Dr. Mary Bowden, an ear, nose and throat doctor at Houston Methodist Hospital, posted"harmful" and"dangerous misinformation" about Covid-19 and its treatments, according to the hospital.The doctor was a recent addition to Houston Methodist's medical staff and used her social media to"express her personal and political opinions about the COVID-19 vaccine and treatments," Houston Methodist said in a statement on Twitter.
Doctor outspoken against vaccine mandatesAlong with advocating for the use of ivermectin, Bowden also frequently criticizes vaccine mandates on her social media accounts, with Mitby adding that"Dr. Bowden is not anti-vaccine," but believes"people should have a choice."The doctor herself is vaccinated, as mandated by the hospital for all physicians who work at Houston Methodist, the hospital said.
