Several nationally-known physicians will soon speak at a symposium being sponsored by Kansas Senator Dr. Mark Steffen and Kansans for Health Freedom.
The event will bring together Drs. Peter McCullough, Pierre Kory, and John Littell as well as Overland Park physician Jesse Lopez.
According to a release from Steffen, The Early Covid Treatment Symposium will be a first-of-its-kind event intended to spark discussion about early treatment for COVID-19 using multi-drug protocols.
“The sole purpose behind the Symposium is to bring together thought leaders in the healthcare field to evaluate and broaden opportunities to prevent suffering and death from the COVID-19 virus,” Steffen said in the release. “Unfortunately, many early treatment strategies have been vilified and censored for reasons unknown to me. The Symposium will shed light on how effective treatments were squashed by academic medicine, government, big pharma, and the media.”
Physicians from the University of Kansas Medical center have been invited, but it is unclear if they will participate in the event set for 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., March 2, at the Hyatt Place in Lenexa. KHF says space is limited and tickets cost $35.
