My Friend the Witch Doctor, He Taught Me What to Say

At ‘woke’ medical schools, curricula are increasingly focused on social justice rather than treating illness. [More]

Gunquacks are made and not born.

So Much for 'First Do No Harm'

Guns in the Medical Literature: A Call for Scientific Integrity [More]

Edgar A. Suter, M.D., founder of Doctors for Integrity in Public Policy, got a piece in the current Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons that exposes the gunquacks. It shows their malpractice has less to do with incompetence and more to do with deliberate, agenda über alles mendacity.

I'm Not a Climate Scientist But I Play One on TV

Wearing white laboratory coats to symbolize their research credentials... [More]

So the "qualifications" are symbolic. Just like gunquacks are presumed competent with theirs, or "Only Ones" with their magic uniforms and badges...

Curious how their spokesflack has no credentials in the field she's representing. Although I do see some acting credits.

Well who'da thunk: They're fronting for the environmentalcases.

Now with Three Times the Bullsh!+!

UC Davis releases three studies on gun violence prevention [More]

A whole spate!

Brought to you by "The Hero of Medicine"!

In this bit of taxpayer-funded subversion we find "intimate partner violence" includes the subjective determination that what may be a long-overdue verbal rejoinder combined with the "liquor cabinet loophole" are potential areas to focus rights-erosion efforts on.

We also see a renewed push for totally unqualified gunquacks trading on  perceived gravitas to offer prescriptions outside their areas of expertise, and definitively prove that if you feed a lie to enough ignoramuses for long enough with no sources of alternative information, most of them will swallow it.

Not that the bubble-headed bleach blonde, practiced at looking solemn and authoritative and all "You can have it all, girl!", hasn't bought into it herself...

9 Out of 10 Gunquacks Agree

 Predictably, some of these ghost guns cause trauma, injury and death. [More]

So there's something about being undead that animates them?

I note this gunquack is cashing in on the false equivalency of counting on credentialing in one discipline translating into credibility into an area for which he has none. He just doesn't like guns and wants the state to disarm you.

Physician, Heal Thyself

Multiple studies show that suicide rates are higher among physicans than the general public, the highest suicide rate of any profession, and this vulnerability manifests in providers throughout the course of training and practice. [More]

So the bloody gunquacks are projecting...?

People Behave Rationally. Academics Horrified.

 The study also showed new firearm and ammunition purchases during the pandemic in response to concerns about lawlessness, prisoner releases and even government collapse. The researchers estimate that about 110,000 Californians bought firearms directly in response to the pandemic, 47,000 for the first time. [More]

So naturally, the eggheads and gunquacks insist it would be safer if the Koreans just came down off those rooftops unarmed.

A Bridge Too Far

Governor Jared Polis has appointed 35-year-old Shoshana Lew, whose education consists of a master’s in history, to be Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Transportation. [More]

Well, if gunquacks can presume to be qualified to offer citizen disarmament prescriptions, why not?

Voices of Authority?

 We must listen to the scientists, for example, who tell us that 2+2 = white supremacy. We must listen to the scientists who tell us that biology no longer determines sex. And we absolutely must listen to the scientists who tell us to cower in fear in our homes because of a virus. [More]

And don't forget to listen to the gunquacks!

 Bills to lower concealed carry age to 18, allow firearms in cars on school grounds may make violence worse [More]

Why, will teen gangbangers get permits now? Will the changes legalize violent criminal abuses? 

You realize what we're dealing with here...

That and gunquacks.

AMA’s Anti-Gun Proposals Put Political Agenda Over Science

AMA meddling to undermine a fundamental right is nothing short of malpractice. [More]

The gunquacks are sticking their bills where they don't belong again.

We're the Only Ones Influential Enough

According to a THP spokesperson, Paris Police arrested Trooper Daryl Veliz and charged him with DUI, refusal of implied consent and possession of a weapon while intoxicated. [More]

Not that the Bloombergians and gunquacks want to hear about it...

Questions for Gunquacks

Download the DRGO Resource Document “What to Do When Your Doctor Asks About Your Guns”. [More]

I've got one of my own.

Jujuology

That said, there is still the usual implication that somehow guns act on their own and if only they would change their behavior things would be better. [More]

In other words, they're not just gunquacks, they're witch doctors.

We Used to Call Such Prescriptions 'Malpractice'

Gun violence is nowhere to be found in any of Dr. Adams’ list of top priorities. [More]

That's because it's not a medical issue, no matter how much agenda-fluffing gunquacks want to convince the ignorant otherwise.

I wonder how ol' Doc Skorton would do on this...

Pro-Gun Owner Physicians Decry ‘Docs vs. Glocks’ Ruling

Physicians have remarkable training to be able to do what they do. That does not make them experts in everything, and there are plenty of areas where doctors can be ignorant and as fallible. That means they can be biased. [More]

The court has given Gunquacks free rein to stick their beaks where they don’t belong.

Subsidized Gunquackery

The state of California will pay $3.85 million to researchers at the University of California, Davis, to develop the nation’s first program to train health care professionals to help their patients reduce firearm-related injury and death, university officials announced Tuesday. [More]

I'm sure the Hero of Medicine will be able to quantifiably document those reductions, right? Because otherwise, why, wouldn't that be medical fraud...?

At least the gunquacks will now be able to put a certification on the questionnaire, but that all presupposes what they're being "trained" in isn't witchdoctoring.

Bloody Gunquack Meltdowns on Twitter Show Motives about Agenda, Not Science

Why are their opinions on guns more qualified than their opinions on what to do about that pinging noise under the hood, or what the proper mix of mutual funds and high tech stocks in your retirement portfolio should be? Just because they’re (presumably) highly competent in one field doesn’t mean they know squat about others. [More]

"Stay in your lane" is a lot more polite a suggestion than what these fraudulent gunquacks merit.

But Fear Itself

 Fear has become a new virtue. Never before in the history of this country have we told people that fear is good,” or to “settle into” those fears and allow them “to control and constrain your life,” said McDonald, who spoke at the American Front Line Doctors White Coat Summits in July and October. [More]

Of course, we have. What the hell do you think the entire "gun control" movement has been about all these decades? And some of the worst spreaders of that are the damned gunquacks.
