The revelation that there are more progressive activists within the medical community than previously thought can be unsettling. However, a silver lining emerges when some individuals openly express their views on social media, effectively identifying themselves. This transparency allows concerned citizens to alert relevant authorities and demand appropriate responses.

A recent case underscores this dynamic. As reported by RedState, swift action was taken against Malinda Cook, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist at VCU Medical Center in Richmond. Cook faced termination after her controversial TikTok videos went viral. In these videos, she encouraged her peers to engage in actions that could potentially harm or incapacitate immigration enforcement officers—actions that could have had lethal consequences.

In response to the outcry, VCU Health issued a statement confirming that, “Following an investigation, the individual involved in the social media videos is no longer employed by VCU Health. In addition, VCU Health has fulfilled its reporting requirements under Virginia state law,” they announced on their social media platforms on Tuesday.
