Vaccine technology has dramatically shifted from the manipulation of a virus to foster immunity, to now what is called gene therapy. Much concern has been expressed about this new technology, does it change one’s genetic code, what are the long term effects given no long term studies have been done, and since a vaccinated individual […]
Even though the 5th district court of appeals has issued a stay on implementing the OSHA vaccine mandate rule (pending litigation outcomes issued by the 6th district court), I encourage citizens to submit a comment before the December 5, 2021 deadline. Here is the web link to access the rule description and comment form: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/11/05/2021-23643/covid-19-vaccination-and-testing-emergency-temporary-standard#open-comment […]
No Way. Never in Idaho. Never in the USA. I must have repeated those phrases 50 times over the past week as I have talked to physicians, PA’s., nurses and technicians from across the country and across our State. The occasion of their reaching out to me was my announcement that I was turning in […]
What kind of a society places the welfare of adults over the growth and development of its children? During my senior year of medical school, I was stationed at Bethesda Naval Hospital and I lived for 6months with a former college football teammate of mine who coached and taught at the St. Albans School for […]
On November 15, 2021 the Idaho House of Representatives will reconvene to discuss the federal government Covid-19 vaccine mandate which is now temporarily blocked by a federal appeals court. However, this mandate has now been extended to include health care workers who provide care to Medicaid and Medicare recipients that will add to the devastating […]
Idaho’s Legislature will resume the session on November 15th. My most sincere hope is for the Legislature to pass a bill to protect Idahoans from big corporations and “special-interest science.” Our elected leaders need to make vaccine-mandates illegal! We are inundated with hordes of subject matter experts who are so arrogant in their beliefs they […]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Civil Rights and Human Services Subcommittee Republican Leader Russ Fulcher (R-ID) delivered the following remarks, as prepared for delivery, at a joint subcommittee hearing on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) likely unlawful federal vaccine mandate: “There’s no way around it. President Biden’s vaccine mandate is bad for workers, it’s bad […]
My last duty station on active duty in the Navy was in Keflavik Iceland at the NATO Base Hospital. I held two jobs during those two years. I was a staff General Surgeon and head of the Department of Surgery, and I was The Director of Clinical Affairs. There was an inherent conflict of interest in […]
When news of COVID lockdown orders began to be reported back in early 2020, my immediate concern was not over the virus but the lawfulness of the orders. Yes, the virus matters and should be researched by doctors so they can advise their patients as to the best methods of prevention and/or treatment. However, without […]
There is a common thread that runs through the thinking of liberals when it comes to issues as disparate as sexual harassment and Covid vaccinations. Neither deductive nor inductive constructs in logic underpin their arguments. The ideas of “due process” and the “scientific method” require a discipline in thinking and subsequent actions based on those principles […]
Well folks has everyone received their covid vaccine yet? What! You said no to the vaccination? Keep in mind that our Governor used to be in the Sheep business and it appears that he is trying to get back into it by trying to herd all Idahoans to get vaccinated. Let us make our point […]
Hundreds of millions of federal dollars have flowed into our two major hospitals yet they were unprepared for this crisis and have had to institute a “Crisis Standards of Care Emergency”. We know that these hospitals were letting nurses go during the past year and that there was a shortage so to make matters worse […]
