Why hasn't R Paul been turned into his state's medical board for his license to practice be revoked?

[duforsure]

Advising people against using a mask, or not getting vaccinated. Or the virus isn't real during a deadly pandemic. He shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine again .

1. Is he a real DR?

I always thought he was a chiropractor.

[SergeStorms]

3. Some sort of ophthalmologist...

or optometrist, something like that. It's something about the eyes, anyway. I actually think his license has lapsed.

When he argues with Dr. Fauci it's a pretty lopsided argument. Dr. Fauci must feel like he's arguing with an amoeba.

4. That I don't know, but,

Any board over his license to practice should revoke his. His public statements lying and encouraging anti sediments towards getting a vaccine , or wearing a mask is very irresponsible, and hurting American people. Being a public government official should not give him immunity from being made to stop doing this, or practice anything in the medical field. He dangerous.

2. Same reason Trumps lawyers are still licensed...

They are Repuglican.
To break your sworn oath is perfectly fine if you are Republican.

[duforsure]

5. The orange loser has had 3 lawyers to lose theirs,

And 2 more close to losing theirs in the near future. Doctors peddling propaganda , that are in our government while a deadly pandemic is raging, shouldn't have a license to practice medicine. Lawyers shouldn't have one either who act out badly either.

10. Ok. Giuliani lost his but Cohen is a Democrat.

Always has been.
Maybe that's why he's the only Trump crony who ever went to jail.
I haven't heard of the third.

7. Because he is self certified

He literally made up his own certification board for opthomology.. put his family and friends on the board, designed the test himself, then took his own test.

Luckily for him Kentucky apparently doesn't require board certification.

11. He probably could not have pulled this trick in advanced state. It would

be kind to call it a license to practice quackery.

8. Good question, they asked the same question tonight on the discussion on MSNBC

Not only is he promoting disinformation (Hydroxychloroquine!!!), he knew he'd been exposed, but he took no precautions, didn't even bother quarantining!

9. The AMA has said they would be revoking licenses from any MD that spreads misinformation

12. Because he set up his own certification board, although it looks like even that no longer exists.

What's True
In 1999, Paul set up and was "certified" by the National Board of Ophthalmologists (NBO), his own certification organization, to protest a change in the American Board of Ophthalmologists' (ABO) rules. Paul, his wife, and his father-in-law were listed as being in charge of this board.

What's False
However, Paul wasn't certified by the NBO alone. Until 2005, he was also certified by the ABO, though he let that certification lapse. He remained "certified" by the NBO until it was dissolved in 2011.

What's Undetermined
Although Rand was advertised as "board-certified" until at least 2013, it is unknown if he continued to present himself as such after that.
