- The transgenderism issue is rapidly gaining importance. Jim and Holly Gruhl reported on an interview by Jordan Peterson of Dr. Miriam Grossman. The number of young persons claiming to be trans or nonbinary has rapidly climbed to 20% and with the pervasive influence of social media could reach 40%. Dr. Grossman states that the transgender ideology is based on the fraudulent work of John Money. While children may be pushed into treatment by therapists who threaten that the child may commit suicide if not “transitioned,” those who do transition are also at risk. In addition, parents, children, and other family members are deeply affected and may also commit suicide, a problem that is largely being ignored. Legal and legislative pushback is growing, along with strong challenges in public forums, as by Matt Walsh. TG activists are increasingly advocating violence.
Dr. Money’s foundational study involved twin boys, one of whom was severely injured by a botched circumcision. He was castrated and raised as a girl. Despite claims about “success,” the patient did not identify as a girl and eventually committed suicide.
Dr. Gruhl added that while 20% of high schoolers now claim they are nonbinary, only one in ten of those has ever dated someone of the same biological birth gender. This would suggest the claim may represent “virtue sIgnaling.” Jordan Peterson discusses the most important transitions in growing up are ages 2 to 4 and ages 16 to 20. In the 16-to-20 group, youth are “burying their youth to become adult” and are looking for heroic causes, which they often find in music, protests, and rebellions. Previous cultures used this growth period to instill patriotism. - Holly Gruhl commented on the increasing difficulty that patients, especially Medicare patients, have in finding medical care, including physicians’ willingness to respond promptly to questions about abnormal lab tests. She attended a talk by Li Schmidt, M.D., of Tucson, who presented interesting thoughts on wellness. She also provided information about new services and subscription plans with Dr. Pierre Kory, who is working with certified tribal healers. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has been interested in potential “medical tourism” to tribal lands to find physicians and methods that are disfavored by establishment medicine and Big Pharma.
- Post-COVID situation: Holly Gruhl, who frequently attends Tucson Symphony Orchestra performances, observed that there were many new musicians. TSO conductor Jose Gomez commented from the podium that there had been many deaths. Also, the audience was much diminished—half the seats were empty. TSO requires vaccination to attend. This anecdotal evidence suggest that the vaccine rollout has not been accompanied by a “return to normality.”
- Mortality rates: Dr. Gruhl presented information from financial analyst Ed Dowd, author of ‘Cause Unknown’: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022, who used data provided by Josh Stirling, concerning an alarming increase in excess deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Dr. Orient asked a retired Arizona actuary about this. He provided the appended report from the Society of Actuaries, and the following comments:
“The Society of Actuaries regularly does several life insurance mortality studies for different purposes, such as Group Term Life, Group Conversion life, Individual Term Life, Individual Whole Life, Disabled Lives, and the U. S. population overall. Each of these studies are usually replicated by counting (a) Reported Claims – based on when the claim was received by the insurer, (b) Incurred Claim – based on the date of death, and (c) Claim Amounts – i.e., based on how much each life was insured for. Usually, these data are also adjusted based on the age of the respective population. While you may not want to bother reading the attached (and I only briefly skimmed through it to see where things stand), let me draw your attention to tables 2.1 – 2.4, 3.1, 3.3, 4.1 and 4.3. Each of these tables shows a large mortality impact in 2020, followed by a larger impact in 2021, falling in Q1 2022, and almost back to the normal baseline by Q2 2022 (April – June 2022).”
Dr. Gruhl noted that he looked through the SOA report and, probably for political reasons, they did not break out any vaccinated/unvaccinated data. They have that data, as insurance companies collect HIPAA Privacy information, and there is every reason to believe people would be glad to report their “virtuous” vaccinated status. Josh Stirling broke out that vaccinated data, which Ed Dowd used. They reported that insurance companies strongly pushed, or mandated, vaccines and it would be 25 years before they broke out those vaccinated for higher premiums because of higher risk—so, everyone would have to bear those increases.
Dr. Gruhl also said that he was not sure what the swing up and then back down in SOA death rates implies about vaccine deaths. World death rates are continually up about 20% beginning late 2020. Plus, birth rates are down about 20%, with mechanisms directly associated with vaccines. There is also evidence from the UK and Israel that excess mortality is occurring.
Hospitals have claimed that death rates are nine times higher in the unvaccinated. However, Dr Gruhl notes that hospitals know that a person is vaccinated if the hospital gave the vaccine, but otherwise the patient may be lumped into the unvaccinated category.
Regarding the Ukraine war, Dr. Gruhl provided a link to a Jordan Peterson’s interview of Sen. Mike Lee, discussing the problem of lack of a clear objective and the enormous expenditure ($113 billion) with little oversight: 173) Russia/Ukraine, ESG, Gigantism and the West | Senator Mike Lee | EP 346 – YouTube.
