Predatory Medical Boards Harm Us All
Medical boards around the US are now attacking doctors who challenged the orthodoxy on all things COVID and saved many lives. Shall we shine the light of the law on these boards’ actions?
Predatory medical boards are harassing and de-licensing doctors who challenge orthodoxy, and who dare to have critical thinking skills and who dare to put patient interests above obedience to the groupthink narrative.
I am not an attorney, so nothing I say should be taken as legal advice; I am just a layperson with respect to the law. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t read the US and state Constitutions, federal and state statutes, and ask some questions.
The unfolding attacks on doctors who criticize the official COVID narrative are accelerating, and medical boards are harassing, silencing and de-licensing such doctors, at least for as long as they believe they can get away with doing so.
Paul Thomas MD is an Oregon pediatrician. He published results showing the vaccinated versus unvaccinated health outcomes of the children in his practice. Five days later, the lowlife on his medical board seized his license. Pardon the technical term lowlife. An “emergency suspension,” they said. So Dr. Thomas is now suing the individual members of that board for $35 million. Some of the characters mentioned here were behind that attack.
Meryl Nass MD saw her medical license suspended in January of this year. That has given her more time to educate the public about her successful experiences with early treatments for COVID. In this very enlightening 13-minute radio interview, Dr. Nass details how Maine medical board members’ attempts to attack her on COVID topics fizzled, and when they could not succeed there, they resorted to the hackneyed game of endlessly criticizing the style and content of her chart notes, an old trick played by dental and medical boards against the most independent-minded among healthcare professionals, in efforts to excuse their attacks on the licenses of those who dare to put patients’ best interests ahead of authority worship.

Now consider Peter McCullough MD, the most widely published cardiologist in human history. He also is one of the most famous advocates for effective early treatments for COVID, such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and is a critic of the COVID vaccines. I had the honor of meeting him at a conference where we both spoke, where I learned that he is also very kind and modest, despite the unblemished and outstanding achievements over his long medical career. Dr. McCullough has testified before congressional committees on early treatments for COVID. He is also a certified internal medicine doctor and epidemiologist.
Now Dr. McCullough is being robbed of his medical credentials.
After I wrote the most thoroughly researched book that I had seen on how the early COVID treatments work, The Defeat Of COVID, and the most thoroughly researched book on the hazards of the COVID vaccines, and I write medical exemptions from vaccines for all who ask, and I testify against such tools of medical tyranny as masks and vaccines in court cases as medical expert witness, I ended up on the fast-tracked hit list too, and wrote about that still unresolved Kafkaesque limbo here.
Must this abuse continue? What if medical board members broke laws?
And what if state attorneys general would be interested in this? Can those board members be opposed in courts of law? Let’s look at what federal laws may have been trampled in the boards’ witch hunts against those who blaspheme against this whole 2-year long Inquisition.
Attorney Jeff Childers, Esq. writes his Coffee & COVID blog each morning, an entertaining commentary on current events from a lawyer’s perspective. I love it to start the day, and coffee would not be complete without it.
Recently, Childers wrote about how to present information to law enforcement about crimes that are committed. It won’t do to whine about how abused one feels. But if you can identify specific statutes violated, and you can provide concrete details of how, when and where the violations occurred, then you save the police or lawyers in your state’s AG Office the trouble of overturning every rock in the desert to find the evidence necessary to convict.
This should not be hard; the Constitution and laws were written by our Founders against a background of rigid political and religious orthodoxy pervading the European homelands of their ancestry. And even against the horrific brutality of the Salem witch trials of the previous century in America. The genius of the Founders in their careful separation of powers, checks and balances on and within Congress, and among the states, created a system that was hard to convert into a tyranny.
The Bill of Rights strictly prohibits the activities of tyrants such as medical board members who attempt to enforce slavish obeisance to imposed dogma, and to excommunicate the blasphemers.
