Fergus Walsh: BBC Medical Editor and a trans connection...

[LetsTalkTwaddle]

Fergus Walsh has been a medical correspondent for the BBC for years and since 2020 has been Medical Editor. His wife Dr Veronique Walsh is Vice President of Gilead Sciences, a pharmaceutical company that over the last few years has given more than $4 million to community-led transgender organisations. Gilead specialises in HIV treatments: according to them 'Fourteen percent of all Transgender women are living with HIV, with Black and Latina Transgender women even more impacted or at risk.1'

They've also had Gender Identity and Transition policies since 2019: Launched in 2019, our new Global Gender Identity and Transition Policy formalizes our core values and practices in a way that encourages employees to express their true gender identity, supports those who transition and aims to foster an affirming workplace for our transgender and gender non-binary colleagues. In response to an internal survey, on U.S. National Coming Out Day in 2019, we announced a new self-identification option that allows employees to self-ID sexual orientation and gender identity. While it’s important to know the number of employees who self-identify in the organization, self-identification also helps foster more inclusive workplaces through education and provides data for future talent development.

Anyone who's ever wondered why the BBC's medical coverage has completely avoided questioning gender ideology and gender treatment might justifiably wonder whether Fergus Walsh has influenced coverage of the subject. I'm not aware of the BBC covering issues such as the massive rise in cosmetic mastectomies or the dangers of SRS. Perhaps we now know why.

Fergus Walsh chooses not to report on a medical scandal and your reaction is to blame his wife? This is quite some misogynistic conspiracy theorising.

It is not about "conspiracies", but about clear conflicts of interest - which usually have to be declared when in public office.

How can we get the WPATH scandal out into the media?
I am so angry and frustrated.

It is about conspiracy theorising. Like there's a screenshot going around on Twitter showing that an email to Fergus Walsh from someone who was formerly a senior media professional had been blocked by the BBC's email system.

I've attached that screenshot, see how it's been cropped to miss out the crucial details of why the message was blocked? For all we know it could've been blocked because it was too large, or had attachments that aren't allowed, or many other reasons that don't involve Fergus Walsh actively blocking the email somehow.

So instead of actual facts we get this partial information, a reference to where his wife works as if this can somehow be pinned on her, and are invited to put 2 + 2 together to make 5.

It's ridiculous.

Fergus Walsh should not be able to 'choose' what he reports on.

Perhaps it is wise not to spend so much time on twitter?

Twitter or not, though, If Fergus Walsh is not reporting on important issues around Health and the Health Service because of his wife's vested interests....that is an issue.

The medical editor of the BBC not reporting on a medical scandal that his wife will be implicated in? Surely not. The BBC have always been totally clear on their impartiality.

Or something something.

Too many of the vocal 'opinion formers' on this issue, whether that's Fox Killer, David Tennant or Fergus, have too personal a hand in this game to give an objective picture.

That is why the gap between what the are telling us the public thinks, and what the public actually thinks, is so wide.

Elite male opinions do not match the opinions of ordinary citizens...a dangerous place to be.

Especially unforgiveable for the BBC. I know Beeb objectivity is laughable but really.

Gilead in the news again on C4 News right now, on AIDS trials in Africa.

I think this was in response to the miners strike 1926 but am open to correction.
