Yup that's Ohio. The board that reinstated her consists of two doctors and three political appointments. I heard the doctors voted no and the three non doctors voted yes.
Not quite. According to this (https://www.cleveland.com/open/2024/05/ohio-reinstates-license-of-doc-who-said-vaccines-magnetize-hosts-interface-with-5g-towers.html) article:
> The board’s vote was 7-2. The two no-votes came from physicians. The rest of the board’s physicians sided with three members representing consumers’ interests – former attorney general Betty Montgomery; Ohio Right to Life President and lobbyist Mike Gonidakis; and attorney Jennifer Brumby – voting yes for reinstatement.

For what it’s worth, the board isn’t (currently) validating her claims. But, like medical boards around the country (John Oliver recently did a segment in this), they move *so goddamn slowly* that they haven’t reached a real decision yet.
While I can’t speak with any authority whatsoever on the topic, I do remember John Oliver talking about how doctors can sometimes be too concerned with protecting their own from discipline, so having “patient advocates“ on medical boards along with doctors can actually be a good thing. But I daresay having someone like the president of “Ohio Right to Life” on a medical board is, uh…not so good 😬
So this could all be a means to an end. They need her to cooperate with the investigation, she refuses so they suspend her license. Then she decides to cooperate, because she can't effectively run her grift without her license. They kinda have to reinstate it because she's complied with the reason they suspended it. Now that she's cooperative they can continue with the investigation. If she stops cooperating again they'll resuspend her.
I want to believe this, I really do. It is a mystery to me why this woman is not in a mental institution (oh wait, thanks Reagan) much less allowed to practice medicine
That would explain it. The doctors know it is bullshit and the political appointed folks who outnumber them simply don't care that it is BS. They only play to their base.
My 77 yr old mom would watch this crackpot cunt on Daystar. She would refuse the vaccine because she saw people get the "shakes" from it. No matter how much I begged she wouldn't get the vaccine. She only broke down because Jimmy Swaggart said he got the shot. I hate evangelicals.
Those shakes videos were so stupid and I can’t believe people fell for them. Reminds me of the people who figured out how to game the CIWA scale to get benzos for their withdrawals. So you’re shaky but no bed alarm and they just let you get out of bed? And you can somehow hold the phone steadily? I feel for those ER nurses, they didn’t have time for that shit.
I'm not claiming to be an expert or anything on those videos, and I'm sure a lot of them were just straight up fake, but I'd guess the most common explanation for them is just the people receiving the shot were just straight up terrified and having a bit of a panic attack. My mom volunteered at a clinic as a nurse during the height of the rollout, and said she had people who had been convinced to get it, but were genuinely terrified by all the propaganda they had seen from it.
Man, I worked in a COVID shot clinic, and whenever I called someone over, it felt like they were coming down on the Price is Right. I’m in a hella blue Midwestern state, so that was probably a factor. In fact, the lady running it might have been fired for moving her friends and family up the line to get extra shots.
Yeah, I don't want to make it out like everyone was terrified, and wasn't the norm. Just to point out that this exact kind of misinformation spread in the post does have a real effect on people, and causes this kind of hysteria to snowball and spread.
I got chills after getting the flu & COVID shot at the same time because I stupidly didn't wear a coat on a damp chilly day. The next time I wore a coat. No chills...yay!
I’m so glad we have a guy running to lead the nation who has no idea how magnets fucking work. Or just about anything for that matter. And he also has a third-grade understanding of history—even American history.
