Dr. Jesse M. Ehrenfeld believes vaccine orthodoxy must be preserved at all costs.
Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld was inaugurated president of the American Medical Association in 2023. He and his colleague—Dr. Benjamin Hoffman, an Oregon-based pediatrician—just wrote a very foolish editorial in MEDPAGE TODAY titled: Medical Misinfo Runs Rampant Online. The Gov’t Must Retain the Right to Intervene.—Combating vaccine falsehoods and other inaccurate claims protects public health
According to Dr. Ehrenfeld’s bio that is posted on the AMA website, he has a distinguished career in anesthesiology. His bio also states:
Upon his inauguration, Dr. Ehrenfeld made AMA history as the first openly gay president of the organization. For the past two decades, he has been a nationally recognized advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals. In 2018, in recognition of his outstanding research contributions, he received the inaugural Sexual and Gender Minority Research Investigator Award from the director of the NIH.
I’m immediately struck by the combination of anesthesiologist and gay rights activist, as both endeavors have been matters of great controversy since the mid 19th century.
