The Defender reported that the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) revoked the certifications of Drs. Pierre Kory and Paul Marik, founders of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC). Kory served as the former president of the organization, while Marik serves as its chief scientific officer.
The revocation followed the board's two-year probe into the two doctors' promotion of ivermerctin and hydroxychloroquine as COVID-19 treatments, alongside their statements questioning the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 injections. According to the Washington Post, the two continued "to promote ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication, as a treatment for COVID-19 long after the medical community found it to be ineffective." The outlet also cited unnamed experts who claimed the the FLCCC "spread misinformation about the [COVID-19] pandemic.
A summary of the ABIM's decision reviewed by the Defender pointed out that the conduct of Kory and Marik "poses serious concerns for patient safety and undermines the trust that the public and the medical profession place in the meaning of ABIM board certification."
The FLCCC expressed its categorical disagreement with the decision in an Aug. 14 statement. "We believe this decision represents a dangerous shift away from the foundational principles of medical discourse and scientific debate that have historically been the bedrock of medical education associations," it stated.
"It's essential that we continue to discuss and debate all perspectives if we are to uphold the integrity of our profession," Marik said. "Without open scientific debate, we risk losing the opportunity to discover better treatments, such as proven repurposed drugs for new viruses, and to provide the best patient care and save lives."
"This fight is about more than just our right to speak – it's about protecting the future of healthcare," said Kory. "When doctors are silenced for questioning the prevailing narrative, we all lose."
Dr. Meryl Nass also targeted in MEDICAL LAWFARE efforts
MedPageToday noted that prior to the revocation, Marik holds ABIM certifications in internal medicine and critical care medicine. Meanwhile, Kory also holds the same ABIM certifications as Marik – with an extra certification in pulmonary disease.
Kory and Marik aren't the only ones in the ABIM's crosshairs, however. Even Dr. Meryl Nass has found herself incurring the board's wrath, leading to the revocation of her certification without her knowledge. She told the Defender that she was blindsided by the move.
"After the Maine Medical Board (MMB) suspended my license illegally – even though none of my alleged transgressions met the statutory requirement for an immediate suspension – the [MMB] later found me guilty of things I had not done and continued the suspension. All of this with never a single patient complaint," said Nass.
"Now I learn, by chance, that the ABIM has suspended me without ever informing me I was even under an investigation – which is illegal according to [its] process."
Nass also explained why a board certification is important for her. She said that getting hospital privileges and collecting insurance reimbursements would be very difficult without it. Despite this, Nass remarked that she could potentially work on her own "if patients paid me directly."
The beleaguered physician from Maine ultimately blasted organizations like ABIM for engaging in what she dubbed as "medical lawfare." She accused the board of "creating crimes that do not exist, using procedures that do not exist, to try and silence people."
"The COVID-19 vaccines are very dangerous. They don't prevent COVID-19. Drugs can effectively treat COVID-19, and I prescribed those drugs and helped hundreds of Maine citizens. That was my crime." (Related: Japanese study finds that ivermectin is "safe and effective" for treating covid.)
Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, whose certifications were revoked by the ABIM in 2022, also put in his two cents on the three doctors' predicaments.
"The ABIM is violating principles of equal protection, due process, rules of evidence and has gone ex post facto to find reasons to attack qualified ABIM-certified doctors who innovated and saved lives early in the pandemic," he told the Defender.
