You make investigative journalism great again. You just saved some kids and did it earlier with breaking the Minnesota fraud centers.

As the mother of an autistic child who used to wonder why stats showed so many Minnesota kids with Autism and 90 percent Somali, I am angry about how those false claims skewed any research

Thank you for being a badass reporter and for bringing daylight to these things

I am often subscribing to Substacks, reviewing my engagement with their product, and then unsubscribing.

However, there are a certain few paid subs that I view as my duty as a citizen to purchase and support (even if I don't have the time to read most of the articles), because these are the most effective boots on the ground in this existential culture/policy war. Not to encourage complacency Mr. Rufo and team, but I would support you even if I never read an article, because I trust your effectiveness and know that you get important, tangible results. Rufo, New Discourses, DoNoHarm, and DW are four IMO doing the best and most impactful work. Someone let me know if there are others on this level to consider. Proud to be a supporter. This win is huge.

Another Substack whose author walks the walk is "Coffee & Covid". Highly recommended for medical and political insights from the keyboard of a Fl;orida trial lawyer. (The comments section is over the top, BTW).

Jeff Childers is THE BEST. It's hard to believe that there is anyone so good here (Gainesville-BLUE Dot, FL) He has been unstoppable in his pursuit and exposing of the TRUTH since the earliest days of the Covid debacle/hoax/tragedy. It's great to see others recognize this. And his writing style and sense of humor amidst all the stuff is amazing. He's brilliant.

Any other particular issues of interest to you. E.g. There are some writers domig great work here on the huge Covid Sam and coverup of the hard that that the vaccines have cost. Or the abominable stuff happening in the UK and EU. Or the whole government disinformation machine - like Taibbi and Shellenberger.

Perfectly said

It is stunning. The dr.’s who were fired is the most satisfying part of the settlement. . They profited off their own abominations. Hopefully they lose their medical licenses to boot.

It would be in the public interest to have the names of the doctors published widely. The process of “passing the trash” means they may end up at a hospital near you and your children. Parents have a right to know. Transparency and accountability might be assisted by citizens keeping state licensing boards assessed of their status.

And how! We need to know the names of these doctors so we don’t end up with another “Dr. Death” situation, where they just go elsewhere and continue maiming.

Similar to school teachers and others in the so-called education field...including all grades from pre-school through College level!

Agreed. These people should be treated as sex offenders or child abuses (which is exactly what they are). Federal registry and a bar from any federal reimbursement for 10 years.

Yes, whatever happened to ¨Do no harm.¨

Visions of green stuff got in the way.

Two way street. Concierge medical trend. Patients making unrealistic demands on physicians is also a thing. Obviously, if actual harm is involved they should refuse service for reasons ethical and monetary. But informed consent/acceptance of risk can blur that line. I think as a generality we’ve grown, as a society, to too frequently disregard reason in exchange for selfish demands.

paula yokoyama's avatar

I agree. As an RN I have worked with more than 300 Doctors. 90% are ethical and have no problem telling patients "no". An informed consent from the single Mom who is uneducated and has no real understanding is not worth anything. Most MD's are not in it for the money.

Was it just money or was it just plain evil done by evil people?

Congrats, Chris! Keep up the great work!

The idea that a child as young as 11 is being maimed and mutilated should sicken everyone who hears of it.

We need more Christopher Rufos.

Great work.

Can we just make this illegal to do even for adults?????

Do Cincinnati Children's next!

Seattle’s Children Hospital needs to be told “no” as well. I remember being told I no longer could have access to my child’s My Chart, because they were over age 13. Only the child could give me permission to see what was said between Dr and them. Fortunately, my child and I have a good relationship. I remember thinking at the time that this was ridiculous and told the hospital my view. That was over ten years ago. The slope has slipped and thank you Christopher Rufo for helping us get back to the top of the hill.

Thank you for your work in saving children.

Thanks Chris, your fighting against fraud in medicine warms the cockles of my heart. Keep up the good work. I am also a warrior in the fight.

I am so inspired by your hard and un- relenting research and drive for justice for these children and their families! I applaud you for following up and forcing action by the state of TX. Yours is the EPITOME of investigative research. God bless you. I am on a deep financial bind currently, but I hope to be able to support your work soon.

Big victory for you and for Humanity! Thank you. Grateful!

Love it! The CASS Report out of Europe is the latest best science. The Amer College of Pediatricians, the Amer Assoc of Physicians and Surgeons and 90 % of Amer Plastic Surgeons have been against this trans promotion and action. Gaysagainstgroomers and many transregret groups also are speaking out. Adults can do as they wish but leave our kids alone. Sadly, the continued promotion of LGBT lifestyle is still being promoted in many schools by the NEA, GLAAD, GLSEN, HRC and ALA (Amer Library Assoc). Thank you for all the hard work!
