Long story on one part of the anti-vaccine movement: chiropractors.

Anti-vaccine chiropractors rising force of misinformation | AP News

The flashy postcard, covered with images of syringes, beckoned people to attend Vax-Con ’21 to learn “the uncensored truth” about COVID-19 vaccines.

Participants traveled from around the country to a Wisconsin Dells resort for a sold-out convention that was, in fact, a sea of misinformation and conspiracy theories about vaccines and the pandemic. The featured speaker was the anti-vaccine activist who appeared in the 2020 movie “Plandemic,” which pushed false COVID-19 stories into the mainstream. One session after another discussed bogus claims about the health dangers of mask wearing and vaccines.

The convention was organized by members of a profession that has become a major purveyor of vaccine misinformation during the pandemic: chiropractors.

They have also been the leading force behind anti-vaccine events like the one in Wisconsin, where hundreds of chiropractors from across the U.S. shelled out $299 or more to attend. The AP found chiropractors were allowed to earn continuing education credits to maintain their licenses in at least 10 states.

Even before the pandemic, many chiropractors became active in the so-called “health freedom” movement, advocating in state legislatures from Massachusetts to South Dakota to allow more people to skip vaccinations.

Since 2019, the AP found, chiropractors and chiropractor-backed groups have worked to influence vaccine-related legislation and policy in at least 24 states. For example, an organization started by a chiropractor and a co-owner of a chiropractic business takes credit for torpedoing a New Jersey bill in early 2020 that would have ended the state’s religious exemption for vaccines.

The first complaint the Federal Trade Commission filed under the COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act was in April against a Missouri chiropractor. It alleges he falsely advertised that “vaccines do not stop the spread of the virus,” but that supplements he sold for $24 per bottle plus $9.95 shipping did. He says he did not advertise his supplements that way and is fighting the allegations in court.

Nebraska chiropractor Ben Tapper landed on the “Disinformation Dozen,” a list compiled by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which says he is among the small group of people responsible for nearly two-thirds of anti-vaccine content online. Tapper went viral with posts downplaying the dangers of COVID-19, criticizing “Big Pharma,” and stoking fears of the vaccine.

Tapper said he has been called a “quack” and lost patients, and that Venmo and PayPal seized his accounts. In his view, the public is being told that they need a vaccine to be healthy, which he doesn’t believe is true. He said vaccines have no place in what he calls the “wellness and prevention paradigm.”

“We’re trying to defend our rights,” Tapper told AP, when asked why so many chiropractors are involved in the anti-vaccine movement. “We’re defending our scope of practice.”

A patient testimonial on the website of a chiropractor in Georgia proclaims, “Dr. Lou has taught me how toxic shots and vaccinations are.” Another, for a chiropractor in Pennsylvania, says that in less than two months of treatments, “the vaccination against contracting diphtheria (that was given to me as a child over 50 years ago) had been expelled from my body!” A chiropractor in Hollywood warns of the “dangers and unfortunately the EVIL associated with the new covid-19 vaccine.”

A Michigan chiropractor, Kyle McKamey, tells patients on a pediatric intake form “If you would like information regarding the dangers of vaccines and how to refuse them, let us know!” The line is punctuated by a smiley face emoji.

McKamey offered to write notes exempting people from vaccine and mask mandates, and said even if they weren’t a patient, they could become one and get a note, according to a Facebook post spotted by the ABC affiliate in South Bend, Indiana. He wrote in the post that “as a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, I have the same authority” as a medical doctor to write exemption notes. McCamey did not return messages seeking comment.

In Wisconsin, Vax-Con was not just a way to spread anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. It was a way to make money.

Tickets cost $299 for chiropractors who were members of the event’s organizer, The Chiropractic Society of Wisconsin, and $129 for chiropractic technicians. Nonmember chiropractors paid $399.

Georgia-based Life University, which bills itself as the world’s largest single-campus chiropractic university, acted as Vax-Con’s sponsor and vouched for the program as “viable postgraduate materials” in a letter to state regulators. For its role, the school was paid $35 per attendee, according to its president, Robert Scott.

Brian Wussow, a chiropractor and vice president of the Chiropractic Society of Wisconsin, later told a state Senate committee that more than 400 chiropractors and 100 chiropractic technicians from Minnesota, South Dakota, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas attended.

“In fact, the demand for this CE program was so great the numbers do not reflect the actual interest to attend, but the capacity of the room at the hotel,” he said, according to written testimony.

Based on ticket prices, the event would have generated revenue of at least $130,000.

Offering continuing education courses is so lucrative that the Chiropractic Society of Wisconsin has been pushing the Legislature to allow it to sponsor such courses directly, without going through a provider such as Life University.

How poetic.

So unvaccinated people have more oxygen in the blood because it's obviously not going to their brain?

 

[behindyourightnow]

It was pretty devious of Bill Gates to sneak cyanide into the water supply after only putting the antidote in the vaccine

 

[JaneThough]

He probably believes realrawnews and project veritas, too

Stop picking on him, India totally eradicated COVID with a secret recipe cocktail and they are willing to sell it to whomever will pay.

If you are still vaccine hesitant bring 100 bob and vagene to 4210 Wolfetown Rd, Cherokee, NC 28719

Unrelated, I'm starting to hear that we've had more covid deaths so far in 2021 than all of 2020. How is this possible with over half the population fully vaccinated? I actually do believe the vaccine works and should be taken by vulnerable people so how the hell are we still seeing so many deaths? Is it just because we aren't in lockdown anymore?

Because a lot of retards are anti-vaxers. The numbers show that the overwhelming dead people are the unvaccinated.

Also, the vaccine wasn't widely available in the US until April or so of this year and there was that huge surge around January.

Also, I forgot what that video was supposed to be proof of before I can refute it. Please remind me again lol.

Neither of those look like blood. Hell, neither of those look like liquid. If I was to guess I'd say ketchup and strawberry \ raspberry jam.

Also it killed all of the people who were infected by it whereas Covid has a far lower death rate . So the people who have it cant due to prevent the infection

blood is actually pretty viscous since it's full of platelets, white blood cells, red blood cells, glucose, proteins, plasma, and traces of other miscellaneous shit. it's why when you donate blood, the collection bag is kept on a little mechanical rocker that tilts from side to side so all those components don't clump up and separate before your donation can be sent off.

also, the lighting is all fucked up, and real blood already looks weird as is.

It's still too thick for a sample that's to be used in any way. Notice how the "vaccinated" sample is pretty much solid, no way it could be used for any kind of test if it was real. The "unvaccinated" sample has wrong color - a bit too light \ orange, like fake blood from 80s horror - but this indeed may be caused by bad lighting.
