The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) informed McCullough of the action in a recent letter. The board stated that McCullough’s statements questioning COVID-19 vaccination for healthy people younger than the age of 50 and pointing out that Americans have died after getting a COVID-19 vaccine triggered a review, which led to a recommendation that McCullough’s board certifications be revoked. The ABIM’s Credentials and Certification Committee found that McCullough had “provided false or inaccurate medical information to the public,” the letter states. “By casting doubt on the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines with such seemingly authoritative statements, made in various official forums and widely reported in various media, your statements pose serious concerns for patient safety,” it reads. “Moreover, they are inimical to the ethics and professionalism standards for board certification.” McCullough was given until Nov. 18 to appeal. If he appeals, the matter will be considered by a panel designated by the ABIM’s Board of Directors and at least one hearing would be held. The panel could accept the recommendation, rescind it, or impose an alternative punishment. McCullough told The Epoch Times in an email that he’ll appeal. Allegations In a May notice of potential disciplinary measures, the board said it had learned that McCullough made “numerous widely reported and disseminated public statements about the purported dangers of, or lack of justification for, Covid-19 vaccines.” As an example, the board cites McCullough’s March 10, 2021, testimony before a Texas Senate panel in which he said that people who have recovered from COVID-19 have “complete and durable immunity” and that there was no rationale for vaccinating such a person. McCullough also said at the time that there was “no scientific rationale” for people who are healthy and younger than 50 to receive one of the vaccines. In a declaration in a court case, meanwhile, McCullough said that more than 18,000 COVID-19 vaccine deaths had been submitted to the U.S.-run Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System and that the number of reported deaths was far above that of all other vaccines combined. ABIM says the statements might violate the board’s policy on false or inaccurate medical information, which states that “providing false or inaccurate information to patients or the public is unprofessional and unethical” and could lead to sanctions. McCullough responded the following month, requesting the matter be dismissed and offering a point-by-point rebuttal. To back up his statements on COVID-19 vaccination, for instance, McCullough referenced data that shows people younger than 50 have a minuscule risk of death after contracting the illness, particularly if they don’t have serious underlying medical conditions. He also noted the availability of COVID-19 treatments, that the COVID-19 vaccine spike protein has been linked to problems such as blood clotting, and that the vaccines have provided poor protection against infection and no protection against transmission. McCullough also referenced research that found people who have natural immunity—a group excluded from the vaccines’ clinical trials—are at higher risk of side effects from the vaccines and have better protection than the vaccinated. He said that based on his medical opinion, drawing from his medical education, clinical experience, and review of scientific information, people who have recovered from COVID-19 “have robust and durable immunity against the severe outcomes of adjudicated COVID-19 hospitalization and death recognizing that the Omicron variant has broken through natural immunity.” He also said that there “is no medical necessity or clinical indication for vaccination of a COVID-19 recovered patient since they have already had the condition for which the vaccines are indicated to prevent” and that the scientific evidence doesn’t support vaccinating people younger than the age of 50. ABIM Response In the decision letter, ABIM said the statements on the alleged lack of benefit from COVID-19 vaccines against mortality for those younger than 50 were “not factual, scientifically grounded, or consensus driven.” The board based that finding on data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that list more than 71,000 Americans in that population dying from COVID-19 as of Oct. 6. The board referenced no studies or other data. The board stated that the statements about COVID-19 vaccine deaths also weren’t factual because the CDC says COVID-19 vaccine benefits outweigh the risks. According to the CDC, serious side effects from the vaccines include heart inflammation, blood clotting, and severe allergic shock. All three can cause death. “Nothing in your declaration submitted in response to the Notice, or in the materials submitted to ABIM on your behalf, compels a different conclusion,” ABIM wrote. The board’s only other citation was to the World Health Organization, which stated in March that billions of people around the world “have been safely vaccinated against COVID-19” and that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines “have been rigorously assessed for safety and clinical trials have shown that they provide a long-lasting immune response.” The latter statement is false; the protection against both infection and severe disease quickly drops, according to recent CDC data. Some studies have found negative effectiveness within months. The waning effectiveness prompted the CDC to change its definition of a vaccine. McCullough said he’s concerned that ABIM will “continue to cherry-pick data and claim they have ownership over the ‘truth’ when in reality we are simply discussing data from a rapidly evolving pandemic.” “ABIM should be only concerned with my clinical track record … which is perfect,” he said. “Board scores and clinical practice are of the highest quality.” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who invited McCullough to Capitol Hill to testify, said the doctor “has dedicated his life to saving others” and called for ABIM to reverse its decision. Read more here...

My beautiful profession is broken and consumed by a collective insanity. They are not listening to their patients who have been injured by or lost friends/family to the shot. They are ignoring their own contradictory data showing increased overall mortality, especially in the young, since last year. Journals are censoring any and all dissenting voices. They fail to notice the sudden deaths. If all is fair in the distant future, if there is a future, Dr. McCullough will be remembered as a hero.
Yes, and that's most unfortunate. A deliberate tragedy. FWIW, I've lost five friends to the shots, including my girlfriend who was a nurse, that died suddenly and shortly after her forced second shot. She died in her backyard tending her flowers on a Sunday afternoon in Sept of 2021. I know a couple that are good friends that are experiencing what I consider to be vax induced dementia. It's impossible to be around them anymore, because they are so combative. They don't seem to be aware of what is happening to them. They have both had Covi post-vax, Rainman had to be hospitalized briefly. My only experience with dementia was my mother that died in hospice in 2014, but she was 89 not 62. I think I had Covi in December of 2019 before anybody knew what was happening. I treated it with increased doses of C, D, zinc and NyQuil. It hung on for a couple of weeks and was pretty bad. Anyway, I'm glad that you checked in. I was wondering about you last week. I hope you are well. Thank you. I am getting old, but still well. I still have friends who are jabbed. Most are regretful because they submitted to peer pressure. I have an old, old friend who drinks all the koolaid and who spouts off about his virtue in doing the right thing for humanity by getting all the shots. He fervently believes in climate change and the evil of white privilege. I don't need to argue with him as he is obviously dying. Another acquaintance finally took the jab for his job and became a completely different person in a very bad way. I believe I had Omicron last December. I took ivermectin, NAC, vit D and C, Quercetin and loads of zinc. Having spent 40 years giving myself to medicine and my patients, I ended up understanding that medicine had become totally corrupted by the time I left. Maybe some of the young doctors will reclaim its soul. I still believe that something more powerful than any human force has full control of the thoughts and actions of all the elite over all the globe. We are being driven to extinction, but who are THEY?
Yes, insanity is the right word, Doc. Why are all honorable physicians -- especially pediatricians -- not roundly denouncing the sexual mutilation of children? Insanity and depravity.
As am I, although I'm 'restricted' from medical care in FW thanks to the machinations of the former Blackburn and Green lawyers. You know them. Ugh. I don't know what to say. Same with Rainman and his wife. They've both had Covi post-clot shots. Sorry, doubtful, at least in our lifetime. The pendulum will take a long time to swing back to sanity. Glad to see you're still kickin' Doc Oct! |