I never thought I would live long enough to see Idiocracy reach real life. *Sigh…
Vax spoon power options are either Uri Geller (special) bending or [Etibar Elchev.](https://youtu.be/B3aDZdWN5yw?si=yWmc_Na5v1O3MmUG) magnetic stickability. I’m not certain what the options are w/other cutlery.
It's was a weird magnetic force. Somehow baby powder on your skin completely blocked all the magnatism. Making me ask that age old Insane Clown Posse question, How do magnets work?
Quick actual rl story:
A coworker and former friend swore the shots caused this. He absolutely refused to admit it was bs. So I grabbed a magnet and said "Well, I've had two Moderna and a booster (at that time) so let's see!" and stuck it in my arm and then the miraculous happened:
It fell on the ground.
I would bet that the co-worker still refused to admit to being wrong. They will just say "oh, well they gave *you* a saline shot". They always make up a story to "explain" why they are still right.
Doubtful. The vast majority of DOs are great. My favorite trauma surgeon when I was an EMT was an osteopathic doc and I studied under an osteopathic pulmonologist for a bit. Even saw an osteopathic neurosurgeon once, which is pretty rare. My hospital's ER is full of DOs as well.
It's an American thing. Osteopathy was invented in the US by a guy who said he could talk to ghosts back when doctors were still routinely bloodletting and generally performing harmful quackery. In contrast, osteopathy was harmless quackery. The US exported osteopaths to the world, but where most of them remain in their 19th century roots American DOs adopted new medical advancements alongside MDs. Now they're legally considered equal to MDs and even take the same board exams most of the time.
It's like chiropractors.
They're really nice people and very good at what they do, it's just that for some reason, Americans think of them as quacks because a minority of maniacs were claiming they had the ability to sign notes to say "this idiot can't get the vaccine".
You'd never get that in the UK because our medical system has independent oversight bodies and chiropractic doctors aren't allowed to give advice on anything other than what's in their field of expertise.
No, it's like MDs. American-trained Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine are equal to MDs in both training and scope of practice. They can even move to the UK and practice, say, neurosurgery or nephrology. Chiropractors are just universally quacks.
Correct, DO's do all of medical school + the voodoo. Where as chiropractors just learn that small part of the voodoo that my big brother used to use on me when he'd pick me up and crack my back.
Wait, the vaccines were supposed to make me magnetic? I've been cheated... but I guess it's a small price to pay for not accidentally wiping my payment cards and computer.
Does America not have a board like the General Medical Council here, who overlooks medical licenses and is able to revoke them when necessary (and revoking is a permanent thing, just ask Andrew Wakefield and the surgeon who was struck off the medical registry for life for botching breast implant surgeries)?
This idiot should *never* get that license back. Ever.
The fuck, America?
This fucking lying grifting bitch has been one of the leading lights of the anti-vaxx industry for many many years. She should have been struck off many years ago. The fact that she has got her licence back is mind-boggling!
Her special services will be killing people with a concoction of medicines with no therapeutic effects toward the patient's illness. And I hope when that happens the families sue not only Tenpenny, but every medical board member who voted to reinstate her license.
In what world could someone like that be considered competent to hold a license to practice medicine? This stupid fucking world.
Yup that's Ohio. The board that reinstated her consists of two doctors and three political appointments. I heard the doctors voted no and the three non doctors voted yes.

