A Doctor Who Boasted That He And His Staff Don’t Wear Masks Has Had His Medical License Suspended Dr. Steven LaTulippe's remarks at a pro-Trump rally gained attention, but patients had previously complained about his medical guidance regarding COVID-19. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/articl...covid19-conspiracies-oregon-license-suspended Dr. Steven LaTulippe proclaimed to a crowd of President Trump supporters on Nov. 7 that "COVID-19 is no more" and that, throughout the coronavirus pandemic that has so far killed more than 275,000 people in the US this year, neither he nor the staff at his clinic ever wore a face mask when seeing patients. "I hate to tell you this. I might scare you, but I and my staff, none of us, once wore a mask in my clinic," LaTulippe told a cheering crowd protesting the presidential election results in Salem, Oregon, where attendees aired unfounded and baseless conspiracies of massive voter fraud. "I want to expose what I call 'corona-mania.'" On Thursday, the Oregon Medical Board suspended LaTulippe's license and ordered the family practice doctor to "stop practicing medicine until further order of the Board," calling his actions "a serious danger to the public health or safety." According to the order, not only have LaTulippe and his staff refused to wear masks at the South View Medical Arts clinic in Dallas, Oregon, but also, "urge persons who enter the clinic wearing masks to remove their masks." "[LaTulippe] regularly tells his patients that masks are ineffective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and should not be worn," the statement reads, despite ongoing evidence that face coverings reduces the risks of spreading a virus that has so far infected more than 14.4 million people in the US. Even before LaTulippe's comments at the Nov. 7 rally, where he claimed the deadly virus's "purpose was only to shut down the American people," the state medical board had already received complaints about medical advice the doctor was giving patients who feared they may had been infected with the novel coronavirus. One patient on reported they had contacted LaTulippe's advice in early July seeking guidance on when and if they should be tested for COVID-19. The patient was told asymptomatic people should not be tested, wearing a masks did not prevent spread of COVID-19, and told "not to self-isolate because being around other people would provide Patient A with immunity to COVID-19." When the patient contacted the clinic on July 23 questioning the advice, the order reads, they were terminated as a patient. When patients ask about COVID-19, LaTulippe "regularly" tells them it is "very dangerous" to wear a mask and "directs patients to a YouTube video providing false information about mask wearing," according to the medical board. LaTulippe did not immediately respond to multiple requests for comment from BuzzFeed News. His views about COVID-19 gained wider attention after the Nov. 7 rally, which were recorded by the Multnomah County Republicans. Touting his 20 years of practicing medicine, LaTulippe claimed at the protest that the virus had already mutated and was therefore "no more." "We've been utterly duped," he said in front of a crowd waving Trump and US flags and two women clutching crucifixes. "I want you to know that this is insanity and the purpose as only to shut down the American people. This is a threat to your freedom, a threat to our Constitution. I petition all of you, please take off the mask of shame. It is just a mask that is designed to control you and to shut you down." Multiple studies have backed up the effectiveness of face masks in curbing the spread of COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has urged people to wear a mask in public areas and anywhere where there are other people. The Oregon Health Authority and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also require healthcare workers, patients, and staff to wear masks in clinics. Despite these requirements, the medical board noted that an investigator who visited LaTulippe's clinic on Dec. 2 found no patients or staff wearing masks, and there were no COVID-19 screening procedures for patients before entering. There was an article posted in the clinic, however, with a portion highlighting the claim that 94% of people who experienced serious effects of COVID-19 had "co-morbidities." According to the order, LaTulippe can request a hearing to contest his suspension. It was not immediately clear whether he had done so. His clinic in Dallas was closed Saturday.
Wyoming health official says 'so-called pandemic' a communist plot Efforts to develop a vaccine is a plot by Russia and China to spread communism worldwide, said department readiness and countermeasures manager Igor Shepherd. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...ys-so-called-pandemic-communist-plot-n1250096 A Wyoming Department of Health official involved in the state's response to the coronavirus questioned the legitimacy of the pandemic and described a forthcoming vaccine as a biological weapon at a recent event. The “so-called pandemic” and efforts to develop a vaccine are plots by Russia and China to spread communism worldwide, department readiness and countermeasures manager Igor Shepherd said at the Nov. 10 event held by the group Keep Colorado Free and Open. Shepherd was introduced as and talked about being a Wyoming Department of Health employee in the hour-plus presentation in Loveland, Colorado. Shepherd's baseless and unsubstantiated claims undermined Wyoming's public health measures — and public exhortations — to limit the spread of the virus, as well as its plans to distribute Covid-19 vaccines in the months ahead. Even so, Wyoming officials including Gov. Mark Gordon, who at a recent news conference called people not taking the virus seriously “knuckleheads,” declined to comment. Department Director Mike Ceballos and State Health Officer Dr. Alexia Harrist did not answer questions Friday, including when they became aware of Shepherd’s talk and what if anything they have done in response. Phone and social media messages left for Shepherd on Friday weren’t returned. Shepherd has worked for the health department since 2013 and has been a part of the state’s team responding to Covid-19,

Long overdue for this COVIDIOT Medical license of Oregon doctor revoked for questioning COVID-19, face mask efficacy https://www.theblaze.com/news/oregon-doctor-license-revoked-covid An Oregon medical doctor who allegedly dismissed the coronavirus as the "common cold" and blasphemed face masks by questioning their efficacy has now had his medical license revoked. What are the details? On Dec. 3, the Oregon Medical Board issued an emergency suspension to revoke Dr. Steven LaTulippe's medical license. According to NBC News, the Oregon Medical Board took action after LaTulippe appeared at a "Stop the Steal" rally on Nov. 7 in Salem, Oregon, during which he dismissed the seriousness of COVID-19. "I want you to know that I never shut down during the entire COVID season, from the time it was declared till now," LaTulippe said at the rally. "I hate to tell you this — it might scare you — but I and my staff, none of us once wore a mask in my clinic. And how many problems did we have in our clinic from that? Zero. Absolutely none." "We have been utterly duped. And I want you to know that this is insanity and the purpose was only to shut down the American people," he continued. "Take off the mask of shame. It is a mask that is just to design to control and to shut you down." Meanwhile, LaTulippe also stands accused of telling patients that face masks do not prevent COVID-19 transmission. The Oregon Medical Board order against LaTulippe reads: [LaTulippe] regularly tells his patients that masks are ineffective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and should not be worn. [LaTulippe] further asserts that, because virus particles are so small, they will pass through the recommended N95 masks and most other face coverings people are choosing to wear. [LaTulippe] directs patients to a YouTube video providing false information about mask wearing. [LaTulippe] regularly advises, particularly for his elderly and pediatric patients, that it is "very dangerous" to wear masks because masks exacerbate COPD and asthma and cause or contribute to multiple serious health conditions, including but not limited to heart attacks, strokes, collapsed lungs, MRSA, pneumonia, and hypertension. [LaTulippe] asserts masks are likely to harm patients by increasing the body's carbon dioxide content through rebreathing of gas trapped behind a mask. However, according to NBC News, LaTulippe has required patients with COVID-19 or those exhibiting symptoms of the virus to wear face masks. "I'm very interested in sound medical practice, and I'm interested in good science," he said. "And when science and medicine become perverted with corrupt politics, then I'm up for a fight, and that's what made me go to that rally and say what I said." The suspension of LaTulippe's license will remain "in effect until otherwise ordered," according to the Oregon Medical Board.
