Physicians who post COVID-19 vaccine misinformation may lose license, medical panel says
Beckers Hospital Review ^ | 08/06/2021 | Jack Drees

Posted on 08/07/2021 5:44:49 AM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

The Federation of State Medical Boards warned July 29 that physicians and other healthcare professionals could be at risk of losing their medical licenses if they spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on social media, online and in the media.

FSMB, a nonprofit that represents all U.S. state medical boards, said any clinicians who create or spread vaccine misinformation or disinformation risk disciplinary action by state medical boards, including suspension or revocation of their medical license, according to a statement emailed to Becker's Hospital Review.

"Due to their specialized knowledge and training, licensed physicians possess a high degree of public trust and therefore have a powerful platform in society, whether they recognize it or not," FSMB said. "They also have an ethical and professional responsibility to practice medicine in the best interests of their patients and must share information that is factual, scientifically grounded and consensus-driven for the betterment of public health."

FSMB has not yet formally defined "misinformation" or "disinformation" in its policy, but the organization's ethics committee is studying the issues of physician misinformation and disinformation and plans to provide more guidance at a later date, an FSMB spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Becker's…

Doctors are no longer allowed to say anything that could “sow distrust” about covid-19 vaccines, and they won’t be allowed to collect their own data, share information with other doctors, make observations, or draw their own conclusions. Doctors will no longer be allowed to speak out in interviews with the media, unless the interview promotes vaccines.

There is no such thing as 97% consensus. If 3 out of 100 researchers strongly disagree, it is NOT consensus. History has vindicated the small minority who have made the most significant discoveries. Often at risk of their good names and careers

So if they don’t give a doctors assessment/recommendation, or they don’t lie for the politburo they lose their license.

SOOOOOOOOOOO—The politicians can lie all they wish, and the DOCTORS are going to be punished for telling us the truth????

What the hell has happened in the USA???

I trust a person with YEARS of medical knowledge much more than a politician-—who will lie about anything & everything to hold power. MY Mobile Vet has 6 years +++ of medical training & about 35 years of mobile large animal practice.

I trust her FAR more than anything from Biden or Fauci.

They certainly are pushing us into a shooting war.

They’ve been doing the same with climate science and academics for years.
It’s only natural that they’ve extended their oppression and censorship to this.

Why should doctors be in MORE danger for spreading this “misinformation” than spreading other misinformation? Does this not infer that it’s been OK and actually approved for doctors to spread misinformation before?

Who decides which information is misinformation?

I seem to recall the Left saying there is no such thing as objective truth. What happened to that?

Same kind of oppression could easily be applied to the specialized field of law. Citizen oversight is next to impossible.

Are they allowed to bring up the Nuremberg Code, and it's ban against coerced medical experimentation?

Larry Sanger [Wikipedia co-founder] The Astonishing Hubris Of A Global Experimental Vaccine

FRIDAY, AUG 06, 2021

“Never in the history of the world has there been a global push to administer an experimental medicine to all of humanity, billions of us, at the same time.

I want you to stop and reflect on that. Imagine the hubris it required both to carry out this plan and to propagandize the world to carry it out.

“Hubris?” you ask. “What do you mean?”

All doctors must parrot the official government statement or lose their license.

Disinformation = Information the Left does not like.

In addition:

The basis for scientific research is that there are almost no absolutes. Everything is subject to re-examination to determine if accepted “facts” are correct.

To deny this is to risk a return to the modern version of the dark ages.

Maybe doctors who get “unlicensed” can advertize that fact. I would be all too happy to visit them for consultations about my health and write them a check.

Nina Teicholz* realized that doctors and medical researchers have not been allowed to voice independent opinions for at least the past 50 years.

And it ALL comes down to our government. If government says that fat is bad and carbs are good (which all the evidence now says is wrong), then literally EVERYONE will ‘agree’, as researchers who don’t ‘agree’ lose their grants or, for doctors, expose themselves (and their medical groups) to massive liability.

In other words, as long as you can say “I was just following (government) orders” you’re ok, and protected. Sound familiar?
