Ok, lets try to unpack all of this...
"Yes, context. Someones personal beliefs outside of medicine doesn't matter as long as it stays outside of it. You bringing up her religious beliefs to slander her is a prime example of straying out of the context of medicine."
I didn't make her religious beliefs paramount to her credibility; she did. Her Twitter bio reads, and I quote, "Physician, Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur, Deliverance Minister, God's battle axe and weapon of war." And it doesn't take long scrolling down through her twitter feed to see some rather controversial statements regarding medicine, it's application, science, and the lot. So, it's clear she's not separating her life as a doctor and her life as a prosperity-gospel/entrepreneur/sayer of crazy things regarding demons, aliens, and Fauci urine tests, thus, the public shouldn't either when vetting her expertise.
"She says she's personally treated 350 Covid patients across all spectrums and all have recovered with HCQ tx. Is it misinformation if she's used HCQ in her practice and it's worked? What can you say to that except say that she's lying?"
I definitely find her statements curious, as they seem to stand in contrast to the vast majority of scientific/medical consensus...so...as I said, I'm curious. Anyone can say anything, after all...and they often do, especially in front of video cameras. So, without taking her word for it, I would like to see the data, her methods, etc. I do find it odd that her supposed employer (
http://www.rehobothmedicalcenter.com/), doesn't have a functional website. They do have a facebook page, however (
https://www.facebook.com/Rehoboth-Me...0321995001608/), though it doesn't leave me brimming with trust.
"Btw she wasn't the only doctor up there saying the same things yet it's the black one that didn't meet your standards. Why not run background checks on the others while you're at it?"
This would be fair, if not for the fact I was responding directly to another poster who was referencing her directly. So that's that.
"okay.....unless she's practicing this what purpose did you have bringing that up?"
Because she is presenting herself as an authority on medicine, and more specifically, the treatment of COVID. She's not just saying HCQ works; she's saying it's the ****ing CURE, so no need to wear a mask....which is outlandish, non scientific, and potentially damaging to public health, yet none of that is surprising when taken in with other statements of hers (e.g., demon semen, alien DNA, etc.). And btw, if she was just some rube on the street saying this stuff, it wouldn't that big a deal, but since she's now being amplified by the ruler of the free world and several of his minions, those words have power, and thus require scrutiny.
"I'm glad you asked because I won't have to look far. You slandered me on page 41 of the COVID thread when I mentioned working in healthcare and not being ignorant (concerning COVID) by responding, "Look...no one said emptying out bed pans wasn't a noble profession...thank you for your bravery**." You called that a joke but I'm not an idiot as it was a sly remark to attempt to discredit any opinion I had on the matter."
It absolutely was a joke. A callus one, perhaps? Sure, but still a joke. I see you've been a member of ED since 2014, so I might've wrongly assumed you understood people sometimes joke hard here, and usually people take what they dish (myself included). However, if you noticed on page 40, I ask you directly to clarify this statement:
"And the difference in public response between the coronavirus and the flu is the msm over sensationalizing it causing people to panic. Ridiculous we can't go to a store now without waiting hours in line only to find out all the toilet paper just sold out and most of the meat, bread, and bottled water are gone as well. This is crazy and it's all because of our media."
...in which you were still equating COVID to the damn flu...to which you never responded. So yeah, I zinged you with a joke. If you do, in fact, empty out bedpans, I sincerely apologize for degrading what you do (see?...another joke; laugh a little). Granted, this was back in March, but there were a few of y'all still clamoring to die on that hill. Thanks for directing my attention back to the 40 page mark of this thread; it's quite interesting to see how things have changed, while some things haven't. Fascinating.
Now, I asked you to provide an example of where I have "rooted-out/discredited/slandered". I will contend that joke, if taken seriously, could be considered callus, even hateful; if one is devoid of humor, I suppose. However, to be clear, in that moment, you were an anonymous message board poster equating the severity and contagion of COVID to the common flu, something that even in March was soundly discredited. Our credentials aren't posted under our avatars, after all. Also, I sure hope you can see the difference between me zinging you with a joke on a message board me directing criticism to a person who is being platformed by POTUS and a number of his surrogates. Apples to bowling balls.
