JAMA study identifies 52 physicians who spread #COVID misinformation on social media during 2021 -2022. The most common theme was discouraging vaccination, but there was also plenty of IVM/HCQ quackery and anti-mask BS.

The 1st Amendment may protect their freedom to spread lies, but nothing in the Constitution guarantees anyone the privilege to hold a medical license.

State medical boards need to hold them accountable.

(sarcasm, I'm sure there's one or two....)
