Dr. Brian Tyson is an urgent care physician at All Valley Urgent Care in Imperial County, California, where he practices with three locations near the southern border. He has been in medicine for more than twenty years, previously serving as an emergency room physician and an intensive care unit attending. During the pandemic his county became the epicenter of Southern California's outbreak, and his clinic became one of the few in-person treatment centers still operating, seeing three to four hundred patients a day.
Jenny Beth Martin hosts. She founded Tea Party Patriots Action and spent 2020 organizing physicians and pressing state and local officials on lockdown policy, and she brings that firsthand account into the conversation.
Key topics:
- The first 1,800 patients, day seven of illness, and why he stopped counting at 19,700
- What supportive care is supposed to mean in a physician's hands
- Why he argues evidence-based medicine belongs in chronic disease and falls apart in acute illness
- The California Medical Board investigation and the investigator's own conclusion
- Off-label prescribing, how Food and Drug Administration approval actually works, and the coding question that ended the argument
- Monoclonal antibodies, the supply chain, and why they were pulled while the Delta variant was still circulating
- Ten months of state data collection inside his clinic, and the email he got the day after he asked one question
- The AIDS epidemic parallel: AZT, and the treatment he says was already working
- What he wants Washington to change, and the $250,000 loan he took out when no help came
