Reply to comment by [deleted] in Maine doctor's license suspended over COVID-19 claims by HubrisAndScandals
Her license was suspended for spreading false medical information, not advocating against mandates.

She advocated against vaccines on her blog, and is still being investigated to see if she advised patients against vaccination, her license is being suspended while that investigation continues. She claimed she has never advocated for or against vaccines to her patients, but belongs to an anti vaxx group and has admitted to lying to try to get at least one patient treatments that aren't vaccines and don't work.
> She is affiliated with a prominent national anti-vaccination group and often suggests COVID vaccines are not only ineffective but harmful. She called the U.S. CDC a quote “criminal agency” and has accused federal health officials of conspiring to suppress the use of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to treat COVID in order to push newer, more expensive treatments.

There is no way her opinions didn’t bleed into her professional life if she makes wild claims like that online.

And if she's willing to lie to pharmacists and risk her license to get people bullshit drugs that don't work and aren't for Covid to avoid a vaccine that does work.

Yeah, but that's not how these people are ever going to spin that shit.
Imagine if you applied this sort of crap to other medical issues, like somebody claiming that you shouldn't get treatment for cancer because of made up claims about side effects, or you shouldn't get a broken bone set because it'll fill your bones with witch poison and make your children lose their hair in 20 years. It would be overtly insane. A lot of the people who are against covid vaccines would also find that overtly insane, but for some reason, when it comes to covid, it's all fair game for them. People can make up whatever nonsense they want about covid vaccines and they'll just buy in to it for some reason.
