Dr. Meryl Nass was hailed a hero by veterans for helping them expose the connection between the militaryâs mandatory anthrax vaccine and the serious illnesses they were experiencing.
The 70-year old Maine internist has given Congressional testimonies in four states on vaccine efficacies, deciphered scientific studies for courts, and served as an international national consultant on biological warfare and pandemics for more than three decades.
Last month, the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine suspended Nassâs license and set a string of conditions for her to meet in order for her to get her license back, including undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, releasing a list of every patient she has seen in the past 6 months, and answering more than 25 questions about her medical beliefs, even asking her how she advertises her practices.
Nass, who has been in practice for 41 years, called her suspension âa tyrannical witch hunt.â
âThe whole purpose of suspending my license was to scare doctors around the country not to go against the governmentâs narrative that the COVID vaccine and mask mandates are good,â Nass told The Epoch Times.
Members of the state license board did not return numerous phone calls from The Epoch Times for comment about Nassâs case.
Nass joins doctors and physician assistants in at least 10 states including Kansas, Florida, Hawaii, Washington, Texas, and Arkansas who have had their license suspended or found themselves under investigation by their stateâs medical license board.
According to the stateâs complaint, the Maine boardâs harsh scrutiny of Nass stems specifically from three legal prescriptions she wrote for ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
The patients didnât complain about the prescription. All recovered from the virus. One complaint came from a Twitter user, another from a hospital doctor, and a third from a midwife associated with the same hospital. The midwife complained about Nassâs prescription of hydroxychloroquine to a pregnant woman.
The board also accused Nass of spreading âmisinformationâ about the pandemic by way of her personal blog, writing that she posed a âdanger to the public.â
Nass certainly does not hold back on her blog. In announcing she would livestream the CDCâs Feb. 4 ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunizations Practices) hearing, she wrote âthe same cast of characters who lie, cheat and befuddle us with the poorest quality federal science ever invented, will be back tomorrow. Donât miss their weasel words. Watch how they try to turn myocarditis into the mildest malady known to man.â
She added, âWatch how the CDC turns those who have taken the Oath of Hippocrates into robotic Hypocrites who merely want to transform your children into SpikeVax factories.â
According to documents obtained by The Epoch Times, the Maine board originally gave Nass until Feb. 1 to undergo its directive that she undergo a neuropsychological evaluation, which was to be conducted by a psychologist of the boardâs choice and paid for by Nass.
âFailure of Dr. Nass to undergo the evaluation as directed constitutes an admission of the allegations against her,â the board wrote in its order.
Nass told The Epoch Times that she has yet to undergo the ordered evaluation or complete any of the other conditions set by the Maine board.
She emphasized that prescribing Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine is not against the law, but the state said it is unethical.
In a joint statement issued last April, The Maine licensing board along with the state Board of Osteopathic Licensure warned that prescribing alternative drugs to prevent or treat COVID-19 âmay lead to stockpiling of medication, inappropriate use, and potential drug shortages for patients with a legitimate needâ for the medication. They drew the conclusion that âabsent acute or emergency circumstances,â prescribing the drugs âis considered unethical and unprofessional conductâ and that âit may also violate applicable Board rules.â
âThese are made up policies from nowhere,â Nass told The Epoch Times, âthey should be [a] wake up calls to Americansâfrom local towns to state boardsâthe government is using them to replace the law and the Constitution.â
Nass said she fears her days as a doctor in Maine are numbered and that she suspects the boardâs intentions may be to make sure she canât get a job as a doctor anywhere else.
Nass told the Epoch Times on Tuesday that she just learned the Maine licensing board has already submitted her name to National Practitioner Database, the Laurie-list version for discredited doctors.
Nass, however, is still a hero at least to some in the northern reaches of Maine where she ran her private practice.
Daniel Lorey, a recently retired hospital clinical social worker who worked closely for many years with Nass at MDI Hospital, recently wrote a letter to the editor published by the Bangor Daily News in which he called Nass an âimpeccable MDâ with clinical skills âsecond to none.â
Lorey said Nass prescribed him âlife-saving medicationâ to help him combat COVID-19 last October.
âI am quite convinced that her early interventions and timely prescriptions saved my life and limited my hospitalization to a brief two-hour emergency room visit,â Lorey wrote.
