Dr. Peter McCullough is a cardiologist. From the Wikipedia bio:
During the COVID-19
pandemic, McCullough advocated for early treatment including hydroxychloroquine, criticized
the response of the National Institutes of Health and
the Food and Drug Administration, dissented
from public health recommendations, and contributed to COVID-19 misinformation.
Misinformation? No, a dissenting view that went against government protocols that the medical community has been forced to follow. (Memo to self: don’t trust Wikipedia entries.)
Steve Kirsch reports at Substack:
The American Board of Internal
Medicine is seeking to take away the board certification of Dr. Peter
McCullough for spreading misinformation.
According to the ABIM , there is no
need for a public forum between experts to determine what constitutes
misinformation. That determination is made by the ABIM and its hand-selected doctors.
ABIM
contacted Dr. Peter McCullough in a letter dated May 26, 2022 notifying him he
is accused of spreading misinformation and started an investigation to
remove his board certification.
. . .
ABIM refused [Sen. Ron] Johnson’s offer. Dr.
Baron sent Senator Johnson a “thanks but no thanks”
reply saying they are perfectly capable of disciplining Dr. McCullough,
without any outside assistance. Dr. Baron said that the discipline procedure is
private (even though McCullough waives all privacy), ABIM doesn’t want anyone
to know. ABIM and its appointed panel of doctors will make all decisions on
de-certification. They do not need to hear from scientists with opposing views
on what constitutes misinformation, nor do they want to.
In other words, ABIM will make
scientific assessments in private, behind closed doors, using a panel they
appoint. They will not be held accountable to any public scrutiny. So there!
Full report is here.
