UK's Chiropractic Regulatory Board Promotes COVID Vaccine - Warns Chiropractors They Must Do the Same
The United Kingdom's General Chiropractic Council (GCC) has issued a threat and a warning to UK Chiropractors: Promote the COVID vaccine narrative that we approve or else.
The General Chiropractic Council is the only regulatory and licensing board overseeing chiropractic in the United Kingdom and has a long history of anti-chiropractic policy making that targets those chiropractors practicing the management of vertebral subluxation in a salutogenic, vitalistic model.
They go on to tell UK chiropractors that the Board expects that chiropractors under their control:
". . . will work to ensure that their patients are referred and signposted to trusted sources of information and recognise the dangers of misinformation."
The chiropractic regulatory board goes on to threaten chiropractors stating:
"We further expect all registrants to check the validity of information they pass on or comment on either online or offline and to refrain from engaging with or making unsubstantiated claims that are not supported by concrete scientific evidence or credible sources."
Of course the GCC does not define what they consider to be "concrete scientific evidence" or "credible sources" instead leaving the practicing chiropractor to figure out what their weasel words mean.
The chiropractic board further claims that:
"Patient safety and public trust in immunisation are vital."
Making the announcement praising the vaccine even more bizarre is that after warning chiropractors that they better get in line and promote this vaccine to their patients, the GCC completely contradicts itself stating:
"we emphasise that while immunisation is an important area of public health it is outside the scope of chiropractic competence."
That the GCC does not see the inherent contradiction in their statement should come as no surprise given the history of the GCC.
