21 Canadian doctors demand review of transgender drugs, surgeries for children

From LifeSiteNews
‘Hormone therapy and surgeries can lead to chronic pain, incontinence, sterility, and more,’ the doctors warned. ‘They are permanent and irreversible.’
21 Canadian doctors have signed a letter calling for a review of the dangerous gender “transitioning” drugs and surgeries given to children.
In a May 14 letter initiated by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, 14 Canadian doctors voiced their concerns over the increasing number of children being prescribed irreversible drugs and medical interventions in an attempt to “transition” them from one sex to the other. Since publication, seven more doctors have added their names to the document, totaling 21.
We “feel it is vital for the public to know that many—and perhaps most—physicians believe there must be restrictions on gender therapies that permanently change a minor’s body,” the doctors wrote.
“Many Canadians are likely unaware that similar restrictive policies are already in place in other medically advanced countries, like Britain and several EU member states,” the doctors explained, also referencing the U.S. new restrictions under President Donald Trump.
The letter pointed to the U.K.’s Cass Review, which exposed the dangers of “transitioning” children, including with mutilating pharmaceutical drugs and surgeries. The review has led government agencies to rethink their transgender policies.
“Hormone therapy and surgeries can lead to chronic pain, incontinence, sterility, and more,” the doctors warned. “They are permanent and irreversible.”
The doctors praised Alberta for its new legislation preventing minors from taking irreversible gender transitioning drugs or surgeries.
The letter revealed that while media and medical corporations have convinced Canadians that doctors approve of gender-transitioning drugs and surgeries, this is not the case.
According to the doctors, while the media has vilified Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for her legislation, many doctors support her move but are scared to speak out for fear of being cancelled or losing their license.
“It is hard to know what percentage of physicians oppose ‘gender-affirming care ‘for minors because many are afraid to speak their minds in a climate where any dissent is couched as ‘transphobia,’” the doctors explained.
As a result, large medical corporations, such as the Alberta Medical Association (AMA), Canadian Pediatric Society (CPS), and the Canadian Medical Association (CMA), speak on behalf of doctors, leaving the false impression that gender transition interventions are approved by the medical community.
“Physicians who speak out have been subject to investigations and penalties by regulatory organizations, particularly after the passing of federal Bill C-4 in 2022, which potentially makes it a criminal offence to refuse support of a child’s belief that he or she is transgender,” the letter continued.
“In 2025, one needs to take statements from physicians’ groups with a grain of salt,” the doctors noted.
“So-called ‘gender-affirming care’ has proven risks and harms, but unproven benefits,” the letter declared. “It is not ‘life-saving,’ but it is permanently life-altering.”
“We are 14 of the many physicians who strongly believe that minors should not be allowed to make such decisions. The self-proclaimed ‘experts’ do not speak for us,” the letter concluded.
The doctors pointed out that Canada is one of the only countries to maintain that gender-transiting interventions are safe and reversible.
LifeSiteNews has compiled a list of medical professionals and experts who have warned about transgender procedures and their irreversible harms and lifelong side effects.
In fact, in addition to asserting a false reality that one’s sex can be changed, transgender surgeries and drugs have been linked to permanent physical and psychological damage, including cardiovascular diseases, loss of bone density, cancer, strokes and blood clots, infertility, and suicidality.
There is also overwhelming evidence that those who undergo “gender transitioning” are more likely to commit suicide than those who are not given irreversible surgery. A Swedish study found that those who underwent “gender reassignment” surgery ended up with a 19.2 times greater risk of suicide.
Indeed, the most loving and helpful approach to people who think they are a different sex is not to validate them in their confusion but to show them the truth.
A new study on the side effects of transgender “sex change” surgeries discovered that 81 percent of those who had undergone “sex change” surgeries in the past five years reported experiencing pain simply from normal movement in the weeks and months that followed – and that many other side effects manifest as well.

