Alex, great work. The Biden Czars have been illegally targeting and intimidating people day 1. I believe this will be the beginning of more legal (maybe even personal threats) intimidation and threats by Slavitt and their minions, but you have the law, justice, and righteousness on your side, plus a lot of supporters who will back you up. Keep up the good fight as you are a defender of many, many, many Americans. Thank You!
It’s a baseless argument from authority and more especially in this case.
An MBA doesn’t make anyone an “expert” in medicine. It doesn’t even make them competent at basic business tasks. Look at the trail of financial wrecks left behind by HAHvard MBAs….
As I sit here with my afternoon cup of tea, I laughed and laughed. I’m lovin’ this….. I pay for your substack so I don’t miss a word. Go get him, dude!
When you are doing your discovery, can you have your Lawyers ask Andy Levitt the following:
"MR LEVITT - WHY ARE YOU LISTING YOUR "MBA" as a "Credential" in a "Medical Journal"?
And then please ask JAMA's lawyers the following:
"Mr/Ms JAMA LAWYER: Why is an MBA with no medical status other than taking Tylenol when he has a fever, publishing in JAMA?"
I do have an MBA, I am married to a classmate, and in the history of MBAdom, I have never seen this. It's almost like the "medical community" values profits over outcomes??
Unleash the dogs of war Alex! don't hold nothing back, make these bastards pay. God-bless you Keep up the good work . I am so glad I donated to your fund and I will happily do it again just let us know what you need.
This shows why we must enact a national Affordable Legal Defense Act (ALDA) to control lawyers' fees and subsidize those who can't afford a lawyer in their time of need.
National legal insurance, price controls on lawyers... wonder how many lawyers who demanded Obamacare would support this? 😁
Prepaid legal services should absolutely be more of a thing. They are not a bad idea. Forcing the most limousine-liberal constituency in the country to accept government-priced prepaid legal services by law doesn't sound half bad either, for different reasons. Win-win I say.
Legal insurance could become a business opportunity for insurance companies as the government shoulders them off the health sector.
In terms of government-paid legal insurance, though, I'd suggest it as a required addition to health insurance. That is, government health insurance only if accompanied by government legal insurance, with the same sorts of controls and limits. After all, like health care, it's something that you need partially as a result of circumstances and partially as a result of your own behavior, so the model already exists. Then we'd see how many lawyers in Congress actually believe in the principles they loudly proclaim...
The price of legal services is set by the market. If it were the same for health care, we would get better care for less money. To paraphrase Matt Taibbi, 'Obamacare was a blowjob for the insurance industry'.
You must be a doctor because who else would know that the medical profession is ALWAYS singled out for punitive actions. Certainly would neer dare try that on lawyers! I'm old enough to remember in 1974 or so, Nixon put price controls on everyone but when they were rolled back he kept them on doctors for another few years. Only group in America that could not raise their fees as their costs went up. I guess they figured all doctors were rich.
Whoa! As a retired paralegal, I’m so glad I switched to working in corporate legal departments. Attorneys who charge exorbitant hourly fees like that are just thieves.
Reading about him on Wikipedia. Dad was a lawyer. Mom never mentioned. Hmmm. It is interesting how so many without any formal education in medicine have key positions regarding healthcare in this country. See Bill Gates. However joining these pretend doctors many actual medical doctors sure got much about Covid wrong as well. Anybody watch Lenox Hill? My take from that show is that making a profit is top priority. Covid sure was a bonanza. Having spent too much time in hospitals myself, it is quite obvious how poorly run they are. Understaffed. Wasteful. Pretty much close up shop at 3pm. Ghost city. I am digressing.
Alex, go get him. If the man doesn’t even know his e-mail address is public knowledge he needs to be sued just for stupidity.
I always am bothered by the narcissism of putting “M.B.A.” in your bio. I have an MBA from a top 20 business school, and have never put it anywhere except at the bottom of my resume above my bachelors degree. Do people put “BA” or “BS”? What’s the big deal with an MBA as if every worthless “consulting firm” PowerPoint slide peddler doesn’t also have one. Never hire someone with an MBA that puts it after a comma following their name. Same with “Esq” what the hell does it even mean?
There is no limit to the number of idiots in the world. I started laughing when I got to the part where his email address is publicly available , I am no lawyer (thank God) but even I know that makes their complaint moot. Law firms normally take action not issue threats so as my favorite author say "Tis much ado about nothing" Go gettem Alex
I had a reporter assigned to cover the local school board. He was rapturous about the superintendent's Ed.D. The reporter insisted on referring to this overpaid bureaucrat as "Dr. XXXX."
I finally got a copy of "Dr. XXXX"'s dissertation from the nearby diploma mill (aka community college), and edited the first 10 pages. It was a travesty. THAT exercise finally disabused the reporter of his belief this fool was "educated."
"Kari V. Vienola, Denise Valente, Robert J. Zawadzki, and Ravi S. Jonnal, "Velocity-based optoretinography for clinical applications," Optica 9, 1100-1108 (2022)". The work is of importance. We assume competence in technical journals. But, then again, we aren't captured by an industry either..
This is a “libs of TikTok” moment. How dare you expose information that is publicly available!!!
100% seems to be a theme

