Someone invited a right-wing “anti-woke” politician to speak at the American College of Emergency Physicians’ (ACEP) leadership meeting, no doubt to spout nonsense about DEI in medical schools as a dog whistle. If you think healthcare isn’t political, think again. This is a member of congress who has been against military personnel being vaccinated. Vaccines are standard in the military, and you would think that they would be concerned about having an army that’s done under by a virus. And if good people in healthcare don’t stand up and “get political” – they leave it to their highly political weirdo colleagues who are bought by corporations, corrupted by political influences, or actually just believe in fantastically bizarre conspiracy fictions.
