Santa Monica rally, with doctors being the antivaxxers. And using Qanon chant. Says Ivermectin...

One doctor said "We can even bring up the fact that Japan now has named Ivermectin the official drug for COVID patients"



Dr. Christopher Rake, an anesthesiologist from UCLA medical center, tells the crowd, “They want to force a vaccination or medication or treatment into my body that I don’t want. So they’re telling me, ‘Take the jab or we take your job.’ And I’m here to say no. That’s not ok.”



After warning the crowd against listing their religion as an exemption to the vaccine (he says the gov’t will come after you & restrict your travel), Dr. Christopher Rake ends his speech with a Q-Anon chant.



This doctor (did not catch his name) spread a lot of misinformation during his speech. This was the most glaring. “We can even bring up the fact that Japan now has named Ivermectin the official drug for COVID patients.”

To think an MD is spewing rumors is proof that anyone can succumb to cult like thinking.

NONE OF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE STOP IT. you are helping to kill people

EarlG really needs to do something about you and what you post, this is beyond ridiculous.

If I am alerted on: This poster is a long-time anti-vaxxer, and is now continually posting anti vaxx nonsense, including disinformation like this. Please contact EarlG about this directly if you want DU to stop allowing this stuff to eb posted. I ahve had it.

Some people see the title and think the person must *know*. I don't know what kind of ophthalmologist Rand Paul is, but he is an idiot about viruses.

So, one doctor is anesthesiologist, and we don't know what the other one is. If I get a potentially life threatening disease, I'm not going to seek out an anesthesiologist to help me.

It's cute the way these doctors are wearing their "doctor coats" as a prop.

pushing the same crap about not taking vaccines.

It seems to be getting to the point where the jackasses are controlling narratives

I'm surprised they didn't have stethoscopes on.