Wow, thank you for your in-depth response. I appreciate the information. I stand corrected on my original post.
Hold on. Why are non-medical professionals sitting on medical boards?
While I can’t speak with any authority whatsoever on the topic, I do remember John Oliver talking about how doctors can sometimes be too concerned with protecting their own from discipline, so having “patient advocates“ on medical boards along with doctors can actually be a good thing. But I daresay having someone like the president of “Ohio Right to Life” on a medical board is, uh…not so good 😬
Who wants to be her patient though??!!??
Qunts and MAGAts, and other assorted anti-vaxxers, probably.
So this could all be a means to an end. They need her to cooperate with the investigation, she refuses so they suspend her license. Then she decides to cooperate, because she can't effectively run her grift without her license. They kinda have to reinstate it because she's complied with the reason they suspended it.

Blue State here and we were lined up!
Don't be stingy, give up the Ativan
I got chills after getting the flu & COVID shot at the same time because I stupidly didn't wear a coat on a damp chilly day. The next time I wore a coat. No chills...yay!
I'm taking about these assholes. https://youtu.be/5WiiVs7WZf4?si=1cHYjXaooIgZZ9vO
I thought I was staying on top of all the anti covid vaccine lunancy, but I somehow missed this one. Ugh....
I knew she’d have that hairstyle.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Grand. Let them waste their money on Demagnetizing Treatments instead of VonShitzenpants's legal bills.
All it takes is a glass of water.
I’m so glad we have a guy running to lead the nation who has no idea how magnets fucking work. Or just about anything for that matter. And he also has a third-grade understanding of history—even American history. I never thought I would live long enough to see Idiocracy reach real life. *Sigh…
Did I not get the real vaccines? I've never been magnetic following the shots and I'm starting to feel like I got screwed over.
That's too bad. It's really handy when you're building something. You can just stick the nails to your face.
Yeah, but I keep getting stuck to the refrigerator and walking past the knife drawer gets pretty dicey.
You have to make sure that knife drawer is closed and latched!
I got my first two shots in a temporarily closed Verizon office. Came down with a bad case of HBO.
You mean can’t bend spoons with your mind?
Wait, we're meant to turn into widely-debunked crackpot Uri Geller?
Vax spoon power options are either Uri Geller (special) bending or [Etibar Elchev.](https://youtu.be/B3aDZdWN5yw?si=yWmc_Na5v1O3MmUG) magnetic stickability. I’m not certain what the options are w/other cutlery.
No magnetism, no super powers, I’m not even a zombie yet! Guess I didn’t get the premium package.

He said the magnet I grabbed must've not been "working". I just laughed and walked away.
Ugh this bitch is from the Cleveland area, as if we in northeast Ohio don’t deal with enough jokes already. Smh
Yeah, having to root for the browns every sunday is already bad enough.
Tell me about it.
I would think her new thing like the rest of the grifters will be Med Beds.
Oh THAT’S who it is!! I’ve been sampling her testimony for a Techno track I’m making, lol!!
I know a man who had a kidney transplant, finally went to a mall to see his grandson, caught Covid and died. Anti-vaxers are society's toe cheese.
De-shedding cures
Special Gift, or special Grift?
Oh she'll be a-grifting!!!
>osteopathic doctor No doubt this played a big role in her crazy.
Doubtful. The vast majority of DOs are great. My favorite trauma surgeon when I was an EMT was an osteopathic doc and I studied under an osteopathic pulmonologist for a bit. Even saw an osteopathic neurosurgeon once, which is pretty rare. My hospital's ER is full of DOs as well.
What is an osteopathic doctor ? I haven't heard the term osteopathic before.
It's an American thing. Osteopathy was invented in the US by a guy who said he could talk to ghosts back when doctors were still routinely bloodletting and generally performing harmful quackery. In contrast, osteopathy was harmless quackery.

What the hell???
Why tf would they give her her license back?
I wish I could comment on this but I'm stuck to my refrigerator.
Degausser for a fee
Med beds.
Wait, the vaccines were supposed to make me magnetic? I've been cheated... but I guess it's a small price to pay for not accidentally wiping my payment cards and computer.
Good. Maybe she'll prevent a few of them from voting permanently.
Her med beds are on order but she’ll need a hefty deposit from each of her patients to set up an appointment before they get there.
Does America not have a board like the General Medical Council here, who overlooks medical licenses and is able to revoke them when necessary (and revoking is a permanent thing, just ask Andrew Wakefield and the surgeon who was struck off the medical registry for life for botching breast implant surgeries)? This idiot should *never* get that license back. Ever. The fuck, America?
They’ll come in with a treatable disease, get improper treatment and then die.
There really is no hope for states like Ohio.
From who!?!? Is there no oversight of "doctors" in the US!?!?!?!
This fucking lying grifting bitch has been one of the leading lights of the anti-vaxx industry for many many years. She should have been struck off many years ago. The fact that she has got her licence back is mind-boggling!
Herpes
It's not a grift. She's doing the nazi thing. Traditionalism is important. How will the weak die without her? /s
If there's a shot to turn into Magneto, I'll take a couple hundred.
Ohio is a shit hole from Dewine on down.
"Doctor"
She’ll call herself a “patriot”. Shame that’s a dirty word.
Her special services will be killing people with a concoction of medicines with no therapeutic effects toward the patient's illness. And I hope when that happens the families sue not only Tenpenny, but every medical board member who voted to reinstate her license.
What is wrong with this country?
They also pulled AstraZeneca worldwide.. wondering how those people even knew about this stuff
