Dr. Mary Talley Bowden resigned her hospital privileges instead of allowing Houston Methodist Hospital to continue to smear her reputation over vaccine mandates and ivermectin. Read the letter:

“I’m not worried about Methodist. It's not gonna hurt me in terms of patient care. I only needed it just in case I had to put a patient in the hospital. But I haven't had anybody in the hospital.”
-Dr. Mary Bowden @MdBreathe who has treated 2,000 people with COVID so far.

It’s clear Dr. Bowden is being used in a publicity stunt for attention by Methodist Hospital, which was the first in the nation to mandate vaccines for its employees.
“They're branding themselves. And it’s at my expense,” said @MdBreathe

When Houston Methodist Hospital temporarily suspended Dr. Bowden’s privileges, it did it by calling a reporter at the Houston Chronicle.
She only found out when the reporter called @MdBreathe for comment.
Then the hospital tweeted a thread blasting her.

“There's a growing tide of people fighting back on these vaccine mandates, so they are trying to suppress people like me from coming out," Dr. Bowden @MdBreathe "If you don't go with what everybody else is saying, you're going to get smeared and ridiculed.”

@MdBreathe In the one week since I wrote about Dr. Mary Talley Bowden taking only unvaccinated new patients, she has become a national lightning rod.
As I wrote ten days ago, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden warned her patients that Houston Methodist Hospital was “discussing denying care for unvaccinated people.”
The hospital denied the accusation and revoked Dr. Bowden’s privileges in retaliation.

Secretly, Methodist Hospital changed its policy on Monday to say unvaccinated people are not welcome there. 2/
A hospital policy of “only vaccinated visitors enter the hospital or physician offices” means the unvaccinated can’t go there for medical care. But Methodist claimed it will not deny care for unvaccinated. Read my story #EmilyPosts 3/ emilypostnews.com/p/houston-meth…
“I've seen somebody say Ivermectin is ‘potentially lethal,’ and that is straight out wrong. There is no way that Ivermectin is going to kill anybody.”
-Dr. Mary Tallen Bowden @MdBreathe
(Thread 1/5)
Dr. Bowden prescribed Ivermectin to Sheriff Deputy Jason Jones. His wife filed a suit against Texas Health Huguley Hospital. The hospital has a stay to stop @MdBreathe until a ruling on the lower court’s order to allow “right to try” for Jones.
If Jen Psaki hadn't tweeted to defend VP, I would've missed this fascinating CNN story about the White House not caring enough about Harris to defend her.
key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at VP Kamala Harris and her staff -- deciding there simply isn't time to deal with them right now, especially at a moment when Pres Joe Biden faces quickly multiplying legislative and political concerns. - CNN 2/
I luvvv how the real VP is exactly like @VeepHBO

It’s clear the Supreme Court conservative majority wants to make Second Amendment rights equal for all Americans.
Six justices asked questions in oral arguments that shot holes in the Ny conceal carry permitting scheme that infringes on the right to bear arms. #SCOTUS#2a 2/
But it’s not a clean shot to the gun #SCOTUS opinion next year.
It’s unknown if the court will rule in a way that affects all the other “may issue” states— CA, MD, NJ, MA, RI, CT, DE and HI - or determine where guns can be carried. #2A 3/
I predict that tomorrow you will hear at least five Supreme Court justices asking questions in court that tip the public to their support for gun carry rights and overturning the lower court ruling .
I don’t believe Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would have gone along with taking up the New York gun carry case if they didn’t believe they had the votes to finish the job started in Supreme Court ruling in Heller.
“A new baby was born today in a hospital, but I can’t go to the hospital because of Taliban checkpoints,” he emailed.
