ACTION ALERT🚨 We have dealt with the consequences of disinformation spread by doctors abusing their expertise & enough is enough. It’s time to report them to the medical boards that legitimize their behavior—we want YOU to help discredit #ADoctorADay. #NoLicenseForDisinformation
The Federation of States Medical Boards, which represents medical boards, released this statement on misinformation, highlighting how public trust can be eroded by professionals trafficking in dangerous information— and how it puts us all at risk. #NoLicenseForDisinformation
Unfortunately @TheFSMB does not have power to address individual physicians, which is why we need YOU. We will be highlighting #ADoctorADay— showing you their egregious behavior, & listing the phone numbers YOU need to call to help make sure there’s #NoLicenseForDisinformation.
We want inboxes full of complaints, phones ringing off the hook. Each state’s licensing is different, so we’ll help make sure all bases are covered in daily threads, but we need YOU. Do not let Medical Boards allow this harmful behavior to continue. #NoLicenseForDisinformation
While we have a list of practitioners to begin with, but we know there’s more disinfo docs than we can count. We need YOU to name names so we can make sure these dangerous actors are held to account, & REALLY do no harm. Reply or qt with names, or DIY! #NoLicenseForDisinformation
We’re talking about doctors who have:
• downplayed the seriousness of #COVID19
• denied the effectiveness of masks
• pushed unproven and/or ineffective treatments & medications (like hydroxychloroquine)
• shared conspiracy theories about vaccines
Docs like the one pictured—insurrectionist Simone Gold—who engage in spreading deadly #COVID19 disinfo have faced virtually no consequences so far. They helped create mass shortages of HCQ for disabled folks already #HighRiskCovid19, it can’t continue. #NoLicenseForDisinformation
If you’re ready to see these super spreaders of disinformation held accountable, start reporting them to their state med boards. If you need help locating a license or state specific reporting info please let me, @Autre_Vierge, or @NickSawyerMD know. #NoLicenseForDisinformation
Join us, won’t you? We’re done with this pandemic as much as anyone else. It’s time to make it happen whatever we way can— here’s one way to try and stop the flood of disinformation these quacks perpetuate. #NoLicenseForDisinformation
We’re reporting #ADoctorADay for spreading harmful false information about the pandemic, starting with SIMONE GOLD. Click through for the whole thread, or just go straight to file a complaint! LICENSE G70224 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 #NoLicenseForDisinformation mbc.ca.gov/consumers/file…
So awed by @MattMcGorry’s courage sharing his journey thus far with #LongCovid. Just by the numbers, we know he’s so far from alone, but nothing will change without bravery like Matt’s, among so many anticovid actions. It doesn’t have to be like this. 😷✊🏻 instagram.com/reel/DBra_TSRh…x.com/dustindrury/st…
( and yes, careful watchers of my content may notice some similarity in the editing style and graphics used hehe ✨ it is a genuine honor n privilege to help share stories like matt’s )
I must echo this—if somehow @MattMcGorry’s vid makes it to other high profile folks with #LongCovid, I hope they see his bravery as an example worth emulating. It doesn’t have to be like this, but things won’t change without pressure & some of us are pushing hard as we can as is.
this is *precisely* why i share the way i do on tiktok—folks quite like my lil “day in my life” vlogs, my showing how mitigation fits into my activities. there’s little to no official guidance, so lacking nigh any examples, how can ppl even imagine what they don’t know can exist?
@lapublichealth Wastewater shows viral loads, after a slight decline, are increasing again. @CAPublicHealth & @lapublichealth disgraceful choices to remove mitigation from masks to isolation will no doubt push that uptick even higher. Pathetic excuses for public servants; You should be ashamed.
🚨NEW: How @elonmusk Sold MAGA on HCQ — and Opened the Covid-19 Disinformation Floodgates
Ever the catalyst, Elon helped take mere embers & started a forrest fire. Let’s explore this excellent, thorough article by @karamballes in @whowhatwhy 1/?👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
2/ First: If you didn’t know, I am one of at least 825000 lupus patients who could not access my essential, daily hydroxychloroquine come March of 2020, as detailed if you click “lupus patients” in paragraph 3, actually. I personally understand the harm this piece outlines👇🏻
3/ Disclosure aside, it is the rare piece that makes clear the harm to autoimmune patients, when this reality only makes the outrageous behavior this piece details all the more costly to lives. That said…
A lil GoogleDoc began making the Silicon Valley rounds in March 2020 👇🏻
🧵: In Feb 2022, Jeremy Parker, 52, felt ill. Afraid he had covid, he stayed at a friends home & took the hydroxychloroquine he was prescribed by America’s Frontline Doctors for just such an infection. That’s where he died.
Read the article on @ThisIsReno: thisisreno.com/2023/02/vegas-…
2: Shoutout to folks who care about this like I do, who made these court documents accessible. As I said in the tiktok above, it was just a matter of time until we saw a case like this. I would put money on Mr. Parker not being the first nor the last in such a situation.
3: With this paperwork, we can see that that the estate suing America’s Frontline Doctors on Parker’s behalf is comprised of his wife & three kids, ages 17, 14, and 8. 😔 We can also see the HCQ was delivered thru Ravkoo Pharmacy, who’s filled more than $1.2 million worth of HCQ.
🧵1: Ok think I’m finally ready to update on the America’s Frontline Doctors schism. It’s been a few months since the lawsuit mishigas began (qt 🧵), so I’ll try to summarize my observations— ALL MY OPINION— including Simone Gold’s apparent firing from AFLDS at the end of Jan👇🏻 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2: The original Florida suit against Dr. Simone Gold was dismissed December 6, 2022 for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. But before that case had run its course, Gold had already filed suit again the Board (Gilbert, Mack, Matthesius) on November 23, 2022 in Arizona.
3: The AZ suit wasn’t all that different from the FL one, just from Simone’s perspective rather than Joey’s. Essentially, Gold claims her resignation never took effect, as the tenants of the agreement for her leave were not fulfilled, therefore she’s still AFLDS’ leader.
