“Just because it's physicians, it's no different than if someone called you claiming to be the IRS trying to steal your money. It’s a scam, and we protect Americans from scams.” @BrianCCastrucci @deBeaumontFndtn #disinformationdoctors

Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair! “Lives are at stake. State medical boards have the ability & the responsibility to counter the spread of misinformation by taking real action against the biggest offenders.” #DisinformationDoctors #medtwitter

State Medical Boards need to investigate doctors who are deliberately spreading covid disinformation. Loved ones have been exploited for financial compensation and social media fame by doctors they have trusted. Enough is enough.

State medical boards are supposed to protect the public from incompetent practitioners. Why are they allowing #disinformationdoctors like Ann Bukacek to worsen the medical #misinformation crisis? Time for action: https://t.co/Fqy9nBpKQB

I support this wholeheartedly. I also think nursing needs to do a whole lot more to clean its own house. Let's fight the spread of disinformation. #disinformationdoctors

@ConceptualJames Exploiting the tragedy of Jews who were humiliated, marked with a yellow star, isolated, starved, dehumanized, and murdered in ghettos during the Holocaust in a debate about vaccination that saves human lives during pandemic is shameful. It's a sad symptom of moral decay.

It is unfathomable to me that a state legislature would stop a medical board from disciplining doctors who spread misinformation, yet here we are.

Carlson, who will not say whether he's been vaccinated against COVID-19 but has not publicly denied it, described Kennedy on Monday as "one of the smartest and most articulate chroniclers of the erosion of our civil liberties in this country." - Via @BusinessInsider This RFK?⤵���
At one point during this interview, RFK Jr. says that the Polio vaccine is "flawed" and actually causes Polio (demonstrably false), and Carlson nods along before saying: "This is an exhaustively reported book that I can't recommend strongly enough." https://t.co/Hf8ywgoNcE
