(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) PayPal CEO Dan Schulman announced that he would leave the company at the end of the year after the company was criticized for its “misinformation” policy that led to PayPal losing billions of dollars.
However, he said that the reason why he wants to retire is that he wants to devote more time to his “passions outside the workplace,” according to the Daily Wire. Schulman became the company’s chief executive in 2014 after he worked as enterprise growth president at American Express.
“I’m proud of what we have accomplished at PayPal and of the incredibly talented and committed people I work with every day,” he said.
“Together, we have reimagined financial services and e-commerce and worked to improve the financial health of our customers. PayPal makes a difference every day for its customers and communities and the company is positioned for a great future.”
The retirement comes months after PayPal, which has de-platformed multiple conservative organizations and commentators because their political views do not align with the company’s woke policies, had unveiled an upcoming change to its acceptable use policy that would have banned the promotion of the so-called “misinformation” and “hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that are discriminatory.” Later on, the company that wanted to impose $2,500 penalties for having a different opinion claimed that the guidelines were published “in error.”
Because of these woke policies, the company lost $6 billion in valuation during a subsequent stock market selloff, since thousands of people decided to not support the company that hates them and their views by canceling their accounts.
PayPal lost $6 billion in valuation during a subsequent stock market selloff as thousands of users canceled their accounts.
Schulman who still represents the company showed his political bias months earlier, though, when he gave an interview to the World Economic Forum.
“Trust extends well beyond whether you deliver an excellent product or service. Doing that is very necessary, but it’s not sufficient,” he said.
“To be a company that embodies trust, your mission and values should make it clear that you stand for more than just maximizing profit. That you stand up for social issues that are important, and you do the right things to help create a better world.”
(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Disney CEO Bob Iger decided to escape the sinking ship when he announced that he doesn’t want to work in the company for more than two years, with his remarks coming as the company announced its financial losses that resulted in them cutting $5.5 billion in costs and slashing 7,000 jobs.
On Thursday, Iger told CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” that he plans to work for the company only for the duration of his contract but no longer, according to the Epoch Times.
“My plan is to stay here for two years, that’s what my contract says, that was my agreement with the board and that is my preference,” he said.
Iger, who served as Disney CEO and later came out of retirement to take the job once again after the company fired Bob Chapek, said that one of the goals he wants to achieve before he leaves the company for good is to help the Disney board “succeed at succession.”
In Nov. 2022, Disney’s board fired Chapek as CEO and announced Iger’s return to the company’s top spot. Back then, Disney said that Iger would “set the strategic direction for renewed growth” for the company and work closely with its board on “developing a successor to lead the company at the completion of his term.”
Chapek, who previously worked as the chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, became Disney’s CEO in Feb. 2020.
Iger’s desire to leave the company as soon as possible may be connected to the fact that, due to the woke politics that the company pushed down people’s throats, Disney lost a lot of money and was forced to lay off around 7,000 employees.
According to the Epoch Times, the layoffs are part of a broader reorganization that includes a strategy to cut costs by $5.5 billion.
An October securities filing stated that the job cuts amount to roughly 3% of Disney’s total global workforce of around 220,000 employees.
Even though the COVID-19 virus poses no threat to young children, mRNA vaccinations against the virus do not prevent the person from getting the virus or spreading it and some people even died specifically because they received a COVID vaccine, according to the Gateway Pundit. Despite all of that evidence, the CDC and its advisory council still want to vaccinate children.
In Oct. 2022, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which provides advice and guidance to the CDC’s director about the vaccine use for the control of vaccine-preventable diseases, voted to recommend COVID-19 to be included in the 2023 childhood immunization schedule in 15 unanimous votes.
According to ACIP, children as young as six months old should get vaccinated against COVID-19. This and other vaccines may be administered on the same day.
As soon as the DCD approves it, the Department of Health can exercise its rule-making authority to add it to the healthcare and school schedule at any time.
On Thursday, the recommendation to include the new vaccine was approved by the CDC, doctors, nurses and pharmacists as they are bringing the COVID emergency declaration to an end.
“The 2023 child and adolescent immunization schedule, available on the CDC immunization schedule website, summarizes ACIP recommendations, including several changes from the 2022 immunization schedule,” according to the CDC’s website. “Health care providers are advised to use the tables, notes and appendix together to determine recommended vaccinations for patient populations.”
