Regarding “Sleazy Move” (Mailbox, March 13), the editor wrote, “On the subject of McCullough’s credentials, it should be noted that the American Board of Internal Medicine recently revoked his board certifications in cardiovascular disease and internal medicine after determining he was providing false or inaccurate medical information to the public.”
Let me add my thoughts about medical practitioners who aim to harm the public with information that they know is false and misleading. This individual had to know that the studies of millions of patients that supported the National Institutes of Health’s findings about the COVID-19 vaccinations showed that his suppositions about treatment were wrong. Yet, he offered no objective studies supporting his thesis to these eminent scientists. Instead, he publicized his wrong ideas to the public, knowing it would cause harm.
How did he know that? He was trained in Western medicine based on scientific evidence, which he accepted along with the honors and degrees that it provided. He also enlisted Sen. Johnson to lobby the medical authorities to restore his honorifics. Perhaps he was carrying out his political ideology, because, as we all know, political ideology trumps everything. Perhaps he was merely trying to pad his retirement account.
At least we know what a sleazy person he is now.
Public Service Announcement: Aside from keeping current with COVID-19 vaccination, everyone, and especially parents, should ensure they and their children are up-to-date on measles vaccination, ideally with the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine, to protect themselves and their communities from this highly contagious disease now reported to be in California.
