Cancelling Covid Plandemic Doctor Critics, By Brian Simpson

Two US doctors who have been strong critics of the Covid vaxxes, and who advocated alternative treatments, including the promotion of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, have had their medical certifications revoked, by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).Drs. Pierre Kory and Paul Marik Kory and Marik, who are co-founders of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), which promotes alternative treatments for Covid, were investigated over a two-year period by ABIM. It was held that FLCCC had "spread misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic." This is standard operating procedure now.

Clearly this strategy is a powerful tool to keep doctors quiet. The threat of losing a job is always an intimidatory tactic.

"Two doctors who spoke out about vaccines and alternative treatments for COVID-19 received notice that their medical certifications were revoked, while another doctor said her certification was revoked without her knowledge.

The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) last week revoked the certifications of Drs. Pierre Kory and Paul Marik, following a two-year investigation into their promotion of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as treatments for COVID-19 and their statements questioning the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

According to The Washington Post, the two physicians continued "to promote ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication, as a treatment for COVID long after the medical community found it to be ineffective."

Kory and Marik are co-founders of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), which promotes alternative treatments for COVID-19.

Citing unnamed experts, the Post claimed the FLCCC "spread misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic."

MedPageToday quoted an ABIM spokesperson, who said the organization "does not comment publicly on the reasons for the revocation of certification."

However, in a summary of the ABIM's decision reviewed by The Defender, the organization stated that the doctors' "conduct poses serious concerns for patient safety and undermines the trust that the public and the medical profession place in the meaning of ABIM board certification."

In a press release, the FLCCC Alliance said it "categorically disagrees" with ABIM's decision.

"We believe this decision represents a dangerous shift away from the foundational principles of medical discourse and scientific debate that have historically been the bedrock of medical education associations," the press release states.

Marik told The Defender:

"The bottom line is we're disappointed because we stand up for the truth. To censor science is to censor progress. Science is based on dialogue and people can have different points of view. That is the principle of science: it's people having different points of view.

"We've never been in a situation before where physicians who have opposing points of view are silenced … It sets a really bad precedent that you can't really challenge the status quo, and as we know, in medicine, there have been very dramatic changes based on changing understandings of science."

In the FLCCC Alliance press release, Kory said, "This fight is about more than just our right to speak — it's about protecting the future of healthcare. When doctors are silenced for questioning the prevailing narrative, we all lose."

Kory and Marik participated in an ABIM hearing in May, but internist Dr. Meryl Nass, founder of Door to Freedom, told The Defender that ABIM revoked her certification without her knowledge.

Nass said she was blindsided by ABIM's decision to revoke her license, which she said she found out about only when she searched for herself in the organization's database of certified physicians.

Nass told The Defender:

"After the Maine Medical Board suspended my license illegally — even though none of my alleged transgressions met the statutory requirement for an immediate suspension — the board later found me guilty of things I had not done and continued the suspension … All of this with never a single patient complaint.

"Now I learn, by chance, that the ABIM has suspended me without ever informing me I was even under an investigation, which is illegal according to the ABIM's process."

Dr. Peter McCullough also faced similar difficulties with the ABIM over his positions on COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. According to MedPageToday, ABIM revoked his certifications in 2022 — although, as of today, ABIM lists him as certified.

McCullough told The Defender, "The ABIM is violating principles of equal protection, due process, rules of evidence and has gone ex post facto to find reasons to attack qualified ABIM-certified doctors who innovated and saved lives early in the pandemic."

Science based on 'different points of view'

Kory and Marik held ABIM certifications in internal and critical care medicine, while Kory was also certified in pulmonary disease, according to MedPageToday.

They were initially notified about the risk of losing their certification in May 2022. Last year, ABIM's Credentials and Certification Committee recommended the revocation of their certification for disseminating "false or inaccurate medical information." A hearing followed in May.

According to the FLCCC Alliance's press release, Kory and Marik "tirelessly defended their positions." However, despite "presenting over 170 references in a detailed 60-page response submitted in January 2023, the ABIM has chosen to dismiss these robust scientific contributions in favor of a narrow, 'consensus-driven' narrative."

According to the summary of ABIM's decision, Kory and Marik's "statements about the safety and efficacy of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine" as treatments for COVID-19 "are false and inaccurate because they are unsupported by factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus-driven medical information."

The ABIM also addressed the doctors' positions on the COVID-19 vaccines:

"[The doctors'] statements about the purported ineffectiveness and dangers of COVID-19 vaccines are false and inaccurate because they are unsupported by factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus-driven medical information. …

" There is extensive factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus-driven medical information demonstrating that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, and lead to better health outcomes."

Marik questioned the board's assertions regarding ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and the vaccines.

"What they do is, they cherry-pick articles which support their point of view and then they go on to say the vaccine is safe and effective. We know that's completely not true. There's overwhelming data to question both the safety and efficacy of the vaccine," Marik added.

McCullough said:

"ABIM never updated its members on important risks such as fatal vaccine adverse events, including myocarditis, nor failing theoretical efficacy necessitating boosters that skipped human testing altogether.

"Setting a new dark milestone, ABIM is decertifying highly qualified physicians for nonclinical reasons and ignoring the evidence for early therapeutics and COVID-19 vaccine safety."
