Back in May, only two months into the long, national nightmare deBoisblanc\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ca-doctors-say-seen-suicide-deaths-covid-deaths-lockdown\/\">made headlines<\/a>\u00a0by pointing out that doctors at his hospital were seeing more deaths by suicides than the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>That, he told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktvu.com\/news\/east-bay-doctor-removed-from-position-after-questioning-stay-at-home-orders\">KGO-TV<\/a>\u00a0at the time, meant the cure was worse than the disease.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, deBoisblanc was chief of the Trauma Department at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area\u2019s Contra Costa County.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a position deBoisblanc no longer holds after his latest public questioning of coronavirus conventional wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/health\/california-doctor-fired-questioning-coronavirus-lockdowns\">Fox News<\/a>\u00a0reported last week, deBoisblanc and two other doctors wrote a letter to the Contra Costa County Health Department questioning the county\u2019s lockdown measures \u2014 including keeping schools closed \u2014 when the evidence doesn\u2019t support them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the data that I am aware of, looking at children and the virus, shows that it\u2019s safe\u201d to reopen schools, DeBloisblanc told Fox News\u2019 Sandra Smith on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many other states now that have months of track records showing that it\u2019s safe for their kids to go back to school. And the state of California and the county is just not making that possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out his interview here. It\u2019s a little over six minutes long, but it\u2019s worth the time:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cb2lM8SGR1o\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p>The careful viewer will note that there\u2019s no tinfoil hat on deBloisbanc\u2019s head. No froth is coming from his mouth and his eyes are steady and unclouded.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that, until mid-December, he was regarded with enough esteem that he was not only employed by a top hospital\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnmuirhealth.com\/\">that bills itself<\/a>\u00a0as one of the best in the nation\u2019s most populated state, but was also the top physician in its trauma department, it\u2019s pretty clear that deBoisblanc is not a raving lunatic.<\/p>\n<p>Do liberals care more about power than scientific truth?<\/p>\n<p>100% (2 Votes)<\/p>\n<p>0% (0 Votes)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also clear he has no qualms about questioning authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe science is clear that more lockdowns lead to much more non COVID morbidity and mortality,\u201d deBoisblanc and his two colleagues wrote in their letter, according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktvu.com\/news\/east-bay-doctor-removed-from-position-after-questioning-stay-at-home-orders\">KVTU-TV<\/a>\u00a0in Oakland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublic policy is being based on erroneous assumptions \u2026 \u201c<\/p>\n<p>For liberal policymakers, that kind of questioning apparently can\u2019t be permitted.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to KVTU, John Muir officials didn\u2019t give a reason deBoisblanc\u2019s services were terminated, saying only that \u201cthe doctor is employed through an outside contract \u2026 and after careful consideration, John Muir Health is not continuing with Dr. deBoisblanc in that position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, that settles things, then.<\/p>\n<p>Except it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>In the coronavirus world, where so little can be taken on faith, about the only thing Americans can be certain of is that anyone who questions the decisions of those in authority can expect to be punished.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gym-owner-lion-not-sheep-cap-dares-governor-take-racks-100k-likes\/\">New Jersey gym owners<\/a>\u00a0who refuse to buckle under to a Democratic governor or a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/san-francisco-salon-goes-business-dust-nancy-pelosi\/\">hair salon owner<\/a>\u00a0in San Francisco who leaked video of an unmasked, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi getting her hair done when salons were not permitted to open, or a respected trauma physician like deBoisblanc, liberals are determined to silence the opposition.<\/p>\n<p>One real irony here is that it was only in October that even the World Health Organization, one of those\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-announces-final-decision-world-health-organization\/\">inherently corrupt<\/a>\u00a0United National agencies American liberals usually worship, questioned the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/reverses-course-says-lockdowns-damaging-shouldnt-primary-covid-response\/\">effectiveness of lockdowns<\/a>\u00a0compared to their considerable costs \u2014 financial and physical.<\/p>\n<p>And it isn\u2019t just the coronavirus, of course. For liberals, all science is \u201csettled\u201d when they can blast some phony consensus agreeing on issues from \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/university-study-climate-change-science-fails-factor-cloud-cover-models\/\">climate change<\/a>\u201d \u2014 its causes, its effects and what\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/study-green-new-deal-cost-avg-household-74k-first-year-alone\/\">draconian measures<\/a>\u00a0should be implemented because of it \u2014 to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/schumer-backs-sickening-biden-plan-transgender-students-locker-rooms\/\">transgender<\/a>\u201d athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Once that is accomplished, all that remains is to force the rest of the world into compliance or \u2013 at the very least \u2013 silence.<\/p>\n<p>The letter from deBoisblanc and his colleagues indicated they would not be silent on coronavirus lockdowns and the doctor was found to no longer be needed in a high-profile job in his profession \u2014 after \u201ccareful consideration,\u201d of course.<\/p>\n<p>The problem for liberals is that \u201cscience\u201d is not an endeavor at seeking consensus, the pre-Galileo scientific world was pretty much in consensus that the earth was the center of the universe.<\/p>\n<p>The consensus didn\u2019t like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/inventions\/galileo-galilei\">Galileo<\/a>\u00a0much, either.<\/p>\n<p>By nature, it\u2019s an endeavor of inquiry, where questions keep getting asked as matter of progress toward truth.<\/p>\n<p>Unless liberals can settle the science their own satisfaction, when they choose and how they choose \u2014 with a \u201ctruth\u201d of their choosing, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.com\/dark-age-of-science-top-doctor-booted-from-position-after-questioning-lockdowns\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Michael deBoisblanc says the lockdowns do more harm than good but when he questioned the value of lockdowns has was fired<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":223922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,105],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-223920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-Commentary","category-coronavirus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=223920"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":223921,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223920\/revisions\/223921"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/223922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=223920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=223920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=223920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
