Kansas chiropractors spread misinformation about COVID vaccines, without consequence
When hundreds of people filled up a Lenexa church on Sept. 20 to spread the gospel of “health freedom,” three Kansas chiropractors were among their top supporters.
Right at the top was Kansas City chiropractor Jay Goodbinder’s Epigenetics Healing Center at the “Royal” level of sponsorship, with a donation of at least $10,000. The Docere Life Center in Wichita weighed in at the “Silver” level of $1,500, and Thrive Chiropractic of Topeka was listed as funding a prize that could have ranged from $500 to $1,500.
In so doing, the chiropractors, who must meet professional standards to be licensed in Kansas and Missouri, put themselves on record as supporting an event that sowed fear of COVID-19 vaccinations with every speaker. There were tearful testimonials from parents who believed their family members were damaged, as well as lectures from scientists who purported to have evidence supporting the anti-vaccine point of view. And there was advice about strategies to avoid employer vaccine mandates.
Chiropractors, in fact, have become major purveyors of misinformation about COVID treatments and have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to anti-vaccine events, according to an investigation by the Associated Press.
