AMA Outsources Evidence to Providers

Recordings show AMA president Bobby Mukkamala advising a legislator to rely on a specific gender‑medicine clinician’s judgment while himself misstating basic evidence concepts and suicide claims. This reveals a chain where organizational leaders delegate evidentiary authority to conflicted practitioners who perform the procedures in question. The result is a feedback loop that can misinform policy while bypassing independent systematic reviews. — If medical guilds rely on conflicted experts to set standards in contested fields, public health policy and trust are shaped by incentives rather than impartial evidence.
