At least on paper, they suspended her not directly for being a loony, but for being actively hostile to their attempts to investigate what she was saying and why.

Conspiracy theorists take note: They never attempted to “silence” her; they actually asked her to indicate in detail why she believed these things, and she twice refused to show up and explain. After the second time, they then suspended her license.

While board members emphasized the punishment is connected to the procedural issues and not the bunk health claims, the medical board’s staff makes clear the basis for its inquiry in their formal report. They asked Tenpenny what evidence she had that vaccines make people magnetic or interface with cell towers, and for more information about the claim that major metro areas are “liquifying dead bodies and pouring them into the water supply.”

Tenpenny failed to attend either of her two hearings before board staff. Her attorneys even failed to show up to the second. Forcing protracted litigation every time the board wants to interview physicians it regulates, he said, would render the body unable in practice to carry out its duties.
