As COVID-19 and the Delta variant spread throughout the country, hospitalizing and killing countless vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans, we continue to battle irresponsible disinformation – some of it right here in our own backyard.
The Port Washington Schools’ Continuing Education leaders have added a new course for the fall that gives voice to a local physician who claims to offer nutritional cures and preventive measures for COVID-19. How incredibly irresponsible to give someone that platform and legitimacy.
Doesn’t the new leadership of the school board owe us more than shams and scams?
Vaccinations, masking and distancing remain our best defense, along with other approved therapies – not the garbage the doctor (I won’t give him a platform by mentioning his name, but he’s a psychiatrist dabbling in the pandemic realm) is peddling.
And if COVID ‘cures’ aren’t enough, he’s also leading a course offering false hope to relieve dementia.
Time for the Board of Education to show some leadership and cancel this unproven quackery.
