As part of the deal, the hospital will revoke privileges for certain doctors and establish a "de-transition clinic."

Dr. Richard Besser argued on PBS that removing COVID-19 vaccines from the recommended schedule denies access to low-income families. He emphasized that maternal vaccination provides antibodies to infants who are too young for their own shots. Besser expressed concern that the lack of a federal recommendation would end the "Vaccines for Children" program's requirement to provide the shots for free.

Protests erupted outside Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago after the facility paused gender-affirming surgeries for minors following a presidential executive order. The order restricts federal funding for such procedures, though a federal judge has temporarily blocked its implementation. Advocates argue that removing access to "top surgery" and hormones causes serious harm to transgender youth, while the hospital continues to monitor legal developments.

The "Kony 2012" campaign is being re-evaluated as a seminal experiment in viral propaganda that utilized celebrity endorsements from figures like George Clooney and Rihanna. While the video garnered hundreds of millions of views, it resulted in no fundamental policy changes or the capture of Joseph Kony. Instead, it served as a proof-of-concept for how social media could be used to mobilize mass attention toward specific geopolitical narratives.

### Pediatricians, Vaccine Schedules and Patient Dismissal

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1664-friendshoring/chapter/pediatricians-vaccine-schedules-and-patient-dismissal.md

Reports indicate that nearly two in five pediatricians dismiss families from their practices if they refuse to follow the standard CDC vaccine schedule. This trend is linked to the significant revenue generated by well-child visits and the administration of multiple vaccines simultaneously. Financial incentives and the desire to maintain high compliance rates are cited as reasons why doctors may avoid discussing vaccine risks with parents.

Blogger Andrew Sullivan published a critique of how "queer theorists" have taken over the gay rights movement and are now targeting children in schools. Sullivan argues that the movement is attempting to abolish the sex binary by encouraging toddlers and kindergarteners to choose their own pronouns and gender identities. This shift is described as a departure from the original goals of gay and lesbian acceptance.

They cite anonymous chief medical directors who fear losing their jobs for questioning the current clinical consensus.