Dr. Malone: Trump admin takes step in right direction with new COVID shot guidance

From LifeSiteNews
I think I am developing a bad case of “Warp Speed” whiplash.
On May 20, 2025, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article authored by Vinay Prasad, M.D., M.P.H. (FDA/CBER Director), and Martin A. Makary, M.D., M.P.H. (FDA Commissioner) titled “An Evidence-Based Approach to Covid-19 Vaccination.” The “new” FDA position was that pregnancy and recent pregnancy, as well as many other pre-existing conditions, are associated with a greater risk of severe COVID outcomes. The agency said it would approve new versions of the vaccine (based on antibody production only) for adults 65 years of age and older as well as for people with one or more risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcomes.
These risk factors include medical conditions such as asthma, cancer, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy. At that time, the agency indicated that healthy younger adults and children who fall outside of these groups may not be eligible to receive the COVID-19 shot this fall. Vaccine manufacturers will have to conduct clinical trials to demonstrate that the vaccine benefits low-risk groups.
On May 22, 2025, the groundbreaking MAHA Commission Report was announced and published. Never before has such a wide-ranging, comprehensive, and fearless report on the state of children’s health in the United States been published by the U.S. government. Titled “Making Our Children Healthy Again,” the report addresses concerns about the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule as part of its broader focus on chronic disease in children. Key statements about vaccines include:
- Increased Scrutiny Needed: The report calls for a reassessment of the childhood vaccine schedule, highlighting that the number of recommended vaccines has risen from 7 injections in 1986 to 29 by age one. It notes that many vaccines were tested in small participant groups, lacked inert placebo-controlled trials, and had limited safety monitoring (some lasting six months or less), raising concerns about detecting rare or long-term adverse effects.
- Comparative Analysis: It points out that Denmark’s vaccine schedule includes nearly half as many vaccines as the U.S., yet no trials have compared the safety or advisability of the U.S. schedule against other nations’.
- Vaccine Safety and Corporate Influence: The report questions the safety of the current schedule, suggesting that the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 shields manufacturers from liability, creating a unique regulatory framework that may limit open dialogue and safety reporting. It advocates for “true” placebo studies and more research into potential adverse effects.
- No Causal Claims: The report does not explicitly link vaccines to chronic diseases like autism, obesity, or diabetes, but it raises concerns about insufficient investigation into potential associations.
- Acknowledgment of Benefits: It acknowledges that vaccines protect children from infectious diseases but emphasizes balancing benefits with potential risks, and calls for more rigorous clinical trial designs.
- Ongoing Research: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that research into vaccine safety, including the autism crisis, is already underway, with policy recommendations to follow within 100 days.
- What the report did not do was to address specific concerns regarding the adverse events associated with the COVID-19 mRNA products in children, pregnant women, pre-born or post-natal babies.
READ: CDC no longer recommending COVID shots for healthy pregnant women, children
Following these key back-to-back announcements, vocal critics within the MAHA movement immediately launched a campaign attacking Secretary Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Makary for failing to ban all mRNA-based COVID products. Some with longstanding ties to the feminist movement went so far as to assert (on Substack and podcasts) that there was a coordinated effort by the “patriarchy” to shut down female social media influencers who were attacking Kennedy and Makary for failing to act swiftly and comprehensively to withdraw all FDA marketing authorization for these COVID-19 mRNA-based products.
What these attacks failed to do was gather information concerning the political decision-making process within the administration of President Trump that led to these policy decisions. According to sources in close contact with the administration, I have been informed that President Trump and his chief of staff made the decision to leave the COVID mRNA-based products on the recommended CDC vaccine schedule and related guidance. Not Kennedy or Makary.
One version of this narrative emphasizes the president’s political calculus, particularly concerns about alienating the pharmaceutical industry (and its potential donations to senators) as the midterm elections approach. So once again, the nattering nabob “influencer” caste directed their hate and ire at the wrong target. Curiously, many of these “influencers” are directly sponsored by a company seeking to associate itself with “medical freedom,” and not so curiously, some have a long history of Trump Derangement Syndrome symptoms. At least one of these sponsored “influencers” actively seeks to damage both the president and the entire MAHA movement politically.
What none of these appear to recognize is that, because of “small rooming” and the emerging dynamics of the splinternet, they were primarily communicating with the MAHA base, actively promoting anger by the base against Secretary Kennedy, and perhaps most importantly demoralizing both the overall MAHA base including the “MAHA Moms” that became disenchanted with the Democrat Party and played such a role in tipping the 2014 election in favor of President Trump and the Republican Party. The damage was becoming significant. Over the last few days, I have had long conversations with leaders and donors backing key MAHA-aligned online publications and non-profit advocacy organizations who were deeply troubled about the anger and divisiveness that was consuming their groups over this issue of CDC pediatric and pregnancy guidance concerning the COVID-19 mRNA products.
This is the context for today’s announcement by HHS Secretary Kennedy, FDA Commissioner Makary, and NIH Director Bhattacharya. Whether reports that the prior decision not to take these steps occurred at the level of the president and his chief of staff were gossip or fact, the Trump administration has now taken yet another step towards withdrawing these products.
First we had the Secretary of Defense boldly stating that the products mandated and deployed to warfighters and other members of the Armed Services on pain of dishonorable discharge were not FDA licensed (as federal law requires) and that those orders were illegal. Then the FDA Commissioner and his chief deputy, responsible for Vaccine regulatory policy, announced “new rules” for COVID booster authorization. Then, the groundbreaking MAHA commission report. And now this.

