Seven doctors contract Covid after attending Florida anti-vaccine summit
The Guardian, 11/23/2021

Seven anti-vaccine doctors fell sick after gathering earlier this month for a Florida “summit” at which alternative treatments for Covid-19 were discussed.

“I have been on ivermectin for 16 months, my wife and I,” Dr Bruce Boros told the audience at the event held at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, adding: “I have never felt healthier in my life.”

The 71-year-old cardiologist and staunch anti-vaccine advocate contracted Covid-19 two days later, according to the head event organizer, Dr John Littell.

Littell, an Ocala family physician, also told the Daily Beast six other doctors among 800 to 900 participants at the event also tested positive or developed Covid-19 symptoms “within days of the conference”.

1. Who would have thought.

A bunch of unvaxed people getting together.

[Captain Zero]

57. The Ivermectin worked great, huh?

Around his anti-vax medical cohorts?

NOT.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't care. Do you?
It will be fun to see how màny of them just die.

[Texaswitchy]

60. And Drs.

[Rebl2]

74. They should

lose their license to practice-if they live

[Larissa]

98. I get it now

Ivermectin is a raving success, as long as you don't get Covid-19.

[homegirl]

92. And one who doesn't tell...

U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) made a stunning revelation Tuesday afternoon: he had contracted COVID-19, but appears to have not made any public disclosures of his health status. Jordan is both anti-vaxx and and anti-mask, and still refuses to reveal his vaccination status.

"I've had the virus, I don't talk about my health status with reporters," Congressman Jordan told a Spectrum News Capitol Hill reporter who had asked if he has been vaccinated since saying over the summer he had not been.

"I've had the coronavirus and recovered," Jordan said, adding that he's had his antibodies tested and is eligible to "donate plasma."

Asked if he knew when he had COVID-19 Jordan said, "I believe it was back early in the summer." It's unclear why he would say he "believes" it was early in the summer.

[Haggard Celine]

2. Well, well

[Texaswitchy]

3. I know.

And Drs.

[magicarpet]

20. .... Jesus spoke.....

[3Hotdogs]

31. That Jesus fella, ya notice one thing about him......

on fine sense of humor.

[StClone]

58. Jesus said on to them cast your nets here Drs.

And you shall catch the virus. And Jesus added: Drs. not believing in vaccines are like a lifeguard who doesn't believe in swimming or fishing.

[magicarpet]

62. Praise the Lord,... Pass the Ivermectin.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. 16 months of ivermectin?

How did he divide one pill into 16 doses?

[yardwork]

75. Is it a pill? I thought it was paste.

[SoCalNative]

5. Sounds like karma

just ran over their dogma!

[Texaswitchy]

10. Big time.

Horse paste didn't work.

[Bev54]

6. Karma has a bite!

[demigoddess]

93. Karma rules!

[Silent3]

7. They can just claim "Mission accomplished!"...

...since apparently among many of these nutters deliberately getting infected is a thing.

[BeckyDem]

8. What a shock, huh?

[lame54]

9. But you should see how fast he runs the quarter mile

[TexasTowelie]

17. LOL.

I just had my 420 break so I was ready for a joke that required a bit of thinking.

[dameatball]

23. "Post#9" comin up fast on the outside!

[geardaddy]

90. How many furlongs is that?

[3auld6phart]

96. LOL

[lpbk2713]

12. I don't like to belittle anyone's pain and suffering.

But really.

[Texaswitchy]

14. Do not feel bad.

They are Drs and should know better.

[hatrack]

16. It's OK - I'll do it for you . . .

Fuck 'em. Idiots. Blatantly stupid people, MDs notwithstanding.

And that's up to seven hospital beds that could have been be used by people who didn't flirt with a deadly viral infection. But no.

[SergeStorms]

44. Many Florida Doctors....

are graduates of Caribbean "medical schools" that are little more than diploma mills. And of course that certifies them to practice in Florida, because........well.........Florida.

[VWolf]

73. To quote George Carlin ...

"Somewhere in the world is the world's worst doctor. And what's truly terrifying is that someone has an appointment with him tomorrow morning."

[Coventina]

13. These guys/gals are pure evil.

It's amazing to me that their credentials have not been pulled.

