Seneca and Epictetus refer to the Golden Verses of Pythagoras , which happens to provide a good framework for developing a daily routine, bookended by morning and evening contemplative practices. Zeno of Citium , who founded Stoicism in 301 BC, expressed his doctrines in notoriously terse arguments and concise maxims. However, Chrysippus, the third head of the Stoic school, wrote over 700 books fleshing these ideas out and adding complex arguments to support them.
Anti-vaccine cardiologist was sued, and now risks loss of board certification. Baylor Scott & White Health is seeking $1 million in a lawsuit filed in July against Peter A. McCullough, M.D., MPHfor allegedly spreading COVID-19 misinformation under the Baylor name in media interviews. The lawsuit alleges that, since leaving Baylor, he “has conducted dozens, if not hundreds, of interviews in print and video appearances” while appearing to hold titles related to Baylor. In February, McCullough left his position as vice chief of internal medicine for cardiovascular disease at Baylor University Medical Center and agreed “not to state that he is employed by or affiliated” with the health system. [Osborne R. Lawsuit: Former Baylor Scott & White doctor used Baylor title while spreading COVID-19 misinformation. WFAA News, Aug 26, 2021] A District Court has granted a temporary restraining order prohibiting any affiliation with the plaintiffs.
He is no longer affiliated with the Texas A&M College of Medicine or the TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was a professor of medicine. [Ault A. Baylor gets restraining order against COVID vaccine skeptic doc. Medscape, Sept 16, 2021]
McCullough continues to spread COVID-19 misinformation. At a recent community-center event, he shared what he said was “a threatening letter from the American Board of Internal Medicine warning that he could lose his certification for spreading misinformation.” [Riley S.

Peter MCCullough puts out this paper. It says that the vaccine causes heart problems.Basically he's trying to publish a paper which kinda says what he says in these interviews -- since no one else will say it for him.
Peer Review: This paper is in response. A peer review of a large number of peers working on the same review. Note the extensive use of references and referral to other papers, citations, which back up the data and studies which were used to come up with this response. Also note the level of professionalism and zero personal attacks. Note how many people are involved.
But behind this is a huge wave of publications which are going to show up in searches but they aren't actually papers. They are "letters to the editor" which are enough to clog up search terms but not 'actionable'. So, when I wake up I'm going to try to avoid this as much as possible because I do have some deadlines.
