Healthcare Reform

The Independent Medical Alliance responds to the New York Times attack news story on Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Chairman and IMA Senior Fellow Dr. Kirk Milhoan.

In medicine, silence can be more alarming than noise. Ecology presents a similar scenario, and the silence is concerning.

“During COVID, the WHO failed at its core job of demanding transparency, confronting early misinformation, and protecting the world from politicized science. Instead, it amplified government talking points, silenced legitimate scientific dissent, and punished doctors who asked reasonable questions.” – Dr. Joseph Varon

“When patients understand prices, when doctors are free to practice without insurer interference, and when government stops subsidizing inefficiency, costs come down and care improves. Transparency is not a threat to good medicine, it is essential to it.” – Dr. Joseph Varon

“This is the next step in bringing patient-centered reform to American healthcare. We're mobilizing thousands of independent doctors to dismantle medical mandates state by state, restoring true patient-informed choice and freedom.” – Dr. Joseph Varon

One IMA team member has made it her personal mission to share our free resources with everyone who needs them—friends facing cancer diagnoses, strangers in coffee queues, anyone who'll listen.

As public scrutiny of vaccines grows, concerns about safety and consent are rising. In this shocking five‑part series, Dr. Clayton Baker exposes scientific failures at the heart of vaccinology.

“For more than two decades, the childhood vaccine schedule expanded into a smorgasbord of pharmaceutical offerings, with insufficient attention to long-term health impacts. Today, HHS took a decisive step toward restoring balance.” – Dr. Joseph Varon

Dr. Kirk Milhoan discusses new CDC vaccine guidance, risk-based decision-making, and informed consent on The National Desk.

“Dr. Frankenstein has no place in today’s healthcare. Yet many delusional physicians would put Frankenstein to shame for their mutilation procedures on young patients. Today, that ends.” –Dr. Joseph Varon, IMA President

IMA was in Washington, D.C. last week for discussions on informed consent, parental rights, and the role of independent doctors in healthcare policy.

IMA welcomes the Food and Drug Administration’s decision to expand its internal review of potential COVID-19 vaccine–related deaths to include adults.

For the first time, a mainstream, high-impact medical journal has published a comprehensive investigation into this emerging post-vaccination condition.

The Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) today praised the latest Presidential Memorandum directing federal health agencies to compare U.S. core childhood vaccine recommendations with best practices from peer, developed countries.

IMA today praised ACIP for voting to end the universal recommendation that all newborns receive a Hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth when the mother tests negative for the virus.

IMA welcomed yesterday’s announcement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) outlining new federal actions to reinforce parental authority in children’s healthcare decisions.

Congratulations to IMA Senior Fellow and board-certified pediatric cardiologist Dr. Kirk Milhoan on being appointed Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

The Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) released a statement today regarding the FDA weekend memo that identified at least 10 children who died after receiving the COVID-19 mRNA shot.

This Thanksgiving, Dr. Joseph Varon and all of us at IMA are deeply grateful for the support of our community, colleagues, friends, and families.

Dr. Joseph Varon’s The Great Medical Awakening, delivered at CHD’s Moment of Truth conference, is a powerful reflection on medical capture and the rise of independent medicine.

IMA praises new HHS report concluding that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical sex-rejecting interventions carry significant and long-term harms for minors.

A new national survey by Rasmussen Reports, conducted in November 2025 among 1,292 adults, finds that more than one-third of Americans say they experienced an adverse side effect from the COVID shot, with ten percent describing their side effects as significant.

“Americans have figured out that mRNA has little value and major downside risks as it relates to COVID. It’s sad that the medical establishment pushed this risky shot against patients’ best interests.” – Dr. Joseph Varon.

Following the end of the federal government shutdown, the Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) and President Dr. Joseph Varon call for a national healthcare reset.

The old world of captured medicine is collapsing under its own weight. The new one is already being born—in every honest conversation, every uncensored study, every act of compassion unmediated by permission.

The America of 1960 was healthier than the America of 2025 because they lived in an environment that did not conspire against physiology.

Last week, the Independent Medical Alliance convened leading physicians, researchers, and policy influencers for a few days of strategic engagement in the nation’s capital. Through legislative meetings and a private health policy reception, IMA strengthened its mission to restore integrity, transparency, and independence to American healthcare.

IMA leaders joined the 2025 Reclaiming Conference in Canada to address the nation’s healthcare crisis and reflect on the global struggle for honesty, ethics, and medical freedom.

Medicine will either be a vocation, or it will be nothing. We can remain cogs in a machine that rewards obedience above conscience—or reclaim our calling and stand with patients as healers.

On one side stand entrenched medical authorities and their corporate allies. On the other stand President Trump, RFK Jr., Dr. Makary, and physicians who insist on transparency and patient autonomy.

Why did it take a reformer like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to do the simple math and find the apparent link between acetaminophen and autism? And why did HHS bury for years the study findings that presented this statistically demonstrable link?

Pediatrician Dr. Elizabeth Mumper discusses new Tylenol-autism research, why she stopped recommending it decades ago, and the importance of listening to parents' concerns.

The past week has been a watershed moment for the Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) as we advance our mission to restore transparency, scientific integrity, and the sacred doctor-patient relationship in medicine.

How did the CDC lose its way—and can it be saved? IMA President and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joseph Varon shares his thoughts in a new op-ed in The Hill.

A few days ago, President Trump demanded, in a post on Truth Social, full COVID shot data transparency from pharmaceutical companies. In response, the IMA delivered to the White House this morning the following open letter to the President.

Backing RFK Jr., IMA says, "It's past time for CDC to get a top-to-bottom house cleaning."

IMA doctors celebrate HHS and FDA’s decision to revoke emergency use authorization for COVID-19 mRNA shots, calling it the first step in reckoning with the damage caused by forced mandates.

Dr. Joseph Varon exposes how hospitals began organ procurement on patients showing signs of life, revealing systemic ethical failures in the U.S. transplant system driven by profit over patient dignity and proper medical protocols.

The Independent Medical Alliance praises HHS Secretary RFK Jr.’s decision to end 22 BARDA mRNA programs, citing safety concerns and calling it a victory for patient protection and medical accountability.

IMA applauds RFK for ending hospital vaccine mandates tied to federal funding—but universities and academic centers are still playing by those rules.

As ethical boundaries collapse across the healthcare landscape, IMA stands firm to protect patients, parents, and transparency.