[Vinca]

15. I hope these people didn't steal any ivermectin from the horses while they were at the equestrian

center. Guess this is proof positive the person who finishes last in his medical school class is still called doctor.

[Jilly_in_VA]

18. No sympathy.

They should have seen it coming.

[BadGimp]

19. Irony Meter breaks...

v

[barbtries]

21. Boros is on sorryantivaxxer.com today.

the editor did not know there were 7 of them from their little convention.

[ancianita]

45. Wow, thank you. Just got a look and gotta say, it's an interesting site.

[barbtries]

59. yes.

i'm hooked on it. I share some posts for certain people i know on fb who are anti-vax. probably spitting in the wind, but one stands a good chance of mothering my first great grandchild, and the other is the daughter of one my dearest friends and i've known her all her life.

[ancianita]

69. I'd share it with my own anti-vax daughter but she won't bother thinking about it.

So I'll just keep it largely to myself. It's pretty darned interesting in that so many with "death by Covid" are degreed techs or professionals. How people get trained into a skillset and let no ripple of connection exist with other parts of their educations or themselves is kinda weird to me. But what do I know.

[barbtries]

81. It's propaganda that these people buy into.

the post on Boros I thought was particularly interesting because his "sources" are all right wing propaganda.

[louis-t]

79. I've been going with anti-vaxxer chronicles on daily kos.

Social media posts from anti-vaxxers who say the stupidest things, end up getting sick and often dying. Often, mis-informed geniuses post on their site "Did you try ivermectin? Don't let them give you Remdisivir, it's bad for your kidneys." Then a family member goes on their site and begs for prayers.

[Deuxcents]

22. Who are these doctors?

If they’re so proud of their decision, we should know who they are so we can make decisions about who we want taking care of us.

[Evolve Dammit]

24. Just because they received medical credentials does not mean they are intelligent. Rand Paul and Ben

Carson come to mind.

[spanone]

27. Don't forget Gosar, he's a 'dentist'.

[SCantiGOP]

63. And Rand Paul is an eye doctor

Yet he argued with Fauci about the area he has worked in since he graduated at the top of his class from Cornell.

[Evolve Dammit]

68. Q) What do you call the guy who graduated last in med school? A) Doctor

[irisblue]

29. About Ben Carson, in Pediatric brain surgery he is brilliant. IRL, no

I attended a med ed conference he was a speaker at, in the late 80s, he was very very good in that field.

[Evolve Dammit]

67. well that's good to hear. I have known multiple Doctors who had serious issues.

[spanone]

25. Science works in mysterious ways, eh docs?

[malaise]

26. Cain 'em!

That is all

[irisblue]

28. asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole dumbfuck

[LiberalFighter]

30. Their patients need to know.

[Drunken Irishman]

32. Sounds like Boros isn't doing too well.

So much for ivermectin.

[NCjack]

52. Most likely, the seven have turds without worms. That benefit is always overlooked.

[blogslug]

33. "the event held at the World Equestrian Center"

[Texaswitchy]

66. Free horse paste.

Ironic.

[Demobrat]

34. I wonder how many patients they infected. N/T

[appalachiablue]

49. ++ People should know whether docs are vaxxed, or not.

[ananda]

35. Those are doctors?

They should be stricken off from
practicing medicine.

[keithbvadu2]

37. Have them treat each other... at home... don't waste hospital resources.

[traitorsgalore]

38. Sadly, I don't care if they die. I've stared into the abyss and it looked back

I don't give a damn about covidiots anymore. Not one iota. They've been wishing me dead or don't care for 20 months now, they're a disease to all humanity. The world is better without them.

[TuxedoKat]

99. My MD

Told me he fired his PA because she wouldn’t get vaccinated, “Can’t have her endangering the patients.”, he said. Love him.

[Bristlecone]

39. Well, if he succumbs to this very real disease he's written his own epitaph:

“I have never felt healthier in my life.”

