Joint Statement from the American Board of Family Medicine, American Board of Internal Medicine, and American Board of Pediatrics on Dissemination of Misinformation by Board Certified Physicians about COVID-19
The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), which supports its member state medical licensing boards, has recently issued a statement saying that providing misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine contradicts physicians’ ethical and professional responsibilities, and therefore may subject a physician to disciplinary actions, including suspension or revocation of their medical license. We at the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), and the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) support FSMB’s position. We also want all physicians certified by our Boards to know that such unethical or unprofessional conduct may prompt their respective Board to take action that could put their certification at risk.
Expertise matters, and board-certified physicians have demonstrated that they have stayed current in their field. Spreading misinformation or falsehoods to the public during a time of a public health emergency goes against everything our Boards and our community of board-certified physicians stand for. The evidence that we have safe, effective and widely available vaccines against COVID-19 is overwhelming. We are particularly concerned about physicians who use their authority to denigrate vaccination at a time when vaccines continue to demonstrate excellent effectiveness against severe illness, hospitalization and death.
We all look to board-certified physicians to provide outstanding care and guidance; providing misinformation about a lethal disease is unethical, unprofessional and dangerous. In times of medical emergency, the community of expert physicians committed to science and evidence collectively shares a responsibility for giving the public the most accurate and timely health information available, so they can make decisions that work best for themselves and their families.
First question. What is misinformation and who determines it as such? All you need to know that so many for some reason are in on limiting other possible treatments aka knowingly killing innocent people.
He addressed that directly in his email to me. “I note they did not define misinformation. Apparently, it is anything other than what they say. Very scary.”
Loved Denninger's column (pedal to the metal - don't let your mouth write a check your body can't cash, Rep Govs) and loved the FDA decision. The truth WILL win out as long as we have courageous independents to spread it. And yet just today I learn the Italians (the ITALIANS) are dragging this out:
I never would have believed they would let themselves be bossed around like this (also the Aussies). When I was in Italy on and off in the late '80s to mid '90s they used to have large strikes and protest parades including humiliating the effigies of politicians nearly every week in Rome - didn't make any difference what the cause - just for the fun of it. But then again, Mussolini. Is it something about human nature that wants to deny the truth and become part of the "collective" in denial of all reason? Or is it simply that Zelenko was/is correct?
I might have concluded that there was no ulterior motive were it not for the fact that they have denied natural immunity being far superior to synthetic (vaxed) and have demanded everyone get the shot. Just looking at the CDC Seroprevalance data, https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#national-lab we see that there are 25-30% of Americans that are naturally immune (interesting that PR is over 75%). Why is Fauxi still denying NI and why does he insist that kids get the jab when we all know they are at higher risk of vaccine injury vs. little risk from the virus? I used to pull my hair out wondering why they were being this way unless there is some other reason to deny the obvious. Is it vax passports and government control? Maybe? It all makes no sense in a reasonable world, but with everything going one, we haven't been there for quite a while.
Also, just to point out the measures taken to censor and restrict a very effective treatment that shut the virus down. Ivermectin. Why would they do that? Why does the media censor it? Why do governments threaten any doctor that wants to prescribe it? What happened to right to try? It's all quite scary and whether it's about profits or something else, we'll find out soon enough I'm sure.
For me its clearly about the money. The party needs a way to transfer government funds to personal income. MRNA vaccines do that, ivermectin does not. They couldn't even have the expensive vax approved so quickly if there was a treatment.
Long term, its also the pathway to government run health care. If everyone accepted treatment from the government for COVID, they can be told that now they have to do it for all medical treatment. They could do this like India with treatment packs, but without the massive amount of personal income.
And after Biden's restriction of monoclonal antibodies -- it should be clear to everyone that life saving treatment will be withheld from those deemed not deserving. We're probably on the brink of that being acceptable by the 50% of the population that worships the government as their God.
Very interesting article. I think it's Malone who's always saying we have to distinguish between infection with the virus and the actual disease. This study is saying that IVM doesn't necessarily act on the viral load but it does act on the symptoms of the disease itself--inflammation, etc. I think.
This is the problem I face every day. I spend huge amounts of time reading stuff that confirms stuff that was put out by knowledgeable experts and institutions--over and over and over. "Voluminously" hardly begins to describe what's out there, nor the time required to digest and discuss it all. How to deal with this? It's important, but it ceases to be news. So I look for a new angle if I can find one.
Thanks. I've been battling a cold for a week and today I feel well enough to go out and cut the lawn--which badly needs it. I'll be doing that soon in minutes from now. One thing that bums me about Substack--I'm not looking for money out of this--is that it appears that it's not possible to enable searching without some pretty significant effort. Also, you can't seem to develop a ToC for past posts--you just have to keep scrolling/paging back.
That doesn't appear to be possible. What I'm finding is that, while Substack is more free and is intuitive to use, it's also in some important ways more primitive than Blogger. Like, lack of default search function.

We need to be on guard for all possibilities.
Apologies, I just realize the Zelenko video may not be playable. If you have a problem, here is a brief account with excerpts of his testimony: https://dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/4323/What-Is-Dr-Zelenko-Telling-Us.aspx
Amen on the Ivermectin
Lawrence Jones on Fox just called the Panel's vote as 16-*2*.
Too bad his staff would blow such an easy story.
Wish Lee had the guts to do this. But alas he's RINO to the core.

For all those reasons I vacilate between or among 1) greed 2) eugenics based madness 3) some combination of 1 and 2.
