Urgency Of Normal

A group of doctors & scientists advocating for children's well-being and an urgent return to fully normal life and schooling.

The story of the union-led Covid school closures ("just for 15 Days") will be told by the survivors- the kids & families who were subject to the biggest "SMASH & GRAB" in America's history.

All told the unions extorted nearly $200,000,000,000, while keeping schools CLOSED.

I think the US should be extremely conservative when it comes to exposing us to uncertain chemicals that are banned in other parts of the world in our food, cosmetics, and furniture. (Red dye #3 was banned from lipstick for 35 years, but not gummy bears)

I think 2-3 years to remove Red Dye #3 is bullshit. It should happen ASAP. Lots of other chemicals can go. I would adopt a US philosophy of: if it is toxic anywhere, it is toxic here.

To substantively improve American's health, I think you have to be honest and say being fat is bad for your health. It's terrible for your health. Healthy at all body sizes is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. US med schools are deranged.

The built environment needs to be changed so people walk more, move more.

Subsidies to corn and other garbage agricultural products that pump people full of highly refined carbohydrates and low value calories needed to be completely cut.

If subsidies are introduced in the market, and these can be debated, they should be introduced for fruits and vegetables, and studied

Effort should be made to explore be the implications of teaching people about cooking and food culture more broadly. I would conduct randomized experiments.

The NIH budget is being spent on shit. Probably 2/3 of NIH funding is spent on the dumbest research possible. Not the most important human health priorities. It can all be cut and repurposed. NIH funded a study to increase CT screening in homeless people with substance abuse issues-- NIH has been run incompetently.

School lunch programs and school nutrition need to be completely revamped. We feed kids dog food. IT is disgraceful. A sign of a failed country is to close kids schools and feed them dog food. US doesn't value children enough.

Also we should not need to be giving 12 year olds Ozempic. That is crazy.

Many things need to be done. But the US should be the nation that says: if it's toxic anywhere. It's toxic here too. I have a few videos I making on this topic that I'll be posting soon.

A NYC HS has found an ingenious way to solve its problem with chronic student absenteeism & teacher retention: just allow the students & teachers to show up less. From now on, the students will be allowed to "learn remotely" (i.e., not show up to school) on Fridays. 1/

.@PeterHotez of @Baylor is one of the great villains of the Covid school closures, child masking and vaccine mandates.

He betrayed his oath, he betrayed his nation, he betrayed the families who had faith in public health.

Peter should be banished from practicing forever.

There was never a moment of doubt in my advocacy for open schools. I will tell you more in my documentary- because I HAD to document the story- but, I could not stop myself from throwing every bit of fire I could at the monsters who shut kids out of life & stole their developmental milestones.

I went to every rally, signed petitions, organized a lawsuit, made videos & finally SUED.

I am counting down the days to our documentary release. No way will we allow the fat cat unionists to claim this generation as their own. They may have won some battles in 2020, 2021, but they will LOSE THIS WAR.

@AppletoZucchini @pnjaban @DrJBhattacharya @urgencyofnormal @TracyBethHoeg @VPrasadMDMPH @notaproviderMD @smalltownpeddoc There are so many unsung heroes. It's nice when one is "sung."

[Natalya Murakhver @AppletoZucchini]

@pnjaban @DrJBhattacharya Jay is a HERO & right behind him are the brave doctors at @urgencyofnormal @TracyBethHoeg @VPrasadMDMPH @notaproviderMD @smalltownpeddoc & the incredible team that fought so hard to free the kids!

I would like to think that last night was partially a referendum on Covid.  Not that I think it's a hot issue right now, but because it is what opened many eyes to the hypocrisy on the left. 🧵

[Benjamin Ryan @benryanwriter]

Dr. @MorrellMDmph calls the @AmerAcadPeds’s 11th-hour ejection of @notaproviderMD from its online conference program unprecedented.

[Natalya Murakhver @AppletoZucchini]

This is my daughter in 1st grade- she was forcibly masked the entire year. She had to leave her classroom for a drink of water.

NYC had some of the strictest kid mandates anywhere- even applied to 2 year olds.

Kids did not get to "let off steam."

America's public school families should be getting millions of $$ of refunds for all the missed schooldays, months & years that children were deprived of by greedy teachers unions & feckless politicians.

🚨 Parents, listen up! 🚨

Are you concerned about how schools handle gender issues with YOUR kids? Check out this 🔧🔧 designed to empower YOU. 👉https://t.co/nMinwnWlfo

It's all about language, data, & legal resources to protect our children. Unlike the @AmerAcadPeds *we do* lean on the Cass Review & global data— the science is anything but settled! 🌍

Don't let fear-mongering dictate! Our toolkit isn't about politics; it's about KIDS.

Liberal Dem parents made it accessible for ALL. Let's depoliticize & focus on what matters: our children's well-being.

@Rstorechildhood breaks it all down.

As organizer of @urgencyofnormal, I know how crucial empowering parents can be. Just like we ended COVID craziness, let's bring clarity here! 💪

[Erich Hartmann @erichhartmann]

A very interesting point was made the other night on the @NCLAlegal X Space re Missouri. In Spring 20 a woman desperately wanted to share @MartinKulldorff's POV with her "very educated family", but she could not. Because it was censored by Facebook (at government request).

The sooner we can have this conversation with as many people as possible, as @4TiffanyJustice
@Miriam_Grossman @ADFLegal @BillboardChris have been fighting for, the more children we can save from irreversible medicalization. https://t.co/lES0BF1ZDt

[Allison Krug MPH @KrugAlli]

Not an expert in this area, but I care deeply about the neurodivergent children who are (vastly) disproportionately represented in the medical pathway associated with gender dysphoria. This is a balanced toolkit - please take a look. @AppletoZucchini

“Why is the AAP waiting to consider the Cass Review when other countries are acting to protect children now?”

@BillAckman @PaceUniversity @Columbia Look @ the correlation between the protests & Covid vaccine mandates, too. You'll see the most restrictive measures were imposed at the most encampment-rich universities.

Hero! 🌟⤵️

[Jay Bhattacharya @DrJBhattacharya]

I'm grateful to the @reason foundation for honoring me with its Flame of Freedom award this year. It rightfully belongs to the millions of people censored in the name of public health by an government contemptuous of a basic civil right, free speech.

[Margery Smelkinson, Ph.D. @MSmelkinsonPhD]

Yeah, we already know that the COVID response was not guided by data. But it's worse than that. They also tried to silence and demonize anyone that tried to speak up about it. Lives were ruined for a narrative.
