Brit Hume is linking to a post by a radically anti-science fringe group known for pushing bizarre claims that are not supported by (and often completely contradicted by) evidence.
Naturally they are a favorite of the current administration and their enablers over on Fox. https://twitter.com/brithume/status/1312076723119370242">https://twitter.com/brithume/...

First of all, former HHS Secretary Tom Price is a member. That tells you a lot of what you need to know.
In their “Statement of Principles,” which has since been removed from their website, they argued that *Medicare* is both “evil” and “immoral” and should be struck down.
Besides their well-known denial of the link between HIV and AIDS, and their wacko claims that vaccines are responsible for autism, the AAPS argues that *shaken baby syndrome* is caused by vaccines.

Whoops, spoke to soon. Their “Statement of Principles” where they declare Medicare and Medicaid both “evil” and “immoral” is still available on their site:

If you want to read more about the AAPS’s disdain for evidence-based medicine, hatred of Medicare and Medicaid, promotion of discredited junk science, and whacked-out Ayn Rand-ian world view, here is a good starting point:

In summary: You should never take any sort of medical advice from Brit Hume, especially not during a pandemic, and extra-especially not when his “source” is the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
