To make matters worse, Propst has a long track record of pushing questionable policies on children. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she was a loud advocate for masking young kids in schools—a move many now agree did more harm than good.
After the public firestorm, her employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, was forced to step in. In a public statement, the practice disavowed her remarks and confirmed she had been placed on administrative leave.
The clinic’s statement read:
“We are aware that a personal social media comment by one of our physicians has caused significant hurt and outrage. The content and timing of that post do not reflect the values, standards, or mission of Blue Fish Pediatrics.
We want to be clear: we do not support or condone any statement that politicizes tragedy, diminishes human dignity, or fails to clearly uphold compassion for every child and family, regardless of background or beliefs.
Our practice exists for one purpose only — to provide excellent, loving, and respectful care to all children and their families.
Our patients come from every walk of life, every political belief, and every background, and we are honored to serve each of them with empathy and integrity.
In moments of crisis, we believe in unity over division, healing over judgment, and humility over rhetoric. We are taking this matter seriously, reviewing it internally, and have placed the physician on administrative leave.”
The backlash online only continues to grow. Many are now calling for Propst to be stripped of her medical license altogether. After all, if a pediatrician can dehumanize the death of children because of their parents’ political views, is she really fit to care for any child?
This incident is yet another example of how deeply toxic left-wing ideology has seeped into sectors of American life that are supposed to remain above politics—especially health care.
In a time when trust in public institutions is already fractured, actions like this only make things worse. The American people expect their doctors to lead with compassion and professionalism, not hate and ideology. Dr. Propst failed that test miserably.
Let this serve as a reminder: when politics comes before humanity, everyone loses. Hopefully, state medical boards will take a long, hard look at Propst’s behavior—and act accordingly.
