This is a terrible way to think. No one should be given a pass when their claims are incorrect and misleading. And they certainly should not be promoted or encouraged.

As a physician, it’s very aggravating and disheartening to see this kind of garbage propagated in the community. All of the competent physicians are having to deal with oftentimes hostile patients who regurgitate these same ideas and refuse to listen to their own doctor’s advice.

Honestly, I think what this guy did should be eligible for board review. I don’t support censorship, but there’s a difference between censorship and maintaining some degree of professional validity and integrity.

I agree that a lot of what he said was factually accurate. Certainly not the ADE. And that’s a really big deal IMO. Regarding everything else, a lot was accurate but also not really relevant regarding the actual issue. Like I said, no one who is educated on the matter is suggesting the goal is eradication or preventing transmission. It was awesome when initial results looked like that may be remotely possible. But was never expected or the goal. I don’t keep up with the news or media too well, so if media has been pushing a different angle then they have also unfortunately been misguided. The goal is to keep as many people out of the hospital as possible because the healthcare system has been stretched way too thin by this thing. And all available evidence overwhelmingly shows that vaccination can help with this. He does not acknowledge that and actively states the opposite which is harmful to his patients and his colleagues.

I also finished med school (and a full residency). Hate to break it to you, but there are still incompetent docs that graduate. Luckily, the very bad ones are usually in the minority which is why it hard to find a large group of credible doctors that follow this guys logic.

Also, if he doesn’t wear a mask, his picture isn’t circulating around this site and others calling him a hypocrite? Sometimes you do things to set an example of even if unnecessary

Yes. I went through his training. A single year of internal medicine followed by a single year of ophthalmology. Did not complete ophthalmology and does not practice as ophthalmology. Now practicing as a GP although claiming to be family med despite no family med training. If he was ancient, I’d be more understanding as a single year followed by practicing as GP was way more common back in the day. Not for his era though.

What documentation? Did anyone validate all of his interpretations of whatever data he is presenting? Or just “trusting him because he knows best”?

I only reviewed the NEJM article he referenced regarding miscarriages. His interpretation in that instance was incorrect. Not sure this is a doctor I’d be trusting blindly just FYI.

Haven’t posted on this site in years. Still read a good bit but usually have way too many other things to do in my free time than post anything. Felt the need to jump in here though.

First, if we are talking credentials, what are this man’s? A quick search online shows that he completed a single internship year followed by maybe a single year of ophthalmology (which is a three year program after internship). So not sure if he dropped out or what. He did not even complete a family medicine residency as far as I can tell. I had also never heard of functional medicine, so I looked into the largest organization for the “specialty” that I could find, Institute for Functional Medicine. It seems that you can get certified in some aspect of this in as little as a few days. Even still, he does not seem to be listed in the organizations directory of practitioners. Not sure how he has any kind of authority or why anyone would blindly follow his advice?

Second, most with any education on the matter do not believe that eradication is possible, much less the goal. That was not the point of the vaccines. Vaccines were developed to decrease morbidity and mortality (which they are certainly doing). He brings up antibody-mediated enhancement, but there is no evidence to support that with these vaccines. The vaccinated have far better clinical outcomes than the unvaccinated.

oh well... probably should be studying anyway :lol:

I definitely agree that there is no need to melt down after 2 games, but that doesn't mean that critiques can't be made. If you're losing and not questioning why you're losing and how to improve, then you will probably keep losing. But I'm excited about this team and look forward to seeing AD dominate this season.

ill be in the rafters...fire monty..he a POS
