“Just because it's physicians, it's no different than if someone called you claiming to be the IRS trying to steal your money. It’s a scam, and we protect Americans from scams.” @BrianCCastrucci@deBeaumontFndtn#disinformationdoctors https://t.co/3EGu1pbOTr

“Lives are at stake. State medical boards have the ability & the responsibility to counter the spread of misinformation by taking real action against the biggest offenders.”
#DisinformationDoctors#medtwitter
State Medical Boards need to investigate doctors who are deliberately spreading covid disinformation. Loved ones have been exploited for financial compensation and social media fame by doctors they have trusted. Enough is enough.
State medical boards are supposed to protect the public from incompetent practitioners.
Why are they allowing #disinformationdoctors like Ann Bukacek to worsen the medical #misinformation crisis?

@ConceptualJames Exploiting the tragedy of Jews who were humiliated, marked with a yellow star, isolated, starved, dehumanized, and murdered in ghettos during the Holocaust in a debate about vaccination that saves human lives during pandemic is shameful. It's a sad symptom of moral decay.
"As a profession, we need to take a stance against this."

In an interview with @tarpleyhitt from @Gawker, antivaccine activist RFK jr. struggled with questions about his organization’s funding, called the reporter a pharma rep and stood behind comparing vaccines to the Holocaust in his book. https://t.co/tFopMJ5PpC
This comes on the heels of a letter to the company from @AGWilliamTong and more than a dozen other Democratic state attorneys general demanding more information about its handling of vaccine misinformation.

Carlson, who will not say whether he's been vaccinated against COVID-19 but has not publicly denied it, described Kennedy on Monday as "one of the smartest and most articulate chroniclers of the erosion of our civil liberties in this country." - Via @BusinessInsider
This RFK?⤵️
At one point during this interview, RFK Jr. says that the Polio vaccine is "flawed" and actually causes Polio (demonstrably false), and Carlson nods along before saying:
"This is an exhaustively reported book that I can't recommend strongly enough."
