Pennsylvania members of the Committee to Protect Medicare said Thursday that politically-motivated attacks on Gov. Tom Wolf’s actions to control COVID-19 are a danger to their patients and all state residents.
They said they are speaking out because of this week’s opinion by a federal judge which said restrictions including the state-wide state-at-home order were unconstitutional.
The lawsuit was driven by Republicans who echo views similar to President Donald Trump, who pressed Wolf and other governor’s to “reopen” their states even as COVID-19 cases were rising and public health officials feared hospitals would be overwhelmed.
“As physicians, we’re concerned that blind, unquestioning loyalty to President Trump by elected officials in Harrisburg is getting in the way of good public health policies and endangering people’s lives,” said Dr. Max Cooper, a Chester County emergency physician. “Physicians have a responsibility to speak out when we see harm being done, and harm is being done right now to the people of Pennsylvania.”
The stay-at-home order and closings of non-essential businesses which the federal judge found unconstitutional have been eased.
However, Cooper said Wolf might need to resume some of them if cases spike again, as many experts predict will happen this fall.
Cooper further said that study data and his own experience at a hospital convinced him that the Wolf restrictions saved many lives.
The exact impact of the federal judge’s ruling remains unclear. The Wolf administration noted that the requirement to wear face masks and restrictions on restaurants and bars remain in effect.
But Wolf also said he will ask for a stay to prevent the court decision from being enforced and file an appeal.
The Committee to Protect Medicare has 170 members in Pennsylvania, which has about 40,000 active physicians. It has 2,600 nationally, according to a spokeswoman.
Don't they wish! Especially before November 3.

I live in Chester County, and Dr. Max can go f*** himself.
Cordially speaking...
But America’s Frontline Doctors get censored when they talk HCQ.
This is nothing but a Rachel Levine stunt.
Tyranny has arrived and it's hungry.
Committee to protect Medicare fraud for doctors
With expanded testing and the questionable metopes of testing and counting, new cases should not be the metric. It should be hospitalizations and deaths.
Children! Arbeit macht frei.
They scream “thousands of new cases!” implying thousands deathly ill or dead. It’s almost exclusively cases where there was not only no illness but no symptoms as well. It’s turned out that a large portion of the tests are false positive.
It's the first time in history that the healthy have been quarantined.

“Committee to Protect Medicare”
Sure doesn’t sound left wing political at all, huh?
This is called PROJECTION, doc. Heal thyself, you moronic Leftist tool.
These are the same “doctors” who want to know how many guns you have.
Straight as an arrow
LOL. He looks like he’d be buddies with Barney Frank and Larry Craig...
