ANALYSIS – Your federal tax dollars hard at work – the far-left lunacy has taken control of so many formerly respected American institutions that it's tough for some of them to outdo themselves.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), though, wasn't content just misinforming Americans on COVID-19's origins, risks, masking, and lockdowns; it is now promoting leftist insanity and likely endangering the health of babies.
And it is time for Congress to investigate. (RELATED: CDC May Have Your Cellphone Data To Track COVID Compliance: Report)
The CDC, with a $12 billion budget and more than 12,000 employees, is an Atlanta-based federal agency tasked with protecting Americans from disease outbreaks and other public health threats. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, ex-head of the CDC under Joe Biden, resigned effective June 30 without explanation.
Previously an infectious diseases specialist at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, Walensky had no experience running a government agency prior to being picked for the job by Biden.
The agency recently published advice for trans-identified and non-binary individuals on how to breastfeed their infants, which the health agency called “chestfeeding.”
Biological men who transition to women can produce a form of breastmilk by taking a cocktail of hormone drugs that mimic the changes a woman's body undergoes during the late stages of pregnancy and shortly after the birth of a child.
Initially developed for biological women who adopted or had a child via surrogacy and wanted to breastfeed, it's called the Newman-Goldfarb protocol, and it tricks the body into lactating.
The CDC's Health Equity Considerations page explains that these biological men don't need to physically have a child to feed a child from the chest: “An individual does not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed,” the CDC website reads.
The now thoroughly discredited agency also notes that breastfeeding can be referred to as ‘bodyfeeding.'
It notes: “Some families may have other preferred terminology for how they feed their babies, such as nursing, chestfeeding, or bodyfeeding.”
Jay W. Richards, a senior research fellow in religious liberty and civil society at the Heritage Foundation, called for a greater review of the health agency from congressional leaders. (RELATED: CDC's Latest Revelation Will Churn Your Stomach)
He told The Christian Post that the CDC showed a willingness to put politics ahead of public health during COVID, adding that the “latest debacle” over “chestfeeding is even worse.”
Encouraging biological men on off-label gender change drugs to ‘chestfeed' babies is controversial and potentially risky.
The Christian Posts added:
“The agency seems to be tacitly endorsing males' chestfeeding' infants with the help of experimental drug cocktail now proves that the CDC has been captured by an ideology that puts the fetishes of disturbed men over the wellbeing of infants,” Richards stated. “It doesn't even pretend that these experiments have been carefully tested. Its commitment to so-called ‘health equity' seems to override any old-timey concerns about the effects of drugs, and weird discharges from male bodies, on defenseless infants.”
The CDC's endorsement of biological men feeding infants directly from the breast has also received pushback from several health experts, who warn that the long-term impact of the practice is not well-known.
U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, who served as an Obstetrician for 25 years and delivered over 5,000 babies, said in a statement that the CDC statement is “irresponsible” and “defies science and safety.”
“In my opinion, the CDC has lost all credibility and is in direct conflict with the FDA for marketing a non-FDA approved drug,” Marshall said. “A biological male filled with hormones and a concoction of other drugs that have not been studied that could harm a baby should NEVER be encouraged. When will the Woke Left wake up and realize what they are doing to our country?”
