What even is an activist doctor? Seems like a weird phrase to me. Shouldn't all doctors be activists, especially when they're in decision-making authorities such as the AACAP?

Compare the mainstream American Academy of Pediatrics to the fringe American College of Pediatricians.

One pushes mainstream evidence based treatment, the other pushes socially conservative, Christian values, based "treatment".
