Her offer was later rescinded after the center found out Kollab lied during her application process, claiming she resigned from the Cleveland Clinic because of a death in the family — not in lieu of termination due to her discriminatory social media posting.
Past tweets and posts on social media dating from August to September were documented by Canary Mission , an anti-hate watchdog that exposes anti-Semitism. Another translated tweet on Aug. Kollab authored several other tweets and social media posts comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and lacking sympathy for the Holocaust both while she was an undergraduate at John Carroll University, a Jesuit Catholic university located in Cleveland, Ohio, and after she graduated.
According to the ruling of retired judge Amnon Strashnov, who was appointed by Health Minister Yuli Edelstein to oversee the case, Avni poses a danger to the public. Earlier this month, Facebook announced that it had removed a major Israeli group promoting conspiracy theories about the vaccines that had urged its thousands of members to schedule appointments to inoculate and then to cancel them at the last minute, forcing HMOs to throw out unused doses.
The removal of the group from the social media platform came after the Health Ministry reportedly asked Facebook to take down the posts of anti-vaxxers bragging about their exploits. The social media giant has pledged to keep anti-vaxxers and those spreading fake vaccination information off its platform. Days later, the social media giant deleted another group associated with popular Israeli rabbi Amnon Yitzhak that peddled fake news about the pandemic and the immunizations. That was already becoming clear, however.
The full board approved the statement unanimously. Before the drug was proved to be useless for the purpose, the theme was picked up by President Trump and Mehmet Oz, a doctor with a huge broadcast following.
Some doctors have purveyed misinformation on Fox News and other right-wing broadcast outlets. Pierre Kory, a Wisconsin doctor assiduously promoting the anti-parasitic medicine Ivermectin as a COVID treatment despite the absence of valid scientific evidence for the claim, was even invited to testify to a Senate subcommittee.
Some have allegedly inflated or misrepresented professional credentials or achievements, which enhances their authoritativeness.
Since Feb. The July 28 lawsuit seeks to force McCullough to stop using his former relationship. A few state medical boards have taken action against doctors spreading COVID or vaccine misinformation, but enforcement appears to have been spotty.
That moment can come years after the alleged wrongdoing , during which the doctor can continue practicing without informing patients of an ongoing inquiry. Medical boards are typically underfinanced and understaffed, and often underambitious.
They often sit on their hands until they receive a complaint, whether from a patient or a medical colleague, instead of opening investigations on their own initiative. It also can be hard to expose doctors communicating misinformation, because that can happen privately in clinical encounters between doctors and patients, rather than through public statements.
State medical boards are typically most aggressive in disciplining doctors for offenses that fall into certain clear-cut categories, such as practicing while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, sexual improprieties with patients, or felony convictions. Thus far, there appear to have been only two disciplinary actions taken against doctors strictly for misinformation or disinformation related to the pandemic. Last December, the Oregon Medical Board issued an emergency suspension of the license of Steven LaTulippe after finding that he was seeing patients without wearing a mask, allowing his staff to interact with patients unmasked, and encouraging patients to doff their masks.
Oregon law requires masks to be worn by healthcare workers in clinical settings. He also spread anti-mask claims in public, including at a pro-Trump rally in November.
