Well I certainly hope all the old Trumpsters forgo the flu vaccine.
He tried to soften that on Wednesday. âI want to reiterate my wife and I vaccinated our children, and we believe, and advise others they should have their children vaccinated,â he said in a statement.
Putting his two statements together, it is clear that the voters of Tennessee should have voted for his wife instead.
However, this isnât the first time Green has stirred up controversy â per the Post, he was intended to be President Donald Trumpâs Army secretary nominee until his inflammatory comments about Islam, LGBTQ issues and evolution took him out of the running.
So in his district in TN there are not Muslims or LGBTQ folks? As for evolution Iâm sure that there are very fine people on both sides.
A witch Dr.?
âI want to reiterate my wife and I vaccinated our children, and we believe, and advise others they should have their children vaccinated,â he said in a statement.
I think in his case it caused Assburger disorder.
Sadly thereâs no test in medical school to evaluate an ethereal concept like âwisdomâ. If there was, not only would we not have this tool⌠Iâd have to deal with fewer physicians just like him on a daily basis.
(to be fair, most of the physicians I deal with are totally cool)
Funny how heâs sided with Big Pharmaâs lie about opiods (which are causing real deaths and lasting damage) but canât quite get his head around real numbers from the FDA & CDC about vaccines.
Dr. Green won the seat vacated by Rep Blackburn. He was on the PBS Newshour perhaps last week with 3 other freshman (2-Râs, 2-Dâs). Sounds like a standard âmarket forcesâ to fix healthcare R.
Judy Woodruff: Mark Green, were you getting a different message from the voters in Tennessee, where, as you said, you got, what, a 35-point margin?
Rep.-Elect Mark Green, R-Tenn.: A 35-point victory, yes. Iâm an E.R. physician, and I run a health care company in about 11 states. We had about 1,000 providers working for us. If you want to fix health care, we have got to reverse the incentives. Thatâs the real problem.
And I think free market will do that. If you look at LASIK eye surgery, it was like $2,000 an eye when it came out. And while technology has improved incredibly, the price of â I saw an ad the other day for $200 an eye. So we have got to get market forces and people choosing, making choices, and then we will â and then we will fix health care.

Judy Woodruff: And what about on the Republican side? Are you prepared to stand up to the president, if it comes to it?
Rep.-Elect Mark Green, R-Tenn.: I think I â at this point,I canât imagine an issue right now where I would be different. But if there was one, I mean, I would support the people in my district. Theyâre the people who sent me here. So, I work for them. Theyâre the boss. And in military terms, I report to them. But, right now, I canât think of an issue where we would be different.
Rep.-Elect Who Is A Doctor Walks Back Lies Based on Fabricated Nonsense That Vaccines Cause Autism
Fixed the headline for you, TPM.
Is it possible to walk back his election win? There are plenty of damn fools harming and killing their own, but I cannot abide by those with the potential to do it in great numbers.
Well well wellâŚyou prostitute yourself to get elected and you âforgetâ scientific fact and all your education.
Oh gawd. Why is market-driven âinvisible handâ stuff always so vague? Wait, forget it, I answered my own question.
Most people collapsing and being rushed to the ER prefer to have multiple phone lines open in the back of the ambulance so they can compare and negotiate rates and services with all the local hospitals before deciding on treatment, no? Itâs the beauty of the free market!
Is the anti-vaxxer electorate so large that a physician feels compelled to pander to it, or do you suppose he is an anti-vaxxer by conviction? Either possibility is more than disconcerting.
If by âconvictionâ you mean âtoo intellectually lazy to consider complex, multi-factorial causation, so reflexively opts for blaming the âgummint,ââ then thatâs the one Iâd pick.
Itâs a simple qualitative analysis.
Big Pharma => Big GOP campaign contributions => unquestionably true
FDA & CDC => Socialist takeover => unquestionably false
I donât care. He should lose his license the same way that the original fraudulent doctor did.
So it appears he wasnât lying to his patients about vaccinations, just to the constituents in his district. Thatâs so much betterâŚ
Amish have very low rates of autism. People who live in New Jersey have very high rates. In the case of vaccines, the issue earlier was the use of methyl-mercury preservatives, which ceased to be used in the 1990s. If I was in Kentucky and needed to worry about something, Iâd have a look at all that roundup they dump on the state.
the top ten environmental compounds suspected of causing autism and learning disabilities were listed and they included: lead, methyl-mercury, polychorinated biphenyls, organophosphate pesticides, organochlorine pesticides, endocrine disruptors, automotive exhaust, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and perfluorinated compounds.
Why did I know, even before clicking on the story, that it would be a Republican at the center of the story?