“This immunization schedule is recommended by ACIP and approved by CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Nurse-Midwives, the American Academy of Physician Associates, and the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners,” CDC added.
And the addition of the COVID vaccine only gives a more official recommendation to healthcare providers and schools.
“This means COVID-19 vaccine is now presented as any other routinely recommended vaccine and is no longer presented in a special ‘call out’ box as in previous years,” Dr. Neil Murthy and Dr. A. Patricia Wodi said in a statement.
“This, in a sense, helps ‘normalize’ this vaccine and sends a powerful message to both healthcare providers and the general public that everyone ages 6 months and older should stay up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccines (including a booster, when eligible), just as they would with any other routinely recommended vaccine.”
(Ken Silva, Headline USA) During a Wednesday appeal hearing over a lawsuit challenging a New York Covid-19 vaccine mandate for teachers, a lawyer for the plaintiffs disclosed that teachers who refused the jab had their fingerprints sent to the FBI.
“When the city puts these ‘problem codes’ on employees who have been terminated because of their unconstitutional policies, not only do they have this flag in their files, but their fingerprints are sent with that flag to the FBI and the New York Criminal Justice Services,” said attorney John Bursch, who is representing 21 teachers and other Department of Education employees challenging New York City‘s vaccine mandate.
“So it impacts their ongoing ability to get employment at other places,” Bursch told the appeals panel.
Reacting to this news, plaintiff Michael Kane noted that New York City sending unvaccinated teachers’ fingerprints to the FBI undermines the city’s justification for firing them. New York City has argued that it did not fire the teachers for “misconduct,” but instead for not meeting a requirement for employment.
“If there was no misconduct, why are unvaccinated educators fingerprints sent to the FBI?” asked Kane, the founder of Teachers for Choice, an organization that promotes healthcare freedom for educators.
“I believe that unvaccinated NYC educators were being setup to be viewed as ‘right-wing extremists’ or even ‘terrorists.’”
Cane said he believes this latest revelation will spur another round of lawsuits.
In the meantime, it looks like Cane has an uphill battle in his case, which was dismissed by a lower court last August.
“Plaintiffs have not demonstrated that the public interest weighs in their favor. There is a strong public interest in vaccination to support the City’s schools safe reopening and to allow the children who attend daily to learn with as little risk as possible to them and their families,” U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald wrote last August in a decision ignoring scientific evidence about the vaccine’s ineffectiveness.
“This Court joins the long list of other courts who have upheld COVID-19 vaccine mandates, and holds that the defendants’ motion to dismiss is GRANTED.”
Kane and the other plaintiffs filed their appeal immediately after the decision last August. The appeals court did not indicate when it will return with a decision after Wednesday’s hearing.
Omar had dished out millions of dollars to E Street Group, a political consulting firm co-owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, before finally severing financial ties with the group in November 2020.
In the 2020 election cycle alone, Omar’s campaign paid E Street Group more than $2.8 million.
Following her husband’s firm’s removal, Omar’s campaign expenditures on consulting fell by around $2 million, a review of Federal Election Commission filings found. She spent only $1 million during the 2022 election cycle on the same services E Street Group provided.
Interestingly, Omar’s campaign still worked with a fundraiser connected to E Street Group: Rache Barnett, a former director at E Street Group who now runs Barnett Strategies LLC. But whereas E Street Group received $300,000 from Omar’s campaign’s fundraising endeavors, Barnett received only $100,000.
In 2020, Omar’s campaign announced it was terminating its contract with E Street Group to “make sure anybody who is supporting our campaign with their time or financial support feels there is no perceived issue with that support.”
However, Omar continued to defend working with and paying her husband.
“Every dollar that was spent went to a team of more than 20 that were helping us fight back against attacks and organize on the ground and online in a COVID-19 world,” Omar said at the time. “And Tim — beyond his salary at the firm — received no profit whatsoever from the consulting relationship the firm provided.”
Omar said her relationship with Mynett “began long after this work started.”
“We consulted with a top FEC campaign attorney to ensure there were no possible legal issues with our relationship,” she claimed. “We were told this is not uncommon.”
