[MCN] ACEP-AAEM Joint Statement on Physician Misinformation

ACEP-AAEM Joint Statement on Physician Misinformation

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and the American
Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) jointly and emphatically condemn the
recent opinions released by Dr. Daniel Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi.
These reckless and untested musings do not speak for medical societies and
are inconsistent with current science and epidemiology regarding COVID-19.
As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals
are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal
financial interests without regard for the public’s health.

COVID-19 misinformation is widespread and dangerous. Members of ACEP and
AAEM are first-hand witnesses to the human toll that COVID-19 is taking on
our communities. ACEP and AAEM strongly advise against using any statements
of Drs. Erickson and Massihi as a basis for policy and decision making.
