The HHS report, released May 1, says it is “not a clinical practice guideline,” but Kennedy’s letter warns providers against relying on science-based professional guidelines and urges them to use the government document to inform their practice instead. The letter also said that HHS is committed to protecting whistleblowers and may soon create new policies and oversight actions to “hold providers that harm children accountable.”

Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said CMS “will not turn a blind eye to procedures that lack a solid foundation of evidence and may result in lifelong harm.”

“These and other guidelines based on the so-called ‘gender-affirming’ model of care should not be relied upon to harm children any further,” the letter says.

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
