TikTok Doctor Expertly Tears Apart Rightwing Pundit's COVID Lies in Brutal Takedown Video

Since the early days of the pandemic that's killed more than 750 thousand Americans and completely upended daily life in the United States for nearly two years, the Republican party has dismissed its severity, downplayed the need for vaccines, and promoted conspiracy theories about the virus and potential treatments.

Even as lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines offered a pathway out of the variant, conservatives across the country claimed the vaccines were a method of government control, that they were magnetized or the biblical "mark of the beast."


Medical experts have worked hard to combat this rampant disinformation, and one doctor—known on TikTok as dr.eric.b—is going viral for doing just that.

Watch below.

Dr. B's target was a video of conservative group Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, in which Kirk made a series of completely false claims he suggested indicated an ineffectiveness in the vaccines. Kirk falsely claimed that Vermont, the most vaccinated state in the Union, had the highest per capita rate of COVID transmission. He said the same of Israel, a heavily vaccinated country.

After Kirk promoted Ivermectin, a medication embraced by conservatives despite showing no effectiveness in fighting COVID, a visibly Dr. B said:

"Y'all must get the same newsletter because everything you say is just the same regurgitated nonsense we've been hearing for the past few months. If y'all had an original thought in your head, you'd be dangerous."

He went on to conclude:

"There was not one thing in that three minutes of incoherent rambling that even resembled a rational thought. Like, please. Do better. Wow."

People shared the doctor's frustration.





They celebrated the doctor's debunking.




Sadly, Kirk continues to spread disinformation like this.

Dem Senator Has Dire Warning About 'Democracy' After Trump Officials Defy Courts

While a civics refresher should be unnecessary for anyone serving in the federal government, members of the Trump administration and their allies seem to be sorely lacking in basic knowledge about the powers and limits of each of the three branches: the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial.

The sitting Vice President, cabinet members and nominees, and Republican politicians all seem to think the Executive branch—namely, the administration of Republican President Donald Trump—is exempt from any of the constitutionally mandated checks and balances and is limitless in its power.
