Tennessee doctors who spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation could lose their licenses

[Jilly_in_VA]

The Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners adopted a new policy that could result in disciplinary actions for physicians who spread misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, according to reports.

The 12-member board signed off on the policy on Sept. 21. It would keep physicians accountable for violating practice standards by suspending or revoking their licenses.

The official said they decided to sign the policy because "spreading inaccurate COVID-19 vaccine information contradicts" doctors' responsibilities. They also said it threatens to erode public trust in the medical profession, putting all patients at risk.

3. Rep. Scott DesJarlais gets away with Trump-level perfidy

"Despite his public opposition to legal abortion, DesJarlais encouraged his ex-wife to terminate two pregnancies and encouraged a former patient with whom he was having an affair to get an abortion."

And he gets elected over and over in his Bible belt community because pretending to be anti-abortion is all they need.

6. I guess my takeaway was different.

They're actually OK with abortion, as long as the man chooses.

8. Believe you are correct, it's OK if the man chooses but not the woman.

Women, after all, are just property to them.