(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) An arsonist who received a 2-year sentence for setting fire to a Seattle police precinct during the deadly anarchy-like 2020 Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone — also known as CHAZ — decided that running for the Seattle City Council is a phenomenal idea.
In March 2022, Isaiah Thomas Willoughby was released from prison after spending there two years in conjunction with three years of supervised release for starting a fire outside the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct in the morning of June 12, 2020, according to the Post Millennial. He pleaded guilty to federal arson charges.
Willoughby filed to run in Seattle’s District 2 against socialist incumbent Tammy Morales.
In 2019, he attempted to run for city council in District 1, but withdrew from the race before the primary in August.
The plea agreement says that Willoughby was wearing a bright yellow and green hoodie when he was captured on surveillance video near debris piled next to the wall of the Seattle Police East Precinct. Willoughby admitted that he was using a gas can to pour gasoline on the debris. On the video, he could be seen stepping away from the debris pile for a moment, then reappearing with something that he lights on fire and tosses on the debris pile.
As the pile began to burn, he was seen walking away. The Department of Justice reported that the fire scorched the side of the building, but was extinguished by those nearby using fire extinguishers, and pulled the flaming debris away from the building.
People recognized Willoughby after the Seattle Police Department released pictures of the arson suspect. Willoughby’s relatives told the police that he was in Seattle inside CHAZ at the time of the fire.
Willoughby tried to remove posts from his social media accounts that linked him to the arson. However, it seems that he forgot to delete some of his Facebook posts that show his hatred of the police.
(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The FBI has backtracked from a leaked intelligence bulletin that cited Southern Poverty Law Center information to justify targeting “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as potential violent domestic extremists.
“While our standard practice is to not comment on specific intelligence products, this particular field office product—disseminated only within the FBI—regarding racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI,” the FBI reportedly said Thursday.
The troubling memo in question was released Wednesday by FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin, who noted that the bureau used information from the discredited SPLC to underpin its assessment that radical-traditionalist Catholics pose a potential threat.
According to Seraphin, the FBI’s decision to cite SPLC info is a departure from how things worked when he was a special agent.
“We got briefings that SPLC was not legitimate when I was at Quantico,” Kyle Seraphin, who was an FBI special agent for six year before getting indefinitely suspended in June 2022, reportedly told The Daily Signal.
While Seraphin may have been warned against the SPLC during his time at the FBI, the bureau does have an incestuous relationship with SPLC that stretches back decades—one that includes a troubling connection to the deadliest domestic terrorist attack in American history, the Oklahoma City bombing.
About eight years after the April 19, 1995, tragic attack, a leaked FBI memo revealed in 2003 that the SPLC had its own informants operating in an Oklahoman white supremacist compound called Elohim City, where suspects in the OKC bomb plot were known to have resided.
The leaked January 1996 FBI memo said: “Information has also been received through the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) that [NAME REDACTED] telephone call from [Oklahoma City bomber] Timothy McVeigh on or about 4/17/95, two days prior to the OKBOMB attack, when [NAME REDACTED], per a source of the SPLC, was in the white supremacist compound at [Elohim City].”
Citing a “highly placed confidential source in the DOJ,” the journalists who obtained the memo reported in 2005 that the FBI had been using the SPLC as a surveillance cutout. The journalists, J.D. Cash and Roger Charles, said the FBI was using a spy network operated by the SPLC to do what many in the bureau were afraid to do because of guidelines in place during the Clinton administration.
“Attorney General Janet Reno would not allow the FBI much latitude in developing intelligence inside the far-right due to concerns that such activities might violate existing departmental guidelines on ‘domestic spying,’” J.D. Cash and Roger Charles wrote in July 2005 for the McCurtain Daily Gazette.
“To skirt Reno’s policies, the FBI developed a relationship with cutouts such as the SPLC that could use their own spies to do what the FBI could not. These non-government agents then passed their intelligence products back to the bureau.”
Because the OKC bombing suspects who had resided at Elohim City were never arrested in relation to the attack—as Headline USA reported here—Cash and Charles wondered whether the SPLC was helping the FBI conceal information about the case. Cash and Charles—the latter who worked a brief stint on McVeigh’s defense team—were developing the theory that the FBI was trying to conceal the fact that one of its informants had gone rogue and helped carry out the bombing.
