I get tired of this nonsense. Having worked with NPs all my career, I view propaganda like this as nothing more than turf protection, plain and simple. I often wonder why doctors like Dr. Elle don't spend nearly as much time and effort opposing naturopathic licensing bills. 1/https://twitter.com/McknightmdEllen/status/1104361877583417345 …

I had to put up with the same BS in Michigan from the
@MichStateMedSoc five years ago when a similar bill was being considered in Michigan. MSMS ran trucks with billboards by the state capital and lobbied legislators heavily, urging it's members to call/write our legislators. 3/Show this thread -
When various naturopathic licensing bills or other bills to license quackery have come up since then...crickets. No email bursts from
@MichStateMedSoc to its members. No lobbying legislators. I don't even recall whether MSMS even testified when the bills were in committee. 4/Show this thread -
Anyway,
@MichStateMedSoc's activity then inspired me to write this, and the reappearance of the same turf protection tropes today inspired me to repost it. It's sad to see that little or nothing has changed in five years. 5/5https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/expanding-the-scope-of-practice-of-advanced-practice-nurses-does-not-endanger-patients/ …Show this thread

Oh, and AAPS is not anti-vaccine—they are wary of government mandates. They question forcing newborns to get a Hep B vaccine before leaving the hospital. Evaluate each vaccine on its own. AAPS has been fighting for the private patient-physician relationship since 1943–love DPC.

Oh, please.
It's utter bullshit to claim that @AAPSonline is not antivaccine. I've deconstructed more bogus antivax papers in JPANDS than I can remember.

This is an underhanded, weak way to make an argument. You find an individual who's tied to a group which you claim has a unrelated, non-scientific views who also disagrees with you on this issue. That's not an argument. Shame.
