I'm guessing political messaging won't play any better in clinical settings any better that it did in the courts.

So what they are saying is that any Dr. who doesn't go along with the program could lose their license.

Ridiculous!

Comply or suffer. What a crock of shit.

Does this basically say they can be fired for their "opinion" of the vaccine ?

Lawsuit F'ing City.

Damn! Glad to see a professional association take a stance - on anything. Hope they will proceed as they state here.

Would be nice to see the Mississippi Bar Association take a similar stance regarding their 'professional' members. But, I'm not holding my breath

Tell us O mighty "Board of Medical Licensure" which Physicians should we believe ?

Was "inaccurate Covid-19 vaccine information" defined....or was it more of a "if you say anything that goes against our religion, we will punish you?"

Personally, I think my doctor is brilliant, and I trust what he says about MY situation. Therefore, I want him to tell me what HE thinks and not only repeat what he's been told to say. Isn't that the doctor / patient relationship? Does science, as a whole, learn best practices over time if only one treatment process is considered?

Unfortunately, the answer to that today is more likely to be "it depends on your politics."

This is the Reich thing to do. Blinded by the $cience.

I this the same discipline that they imposed on doctors who that proscribed opioids? No penalty or little short suspension. What a bold response to the pandemic. They should be idealized for their prompt response and protection of the public.

Silly doctors having their own thoughts.

Tyranny is contagious ! Us Rednecks got a vaccine for that !

I hope they will at least provide the MDs with a definition of “inaccurate” information so they will at least know the proper script they should read from. I’m beginning to understand how the people of Germany felt in the late 1930s more and more every day.

Yeah this ought to attract new docs to want to practice in the "Sip". What a near sighted, dumb assed move.

Two words “consensus driven”

For once I agree with then board. Simply put, once you appear on public media to speak of any
ingredients, whatever the label, and you identify yourself as a medical professional, you must speak to the efficacy and safety of the product as
outlined in the accepted scientific literature.

If you wear a white labcoat without identification, if you say you are a neuroscientest without identification, if you offer any other outreach without specific identification then your opinion is shit. If you do so identify then you must follow the rules. Otherwise you are subject to regulatory interference.

Simple.

I personally know of two physicians who had the Covid and treated it with HCQ and a Z pack. I guess they will have to surrender their licenses because they did not die. You know the lawyers are lining up for this one - and for once, I am on their side.

BULL!!!! How about the misinformation we got from the CDC and Fauci about the virus itself, masks, the origin of the virus, the effectiveness of the vaccines, etc. Those guys are allowed to be wrong with no consequences because they ARE in charge, not because they are right. Anybody who opposes them are to be punished not because they are wrong but because they are NOT in charge.

What country is this?

Seems like a good idea. If you believe the vaccine comes from alien semen, you shouldn’t be allowed to treat people.

3:50, great question. It appears only government employed or supported are valid.

So if a doc says cloth masks are trash, is that grounded in science or not? Asking for a friend.

So what is misinformation? With information changing weekly, who writes the rules. ie booster shots. Just curious when big brother gets to big.

Science is never “settled”. Never has been and never will be. Except in Soviet- like republics, which we are becoming more like by the day. I bet this policy, if enforcement is attempted, gets tossed in First Amendment grounds at first hearing.

Clearly, not a single reply as of 7:53PM has the slightest knowledge of medical practice. This doesn't mean that a doctor cannot prescribe _human_ Ivermectin to a patient. It means that a doctor could and should lose his or her license if they told people to run down to the feed store, grab some Ivomec, and have an Ivomec-and-tonic. It doesn't mean that a doctor cannot tell _their_ patient, within reason, that the vaccine might not be safe for that patient for some medically-reasonable reason. It does mean a doctor could and should lose their license for telling "the public" that vaccines are a plot by Bill Gates to implant microchips in everyone's brain so no one should get vaccinated. Not really anything new - a doctor could and should lose their license if they told someone with smallpox or AIDS that they were not contagious, their condition was no big deal or danger for them or others, and that person should just do whatever they want.

5:59. Ever thought about not swallowing?

If physicians don't parrot the CDC dogma they head directly to a Xiden/Fauci re-education kamp, komrade.

Since when was Joe Biden put in charge of the Mississippi State Medical Association and the Health Department?

Thank you 8:28 - proves that every once in a while a voice of reason and common sense can come through amongst all the idiotic comments on JJ. Comments with no basis other than their PhD earned from reading social media sites the previous few hours and donning their tin foil hats to receive the latest conspiracy theories and/or their responses to any reasonable release made by anybody in the 'gubment' media.

Sounds like 8:28 has the dogma down pat. If you look like Jack Elam, stand on the back of a Conestoga wagon, touting the properties of your dollar-a-bottle recipe, your ass will be run out of town. But, Doc Adams will sell it as soon as you leave.