The two investigators confronted SPLC founder Morris Dees with their suspicions, but Dees reportedly declined to divulge information.
“Dees admitted that he had an informant at Elohim City as the [FBI] teletype said. However, the coy attorney refused to elaborate on the situation, except to say he had warned then-attorney general Reno, six months before the attack, that, ‘An attack on the government is planned by members of the far right,’” Cash and Charles wrote in 2005.
“Dees went on to say that after the attack he immediately called Reno to say the media had it wrong. ‘I told her the attack was domestic, not foreign,’ Dees said.”
Dees was reportedly also confronted about the matter during a conference at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in 2003, but he also declined to comment at that time.
“If I told you what we were doing there, I would have to kill you,” Dees reportedly said in 2003.
“Hilary Ledford has been giving her students assignments that require them to divulge their religion, gender identity, and sexual preference while simultaneously creating a ‘sexual activist’ type environment in her class,” according to the parental rights group Tahoma Parents.
The reason why normal people learned about the assignment is because one of the students brought it to a parent because one was uncomfortable about submitting to the woke ideology, the Post Millennialreported. The parent of the child then told the school principal and school district about the indoctrination that happens in the school.
However, concerned parents didn’t need to hear from their kids about the woke ideologues that teach them. Sometimes it is enough to check the social media of the professional indoctrinators.
“If I told you one of my lessons caused a deranged parent to email district admin, school admin, the school board, AND post about me on social media, would you believe me?” Ledford wrote in an Instagram story. After receiving the backlash from parents, she made her social media accounts private.
While parents were not bothered to check the social media of the teacher, the students were more than familiar with the information that their teacher used to post.
“Ledford’s social media is actively followed by her students,” according to the Tahoma parents website.
“Videos and photos submitted to us show unprofessional relationships with students, off-topic classroom signage, promotion of controversial ideological values, public thoughts of suicide and more,” the post says. “This display is extremely concerning considering she posts videos of her students and their content.”
Even though the school district quickly responded to parents with the standard phrase of the content of the assignment being “inappropriate,” it didn’t provide any update about whether the indoctrinator is fired or not.
“Teachers often get away with injecting personal narratives due to contractual clauses that provide them Academic Freedom,” an anonymous school administrator said.
However, it was not the first time when Ledford showed her true colors. In 2018, she wanted to create “safe spaces” program in the school to teach “tolerance and inclusion,” according to a Tahoma News article.
(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A former top-ranking staffer for NATO’sMilitary Liaison Mission in Moscow confirmed that President Joe Biden’s presidency had, indeed, emboldened Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine, and that the billions being sent to defend it was not all going to the correct place.
Gary Tabach—a naturalized American citizen who fled the Soviet Union as a child to escape Jewish persecution—spent five years working for NATO in Turkey and Moscow after retiring as a captain from the U.S. Navy.
He left his post as chief of staff at NATO’s Moscow mission in 2011 and founded Fort SEAL, a Pennsylvania-based cybersecurity firm.
More recently, Tabach has been on the ground in war-torn Ukraine, where he has spoken to troops about the situation there. In an exclusive interview for Headline USA, he talked about the war, Putin, George Soros’s propaganda machine, American perception of the Russian military and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s wife attending the World Economic Forum, among other things.
Tabach’s background, having been immersed in both American and Russian culture, makes him uniquely qualified to question the motives of both Western and Eastern leaders who, together, have brought the world to the brink of yet another world war.
In March 2022, Tabach told Tatyana Popova, a Ukrainian journalist, that after Joe Biden replaced Donald Trump in the Oval Office, Putin felt emboldened to invade Ukraine.
“Under Trump, he sat quietly and did nothing,” Tabach said, according to the transcript of the interview by the Kyiv Post.
“Oil prices were low and [the] Nord Stream 2 [pipeline] was blocked. Then Biden came along, Nord Stream 2 was unblocked, oil prices went up and Putin was invited everywhere,” he said.
Tabach also criticized Russian soldiers—and Putin, who sent them to invade Ukraine.
“Bombing and killing civilians and destroying infrastructure is not what the military does,” he told the Kyiv Post. “Soldiers fight against other soldiers. This is absolute terrorism and instills panic. Putin is paranoid and frankly psychopathic.
