Dr. Christopher Rake, UCLA anesthesiologist who previously attended an anti-vaxx rally in his white coat, was escorted out of a UCLA Medical Center today.

“This is what happens when you stand up for freedom, when you show up to work, willing to work, despite being unvaccinated.”

Here’s a video of Dr Christopher Rake at an Anti-Vax Rally in Santa Monica, wearing his white coat in an attempt to look… professional? Anyways, no word on whether UCLA was more embarrassed by his anti-vaxx opinions or the QAnon chant.

After warning the crowd against listing their religion as an exemption to the vaccine (he says the gov’t will come after you & restrict your travel), Dr. Christopher Rake ends his speech with a Q-Anon chant.

"Where we go one...Fool me — you can't get fooled again...."

Or something like that.

[Sogo]

39. LOL!!

[Johonny]

3. He's free to anestesize at home anyone he wants

But at the hospital, you follow the rules or patients die.

[lagomorph777]

4. Bye, asshole!

Imagine that monster being the last face you see as he's knocking you unconscious?

[relayerbob]

5. Good

He's not really a doctor with those attitudes, just another street moron. Hope he enjoys flipping burgers. Oh, wait, that will require vaxxing, too. Hope he enjoys panhandling

[spanone]

7. Thanks UCLA Medical Center!!!

[NCjack]

37. +1

WTF? How does Twitter allow this?

19. Nice bona fides to throw directly into the trash.

I do not understand how certified medical professionals with advanced degrees and sterling resumes refuse to get vaccinated.

I just don’t get it.

And then, on top of that, they insist on their “right” and their “freedumb” to continue in their profession - WHILE not vaccinated.

[PatSeg]

28. He says he is willing to even give up his life if necessary

and that might be what could happen.

I don't understand it either. All jobs have requirements of employment and no hospital employee should be surprised if vaccines are one of those requirements. Many hospitals already require flu vaccines. They have to protect their patients, especially when they are the most vulnerable.

These fools keep talking about "my freedoms" and they certainly are free to not get vaccinated, but they aren't free to make other people sick and any medical professional should be aware of that. It often feels too much like they enjoy the attention on social media. I can't believe how many adults have turned into fifteen year old kids.

[PatSeg]

44. Absolutely

Because clearly he chose the wrong profession in the first place. Oh well, he has had his fifteen minutes of fame, now he'll have to focus on how he is going to pay his bills.

[iscooterliberally]

10. The movie Scarface had a life lesson to be taught.

I guess this quack is self medicating...

[Swede]

11. Thanks for posting this.

I am now gonna ad kimmel a follow on twitter.

[ffr]

12. Cuckoo. Cuckoo for cocoa puffs! FREEDUMB

What a whiny bitch he turned out to be.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, crazy person!

Hey, maybe go hit up your cuckoo anti-vax friends at Fox Noise. Ask them for a job. I hear they're hiring.

[Captain Zero]

43. Except he would have to be vaxxed to work for FOX

They all are though they stoke the fires of ignorance.

[Midnight Writer]

13. Does this fool expect to get a bonus for working with the ill while unvaccinated?

What a ma-roon.

Like they say, in every medical school, someone will graduate at the bottom of their class and go on to practice.

[elias7]

14. Willing to lose freedom for freedom? What an idiot...

[Lars39]

15. He will surely miss that high income

when he gets his license revoked

[Traildogbob]

16. After Trumps 2024 steal

He will be White House doctor or Surgeon General.

[Mary in S. Carolina]

17. "This is what happens when we stand up for freedom"?

No, this is what happens when you are fired for insubordination - you white entitled piece of ...

Do you have the freedom to drink and drive and possibly kill someone? Nope, then you don't have the right to breath all over us with your "pandemy" breath you walking petri dish - see you on the other side.

[buzzroller]

18. Freedom to infect

I think the correct comeback to these claims of "freedom" is that there is no freedom to infect others. As a doctor, he has duty to protect and heal and not infect.

[barbtries]

20. I hope that means they fired his ass.

I looked him up, he's an anesthesiologist.

jeez.

[Initech]

23. Not only that, should lose his medical license.

And I mean same goes for all the morons in health care who are refusing to get vaccines. Really this is truly maddening!

[barbtries]

24. it is.

i run out of words with these fucking idiots, many of whom clearly did not start out life as idiots.

[halfulglas]

32. How would you like to have him breath down on you while you're unconscious?

Even wearing a mask, I wouldn't want him near me. But then, it's all about HIS freedom. Well, if you're an anesthesiologist, you can't exactly open a clinic on the street. Good luck making a good living. (And for the most part the gas passers DO make a good living.)

[barbtries]

38. i googled around a bit

and could not find any evidence that he lost his job over this. I just hope he did.

[Initech]

21. "Doctors against vaccines" is a lot like "cooks against stoves".

[blueinredohio]

22. Wonder when his go fund me will start when his bills come due and he gets hungry.

[3catwoman3]

25. He says he is willing to lose his life for this cause.

He may well get his wish.

[halfulglas]

26. Notice he also is wearing glasses before the crowd.

All the more to look professional and add credence to his nutty beliefs of his freedom trumps your right to live.

[IronLionZion]

27. Bye Felicia

Antivaxxers need to hold their rallies indoors and breathe deep since they're not afraid of a little freedom.

[bottomofthehill]

29. Many people don't want Covid with their anesthesia you fucking moron.

What a total asshole. Shocked, they done want my potential Covid spreading self in the operating room just prior to your surgery. What could possibly go wrong. What a fucking Dickhead.

[rkleinberger]

30. 1..2..3..Will appear on Tucker Carlson on Faux and become a hero to the freedumb loving Republicans.

[keithhs28]

31. Good riddance to...

...bad rubbish!

[Grokenstein]

33. "Willing to work, despite being unvaccinated"

He tries to make it sound like he's doing everyone a favor by being a plague rat.
See you in the ICU, tool. Be sure to tweet us before the tube goes in...

[Nevilledog]

35. Now he can be Typhoid Mary of the Temp Agency

[Kali]

34. hmmm, cumulative effects of partaking recreationally?

anesthesiologist

[not fooled]

36. He can go to work in a red (dumbass) state!

The way things are going, pretty soon it wouldn't be surprising if there's a parallel medical licensing system set up by freedumb-loving GQPers in red states.

Drs. who refuse to respect women's privacy, who are anti-vaxxers, who don't want public health measures enforced...might get a warm reception in Florida, or Texas, or Tennessee...

[BlueIdaho]

40. Don't let the door hit you on the ass

As you exit your career.

[FakeNoose]

42. So long, sucka
