Dr. Stephen Malthouse of Denman Island was ordered temporarily suspended by the college last month over his COVID statements
Dr. Stephen Malthouse, a family practitioner on Denman Island, was ordered temporarily suspended by the college last month after an inquiry panel decided there would be “a real risk of harm to the public” if Malthouse continued to practise without restriction.
Malthouse was suspended by the physicians’ college last month over allegations he signed vaccine and mask exemption forms based on false statements, and used his status as a doctor to “circumvent public health orders.”Article content “Yet the dangers of the COVID-19 shot for the same age group are significant, including myocarditis, stroke, arrhythmias of the heart and even death.”
Malthouse called for more “scientific debate” of mask mandates and pro-vaccine public health messaging last year in an interview with The Canadian Press. And in October 2020, he wrote a letter to provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry claiming masks are “useless and even harmful” and that people “rarely” get ill from COVID-19.
