Dr. McCullough should form his own medical board with Dr. Malone, Kory and others.

What is crazy about this is that prior to this happening, I had no idea specialty boards could arbitrarily revoke your board certification… I knew medical boards could but I did not know specialty boards were able to. I believe the ultimate reason for this tactic is because political pressure can be leveraged against a medical Board (as they are public institution) but since any specialty board is a private organization that is not accountable to anyone, they can technically do whatever they want.

Hence it makes sense that this would be the chosen approach to silence the critics of the Covid campaign where there is no actual legal basis to go after them.

The bright side all of this is the board certification only really matters for getting certain jobs (and I doubt those facilities would want to hire a controversial figure), being invited to speak at certain venues or be on committees or publish research (once again this is not important because those groups would not want to appointment controversial figure) having a lower malpractice rate, and being eligible for certain insurance reimbursements. Many physicians I know in private practice let their board certifications go because they found they had no value to them and it was not worth the cost or hassle to maintain them.

What is going to be really important going forward is to make sure that we do not equivocate having a specialty board certification revoked with losing one's medical license. Each is very different, but I am almost certain the media will try to treat them as being equivalent (and this may be one of the ultimate goals of why they're going after the board certification). It's really weird when you watch what the government does, because you will consistently see them try to do something unjust which is basically illegal, and tinker around until they can find a way they can get away with doing it. All of this is one such example.

I also suspect part of the reason all the doctors are now being targeted by the specialty board is because they are starting to publicly discuss methods of treating vaccine injuries, and there is a vested interest in preventing that knowledge from becoming public.
