WH Shuts Down ‘Ridiculous Media Chatter’, Says Trump Isn’t Firing Dr. Fauci
The White House released a statement Monday shutting down the mainstream “ridiculous” media reports alleging that the President is considering firing Coronavirus Task Force member and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci, saying the story is completely false and that the President has no plans to fire him.
Here is the statement:

The President retweeted a tweet on Thursday from DeAnna Lorraine, a former Republican congressional candidate who attempted to unseat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who argued that it’s “Time to #FireFauci” over criticism that Trump didn’t act early enough to mitigate the spread if the coronavirus.
Trump, however, didn’t acknowledge Lorraine’s call to fire the doctor and merely slammed the criticism against his actions in combating the virus, “Sorry Fake News, it’s all on tape. I banned China long before people spoke up. Thank you @OAN.”

Breaking Friday, Florida’s Board of Medicine and state Board of Osteopathic Medicine voted to ban puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgery for minors in the state.
“The chief point of agreement among all of the experts — and I must emphasize this — is that there is a pressing need for additional, high-quality clinical research,” said the board of medicine’s chair, Dr. David A. Diamond, a radiation oncologist.
More than 70 percent of children with gender dysphoria “typically outgrow” it, City Journal reported earlier this year.
National Review reports:
The board of medicine voted 6-3, with five others not present, on Friday to forbid doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and hormones or performing surgeries until a patient is 18. Exceptions will be made for children who are already receiving the treatment.
The Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine also voted to ban the use of puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgery in new patients who are minors but allowed an exception for children enrolled in clinical studies.
Florida is also one of at least nine states that prohibits Medicaid coverage of gender-transition services.
