Apparently a Doctor in Oregon lost his license to practice. The State Medical Board felt that his approach to the coronavirus epidemic was wrong and yanked it.
“…he and his staff skipped masking and denoted the coronavirus pandemic — which has infected over 14.5 million Americans and killed more than 281,000 in the U.S. – as a ‘common cold.'”(1)
But on 12/4/2020, the WHO, CDC and others reported 9,007,298 confirmed cases and 229,293 deaths. That is a mighty big change for 2 days!(2)
“The board therefore found the doctor constitutes an immediate danger to the public, and presents a serious danger to the public health and safety.'”
At a time when there is a national need for heath care providers.(3)
Doesn’t that give you confidence in our government with regard to regulating the distribution of any vaccine or treatment that might come along?(4)
