About this conversation: Dr Clayton Baker MD, explores the concept of medical freedom, noting the lack of a standardized definition. He observes that opponents often resort to discrediting tactics, ranging from associating it with far-right militias to labelling it as a ploy by grifters selling snake oil.
Clayton delves into the legal aspects, examining cases like Florida's legislation against mandatory vaccines. He highlights the challenge of unravelling legislative decisions and questions opponents' reluctance to engage in rational arguments, suggesting it may stem from a lack of convincing ideology and financial motivations. Clayton emphasizes the importance of foundational documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights in shaping the discourse around bodily autonomy and individual liberties. Clayton Baker is an American internal medicine physician with a quarter century in clinical practice. Trained at Harvard and McGill universities, he has held numerous academic medical appointments, and his work has appeared in many journals, including the Journal of the American Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine. From 2012 to 2018 he was Clinical Associate Professor of Medical Humanities and Bioethics at the University of Rochester. Since the start of the COVID-19 era, Clayton has become an outspoken advocate for medical freedom, civil liberties, and the protection of children. He writes for Brownstone Institute and American Thinker, he has provided expert witness opinions on multiple COVID-19-related lawsuits, and he has spoken out publicly against COVID-19-related abuses of patients’ and children’s rights in numerous venues, including legislatures, school boards, and crowds of over 1000 people. I hope you enjoy the conversation. Links Writings Clayton Baker Brownstone Institute X Clayton Baker X
