January 6, 2025, Diana Lutfi (founder) reached out to Christina Digiulio and offered to write a counter-letter to the 77 Nobel laureates who attacked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. She was working on a legal contract, looked at the plurality of research around Ivermectin to defend a physician client, while at the same time noticing that there were enough published research to support her client’s position. Yet, she also knew that her client would only truly win if healthcare academic culture reformed from within. Diana saw contrasting narratives about the roles of science, medicine, and society. Diana also knew about the massive attacks on high-integrity academics, physicians, and healthcare providers who could speak up, disagree, or act contrary to their national associations because of their colleagues.
January 7, 2025, Diana reached out to Dr. Johnathan Edwards, who had participated in the Detransitioners’ Community Amicus for U.S. v Skrmetti alongside her, asking if anyone planned to counter the mass attack letters on a viral scale, sourcing various news for information and data. She pulled from her resources to write two letters from two movements, where her network lies: detransitioners—as well as—academics- to support Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
January 8-10, 2025, Diana worked alongside Rebecca (Becca) Classen and Alex Lindstrom to compile a list of living Nobel Prize winners. She compiled a list of emails of the Nobel prize winners while visiting her alma-mater, University of California, Berkeley. She also penned the Detransitioners’ Support Letter for Robert F. Kennedy Jr, which was featured in the DailyWire and JustTheNews.
January 10, 2025, Diana asked if Becca knew of any PhD’s to recruit to help mobilize the letter to Nobel Laureates. Becca connected Diana with Dr. Gennaro Durso from the University of Miami whose personal experience led to co-authoring the full letter.
January 11-12, 2025, Diana and Gennaro work to refine the letter, incorporating their mutual networks of supporters, including Dr. Leah Houston, Dr. Mark Hyman, and countless others, who provided additional feedback and support in spreading this letter.
January 13-20, 2025, a growing number of individuals helped spread the word to their networks, their social media platforms, and their blogs (see news media for highlighted content). The letter’s signatories grew through friends and friends of friends and became viral around inauguration time.
January 21-Feburary 13, 2025, more grassroots-level media and a network of supporters later, the letter reached 5000+ academics. There was growing need to provide legal support, legal information, basic civics education, and a working understanding of legal rights. This became even more evident as health freedom members traveled to DC seeking to watch the Senate confirmation hearings. The challenges derived from the lack of access to knowledge and insight created an impetus to form and organize a DC Health Policy think tank in record time.
February 13, 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is confirmed and becomes the new U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services.
February 14, 2025, to now. The race to restructure HHS leadership, reframe the narrative arc of this country, and bend it towards healing and justice is on. There is a growing need for the accuracy of information, a working understanding of legal rights and civics, the acknowledgment of past wrongs and failed ethics, and the ability to start forgiving and trusting again.