However, he clarified in the interview with Headline USA that he meant that Putin is not a crazy person but rather a power-hungry dictator.
“Power poisons people,” Tabach said referring to the longtime Kremlin leader.
“… He’s a KGB crook, and he thinks that everything belongs to him,” Tabach continued. “He wants to conquer the whole world. He’s like Stalin and Hitler. They’re all the same.”
He acknowledged, however, that while an evil megalomaniac on the Russian side threatened global stability, the so-called pro-democracy alliance had at least one evil megalomaniac in its ranks, threatning to undermine democracy from within.
Tabach pointed out a problem that both Americans and Ukrainians face: the powerful propaganda machine being controlled by Hungarian-born oligarch George Soros.
“Ukrainian people are good people. They’re fighting in the war, and they want an answer,” Tabach said.
“And of course, those skim artists are ready to give them an easy answer,” he added. “And the easiest thing to do is to blame someone, so they blame Trump.”
Spreading his wealth and influence, Soros had succeeded in turning the former Republican U.S. president into almost as big a villain as Putin—even though Trump did more to support Ukraine’s resistance effort than his predecessor, Barack Obama, and no longer had any role on the geopolitical stage.
Trump “has not been a president for two years now, but they still concentrate on him to use him as a diversion,” Tabach said. “… And the easiest way to do that is to get the most popular talking heads in Ukraine.”
However, Soros is not the only one who has been able to deceive the population, he added.
Most Americans see Russia and its military as one of the world powers, especially compared to the current state of America.
While the United States military forces troops to get vaccinated, pushesMarxist ideology and releases woke ads that support sexual deviants adopting children, it seems that Russia does the complete opposite.
Even though Tabach didn’t deny that America now suffers from the woke virus, he also warns that Russians were “great at fooling people.”
“They once used their propaganda to fool millions, if not billions, of people in the world by selling them the socialist/communist utopia,” Tabach said. “They now use the same propaganda. They want you to think that Russian soldiers are masculine and strong.”
The reality, however, is different, Tabach said.
Volodymyr Zolkin, an independent Ukrainian journalist, became famous in his country for interviewing captured Russians, proving that the vast majority of people who fight on the side of Russia right now are untrained drafted Russians and prison inmates who were sent to war due to Russia losing its people on the battlefield.
He also added that Russians have not contributed to the world in any way, other than making outdated military equipment.
“Did they come up with some sort of a drug that helps people?” he asked. “A phone or a satellite? Any kind of medical equipment that the whole world uses? Maybe an electric car?”
Tabach then said that the only thing that makes Russians unique is the fact that they don’t value their own lives.
“They equate the numbers to strength,” he said.
“So yeah, 1,000 soldiers will knock down the giant because there are just so many of them,” he continued. “This is their approach. They plan to win by sending thousands of people who are willing to die because they really have nothing to live for.”
The topic of Russians fooling people led to the discussion of American leftists who suddenly started to support Ukraine after it was invaded.
He said they failed to realize that supporting Ukraine and Democrats at the same time didn’t make sense, since the latter are notorious for enabling dictators all around the world, including Putin.
“They listen to CNN and hear that Democrats are good and that they are for Ukraine, while Republicans are bad,” he said.
Tabach then mentioned the standard narrative of Democrats that Trump is pro-Russia, even though he put sanctions on Russia, closed the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and gave weapons to Ukraine.
“‘Trump is evil and he’s the Russians’ friend,’ although it is Biden that keeps talking to the Russians, and it was Biden who’s been traveling to the Soviet Union while it still existed,” Tabach said.
He added that one of the major reasons why Putin decided to finally attack Ukraine was because of the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan—a suspicion shared by many American conservatives both before and after the start of the Ukraine invasion.
“We have never done anything like that,” Tabach said of the military’s de-facto surrender to the Taliban.
“We never ran away from Nazis or the Japanese,” he continued. “But now we run away from guys with beards, armed with AK-47s, who can’t read or write. We dropped everything, left our allies and treacherously ran away.”
The other major reason why Putin decided to invade Ukraine, according to Tabach, is because he wants to re-create the Soviet Union.
Russia’s past warmongering in Moldova, Georgia and Kazakhstan, all former Soviet republics, only proves this point, he said.
