thewayneFormer doctor Sherri Tenpenny in Ohio made headlines a couple of years ago when she claimed that vaccines contained metallic components and some more insanely more outrageous claims that some cities were liquefying corpses and pouring them into municipal water supplies. She's become quite famous in the Alex Jones crowd.
Her fame did not impress the Ohio State Medical Board who, after receiving over 350 complaints, suspended her medical license indefinitely. She refused interviews with investigators and requests to come in and speak with the board and explain her points. The Board said they had no choice, not that I blame them in the least. They are bound to investigate complaints, and when they receive so many, the accused doctor had better have a darn good explanation!
One response she sent to a state lawmaker who invited her to testify was "We’re on to something here… and the LOUDER they scream, the more they are trying to hide. I stand by everything I said today. I put out FACTS and HYPOTHESIS (points to ponder)."
Now that the head-shaking has subsided a bit, here's a portion of Wikipedia's entry defining the word Hypothesis: "A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories."
A proposed explanation, which would require statements of observation, etc. Not 'points to ponder'. That's nothing more than soundbites.
The final paragraph in the article, and what will probably be the final word in her career as a medical professional: "Tenpenny's license is now suspended, and the board issued her a civil fine of $3,000. To get her license back, she would have to reapply, pay the fine, comply with the investigation, and submit a written statement certifying compliance. If more than two years pass in the meantime, the board may also require her to provide additional evidence of "her fitness to resume practice."