Like many, I would prefer that these COVID gene therapy-based technology products that cause your entire body to manufacture the genetically modified, highly toxic SARS-CoV-2 spike protein for extended periods be withdrawn from the US market. On the basis of data from all over the world, approximately three years ago it was my impression that the risk/benefit ratio of these products did not merit continued use in any cohort, as the same cohorts at elevated risk for significant COVID disease or death were also at elevated risk of disease or death attributable to these genetic vaccines. But to date, that has remained a minority opinion.
Frankly, given the current political landscape and President Trump’s belief that both Operation Warp Speed and these products were one of the great successes of his first administration, I am amazed that policy changes regarding these products have advanced so quickly under Secretary Kennedy and President Trump.
But I am also under no illusion that those “influencers” promoting the attacks, targeted splintering and demoralization, and intentional damage to the MAHA movement and its momentum will tone down their breathless, angry rhetoric. After all, anger sells. It generates clicks, likes, engagement, follows, influence and revenue. And is actively exploited and driven by bot farms.
But for one brief moment, let’s celebrate the win. This is progress. This is the consequence of new leadership at HHS doing what it can to Make America (and its children) Healthy Again.
Never forget, in politics and all other things, perfect is the enemy of the good. And patience is a virtue.

CDC no longer recommending COVID shots for healthy pregnant women, children

From LifeSiteNews
The announcement also follows recent Senate testimony from respected OB-GYN Dr. James Thorp who said that “[r]aw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester,” a figure that “mirrors the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU486.”
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are no longer recommending the experimental mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for healthy pregnant women and children.
“Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy announced on X Tuesday.
Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from @CDCgov recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it’s common sense and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS’s promise to Make America Healthy Again. pic.twitter.com/Ytch2afCLP

“Bottom line: it’s common sense and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing the President of the United States’s promise to Make America Healthy Again,” Kennedy added.
The social media announcement was accompanied by a video featured Kennedy alongside Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.
In the video, the trio called the decision a matter of “good science” and criticized the administration of former President Joe Biden for continuing to recommend “booster” shots for healthy children as recently as last year despite a complete lack of any supportive clinical data.
The news comes just days after the FDA said Pfizer and Moderna, two of the largest COVID vaccine manufactures, must expand its warnings to young men aged 16 to 25 about the link between their experimental injections and heart diseases.
The announcement also follows recent Senate testimony from respected OB-GYN Dr. James Thorp who said that “[r]aw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester,” a figure that “mirrors the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU486.”
