Dr. Sheri Tenpenny testified at a hearing in Ohio that the Covid vaccines are causing magnetism (metal objects stick to people's skin) and that there's a possible link between vaccines and cell phone towers.
All of it is nonsense of course. How much unscientific and medically unsupported information should doctors be allowed to spread? She was named as one of the top dozen disseminaters of disinformation and Facebook closed her account because of it.
Doctors may have their own opinions, as long as they are reasonably grounded in basis. Has this doctor crossed the line in violation of medical ethics and should lose her license?

Although I have not been vaccinated because I don't feel the need for it plus I am waiting for more history to see which vaccine has the best history if I do decide to get it at some point, THIS is one of the reasons why those of us who are hesitant have received such scorn from so many people who want everyone to get the vaccine now.
You just watch (I bet) -- this "Oh, you must believe that the vaccines have metal chips in them or have some connection to cell towers" will start appearing in many posts. And so that will be something else we who are hesitant for legitimate reasons will have to rebut.
So, yes, I think she should lose her license.

That would depend on the standards of discipline of the Ohio Medical Board. If there is nothing that specifically grants them the disciplinary authority to cancel her medical license then they cannot do so just for voicing unpopular beliefs. I don't know the standards, but it seems to me that this testimony is not directly linked to her provision of care to patients. There is due process involved with taking away someone's ability to practice his or her profession.
She is not a medical doctor. She is an OD, osteopathy, not a MD. Osteopathy is nonconventional medicine. And this woman isn't even treating patients. She is just writing books against vaccination. If you think someone should be punished, it should be those who called for her to testify.
I people believe if she is unreliable, things will take care of themselves in the marketplace.
Meanwhile, government is unreliable, and we keep voting in the same nincompoops.
What does the OP have against freedom?
Agree with this. Adults can make their own decisions.