Otherwise, there is no way in hell a medical doctor can be sanctioned for his medical opinion. One of the girls over at Y'all Politics must have written this policy.

Imagine, if you will, a university issuing the following policy statement:

For employees of the Sociology, Guidance and Psychology Departments:

. Any employee who departs from the school's formal policy on societal theory, psychological foundation or best-practice career exploration will be subject to termination at the discretion of the Chairman.

. The school's formal policy can be found in each course prospectus and workbook/textbooks issued throughout the Department.

. This policy is effective September 11, 2021, is not debatable, is not subject to employee grievance and stands as the foundation of this university for the departments identified.

Maybe whichever state Fauci holds his license in will do the same.

Who gets to determine what is "misinformation or disinformation"? What a doctor tells a patient today may sound like misinformation to the board but may be proven true next month. This is just a bunch of authoritarian muscle flexing , meant to keep the lessers in line.

So Dobbs is going to lose his license for not "believing" in natural immunity, which the NIH and several respected studies prove is better than any vax?

8:28- Well-intentioned but naive. Those who can see the writing on the wall are labeled conspiracy theorists until they are proven right. I really don’t know how much more proof you need at this point.

I read the policy in question. It is extremely vague and should not pass muster by the courts. It says a doctor cannot give inaccurate COVID vaccine information but does not state what that is. Is it telling a patient who has had COVID and has antibodies that they don’t need the vaccine? Is it telling a pregnant woman that they vaccine appears to cause miscarriages in some cases, so she should make the best decision for her and her unborn child? Is it tailoring a medical plan with the particular patient in mind that may not line up perfectly with the CDC? We don’t know because the language is intentionally vague, which means it will be whatever the Board feels like it is. That is not how regulatory agencies should be run. The Board attorney who drafted this vague piece of garbage should be fired, and the board members who voted for this should be asked for their resignation.

Imagine if you will an insurance commission or FINRA issuing the following statement:

"To all licensed agents and brokers - you are hereby warned that you will lose your license if you market or attempt to sell the 'Timberland Universal Life Policy' from the Adams Insurance and Investment Company, which promises people that for a 'low, low premium of only $100,000 a year, you'll have $100,000 of life insurance and a 15% return annually on the policy premium.' It is a Ponzi scheme."

and the only people bitching about it are plumbers, hairdressers, housewives, etc. Meanwhile, 99.9999% of agents and brokers are saying, "uh, yeah, we all already knew that but thanks for warning the .0001% of us who are idiots (or crooks), along with the public who doesn't know anything about any of this..."

This "new policy" isn't "new" nor is it a surprise or concern to doctors. It serves more to alert the public that anyone claiming to be a doctor and spouting bullshit almost certainly isn't a doctor, rather than alerting (actual) doctors of what they already knew and weren't going to do anyway.

Leave COVID misinformation to the professionals- bloggers, radio talkshow hosts, and podcasters. They are dying to do it.

8:28 You are indeed amazing and I must agree that many other bloggers on this site lack your huge interpretive ability. How you are able to understand the narrow meaning behind such a broad phrase like "Spreading inaccurate Covid-19 information..." is awesome. Please contact Dr. Dobbs or even Fauci himself so he might consider employing you as an interpreter.

Hospitals are the new ovens. Perverse financial incentives kill daily.

I thought all doctors had to comply with the standard of medical care for similarly situated doctors in the area for the medical condition at issue. It's a nationwide standard of care today thanks to the internet. Deviations from the standard of care have always been perilous. Think of doctors fraudulently promoting fake cancer cures and other fake remedies, surgeries, pills and therapies. Fortunately, those doctors are rare but they are out there and prey on the ignorant and desperate. This reiteration of a policy long in place, via common law liability if nothing else, is a good thing.

As I read it, the statement does nothing more than remind everyone of the duties Mississippi physicians already have. I believe it addresses things like "Miracle Mineral Solution" in lieu of vaccination, rather than medical issues on which reasonable minds may differ:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdfl/pr/florida-family-indicted-selling-toxic-bleach-fake-miracle-cure-covid-19-and-other

That family of crooks made a boatload of money before they fled Florida and the U.S. Now their BS product, which they continue to push in other countries, is killing people in South America. I seem to recall a prominent national politician alluding to MMS last year, so I think it's a good thing to remind doctors there will be professional consequences for endorsing such products.

Maybe I'm wrong and the Board is actually targeting docs prescribing Ivermictin, but I doubt it.

so..we aren’t being drafted to fight in a war..unlike many who went to vietnam. the US government has asked for the ultimate sacrifice by sometimes unwilling people.

what’s next-repeal all vaccine mandates? polio, MMR? how is this any different? gotta get those too..

all the board is saying is “don’t spread covid misinformation”.
1-it’s real
2-vaccines work- you should get one
3-masks and social distance also help mitigate the spread

12:37 - How hollow-headed of you. Imagine no posted speed limit but signs everywhere that say "Warning! Do not speed!"

