The Oregon Medical Board has revoked the license of a doctor who didn’t follow COVID-19 guidelines in his office and even told some patients that wearing face masks could lead to carbon-dioxide poisoning.

The board also said he’d overprescribed opioids for some patients.said LaTulippe and his wife, who ran the clinic with him, didn’t wear face masks while treating patients from March to December of 2020.
“Licensee asserts masks are likely to harm patients by increasing the body’s carbon dioxide content through rebreathing of gas trapped behind a mask,” the report said. The report said LaTulippe told patients they didn't have to wear a mask in the clinic unless they were"acutely ill,""coughing," or"congested," even though the CDC and the Oregon governor had recommended masks be worn to prevent the spread of the virus.
