenge the pardon, because it's an extraordinary pardon. It's a pardon not for a specific crime, and it's a pardon over a 10 year period. It's the same that he got the same thing Hunter Biden got," Sen. Rand Paul told...

Arapahoe County brings gun locks and overdose messaging into child welfare visits

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project Arapahoe County Child and Family Services, guns, and drugs I wanted to update something I wrote about earlier. The first link below is from January this year and gives you all the detail I could find about a program (funded by the Anschutz Family Foundation) called Safe Starts at Home. I’ll leave it to you to read the newsletter for more, but the upshot is that the Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative (FIPI) at CU Medical and Public Health Schools got grant money to develop firearm-safety and drug overdose materials (and training) to follow social workers into homes. The idea being that the material can be handed out and discussed with families when the social worker visits. At the time no one behind this ...

Children’s Hospital Restores Gender Care Services but Doctors Decline to Provide Treatment

By Jennifer Brown | The Colorado Sun Children’s Hospital Colorado was forced to resume gender-affirming care through a court order, but the doctors who work there won’t do it. Children’s Hospital Colorado said Monday that it was resuming gender-affirming care for transgender youth after it was forced to do so by a court order, but that none of its doctors are willing to actually provide the care.  The announcement means the hospital is complying with the court order and yet, transgender kids and teens will not get care from the doctors who work at Children’s TRUE Center for Gender Diversity, a clinic that provides prescriptions for hormone therapy and puberty blockers. The Aurora hospital does not perform gender-affirming surgeries for patients under 18 and never has...

Questions Mount Over NIH Oversight After Alleged Virus Smuggling Incident

By Greg Piper | Just the News "We don’t want Montana to be the next Wuhan," Big Sky Country senator says, asking inspector general to probe federal lab after RFK Jr. confirms whistleblower allegations.

Colorado Supreme Court Orders Hospital To Resume Transgender Treatments For Minors

By Michael Karlik | Colorado Politics The Colorado Supreme Court, by a 5-2 vote, ordered Children’s Hospital Colorado on Monday to resume providing certain medical services to a group of transgender plaintiffs, which it had ceased in the face of funding threats from the federal government last year. The unusual appeal before the Supreme Court stemmed from a trial judge’s rejection of a preliminary injunction to four trans plaintiffs who are minors seeking treatment from Children’s Colorado. The plaintiffs filed a class action alleging that the cessation of services based on their status violates the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act. While multiple considerations inform whether a judge should grant an injunction, the Supreme Court’s majority concluded the plaintiffs wer...

RFK Jr Launches Major Push To Reduce Antidepressant Overprescribing

By Jon Brown | The Christian Post Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a sweeping new initiative earlier this week to reduce what he characterized as the overprescription of antidepressant selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other psychotropic medications, especially for children. "Psychiatric medications have a role in care, but we will no longer treat them as the default," Kennedy said at a Monday summit on mental health and overmedicalization hosted by the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Institute in Washington, D.C. "We will treat them as one option, to be used when appropriate, with full transparency and with a clear path off when they are no longer needed." The plan being rolled out by HHS emphasiz...