[oldsoftie]

40. I hope someone revisits these cases in a couple weeks.

I'd like to know how sick they get. Because even vaxed you can still catch covid. So, as much as I hate to put it this way (and i mean that), I hope they all get a harsh case of it. I wont wish them dead, but i want them to 'repent"

[LaMouffette]

41. How fitting that the pro-horse-dewormer-paste folks held their summit at an equestrian center!

Oops! Someone already pointed this out. Never mind!

[AllyCat]

42. They were at the WEC touting horse paste?

I hope the grooms and riders checked their vet kits after these idiots showed up.

[BlueIdaho]

43. Quack

Too bad there weren’t any Veterinarians at the equestrian center to advise these boneheads on the proper use of ivermectin.

[monkeyman1]

46. at least if goes to hospital , they won't have worm's on their medical charts!

[nycbos]

47. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

[iemanja]

48. thoughts and prayers

[TlalocW]

50. The EQUESTRIAN center?

Is there no one assigned to any kind of job where you think of the visuals of an event you're going to have?

TlalocW

[Hugin]

76. The irony writes itself these days.

There should be a general strike among poets.

[AngryOldDem]

91. I'm guessing the horse dewormer didn't work.

[boston bean]

51. At the World Equestrian Center?

You cannot make this shite up!

[steelyboo]

80. Yep, I think they are just fucking with us at this point

Next they are going to tell us they are building a world class medical R & D lab at Churchill Downs

[TomSlick]

53. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Mr. Evil]

54. Paging Dr. Covidiot...

Paging Dr. Covidiot please. Any one of you will do!

[Hassler]

55. And the best part is they held it at an equestrian center. Probably

Shared horse paste with the 🐎

[Groundhawg]

56. Its going to happen. I fear we are just going to have to learn to live with covid

[twodogsbarking]

61. They will be fine.

[Cha]

64. Aww.. Heal thyself, Docs!

[Hassler]

65. And the best part is they held it at an equestrian center. Probably

Shared horse paste with the 🐎

[48656c6c6f20]

70. So did they go to the Equestrian center to score some horse meds?

[Blue Owl]

71. Their summit was a few feet below sea level

[Harker]

72. Any that might survive would likely claim that they would've died without Ivermectin

in their systems.

If they die, they won't be lying, they'll be lying.

[AngryOldDem]

77. You know what? I just don't give a damn about these fools anymore.

My state legislature had a hearing on vaccine mandates yesterday. The bullshit I heard from the public would be hilarious if it weren’t so outrageous and WRONG.

Thin the herd. I’m done with the anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, and science deniers. If it comes back to having to ration care, they go to the very END of the line.

[BlueJac]

78. You have to love Karma!

Loving it and smiling at such dumbasses!

[thenelm1]

82. Pull their damned licenses to practice medicine. n/t

[FakeNoose]

87. I agree, but that article doesn't name them

... other than Dr. Boros who is a Florida native. Apparently the other seminar attendees came from outside the state. Certainly their patients need to know that they could be infected, if nothing else.

[seta1950]

83. CRAZY

Our dog’s medicine is not available because of idiots like them😤😤😤

[Saoirse9]

84. My former doctor's wife died of Covid

I was told a few months later (by my new doctor) that he refused to wear a mask even to visit her in the Covid ward. I went to see him for the last time in late September or early October -- he wasn't wearing a mask. His specialty is geriatric medicine and there were all kinds of elderly (masked) patients in the lobby waiting to see him.

A review of his and his wife's and son's Twitter pages shows all kinds of conspiracy theories related to the vaccine. And even though their ignorance caused her death he still persists with his conspiracy theories.

He was my doctor since 1995. But I had to switch. I can't understand the insanity of doctors refusing to accept science, preferring conspiracy theories. Even when they die, or their relatives die. Half the country has gone mad.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that my doctor attended that conference.

[IronLionZion]

85. They are achieving natural immunity the old fashioned way

just like Dr. Rand Paul

[BobTheSubgenius]

86. "I have never felt healthier in my life."

"Time to change that."

[Pepsidog]

88. Hoping they have a painful Thanksgiving.

[Martin Eden]

89. They conducted a medical experiment

With fools for guinea pigs.

[Paladin]

94. None of these doctors should receive hospital care. (nt)

[ffr]

95. What? No matching Darwin award?

[dlk]

97. What medical school did they attend?

They should have known better.
