A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported a sharp increase in colon cancer cases among adults under 54. Dr. Celine Gounder explained that the US Preventive Services Task Force lowered the screening age to 45 in 2021 in response to this trend. The hosts expressed skepticism, questioning if the increase is due to expanded testing or other environmental factors that medical authorities are hesitant to address.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vows to bring major medical journals like "The Lancet" and "JAMA" into the Justice Department for participating in a "racketeering syndicate." He accuses the journals of collaborating with the pharmaceutical industry to lie about product safety. The hosts suggest Kennedy's aggressive stance against "Big Pharma" makes him a target for assassination.

### JAMA Study on Social Contagion of Mental Disorders

- **Episode:** [1758: Scream Circle](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1758-scream-circle.md)
- **Published:** 2025-04-24

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1758-scream-circle/chapter/jama-study-on-social-contagion-of-mental-disorders.md

A population-based study from Finland published in JAMA suggests that mental disorders can be transmitted through adolescent peer networks. The research followed students from 1985 to 1997, finding that having classmates with mental health diagnoses in the 9th grade increased the risk of later diagnosis. The hosts argue that modern social media "turbocharges" this social contagion, particularly among teenage girls.

A recent study published in JAMA indicates that autism rates rose significantly between 2011 and 2022, prompting calls for an independent task force to investigate environmental causes. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to highlight the correlation between the expanded childhood vaccine schedule and the rise in autism diagnoses. Media figures frequently cite the discredited Wakefield paper to dismiss these concerns, while others call for new, transparent scientific research.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1654-e-safety/chapter/heart-failure-trends-jama-cardiology-study.md

A study published in JAMA Cardiology reveals that long-standing declines in heart failure mortality have reversed, with rates increasing significantly since 2012. The most troubling spike is observed in individuals younger than 45, a trend that reportedly worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hosts suggest these statistics are being ignored by public health officials to avoid scrutinizing vaccine impacts.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1624-bub/chapter/screen-time-impact-on-toddler-sensory-development.md

A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found an association between high levels of screen time in children ages one to three and increased odds of sensory processing differences. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends zero screen time for babies under 12 months. The hosts debate the severity of these findings and the challenges parents face when using screens as a "babysitter."

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) finds that a single dose of psilocybin significantly reduces depressive symptoms. Participants reported a 42% reduction in symptoms that lasted up to six weeks, though 88% experienced side effects like nausea and headaches. The hosts speculate on the future of licensed psychedelic treatments and pharmaceutical involvement.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky testified that the COVID-19 vaccine was added to the pediatric schedule primarily to ensure coverage under the "Vaccines for Children" program for uninsured youth. Critics, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., argue the move was intended to secure permanent liability protection for manufacturers. Walensky cited 2,000 pediatric deaths as justification for the recommendation.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky responded to op-eds from former Biden administration advisors suggesting that COVID-19 is now endemic. While Walensky acknowledged the virus will likely stay with us, she maintained that the current surge requires active intervention. The discussion highlights a shift in medical journals toward treating COVID-19 like other manageable respiratory viruses.

Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) indicates that COVID-19 vaccine lotteries in states like Ohio and North Carolina had a "near zero" effect on increasing vaccination rates. Despite the million-dollar prizes and scholarships offered, vaccination trends remained stable. The hosts mock the media's reaction to the findings and the government's insistence on trying new "quippy" tactics to drive compliance.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) concluded that state-sponsored vaccine lotteries, such as Ohio's "Vax-a-Million," were completely ineffective at increasing vaccination rates. The segment also mocks New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's attempt to use free food as an incentive.

Dr. Peter McCullough details the "global suppression" of early COVID-19 treatment literature, specifically regarding ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. He notes that while his paper was eventually published in the American Journal of Medicine, he received hostile letters from institutions like Duke and McGill. He argues that the medical establishment has effectively made it "illegal" to treat outpatients.

The Colchicine trial, described as a high-quality double-blind study, was reportedly rejected by major journals like The Lancet and JAMA. In Canada and Australia, doctors face threats of license revocation or jail time for attempting to treat COVID-19 outpatients with repurposed drugs. South Africa has reportedly jailed doctors for using ivermectin.

The hosts analyze a timely study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) regarding 200 common medications that can cause depression. They suggest the media's sudden focus on ibuprofen and acid reflux meds as causes of depression is a "smokescreen" to distract from the known suicidal side effects of Chantix following the Bourdain tragedy.
