[Epoch Times] Dr. Littell, a longtime family physician in Ocala and a medical school professor, began posting videos sharing his thoughts about COVID-19 testing, treatments, and vaccines early in the pandemic. He was frustrated to find his content often was pulled down from his YouTube channel.
But he fought against what he saw as censorship by moving the content to other platforms, such as Rumble, he said.
Then, in January 2022 and again five months later, he received warning letters from the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), the organization that issued his certification for his medical specialty.
Can't hide from the Cancellers.
Dr. Littell spoke cordially to [hospital] board members from the podium, an Epoch Times reporter confirmed. He told board members how treating patients with ivermectin had been his key to success in helping them recover. And he praised hospital personnel for their work during the pandemic.
Shortly after that, security guards escorted him outside.
The month after Dr. Littell spoke in Sarasota, the board sent a letter saying he'd been de-certified for "spreading false, inaccurate, and misleading materials about COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccination, and treatment and mitigation of the virus," The Epoch Times confirmed.
In the letter, the board also criticized Dr. Littell for "offering to provide medical exemptions from vaccination" to patients across the country and "publicly comparing the U.S. public health system's response to the COVID-19 pandemic to Nazi Germany."
Ouch!
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo also voiced support for Dr. Littell. "What they’re doing is being a bully," he said in an interview with The Floridian. "It’s not going to age well. "I read the letter from the Board, and it’s dripping with political animosity."
 In July, Dr. Littell received word that the board had reviewed his case and retroactively de-certified him for three months, from March 16 to June 16. He never stopped seeing patients. "It's like a slap on the wrist so they’d feel good about it, but wouldn't, presumably, have to face any legal action," he said.
So they decertified him and re certified him at the same time. Clever!
"The way I read the letter, it's sort of like a warning," Dr. Littell said. The board, he said, seemed to be sending the warning, "If you act up again, we know it's a privilege to have this board certification, and it can be removed at any time."
And the next time, the punishment is likely to escalate.
So the elitists conceded the battle, but the war continues.
He sees bringing people together to unite in their pushback against prevailing opinions as a revolutionary concept.
"It's really no different than what our Founding Fathers did," Dr. Littell said. "They realized that they were victims of repression. But there also were people comfortable with the status quo. That’s what is in our medical schools right now and is what we all need to fight against.
"People should be allowed to question and use their God-given intellect, and not be censored or disciplined for doing so."