Russia also gained effective control of Belarus, another ex-Soviet republic, when its current President Alexander Lukashenko willfully became Putin’s puppet to remain in power in his country, Tabach claimed.
Although many conservatives in America have called for Ukraine to negotiate an armistice with Russia to avoid World War 3, Tabach said he thinks that shaking hands with Russians doesn’t work. He referred to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, an agreement signed by the Russian government, in which it promised to not attack Ukraine and then ignored their promise by invading the country.
Tabach also addressed the conservatives’ concern that America should not send money to Ukraine—or any other country—because the United States has its own problems that it needs to solve first.
“We cannot be isolated for several reasons. One of the reasons is that this [war] will come to us eventually,” he claimed.
“And the second reason is even more important: We’re human beings,” he added. “From the moral perspective, we cannot stand and watch kids getting killed and crippled and say that we have our own problems. Before anything else, we have moral problems. Then we have all the other problems.”
He also addressed the concerns of some on the Right that Ukraine is full of modern-day “Nazis” and that Putin was actually a good guy due to his self-proclaimed “denazification” efforts.
“You bring these people to Ukraine. Tell them ‘come visit us.’ We’ll show you Bucha. We’ll show your Irpin. We’ll show you what the Russians have done,” he said.
“It’s all made up,” he added. “It’s all created by the Russian propaganda because they project something they do to someone else.”
Tabach then invited Tucker Carlson—one of the leading skeptics of the Ukraine war effort—to visit Ukraine, after mentioning his criticism of Zelenskyy.
“I’ll pay for his ticket,” Tabach said. I’ll show him around Ukraine. I’ll show him that he’s wrong about what he’s saying.”
Carlson has pointed to many of Zelenskyy’s wartime actions—such as suppressing political dissent and religious freedom—to question the current administration’s commitment to democratic values and, by extension, the Biden administration’s stated motive for intervening in the conflict.
Carlson “blames President Zelenskyy for getting rid of the Russian Orthodox Church,” Tabach said.
But Zelenskyy was right to do so, “because it was full of spies, and they were betraying Ukraine,” he said. “It was not a religious institution that stayed out of politics.”
He went on to note parallels between Zelenskyy’s suppression of pro-Russian media outlets and America’s own efforts in past wars.
“President Roosevelt did the same thing during World War Two,” Tabach said. “He shut down the enemy radio channels. He shut down newspapers in German and Japanese. When you are at war with someone, you can’t let them have their propaganda on your land.”
However, he agreed with Carlson and other conservative skeptics about one point—the danger of becoming too close with the globalist Davosie, which seeks to replace the current world order with one that abolishes property rights and other individual liberties.
He said of Zelenskyy’s wife, Olena, visiting the recent World Economic Forum that she and her husband probably do not realize that they are dealing with “the most dangerous organization” in this world.
(Headline USA) Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced this week that his office has launched an investigation into a state gender clinic following a bombshell whistleblower report from a former staffer in the clinic.
Bailey said he would be looking into allegations made against the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, adding that he has received sworn testimony from Jamie Reed, a former case manager at the clinic. The state Social Services Department, a state licensing agency, and Washington University are also investigating the clinic.
In an article for the Free Press this week, Reed came forward about her experience at the gender clinic, accusing its doctors and therapists of fast-tracking confused children toward transition and using experimental hormone drugs on them.
In her affidavit to Bailey, Reed said she worked with young patients with severe mental health issues who became permanent patients as a result of the experimental treatments the clinic gave them. One minor, for example, underwent a double mastectomy and came back a few months later saying she “wanted her breasts back.” Another young child was prescribed a drug used to treat metastatic prostate cancer and developed liver toxicity as a result, she said.
“I took the job because I support trans rights and firmly believed I would be able to provide good care for children at the Center who are appropriate candidates to be receiving medical transition,” Reed wrote in the affidavit. “Instead, I witnessed the Center cause permanent harm to many of the patients.”
Bailey called Reed’s testimony “disturbing.”
“We take this evidence seriously and are thoroughly investigating to make sure children are not harmed by individuals who may be more concerned with a radical social agenda than the health of children,” Bailey said.
In a statement, Washington University said they were also “alarmed by the allegations reported in the article” and are “looking into the situation to ascertain the facts.”
