Great post thanks, Garwhoungle. The ideological capture of Health NZ is alarming. I’m also surprised by the chutzpah of these ideologues. I guess they’ve been shielded from public scrutiny to date because of MSM’s refusal to report on anything that the lobbyist organisations you mention might disapprove of.

While the immediate issue is NZ Health’s failure to safeguard vulnerable children and young people from medical harm, the broader issue is the loss of New Zealanders’ trust in our public institutions.

Good to be reminded of this. Thank you. Wtf is going on at Health NZ? Why aren’t they jumping on this issue? Do they really think drugging healthy, distressed children is appropriate - seriously? Perhaps the new minister of health needs a prod.

There's no evidence to support the use of puberty blockers, but here's a list of activist organisations that will do everything they can to ensure that your children will end up damaged physically, emotionally and mentally. I know you wanted a list of medical organisations, but the ones we've provided identify (at least in part) that way because they provide medical advice for non evidence based 'care'. And it's what we identify as that counts. Right? 💚🕊💜

So frustrating, disappointing and sadly...so predictable. Thanks again for keeping us informed.
