In early October 2021, Americans, whether vaccinated or not, continue to be diagnosed with COVID-19. The use of a common disinfectant, povidone-iodine (PVP-I or Betadine™) has been suggested as a preventive measure, and seven studies have shown efficacy in early treatment or pre-exposure prophylaxis. For example, Bidra et al. showed rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 when […]
You may have been postponing a trip, wondering whether it is safe to fly again. I just returned from a conference in Pittsburgh, and things appeared normal—more or less. The plane was full, and the terminal was busy. There were frequent announcements over the loudspeaker about the requirement to be masked inside the terminal, under […]
I hope you don’t get COVID—if you do, you probably will have lot of trouble finding a doctor who will prescribe early treatment applying one of a number of published protocols. Doctors do not want to be called “foolish” by their colleagues or summoned to defend their license before the medical board. Ivermectin is the […]
If you work for a company that is giving employees an opportunity to have a conversation with an expert concerning COVID vaccination, say their PharmD, what might you ask? Our Sept 11 dispatch suggested several questions: Can you delay the requirement pending availability of the only FDA-approved product, labeled Comirnaty, or better yet, completion of […]
If you are not already in the half of Americans who are fully vaccinated, President Biden’s speech on mandates gives the vaccination decision a new urgency. The timing, just prior to the 20th anniversary of 9/11—and just after our chaotic exit from Afghanistan—is interesting. As Biden said, “this is not about freedom or personal choice.” […]
We frequently receive calls asking for help in requesting an exemption from COVID-19 vaccination. Medical Exemptions: It may be difficult or impossible to find a doctor licensed in your state to sign an exemption. Some state medical boards are aggressively disciplining physicians for writing vaccine exemptions. Many entities imposing mandates seem to be using the […]
To: Medical Societies, Hospitals, Clinics, and Other Healthcare Facilities The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is very concerned about the growing number of facilities that are firing workers who decline to take the experimental COVID-19 vaccines, and the growing number of healthcare-related organizations encouraging them to do so. Although medical exemptions are supposedly […]
AAPS Statement regarding the July 29 Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) call to delicense physicians who “generate and spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation or disinformation” The FSMB statement was followed less than a month later by an article in the widely distributed publication MedPage Today lamenting that no physicians had so far been disciplined for […]
The voluntary COVID-19 vaccination program has failed to achieve 100 percent compliance, and coercive measures are increasing, even before any vaccine has full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), makes the following observations: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about […]
A major reason for vaccine hesitancy is the belief that the COVID jabs might alter your genes. A recent article in Medscape addresses this concern: “Chance That COVID-19 Vaccines Are Gene Therapy? ‘Zero’.” The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) states that conclusions should be based on scientific evidence, not solely on expert opinion.
