A prominent doctor and trans rights advocate admitted she deliberately withheld publication of a $10 million taxpayer-funded study on the effect of puberty blockers on American children — after finding no evidence that they improve patients’ mental health.
Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy told the New York Times that she believes the study would be “weaponized” by critics of transgender care for kids, and that the research could one day be used in court to argue “we shouldn’t use blockers.”
Critics — including one of Olson-Kennedy’s fellow researchers on the study — said the decision flies in the face of research standards and deprives the public of “really important” science in a field where Americans remain firmly divided.
Example #I forgot of "Why don't you trust the experts?" Because a bunch of the lie, exclude data, and sometimes throw a study out if it doesn't show what they want.
When asked by the Times why the results have not been made public after nine years, she said, “I do not want our work to be weaponized,” adding, “It has to be exactly on point, clear and concise. And that takes time.”
She then flat-out admitted she was afraid the lack of mental health improvements borne out by the study could one day be used in court to argue “we shouldn’t use blockers.”
...
When pressed by the outlet for an explanation for the seemingly contradictory findings, Olson-Kennedy attributed it to “data averages,” and said she was “still analyzing the full data set.”
Translation: "I've hidden this as long as possible, now I have to excuse what I did."
Lying clown.
Which led to J.K. Rowling Pouncing!
Remember, we're not talking about adults, we're talking about KIDS they're experimenting on. Which makes this even more inexcusable.
Personal note: Still getting things done, will get back to regular yelling here at some point, but it may be a while.
