Trumps HHS pick belongs to fringe group of anti-vax
‘Tea Party’ doctors who believe Obama hypnotized voters
The man who President-elect Donald Trump has named as his pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services is a right-wing true believer with a track record of virulent antigay and anti-women’s rights views.
Not only is Price a dyed-in-the-wool regressive conservative, he’s a member of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS).
“That told me a lot about him,” Orac wrote, “and none of it good.”
The AAPS is a fringe group of Tea Party-affiliated doctors which espouses a number of ridiculous and farcical claims — including the charge that Pres. Barack Obama used hypnosis and mind control techniques to win the White House — all of which revolve around an ultra-conservative agenda.
The AAPS, Orac said, is somehow never held accountable for its “dangerous medical quackery, such as antivaccine pseudoscience blaming vaccines for autism, including a view that is extreme even among antivaccine activists, namely that the ‘shaken baby syndrome’ is a ‘misdiagnosis’ for vaccine injury; its HIV/AIDS denialism; its blaming immigrants for crime and disease; its promotion of the pseudoscience claiming that abortion causes breast cancer using some of the most execrable ‘science’ ever; its rejection of evidence-based guidelines as an unacceptable affront on the godlike autonomy of physicians; or the way the AAPS rejects even the concept of a scientific consensus about anything.”