Anyone with just an MBA that uses it after his name in a similar fashion to a Ph.D. is surely a narcissist at minimum.
It’s a baseless argument from authority and more especially in this case.
An MBA doesn’t make anyone an “expert” in medicine. It doesn’t even make them competent at basic business tasks. Look at the trail of financial wrecks left behind by HAHvard MBAs….
Heh. Would that be a "low energy" narcissist? Like "middle management."
I would presume insecurity and lack of aptitude instead of narcissism, just like I normally do with those who stick a "Ph.D" after their name.
Go get him, Alex
Ayn Rand and John Galt are my heroes! Along with Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump...
Don’t forget Hank Reardon and Dagny Taggart!
As I sit here with my afternoon cup of tea, I laughed and laughed. I’m lovin’ this….. I pay for your substack so I don’t miss a word. Go get him, dude!
This is why I just joined... you made me laugh! All in...👍

As they say -- I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV. 😃
More seriously, I'm married to the only doctor from a family full of lawyers...
Back when $1800 could buy you more than a full tank of gas.. I’m guessing
Whoa! As a retired paralegal, I’m so glad I switched to working in corporate legal departments. Attorneys who charge exorbitant hourly fees like that are just thieves.
Wow
That’s nothing Brooks & Dunn cost about $100,000 for two hours

If stupidity was legally actionable...
Slavitt, a regular contributor to JAMA, where their most read recent articles are about censoring online “misinformation”? What a coincidence!

I could see listing it on your resume with the comma. I cant see putting it on a linked in bio.
Could you please edit “Dr” Jill Biden’s dissertation and post the PDF? then link it to reporters spouting that crap?

Hey! That's just like "Dr. Jill" Biden!
Anyone who demands to be called “Dr.” And they aren’t the kind who saves lives with medicine is a pompous ass.
In most of my journals, the degree is omitted:
"Kari V. Vienola, Denise Valente, Robert J. Zawadzki, and Ravi S. Jonnal, "Velocity-based optoretinography for clinical applications," Optica 9, 1100-1108 (2022)". The work is of importance. We assume competence in technical journals. But, then again, we aren't captured by an industry either..
Authors qualoifications are referenced in Orcid, if it matters. Vienola (https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3390-392X),
Anyone who puts, First Last, MBA is a tool.
Go after him, Alex. What a bunch of BS in that letter. Yeah, really scary! 😂
Using a personal email address while carrying out WH requests isn’t personal. Andy gonna find out the public & expensive way and I’m here for it🍿
I don't think he's getting much value out of that hourly fee he's paying his legal team!
SOW is the most important thing one can do when seeking counsel. Second "managing" them.
