Independent Medical Alliance Mourns the Loss of Annelise Camp, Two-Year-Old Patient at the Center of Texas “Right to Try” Case FULL STATEMENT: WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Independent Medical Alliance (IMA), a national coalition representing more than 12,000 independent physicians, researchers, and clinicians, today mourned the loss of young Annelise Camp, the two-year-old at the center of the Texas “Right to Try” case. “The Independent Medical Alliance mourns the passing of Baby Camp and extends our deepest condolences to her family,” said IMA President and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joseph Varon (@joevaron), who was one of many medical professionals assisting the Camp family. “Throughout this unimaginable journey, her parents demonstrated extraordinary love, courage, and determination, leaving no stone unturned in their effort to give their daughter every possible chance. That unwavering devotion is what will define this story far more than its heartbreaking ending. It was an honor for the IMA to stand beside the Camp family, offering our support every step of the way. Today, we grieve with them, remember Baby Camp with love, and keep her family in our thoughts and prayers as they navigate this profound loss.” In early June, IMA issued an urgent statement demanding Texas Children's Hospital cease its pressure campaign against the parents of Annelise Camp, a two-year-old near-drowning patient currently fighting for her life, and honor the family's right to pursue every available avenue for their daughter's recovery. Controversy arose when Texas Children's Hospital indicated it intended to pursue a brain death determination for Annelise, over the explicit objections of her parents, who were seeking access to alternative treatments and supportive care in accordance with the state's Right to Try law. The IMA joined others in calling that effort premature, medically unsound given the patient's age and circumstance, and a direct violation of the principles that Texas's Right to Try legislation was designed to protect. Although Annelise did not recover, there are many documented cases of toddlers and young children who have regained consciousness, relearned to walk and speak, and gone on to live full lives after near-drowning events and extended coma.

Are you a business owner? Did you know you have a liability you may have never heard of? People often ask “how can I afford your type of care”-find out how employers are offering it with ZERO dollars out of your pocket. It’s going to be a good one! 🔥 Join @DrKatLindley and @HEALTHCOSTtruth Wed pm

THIS WEEK: How to Buy Better Healthcare for Less On this week’s show, host and IMA Senior Fellow @DrKatLindley will be joined by IMA Senior Fellow Dr. Mollie James (@molsjames) and healthcare plan expert Christine Price for a practical discussion on the major issues and hidden costs of traditional health insurance, the growing role of direct primary care and cash-pay providers, and how self-funded health plans can improve access and quality of care for patients. Wednesday, August 5th at 7pm ET. Livestream here on X!

Public health officials and mainstream news outlets should inform people—not frighten them. Thank you, @SecKennedy, for calling out the fear-driven messaging that defined far too much of the COVID response.

We sent our 52-page autism study directly to RFK Jr... Days later, the CDC changed its website to say: “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is NOT an evidence-based claim.” The 30-year lie that “vaccines don’t cause autism” has officially been TERMINATED. Our peer-reviewed study found 79% (107 of 136) of vaccine-related studies showed a POSITIVE LINK to autism, neurodevelopmental disorders, and/or brain damage. Autism prevalence skyrocketed 32,000% as vaccine makers obtained full liability protection and the vaccine schedule grew to 72 doses.

Thank you, @SecKennedy, for recognizing the importance of listening to frontline doctors. We agree—the physicians treating patients every day must have a meaningful voice in the policies and decisions shaping American healthcare.

Fauci Took the Fifth. Our Doctors Never Had That Option. When Dr. Anthony Fauci faced questions about the COVID-19 response, he repeatedly invoked his right to remain silent. Independent doctors who questioned pandemic policies were silenced, censored, threatened, and punished for speaking out. The American people deserve the truth.

Frontline Doctors Weigh In on Fauci Senate Testimony: “The irony is impossible to miss: America’s most prominent medical censor has now censored himself.” FULL STATEMENT: WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Independent Medical Alliance (IMA), a national coalition representing more than 12,000 independent physicians and clinicians, today released the following statement regarding Dr. Fauci’s refusal to testify before the US Senate, including on questions about his role in blocking ivermectin and other life saving treatments. “Dr. Fauci spent the COVID years working to silence doctors who challenged him. Today, when it was his turn to answer questions, he chose silence, invoking the Fifth Amendment. The irony is impossible to miss: America’s most prominent medical censor has now censored himself. Lives were lost because of Dr. Fauci’s COVID pandemic policies, particularly the heavy-handed actions like blocking human grade ivermectin from use and seeking to silence those who disagreed, even though, as Senator Johnson pointed out today, there were dozens of existing peer-reviewed studies showing its efficacy. Frontline doctors saw first hand as countless grandparents and others died alone in their plastic-lined hospital beds rather than receive this life saving treatment. This abuse of power is a prime example why we must never again allow so much control of our healthcare system to rest in the hands of just one person.” @joevaron

New Research Challenges the Lancet Paper Behind Australia’s COVID Booster Push A Lancet-published study claimed COVID-19 vaccines sharply reduced deaths among elderly Australians, including deaths from cancer, dementia, and heart disease. New research published in the Journal of Independent Medicine (@JIndepMed) shows why that claim fails a basic plausibility test. Here, co-authors Clare Pain and Dr. Mark Jones discuss the findings of their research. Links to learn more and read the full paper below. 🔽
