MedPage Today hosted Dr. Paul Offit, Dr. Jeremy Faust and social media personality “Dr. Mike” in a “debate” about physicians engaging with “misinformation spreaders.” The trio of pro-vaccine doctors lamented their lack of social media presence and said they needed to do a better job of promoting their views to a broader audience. According to OpenPayments, in 2023 alone, Dr. Mike took more than $1 million in consulting fees and other compensation from Abbott Labs, whose products include flu tests and a flu vaccine.