But such abstractions, Childers implies, will not garner the attention of law enforcement nearly so much as specific statutes violated, and organized as follows. Childers writes:
“To have the best chance of convincing law enforcement to commence a criminal prosecution, I usually suggest that, when clients submit their police report, they also pre-package the evidence into a well-organized, indexed binder, with a cover letter identifying exactly which criminal statute applies, and describing exactly how each bit of included evidence proves one or more of the required elements of the statute. The binder shows law enforcement that all the most difficult work has already been done, making their job a LOT easier, and hopefully convincing them it is a good case.”
Now what might be some of the laws that the medical board inquisitors violated?
If audiotapes are available of board meetings, you may want to consider making copies of those MP3 files as soon as the audiotape is available, before board members have recognized all of their confessed violations of laws. I have evidence of enough spoliation of those audiotapes to make copies early and subsequently as needed.
Specific timestamps may make it faster for investigators to locate the evidence that you have. Did your medical board members do any of the following? Here are some eye-opening federal laws:
Have board members spoliated their audiotapes, minutes or other records?
18 USC 1512 Tampering with a witness, victim or informant
(c) Whoever corruptly –
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding;
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years or both.
Have board members made up lies against the doctors they are attacking?
18 USC 1001 Statements or entries generally
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement
Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years . . .”
18 USC 1038 False information and hoaxes
(a) (1) In General – Whoever engages in any conduct with intent to convey false or misleading information under circumstances where such information may reasonably be believed and where such information indicates that an activity has taken, is taking, or will take place . . . shall
(A) be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
Have board members and personnel retaliated against doctors for reporting them to law enforcement?
18 USC 1513 Retaliating against a witness, victim or an informant
(e) Whoever knowingly, with the intent to retaliate, takes any action harmful to any person, including interference with the lawful employment or livelihood of any person, for providing to a law enforcement office any truthful information relating to the commission or possible commission of any Federal offense, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

These are a few of the fifteen federal (as well as state) laws for which I gathered evidence of violation by board members and personnel in attempts to injure my medical license.
What have we laypeople learned about criminal law since childhood? If you see something, say something. We healthcare workers don’t need to have Stockholm Syndrome, no need to coddle, protect or hide those who commit crimes in efforts to injure us.
The public’s scrutiny in such matters is also essential. Is your local medical board abusing doctors for writing vaccine medical exemptions? For writing ivermectin Rxs? For speaking with you honestly about non-toxic alternatives to medical orthodoxy? Medical board meetings are often open to the public, and should include options for phone or zoom-type participation.
If you want to be able to have medical freedom in the future, now is when we healthcare workers need your vocal support. If such freedom is not valuable to you, and no public outcry is made, the day will come when the independent-minded doctors will have been picked off in silence one by one, or will have fought our own silent battles through the courts, win or lose. Then, when all medicine is homogenized to Stepford Wives bland uniformity, good luck with robo-doc, and the scrips, imaging orders, blood labs and clinical procedures that he / she has to offer or insists on. Those may not be to your liking.
You want the state admin law regs and the state criminal codes because your first steps are going to be in the state courts and with the state constitution (and of course our national Constitution. Some state constitutions have greater protections than the federal one. Also look at your state civil rights and ADA laws). I'm a retired due to chronic WNV and ME but I have been my county's prosecutor, have worked criminal defense and all kinds of agency hearings (medical boards, too), civil, bankruptcy and other.
I believe that the terrorizing tactics of licensing boards will backfire and create even more rallying support for the unfairly intimidated doctors like Dr. Marik, Dr. Ness, Dr. McCullough, Dr. Ryan Cole and..(who else?) Dr. McCullough is a healthcare hero who deserves a landslide of majority support that will override the tiny minority of persons sitting on licensing boards who are futilely trying to make an example out of excellent doctors. Keep supporting and keep sharing this story, and the public will see right through their attempts to silence and censor board-certified doctors who counter the orthodoxy. For the sake of self preservation, the public needs to understand that a medical system based on Official Cures Only is not healthcare, it is deathcare.
