"Allison Neitzel rocketed to national fame on CNN after graduating from the Medical College of Wisconsin and
posting a letter on social media that accused Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers of spreading COVID misinformation. Rodgers said he was allergic to one of the vaccine ingredients and didn't need to be vaccinated because he had already been sick with COVID, however, this was almost a year before the
CDC stated that prior infection was no different than being vaccinated.
Despite spreading false information about Rodgers, Neitzel's letter and purported medical bona fides proved catnip to reporters at MedPage Today, Mother Jones, and NBC, who quoted her as a physician exposing medical misinformation. Columns Neitzel has written for websites WhoWhatWhy and Science-Based Medicine also claim she is a physician focusing on disinformation.
And this is where the circus fun begins, because famed medical misinformation expert Allison Neitzel is not now, nor has she ever been, a physician.
Allison Neitzel did not respond to multiple requests for comment to explain.
I began unraveling Allson Neitzel's COVID circus act shortly after she posted the apology to her website with the ironic name "
MisinformationKills" and pinned it to the top of her
@AliNeitzelMD X account.
Neitzel's apology details a long list of false statements she made against multiple physicians accusing them of a fraud and grift, along with weasel words that make clear this is a non-apology apology, in the vein of "I am sorry if you feel bad."
"I regret if anyone understood the statements as accusations that any of them had engaged in fraudulent professional or business practices," Neitzel writes.
You can read her apology below, but the depth and particulars of Neitzel's defamation of real medical experts is impossible to know because she has deleted many of her posts on social media and on MisinformationKills."