Doctors would do well to send pro-tyranny, commie-symp, pro-Stazi informers to a vet for treatment.

Fauci is the Mengele of our time.

Half or more of the slavish raving pro-athoritarian state subversive Anti-Fa types hammering and sickling their stench daily through this forum resemble JFP activists.

The amazing thing about this is the BOML has an excellent attorney. I can’t believe he would have been involved in this or given them this advice. Sounds like the Board is yet again outkicking it’s coverage.

The funny thing is that all the people outraged at this policy would never listen to a doctor anyway. They "do their own research" and get their news from Facebook.

It's about damn time!

EVERY profession needs to be more aggressive in policing their ethical requirements!

"The amazing thing about this is the BOML has an excellent attorney. I can’t believe he would have been involved in this or given them this advice. Sounds like the Board is yet again outkicking it’s coverage."

This did not originate with the MS BOML or its attorney and it wasn't and isn't "advice" to anyone. What part of this can't those of you who aren't doctors understand: THIS GENERAL CONCEPT IS SOP (pardon the pun) FOR DOCTORS and it has been for a very long time. While the language of this small portion of a section are COVID-19 related, it is merely excerpted from a longer policy manual, most of which isn't. In any case, the particulars of this exact language weren't drafted by the Mississippi State Board, it was done nationally. The folks who drafted and approved it:

https://www.fsmb.org/about-fsmb/fsmb-leadership/

Note that all but one of them is AT LEAST a doctor or lawyer. For those of you who are lawyers, it is somewhat akin to a state bar agreeing with an ABA model guideline, "paying your country club bill from your trust account could cost you your bar card." Or really, it akin to the state bar making a public announcement of an ABA-drafted guideline which restates that lawyers have certain ethical duties to their clients - it is more for the public than for lawyers who already know it.

4:38 - it sounds like to me you are saying the BOML just issued this statement but since it was drafted by someone else, the BOML shouldn’t be questioned about it or criticized for it? How does that make sense?

I'm saying either learn to read or give up law. If you don't like that answer, I don't know what to tell you.

Rankin Lawyer: I suggest you review the comment at 11:12 a.m., which appears to have been written by an actual lawyer.

Fauci research with patent numbers, dates, names, etc. How many lies will people believe? Research. doctors across the world are standing up to this franken shot.

11:02:

The author of the rubbish cited in your post - David Martin (the source material for your uninformed post) is a conspiracy theory nutter.

Nazis!

1:59 .....David Martin has actual documents from DC patten office. Brainwashed much ?

I've read the memo put out by the MBML, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with their stand.
It doesn't address "opinions" by doctors, it talks about spreading misinformation via public and social media outlets. Specifically it targets "disinformation".
The memo directly references the AMA and FSMB (federation of state medical boards). Both highly credible medical organizations. Establishing a standard of care is what they do. Our state quoting them should be applauded.
This stand is nothing new. It's been longstanding policy for the last several years. Only now applied to address this COVID mess.
And next year it'll be applicable to that crisis, whatever that may be.
Let's all settle down a little.

You ever notice how on the main stream media the message is the same?
Have you noticed the hospitals, state health departments have a similar message?

https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcitizenfreepress.com%2Fbreaking%2Fcaught-on-video-we-need-to-be-more-scary-to-the-public-we-need-to-inflate-the-real-covid-numbers%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cd1ad0ac39dff4619c02608d9770d2fde%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637671720783908876%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=%2BZwFAu1YxzNgYEKIhXycI1nT%2BaX0A0kVW61Z2QL7E5o%3D&reserved=0

Now our State Medical Board has a similar message...

Kind of makes me want to see the other side of the great Oz curtain....

To my critics who have chosen not to respond with substance but instead to give childish taunts, I would be more than happy to put my name on here. Will you?

Many of you are reading far too much into the medical association's position. It's not foreclosing on the opinions of physicians licensed in the State of Mississippi. It's merely saying that those opinions must be accurate and based on the prevailing science.

9:00
“Prevailing” science… hmm
Who gets to decide what is “prevailing”?

Yeahhhh, riggght...it's about the 'health' of the people....

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/09/15/covid-politics-takes-a-dark-turn-biden-administration-takes-control-of-monoclonal-antibody-drugs-in-order-to-block-treatments-in-red-states-and-ration-equitable-treatment/

So now the requirement is a doctor’s opinion must be accurate?

You Covid deniers: if you don’t believe in scientific truth, then just avoid doctors and hospitals when you get Covid. After all, if you avoided the vaccine, why should you get access to the scarce resources of the science based emergency room, the hospital or the ICU?

1:20
Yep, we must do all we can do to prevent, protect and stop the spread of covid.
No shot? No job, eating, traveling, we…wait, What was that? Post office,Congress , NBA players not required…? What? How many?
Well…never mind..
1:20, tell us again how it’s about the “science”? I love that fairytale!!
