Dr. Mary Bowden files Defamation Lawsuit against Houston Methodist Hospital

What kind of "Science" are we supposed to trust while Houston Methodist hides their data?

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden completed her residency in Ear, Nose, and Throat medicine at Stanford University, ranked by US News a the #1 school in the United States for otolaryngology. She went on to found BreathMD in Houston, Texas in August 2019, located between Westheimer Plumbing and Hardware and Optimal Golf Performance at 3600 Kirby Drive. Dr. Bowden specializes in sleep medicine in addition to otolaryngology. She publishes her prices for medical services online.

Dr. Bowden's lawsuit is based on claims made by Houston Methodist Hospital (HMH) against her on November 12, 2021. Houston Methodist said Dr. Bowden used her reservations about COVID-19 vaccines were "political opinions." They said her opinions were "harmful to the community" and "do not reflect reliable medical evidence," and that she was "spreading dangerous misinformation which is not based in science."

The full statement of HMH in a series of five tweets is as follows:

Dr. Mary Bowden, who recently joined the medical staff at Houston Methodist Hospital, is using her social media accounts to express her personal and political opinions about the COVID-19 vaccine and treatments. (1/5). These opinions, which are harmful to the community, do not reflect reliable medical evidence or the values of Houston Methodist, where we have treated more than 25,000 COVID-19 inpatients, and where all our employees and physicians are vaccinated to protect our patients. (2/5). Despite what she has posted, Houston Methodist does not and will never deny care to a patient based on vaccination status.(3/5). Dr. Bowden, who has never admitted a patient at Houston Methodist Hospital, is spreading dangerous misinformation which is not based in science. (4/5). Furthermore, Dr. Bowden has told Houston Methodist that she is vaccinated, as required of all physicians who practice at Houston Methodist. (5/5)

Let's take a look at some of the "science" and "evidence" that HMH was likely aware of around the time of their November 2021 tweets. After this information, I’ll contrast this “science” and “evidence” with the results of Dr. Mary Bowden.

Paulina Firozi

On November 9, 2021, the Washington Post published an article written by Paulina Firozi titled "Unvaccinated Texans 40 times as likely to die of covid as those fully vaccinated in 2021, study says."

Firozi wrote:
A vast majority of Texans who have died of covid-19 since the beginning of the year were unvaccinated, according to a grim new Texas health department report released Monday. The report from the Texas Department of State Health Services examined data from Jan. 15 to Oct. 1 and found that unvaccinated people were much more likely to get infected and die of the coronavirus than those who got their shots.

The report referenced by Firozi from the Texas Department of State Health Services is no longer active, but their website today shows a statistic that "unvaccinated Texans" are "31x more likely to die of a COVID-19 associated illness."

On November 21, 2021, Doctor Rochelle Walensky, Director of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) said: "in our updated data, unvaccinated people are at 14 times greater risk of dying from COVID-19 than people who are vaccinated." The full transcript of the press briefing Dr. Walensky and Dr. Fauci is available at the White House website.

Now, the first question I think that Texans should be asking is why would unvaccinated Texans be dying at a rate of 40x higher than vaccinated, when the national average was only 14x?

There are a few possibilities. One is that the "vaccinated" were receiving much better care in Texas. Another is that "unvaccinated" were receiving much worse care in the state of Texas than the rest of the nation. The image below is Deputy Sheriff Jason Jones from Emily Miller.

Now, let's contrast the Texas and National results against the results of Dr. Mary Bowden.

Dr. Bowden July 25, 2022: I have now treated over 4,000 COVID patients. And every single one of them that have received early treatment has stayed out of the hospital and survived. And no one has received any adverse repercussions from my treatment.

Obviously, very obviously, Dr. Bowden's results are far, far superior to the the hospitals. Zero deaths, zero hospitalizations. So yes, as HMH stated in their tweets, there is clearly a great deal of "misinformation" going on here. Also just as clearly, the hospitals, governments, and media are the ones providing the misinformation.

But how do they do it? Is it all one big lie? It's not a lie exactly, it's misinformation, just like they said. You have to pay attention to exactly what is being reporting in the statistics.

I was taught econometrics in college, not medicine. The first lecture I heard was on "lies, damned lies and statistics." I bet you have heard that "you're more likely to die from lightning than a shark attack." If you are swimming around the Great Barrier Reef with a bloody tuna tied around your neck and there's not a cloud in the sky, should you take comfort from the weather? Clearly you won’t be struck by lighting.

This is what I think is going on. There are three statistics that we are looking at here, not two. Let's call them A, B, C.

A = Vaccinated receiving hospital protocol care

B = Unvaccinated receiving hospital protocol care

C = Vaccinated and Unvaccinated receiving care from Dr. Bowden using her best medical judgement and training on a patient-by-patient basis.

When governments report statistics that the unvaccinated are more likely to die, they are reporting that the unvaccinated in hospitals (A) are being killed at a rate higher than vaccinated in hospitals (B). These hospital protocols amount to homicide. Both (A) and (B) amount to homicide compared to (C). Speaking for one average American citizen, I will not accept ignorance as an excuse from these hospital administrators and government officials that their protocols and treatments are more deadly than “early treatments” when you have other prominent doctors correcting them in a very straightforward and public manner. These people deserve to be charged, tried and executed in accordance with applicable law.

The media continues to report hospital homicide rates as unvaccinated death rates. The true unvaccinated death rate (C), if given early treatment from doctors like Mary Bowden, is at or near zero. You can call what I’m saying a "theory" if you like. I'm fine with that. In fact that's how econometricians are trained to approach science. State a theory, then test it. All we need to test that theory is the appropriate data from HMH.

Previously in January 2022, Dr. Bowden filed a legal action to force HMH to make their data public. Information that was requested is as follows:

• Financial data after the appearance of Covid in 2020

• Financial data after the vaccine was rolled out in 2021

• # of Adverse Reactions in all vaccinated employees

• # of Breakthrough Infections in fully vaxxed employees

• # of Hospital Admissions with fully vaxxed patients

• Mortality data relative to vaxxed patients   

HMH claims to be a charity, and thus is required to provide data such as this upon request. They have refused. This is the type of behavior that you would expect from criminals trying to hide evidence of a crime, not a charity trying to help the public with medicine.

Wayne Delfino said "All of us who believe in transparency ... should want simple questions answered. ... Then you can evaluate. Look, Methodist was the first place that fired a bunch of nurses and medical staff who were great medical people, simply because they refused to stick something in their body that at that time was only seven months old, to be fair this isn't the polio vaccine."

Delfino's remarks come after an unconfirmed report of three doctors recently dying in a short span at Trillium Health Partners in Ontario, Canada, on “July 17, 18, and 20.” The deaths of these doctors are presumed to be a result of Trillium Health Partner’s vaccination program. Again, unconfirmed.

I have also recently reported that the public in under a false impression about polio and the polio vaccines, with all due respect to Mr. Delfino.
