Ontario doctor suspended for spreading COVID ‘misinformation,’ warning about jab dangers

Knowing his medical license was at risk for his COVID stances, Dr. Patrick Phillips said, ‘There’s so much more at stake in this fight.’
(LifeSiteNews) – A doctor’s license has been temporarily suspended following accusations that he spread “misinformation” about COVID, “inappropriate[ly]” reported post-jab adverse events, and used “inappropriate COVID-19 treatment.”
Dr. Patrick Phillips’ career as an emergency physician in Ontario came to a halt on May 3, the Epoch Times reported. For over a year the doctor had contradicted the medical establishment in his approach to COVID — both in practice and on social media, where he had had about 40,000 Twitter followers before his account was suspended.
Prescribing ivermectin to COVID patients, reporting adverse events following the COVID jab, and giving what the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) called “inappropriate” COVID-related medical exemptions, including mask exemptions, were all cited as examples of unprofessional conduct in a 2021 hearing notice issued by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) to its physicians and surgeons disciplinary tribunal.
The notice stated that Phillips was also accused of “making misleading, incorrect or inflammatory statements about vaccinations, treatments and public health measures for COVID-19” in his online communications between about “August 2020 and September 2021.”
Phillips had been boldly and repeatedly criticizing COVID-related health policy on social media. For example, according to CBC News, in a series of tweets on Sept. 25, Phillips compared COVID-related public health measures to the treatment of people with disabilities in Nazi Germany.
