      So why is an antivaxer like Dr. Jay Gordon still allowed to be a member of @AmerAcadPeds? I'll ask the same question about antivax pediatricians like Dr. Bob Sears and Dr. Larry Palevsky. Why are they still members of the AAP? Why haven't they been kicked out?https://twitter.com/AAPPres/status/1192926037757181952 …

      Last week, @RealTimers with @billmaher included disproved theories and unfounded fears about vaccines. There is too much at stake right now not to speak out when people in positions of power and influence spread misinformation. My take: http://ow.ly/VpbU50x6iLm  pic.twitter.com/XyogSiFkj7

      Sears and Palevsky aren’t on the AAP member directory. There are ongoing discussions about how to handle other cases like the third one you mentioned @kidoctr @SBMPediatrics @AAPDelMonte @HelHathNoFury

      I can’t speak to enforcement of AAP membership standards, but I tried to add on a Council membership last week & this came up, which is the first time I can recall seeing anything from the AAP about suspension or revocation. I suspect though that passed Boards & paid fees=memberpic.twitter.com/3BxRxWt7zO

      That's super interesting Nusheen. Per AAP policy and procedures manual, the Board has discretion in addressing member conduct including "suspend, or otherwise restrict the membership of any AAP member". It's kinda vague. I'll email you something @DrJenChen4kids & I worked on.

      And I find @AAPPres statement to be particularly relevant: "There is too much at stake right now not to speak out when people in positions of power and influence spread misinformation...."

      Disingenuous. The word you’re looking for is disingenuous.🤓

      Well I wouldn’t use disingenuous - I know Kyle and he’s very sincere. I know that it’s hard for AAP leadership to be the “bad guy”, so to speak, wrt to a member. And we really don’t want Gordon et al to be hailed as martyrs.

      I would. It’s not as though this issue hasn’t been bright up many years before.

      As for antivax pediatricians proclaiming themselves as victims? Let them! They’ll do that anyway. Who cares?

      There’s no great answer here. I’d like to see #antivaxxers like Gordon be censured by the AAP. At the very least. We’re great at being aggressive in promoting childrens’ health and wellbeing but we kinda suck at being aggressive against each other. Lol.
