HOUSTON (AP) — A Houston hospital has temporarily suspended a doctor for spreading false information about COVID-19 to her patients and on social media.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, an ear, nose and throat specialist who runs a private practice in River Oaks, had been granted provisional privileges at Houston Methodist Hospital within the last year.

The hospital revoked Bowden’s hospital privileges on Friday citing “unprofessional behavior,” including vulgar language on social media, as the main reason for suspension, the Houston Chronicle reported.

On her Twitter account, Bowden repeatedly decried vaccine mandates and promoted the unproven benefits of ivermectin, the anti-parasitic drug that federal health officials advise against using to treat the virus.

In emails obtained by the Chronicle, Bowden was urging against vaccinations for children and telling her patients that data she has collected “suggests that the vaccine is not working.”

“Dr. Mary Bowden, who recently joined the medical staff at Houston Methodist Hospital, is using her social media accounts to express her personal and political opinions about the COVID-19 vaccine and treatments,” Houston Methodist said in a statement.

“These opinions, which are harmful to the community, do not reflect reliable medical evidence or the values of Houston Methodist, where we have treated more than 25,000 COVID-19 inpatients, and where all our employees and physicians are vaccinated to protect our patients.”

Bowden told the Chronicle all her comments are “backed by clinical experience.”

Medical board spokesman Jarrett Schneider said in regards to the possibility of future discipline for Bowden that “the board cannot issue prospective opinions on whether an individual has violated any board rules or laws.”

Censorship and banning of anyone who does not follow the plan. And do we wonder why the rest of the doctors are shutting up and following orders?
This is what happens to doctors who question “the science” or disagree with governments plan to vaccinate every human on the planet

People wake up. This era is starting to feel like a full blown recycling of the fake claim from seventy years ago ‘Stalin’s Plot Against the Doctors’ – except now it really is a plot, a communist, tyrannical and dangerous one, that might be instead called ‘BigPharma’s Plot…’. People don’t need to ever be forced or coerced to have a medical procedure to maintain a normal job. Shame.

This article is misinformation. The vaccine is not working. Its protection wears off after a few months. Ivermectin has been proven. Fact. It’s all about money. Vaccines are a money cow. Ivermectin makes no profits.

Interesting photo they put on this article. Puts a whole new spin on the doctor who got “fired”!

763,000 Covid deaths in USA so far. Without the safe vaccine, so touted and taken by even Mr. Trump himself, the death toll is estimated to potentially be 5,500,000 by Johns Hopkins Medical. 1,200 died last week, mostly in Fla.

The quack was telling her patients that “the data she collected…”
She is an ENT for crying out loud! There is no much more reason to think that she collected any data than to believe that our own lunatics Sarah and lastword are capable of collecting any data, other than how well their toilets are functioning.
