Houston doctor suspended for vaccine misinformation sues Methodist Hospital
A Houston doctor whose privileges were taken away at Methodist Hospital for spreading COVID-19 misinformation has filed a lawsuit against the hospital.
Dr. Mary Bowden, an ear, nose, and throat doctor in River Oaks, had her provisional privileges taken away after making claims online related to vaccine efficacy.
On her Twitter feed, Bowden has called the recent omicron-fueled surge in COVID-19 "a pandemic of the vaccinated."
Claims that omicron is leading to worse outcomes for vaccinated patients have no support from the greater medical community, and it has never been true during the pandemic since vaccines became available: Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that since January of 2021 unvaccinated Americans have had significantly higher hospitalization rates than people who are fully vaccinated.
