No. It was not. This bit of disinformation being spread by Dr. Dyer is based on a mistranslation (or, if you're feeling VERY generous, and incredibly loose translation) of the German word "behandler."https://twitter.com/BrandonADyer/status/1293569648466698240 …

Here's someone who schooled doctors trying to use this mistranslation to make the same incorrect claim.https://twitter.com/Desrobertl/status/1188812741508775936?s=20 …

Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All @Stormageddon666Replying to @gorskonYes, quite freely indeed. There's several equally plausible translations for "Behandler". "treater", "curer", "attender"... all at the very least not WRONG. Also, you'd need throw any remnants of context into the dumpster to get to this absurd nazi analogy.1 reply 0 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -

I agree that words matter, but not in the way @BrandonADyer thinks they do. It's he who is abusing language and repeating a misrepresentation of etymology to whine about being called a "provider."
