Who is Andrew Thierry? Beverly Hills radiologist fired over series of hateful, antisemitic social media posts

The inflammatory comments by Dr Andrew Thierry, which included derogatory language toward Zionists, were met with swift condemnation

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: California radiologist Dr Andrew Thierry has been terminated from his position as the Chief Medical Officer at ExpertMRI following his disturbing antisemitic social media posts. The inflammatory comments, which included derogatory language towards Zionists, were met with swift condemnation.

In one of the posts on his since-deleted social media account, Thierry wrote, "Zionists are genocidal, demonic, greedy, pedophilic r****ds. Change my mind." He further added, "The only thing Zionists are Superior at are lies, deceit, and genocide."

ExpertMRI takes decisive action

ExpertMRI announced its decision to sever ties with Thierry on Instagram, expressing strong disapproval of his actions.

Their statement read, "Expert MRI is aware of the disturbing, anti-Semitic comments posted by Dr. Andrew Thierry on his personal X/Twitter account. Effective immediately, Dr Thierry is no longer Chief Medical Officer of ExpertMRI and will not be affiliated with the company in any capacity moving forward."

The company emphasized its rejection of antisemitism and all forms of hate, asserting that such behavior goes against its core values.

"We encourage all our staff to always show empathy and compassion in both their professional and personal lives. We sincerely apologize as a company to any individuals who were hurt or affected by Dr Thierry's posts and want to reinforce that such behavior is not tolerated at ExpertMRI in any way, shape, or form," the statement concluded.

The decision to terminate Thierry came after ExpertMRI faced significant backlash over the hateful tweets posted by their staff member.

Many found the comments offensive, especially considering that around 95 percent of American Jews openly support the State of Israel. Some individuals expressed their discontent by flooding Thierry's Yelp page with 1-star reviews.

Controversial apology

In response to the backlash, Thierry posted an "apology," suggesting that those who were offended had misunderstood his intentions.

He stated, "I apologize if anyone interpreted my words the wrong way. I love everyone which includes Jews and all God's children. I am most critical of my own government and all the other wars the US is involved in. I apologize if I offended anyone. I only have love in my heart, which breaks any time innocent humans suffer."

However, this apology did little to mitigate the situation as Thierry's Healthgrade profile has since received numerous 1-star reviews, with some users expressing strong disapproval of his comments and suggesting that he should not be practicing medicine.

"Anti-Semitic doctor with pure hate in his blood," one user posted. "This man should not be practicing medicine!" another added.

Thierry, a diagnostic radiology specialist in Los Angeles, California, has over 17 years of experience in the medical field and graduated from Michigan State University College of Human Medicine in 2005.

Antisemitic comments lead to dentist's ouster

In a separate incident in Miami, a dentist named Ahmed Elkoussa and 'Instagram model' Xave Ramoul faced swift consequences after they were caught on camera ripping down posters of Israeli hostages. The incident went viral, leading to Elkoussa's immediate termination.

The dental office where Elkoussa was employed, CG Smile, released a statement on Instagram, expressing their disapproval of his actions. They stated, "We are very sad to see this situation upon waking up. Our office CG Smile is not in favor of any of the actions taken by Elkoussa. We do not support terrorist groups, actions, or supporters."

"He has been removed from our staff, all of our social media pages and groups. CG Smile DOES NOT support terrorist groups actions or supporters," the post added.
