Washington Doctor Under Investigation for Criticizing COVID Policies Wins Emergency Injunction
Children's Health Defense ^ | 5/26/23 | Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

Posted on 05/27/2023 8:55:41 AM PDT by CFW

A Washington state appeals court this week granted an emergency injunction to a retired doctor who faces disciplinary action from the Washington Medical Commission (WMC) arising from articles he published in a local newspaper in 2021, questioning the official narrative and medical advice related to COVID-19.

Dr. Richard Eggleston, a retired ophthalmologist in Clarkston, Washington, wrote the articles as part of an ongoing column in the Lewiston Morning Tribune. He challenged the WMC’s disciplinary proceedings against him on First Amendment free speech grounds.

According to Tuesday’s ruling:

“The Commission seeks to sanction Dr. Eggleston based on allegations that he, a currently retired physician and surgeon whose license is currently retired active-in-state volunteering, committed unprofessional conduct.”

Who would have thought even just ten years ago that physicians would be penalized for even questioning the government's official narrative on a public health issue?

Many people did. It's just that not enough of us were listening.

I am amused when people talk about free speech, and a little surprised when a court still finds it relevant. It’s in tatters, and only applies when a court finds it convenient.

Freedom of speech is threatened by people living in fear in high places people dare I say who gone crazy as other tyrants have in the past.

They aren’t sober, they aren’t sane.

And they think they are the one’s whose *hit doesn’t stink.

The situation only gets worse as we move further into the 2024 election cycle and as the conflicts with Russia and China escalate.

The state’s lawyer, Kristin Brewer, argued in the May 17 hearing that Eggleston’s First Amendment rights were not being violated, because the disciplinary hearing necessary to impose sanctions had not been held.

We are only seeking to violate his 1st ammendment rights. We have not yet actually succeeded in doing so says the deepster gubming functionary.

Eggleston’s Sept. 5, 2021, article stated that “ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are very effective and safe, and should be used along with vitamins C and D, melatonin, zinc, and quercetin,” and referenced “those who wish to control our individual lives and make us part of a Marxist/fascist collective.”

His July 11, 2021, article referenced censorship of non-establishment COVID-19 views in the media, naming the Trusted News Initiative as one of the actors responsible for this, along with Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum. “‘Fear porn’ is always the tool of tyrants,” Eggleston wrote.

In January, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) filed an antitrust lawsuit against the Trusted News Initiative, a consortium of news organizations including The Associated Press, BBC, Reuters and The Washington Post, alleging they colluded with other news outlets and social media platforms to censor diverging viewpoints on COVID-19.

Eggleston’s June 13, 2021, article was critical of the World Health Organization, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, suggesting that “Many entities want ivermectin to disappear.” He characterized medical journals such as JAMA, The Lancet, Nature and Chest as “ivermectin disinformation sources.”

And in his March 17, 2021, article, Eggleston said he believes that “soon, ivermectin, the inhaled steroid budesonide and others will be the standard of care for prevention and treatment of SARSCov2 (COVID-19).”

I wonder if the papers on retinal vein occlusion after CoupFlu vaccination have had anything to do with this...

Oh, and retinal detachments.

Let’s not forget those.
