Pushing back harder: Blacklisted oral surgeon Skoly amends lawsuit against Rhode Island to note CDC new guidelines
Oral surgeon Stephen Skoly, blackballed by Rhode Island
Bring a gun to a knife fight: Because officials in the state of Rhode Island continue to blacklist oral surgeon Stephen Skoly because of his refusal to get any COVID shots for health reasons, his lawyers have now filed an amended lawsuit, noting that Rhode Island’s shot mandates are now recognized as “irrational” by the CDC itself and should cease immediately.
This is a follow-up of an earlier blacklist story. In August 2021 Skoly had been forced to shut down his dental practice — serving 800 patients monthly — because the state had imposed a mandate requiring him to get COVID shots, even though he had already gotten COVID and had natural immunity, had serious health issues that made getting the shots unwise, and was willing to protect his patients with a high level face shield.
In February 2022 Skoly sued, and then expanded his suit in May 2022 when the state refused to grant him unemployment insurance for the time period his practice had been shuttered.
Skoly’s lawyers, from the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), have now amended the lawsuit again, noting that the CDC now recognizes that natural immunity gives as good if not better immunity than the COVID shots. And yet, Rhode Island is still demanding healthcare workers get the jab. From amended complaint [pdf]:
Rhode Island’s order, updated in June, adds a new, not-publicly-discussed section to an existing temporary emergency regulation issued by the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) in 2021. The new rule requires all Medicare and Medicaid certified providers, suppliers, and healthcare workers to get the Covid-19 vaccine. The mandate discriminates between different types of unvaccinated healthcare workers. The preferred unvaccinated (those with accepted medical exemptions) are allowed to wear N95 masks and work, while the unpreferred unvaccinated (those with a not accepted medical condition, or natural immunity, or a religious belief) are compelled to suffer loss of livelihood despite being willing to be N95 masked.
The suit has also been expanded to demand the state stop falsely identifying Skoly “as a practitioner who has been subject to professional discipline” on its website.
Insurance carriers have visited the website and informed Dr. Skoly that the adverse information listed there requires that they not reimburse him for services he has performed. The false listing that he is a disciplined practitioner also raises the possibility of his being delisted by insurers as a practitioner permitted to be reimbursed by insurance.
The lawsuit asks for compensatory damages for this false claim, both for the loss of reimbursements as well as the lost business.
The lawsuit had originally named the state of Rhode Island as well as the specific individuals involved, Democrat governor Daniel McKee, the former health department head James McDonald, and labor head Matthew Weldon. The amended complaint now also names another former health department head Nicole Alexander-Scott, as well as the current health department head, Utpala Bandy.
All these individuals have apparently shown direct animus towards Skoly. According to the complaint, Skoly was expressly told that McKee, Alexander-Scott and McDonald wanted him punished for having ‘opened his big mouth’ by speaking to the press.” Bandy continued this animus by falsely listing Skoly as having been professionally disciplined. And Weldon as head of the labor department was the one who denied Skoly insurance compensation illegally.
The illogic of all of the actions by Rhode Island and its government officials likely means Skoly will win in court. Unfortunately, it is unlikely the damages will come directly from these officials, since government officials in the past few decades have teamed up with the courts to make themselves immune from any punishment for the evil deeds they do. Instead, the taxpayer pays, and the officials walk off scot free, often not even losing their jobs.
Moreover, even in victory Skoly’s dental practice, his employees, and his patients have been damaged in ways that no later financial award can fix. For months he couldn’t work, his employees were unpaid, and his patients could not get treatment. And they were all denied these fundamental rights because government officials in Rhode Island either panicked over the Wuhan flu, or decided it was a great crisis for increasing their power.

From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.
All editions are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all book vendors, with the ebook priced at $5.99 before discount. The ebook can also be purchased direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit, in which case you don't support the big tech companies and I get a bigger cut much sooner.

The “heath misinformation system” of the DEMOcrat party has now declared that there’s “no distinction” between “vaccinated” or UNADULTERATED persons. (My interpretation of their walk back). If the CDC was THE SCIENCE then why isn’t it NOW? PURE POLITICAL POWER!! That is the ONLY reason for ANY of the idiotic measures taken. Look what it has gotten us! I do hope the good Doctor (yes, I know he’s “just” a Dentist) wins this and and take every penny those ghoulish libers have! The only way to EFFECTIVELY punish them is to reduce them to NOTHING! Do I seem a bit miffed? Don’t get mad – get EVEN!!
