Oh this is a gem. Our resident clown is infamous for sharing fact checks and promoting posts as disinformation. This woman (and so many like her) are the sources the zealot adheres to. This woman impeded science by spreading her own disinformation, and may have cost lives. It's long, but worth the read. Yet another reason why the MSM cannot be trusted.
Medical clown for âdisinformation reportersâ Brandzy Zadrozny at NBC and Kiera Butler at Mother Jones crashes her own disinformation circus.
Promoted to national prominence by a coterie of reporters tackling pandemic misinformation, physician Allison Neitzel took a hard fall last week when she was forced to atone for promoting misinformation and defaming medical expertsâby posting an apology on her website, and pinning the same to the top of her social media X account. But unless you hang on every word of Democratic Party aligned reporters with a knack for labeling everyone they donât like a âconspiracy theorist,â you likely donât know physician Allison Neitzel.
If you havenât heard of her, you should know her name and story.
Allison Neitzelâs story encapsulates everything that went wrong during COVID when self-defined âdisinformation reportersâ glommed onto anyone they tripped over on social media as an âexpertâ they could deploy to castigate those refusing to bend the knee to Big Pharma.
âI know of Allison because of the way she has targeted me,â says Tracey Beth Høeg, a physician researcher and associate professor of clinical research at the university of Southern Denmark. Neitzel has deleted many of her social media posts denigrating Hoeg, including one in which she labeled her âHoeg hag.â
âThe fact she has not nearly completed her training but has appointed herself as an expert physician in pointing out misinformation strikes me as both odd and ironic,â Hoeg continued. âFor example, as you can see, she is really attacking
me rather than anything substantive about what I have done or said.â
Allison Neitzel rocketed to national fame on CNN after graduating from the Medical College of Wisconsin and
posting a letter on social media that accused Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers of spreading COVID misinformation. Rodgers said he was allergic to one of the vaccine ingredients and didnât need to be vaccinated because he had already been sick with COVID, however, this was almost a year before the
CDC stated that prior infection was no different than being vaccinated.
Despite spreading false information about Rodgers, Neitzelâs letter and purported medical bona fides proved catnip to reporters at MedPage Today, Mother Jones, and NBC, who quoted her as a physician exposing medical misinformation. Columns Neitzel has written for websites WhoWhatWhy and Science-Based Medicine also claim she is a physician focusing on disinformation.
And this is where the circus fun begins, because famed medical misinformation expert Allison Neitzel is not now, nor has she ever been, a physician.
Allison Neitzel did not respond to multiple requests for comment to explain.
COVID clown show
I began unraveling Allson Neitzelâs COVID circus act shortly after she posted the apology to her website with the ironic name â
MisinformationKillsâ and pinned it to the top of her
@AliNeitzelMD X account.
Neitzelâs apology details a long list of false statements she made against multiple physicians accusing them of a fraud and grift, along with weasel words that make clear this is a non-apology apology, in the vein of âI am sorry if you feel bad.â
âI regret if anyone understood the statements as accusations that any of them had engaged in fraudulent professional or business practices,â Neitzel writes.
You can read her apology below, but the depth and particulars of Neitzelâs defamation of real medical experts is impossible to know because she has deleted many of her posts on social media and on MisinformationKills.
But particulars donât matter.
Neitzel is one in a legion of medical clowns the media launched into prominence during the pandemic because they served as useful idiots for âdisinformation journalistsâ needing a quotable âexpertâ to bash people who dared question conventional COVID wisdom, or who charged that the government made phony claims about a lab accident in Wuhan, overstated the efficacy of masks and lockdowns, or lied about the safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines.
What makes Allison Neitzel unique from the COVID clown posse is that she was forced to retract and apologize for her lies and fake claims.
Interested, I dug into her background and discovered that all the outlets claiming Neitzel was a physician hadnât bothered to do a modicum of due diligence before platforming her, because guess what? Allison Neitzel isnât a physician.
The law according to Tim! No it did not.
