FLCCC Doctors Plan to Fight Board Decision
Dr. Pierre Kory says ABIM is telling doctors to take orders from bureaucrats in Washington and from medical journals instead of basing treatment decisions on their training and expertise.
After a year-long back-and-forth with the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik received notifications this week that their certifications will officially be revoked.
The charge? Spreading "false or inaccurate medical information."
The committee concluded that the published peer-reviewed, clinical, and observational data that create the foundation of FLCCC protocols, educational materials, and public statements are not so-called "consensus-driven scientific evidence.”
“What ABIM is doing is basically telling doctors that we need to take our orders from bureaucrats in Washington and certain medical journals instead of making treatment decisions based on our training and expertise,” said Dr. Kory. “Threatening doctors the way the ABIM is doing simply degrades the practice of medicine to be something that is done out of fear rather than to heal our patients in the best way we know how.”
No longer are doctors to be led by their deep knowledge, expertise, and years of treating patients, but by consensus. Interestingly, the "consensus" cited by the ABIM includes several studies that have been largely disproven or questioned for their glaring flaws, conflicts of interest, or poor design as well as a National Public Radio story that had to be corrected for false reporting (remember that little piece of propaganda that ivermectin overdoses were causing a surge in emergency room admittance?).
Clearly, this move by the ABIM is meant to not only silence our founding doctors, but healthcare providers around the world who believe in early treatment, putting patients first, and saving lives.
“The ABIM is doing this to us and other doctors who didn’t follow what the committee is calling ‘consensus’ as a way to scare others into silence,” said Dr. Marik. “Following the ABIM’s ‘consensus’ will only deprive patients of important treatments that have saved lives all over the world.”
While losing their certifications wouldn't impact the ability of Dr. Kory and Dr. Marik to practice medicine or conduct scientific research, it would send a chilling message across the world that censoring doctors is not only acceptable but a precedent moving forward.
True to their integrity and heart, our doctors do not intend to step down from this fight. In accordance with ABIM bylaws, they will appeal the decision, which will require countless hours of legal support, research, and preparation.
Dr Kory and Dr Marick.... SUPREME COURT .. here we go!!!!! Victory dance coming up 💃 🕺 They are trying to shut you down @ FLCCC in time for next looming pandemic!!! PRAYING ... Bless you for your continued fight.... Side note: maybe it’s time to start voting Republican Kory 🥴 TRUMP 2024
As a physician I left the ABFM (Family Medicine) years ago when it became clear that it was all a money grab with constant dues and fees for testing all while they had no documentation to prove that anything they subjected members to do to maintain a piece of credentialing to hang on the wall improved patient care or outcomes! I thought about his for a while and not one of my patients ever asked if I was board certified or took a look at my piece of paper on the wall even though every one of them walked by it daily!!
What matters to my patients? That I continue to learn to not only maintain, but actually improve, my knowledge and skills to help provide them the best medical knowledge to help them Live Their Best Lives, and MOST IMPORTANTLY - that I CARE! Do you sense that from your traditionally trained and board certified doc??
I decided to join a group of physicians who were tired of the money grab and formed an alternative credentialing board - the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS). They require re-certification on a regular basis with proof of required amounts of CME, or continuing education credits, to prove that we maintain our knowledge base to provide the best care we are able to for our patient's well being. What any conscientious doctor would do anyway! Makes perfect sense to me. The group is growing in membership and it's credentialing is accepted by more hospitals for certification on a yearly basis
So, Fighting the establishment ABMS is a good endeavor, as shutting them down would remove the strangle hold they have on all "member" physicians. This would remove the FEAR of utilizing our education and experience to help our patients rather than follow a prescribed cookbook recipe forced on us by the "board". But you must have a huge pot of funds to do so as they have lots of lawyers and lots of money extorted from physician members over the years! Give the members at the NBPAS a call and ask them to join the fight - many hands make light work!!
