Let’s Play - Medical Doctor or Noctor Giving Advice About Vaccines?
The Real Truth about Vaccines
Would you like to play a game? For a change of pace, let’s play a little guessing game. Can you figure out if these folks who present themselves as a doctor and are giving medical advice about vaccines are a medical doctor or a noctor?
Wait, what’s a noctor?
It’s someone who is not a medical doctor. A not-a-doctor!
Let’s Play - Medical Doctor or Noctor Giving Advice About Vaccines?
We will start with an easy one…
MD Reports?
Now that has to be put out by a medical doctor, right?
Nope.
The MD comes from her initials, Maryanne Demasi, not because she is a medical doctor. Her claim to fame? She used to work with Peter Gøtzsche!
How about Dr. Margaret Aranda of the Dr. Margaret Show?
Dr. Margaret Aranda actually is a medical doctor, an anesthesiologist, but lost her medical license in 2023. She surrendered her license over an investigation about inappropriate dispensing of ketamine, fentanyl, and hydromorphone to patients and grossly negligent care. Losing her license had nothing to do with prescribing ivermectin for COVID patients or writing medical exemptions for COVID vaccines, as she often claims…
Did you get that one right?
What about Dr. Dawn Michael?
Is she a medical doctor?
Nope!
‘Dr.’ Dawn Michael has a PhD in Human Sexuality and is a certified clinical sexologist.
And yet, she spends most of her time talking about vaccines.
Dr. Jane Ruby also isn’t a medical doctor.
She is an anti-vaccine influencer who has a PhD in psychology and education. Dr. Jane Ruby believes that kids get 200 shots, compares vaccinating children to genocide, and that COVID vaccines made people magnetic and caused plane crashes…
And Dr. Ben Tapper?
Dr. Ben Tapper, part of the original disinformation dozen, is a chiropractor.
He is not a medical doctor.
Dr. Judy Wilyman is not even a chiropractor…
“The invasion of the McCafferys’ grief started the day before they buried their baby girl. Meryl Dorey, who heads up the Bangalow-based Australian Vaccination Network, rang the head of the North Coast Area Health Service, Paul Corben, to demand Dana McCaffery’s medical reports.
She wanted proof that Dana actually died of whooping cough.”
Grieving parents speak out against anti-vaccination extremists
She has a PhD in humanities.
What about Dr. Vicky Pebsworth?
She is not a medical doctor.
She has a PhD in public health and nursing and believes that her child’s 15-month-old vaccines made him autistic.
And Dr. Naomi Wolf?
Not a medical doctor.
She is a conspiracy theorist with a PhD in English literature.
Dr. Brian Hooker has a PhD in chemical engineering.
How about Dr. Stephanie Seneff?
Dr. Stephanie Seneff has a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. While impressive, that doesn’t give her any expertise to be talking about vaccines, does it?
So how did you do?
Did you guess that none of them were medical doctors?
Well, did you guess that one of them was a medical doctor without a medical license, but that the rest of them aren’t medical doctors?
And do you understand that you should ignore them all!

I always say that grifting grifters are gonna grift.
There are others who are MD but with grossly embellished CVs containing fabricated content. Exposing these quacks as the frauds they are is way overdue.
