Dear Editor,
One of the reasons that the AMA was established in the 1850s was to protect doctors’ incomes. Back then people were more honest about things apparently.
It was during the latter part of the 19th century that the AMA became quite politically active becoming involved in establishing “practice acts” in the individual states. These acts were intended to “protect the public” against those who were considered quacks by the AMA.
Do you think that political posturing by well-known medical journals is never “fake news”? Did they ever address the issue regarding why 80% of the people in Hong Kong refused the experimental corona virus vaccine after those in Hong Kong learned that almost no one in mainland China was receiving these vaccinations? When you read that publications like the New England Journal of Medicine and the Lancet are full of positive reports on how safe and effective the new vaccines are, you must remember that there are highly credentialed medical professionals who disagree with them. Be sure you get the whole story about anything you are researching!
I personally have found that the American Bar Association and the American Medical Association are both dominated by what some of us consider left wing radicals. I believe that the publications from both of these organizations do not reflect what publications of allegedly “learned professions” should be about; i.e. about pseudo science and the wonders of our tyrannical society.
