On October 2, 2025, John Davidson of BrokenTruth.TV sat down with Dr. Sheila Furey, president of the Virginia Medical Freedom Alliance (VAMFA), for an in-depth discussion on the intersections of constitutional rights, medical autonomy, and ongoing threats to personal freedoms. The interview, which touched on topics from COVID-era mandates to gender ideology and vaccine-informed consent, served as a prelude to VAMFA’s upcoming summit. As the nation continues to grapple with the aftermath of public health policies and increasing governmental controls, Dr. Furey’s insights underscore the urgency of her organization’s second annual event, co-hosted with Feds for Freedom.
Interview Summary
The conversation began with Dr. Furey outlining the summit’s focus: “Medical Freedom in the Constitution,” emphasizing how the U.S. Constitution should safeguard individual rights against government overreach. She highlighted the “destruction of the Constitution” during the COVID-19 pandemic through lockdowns, church closures, and vaccine mandates, which she described as violations of bodily autonomy and informed consent. Dr. Furey expressed concerns about emerging threats like digital IDs, Real ID, and mechanisms for total government control, drawing parallels to developments in Europe and Canada.
Davidson and Dr. Furey discussed the “eye-opener” of the past five years, noting a growing public thirst for information on these issues. Dr. Furey stressed the importance of educating families to protect their children from ongoing medical mandates and vaccine injuries, which she argued lack true informed consent. She criticized the childhood vaccine schedule, urging parents to question doctors about side effects, ingredients, and testing—information often not provided.
The interview delved into vaccine injuries, with Dr. Furey sharing stories of parents awakening to the harms and seeking healing for their children. She celebrated grassroots victories, such as those by Feds for Freedom against federal mandates, while lamenting the lack of accountability for figures like Pfizer’s Albert Bourla. Dr. Furey attributed this to indoctrination in the medical community, guilt among doctors, and government protection of Big Pharma, which she said has “destroyed the health of this nation” for over a century.
A significant portion addressed gender dysphoria and trans ideology. As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, Dr. Furey traced its roots to the 1920s–1930s with figures like Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld and Dr. Harry Benjamin, linking it to Dr. Alfred Kinsey’s abusive “research” on children. She criticized changes in the DSM from “gender identity disorder” to “gender dysphoria,” which she sees as normalizing discomfort rather than addressing underlying issues like sexual abuse (affecting 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys before age 18) or cognitive disabilities. Dr. Furey advised parents to affirm their child’s God-given gender as a gift and explore discomfort from a child’s perspective, sharing an anecdote of a boy confusing friendship with gender change.
The discussion also touched on broader societal issues, including the sexualization of children in schools and media, homeschooling as a response, and the need for churches and citizens to stand against policies like abortion without parental consent or medical assistance in dying. Dr. Furey warned of political threats in Virginia’s upcoming gubernatorial election, particularly candidate Abigail Spanberger’s positions, urging action to prevent “absolute tyranny.”
Throughout, both emphasized networking and empowerment through events like the summit, where attendees can connect with experts, celebrate victories, and build resilience against future overreach. Dr. Furey described the movement as “miraculous,” fostering sharing among medical freedom groups nationwide.
