I’m a lifelong Democrat. I voted for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. I used to have an inherent aversion to Republicans, as I joke with colleagues, similar to how the vaccinated feel about the unvaccinated today. But as the pandemic unfolded, and I discussed with doctors across the country and around the world my experience treating patients, I met many new conservative colleagues and friends who put politics aside to focus on doing our best at the bedside. It made me more tolerant and understanding of their worldviews.
At the same time, I used to view Democrats, and the center-left more broadly, as the champions of free speech both in civil society and in our professional institutions. But now, as with today’s progressive political movement, medical boards are adopting policies that censor opinions, defining such speech as mis- or disinformation, especially scientific opinions around COVID. Medical professionals who refuse to toe the party line risk censorship, cancellation, and even the loss of license—a fate far worse than getting banned from Twitter.
The trend is forcing doctors who exhibit critical thinking to face an existential choice: join the mob and support what many of us believe are dangerous policies without a sound scientific basis, or stand up and risk losing your livelihood.
This trend has troubling long-term implications for patients—something all of us will become at some point in our lives.

Take two more red pills and call me in the morning.
Dear doctor, now you know why Republicans/conservatives think the way they do, and why they don’t vote for the people you vote for.
I view the Democrat party as supportive of the little guy and the Republican party supportive of giving the big guys free rein.
The pendulum can swing too far in either direction. Over the years I’ve voted both ways.
I’d say censorship is a means to an end and can be employed by both parties.
Yup.
The woke mob will now attempt to get his medical license revoked. Funny what one or two of those “red pills” can do to a person’s perception of things!
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
Too many of our pols are Deep State
That goes for our healthcare professionals, too.
Lololol…yes…take a few more red pills and then you can speak with credibility…
I threw every body I could to the alligators.
Why is it looking at me like that now?
I am one of the “good guys”
The left is just one big mob of tribal, violent loud mouthed bullies, and they want to kill all of us. Any state that copies California is nuts and there are a few.
“doctors who exhibit critical thinking”
This guy may be on our side in regards to CoVid protocols, but I’m sorry. Anyone who “voted for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden” isn’t a critical thinker. IMHO.
See, right there is like starting off a statement with "I'm not racist but... "
Excellent prescription.

Lol … well said. Thanks for posting!
Perfect. LOL.
This “doctor” has hit the trifecta: The greatest, most destructive evil in the world today derives from the Clinton/Obama/Biden regime. He may as well admit he worships Lucifer, Belzebub and Baal. /spit
Good summary of where we are.
You really need to add both Bushes to the list.
Ronald Reagan used to speak of an “axis of evil” in the world, which, of course, the media of that day mocked and trashed. Well, the axis of evil still exists. It has simply added new faces to the existing ones. It is the thread that holds all the leftist agenda together.
Look around; it is not difficult to figure out both who the old faces are and who the new.
Impeach 46, and convict. Pull on this thread, and then watch how the leftist magic coat falls apart.
