ABIM: “Follow the consensus, not the science. Saving lives is not a priority.”

That’s the message ABIM is sending to physicians by revoking the board certifications of Doctors Marik and Kory. “Follow the consensus, not the science.” It’s about compliance, not saving lives.




Today, the Washington Post gleefully reported the revocation by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) of the certifications of Paul Marik and Pierre Kory.


The message they are sending is clear: “All physicians must toe the line. If you disagree with the medical consensus, we will make it impossible for you to practice medicine for the rest of your life. We just don’t give a damn what the scientific evidence is or how many lives you save.”

In this article, I’ll go through the evidence and the mortality stats.







Paul Marik - ISOM

This is Paul Marik. He’s arguably the most published intensivist in the world. And on top of that, he’s one hell of a nice guy.


It’s simple. Kory and Marik said publicly ivermectin works to treat COVID.


The ABIM thought this was misinformation so revoked their certifications. This means they can’t practice in any hospital or academic setting.







Dr. Pierre Kory. Kory is the world’s #1 advocate for ivermectin. For that, he had his ABIM board certification revoked. That’s ridiculous when there are two systematic review/meta-analysis papers in peer-reviewed journals saying it works.









Evidence based medicine pyramid. Note the top of the pyramid. That’s where ivermectin is.


The highest standard of evidence based medicine (EBM) is the meta-analysis and systematic review published in a peer reviewed journal. It doesn’t get any better than that.


So what does EBM say about Ivermectin? At least two of them say it works:



There are others that say it doesn’t work, but no physician should lose their license if there are one or more systematic reviews/meta-analysis supporting their recommendation. That would be unethical of course. It would be anti-science.


But that is what ABIM did.


Basically, they are sending the message that what you have to follow is the medical consensus as dictated by the FDA and CDC. Nothing else matters. If you go against the FDA and CDC, you lose your license. It’s that simple. Do not challenge authority.



But here’s the best source of all. All the studies on ivermectin can be viewed on the c19early.org site.


As you can see, of all the studies available, ivermectin comes in as the 2nd most effective treatment for all the published studies.


The treatment advocated by the FDA comes in at #18.


So if you prescribe something that is less likely to work but the FDA likes, you keep your license. If you prescribe something with the most compelling evidence, you lose your license. That’s what the ABIM wants physicians to know.
