Ontario Doctor Faces License Suspension Over COVID-19 Vaccine Remarks

A doctor who deviated from the narrative that COVID-19 vaccines were safe is now at risk of losing his license as a discipline from the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons.

An Oct. 6 Ontario Physicians and Surgeons Discipline Tribunal (OPSDT) decision said that Dr. Mark Trozzi committed professional misconduct by “failing to meet the standard of practice of the profession” in some of his statements about vaccinations and COVID-19 public health measures. They said the comments were made on social media, on his website, and in interviews.

The OPSDT also said Dr. Trozzi failed to meet professional standards when issuing medical exemptions from COVID-19 vaccines to patients.

They called him “incompetent.”

The college is looking for his license to be permanently revoked, Mr. Trozzi’s lawyer told The Epoch Times. But it’s something they are prepared for, he added.

“We already have a decision against us at the college,” Michael Alexander said. “But we expected it, so we are playing the long game.”

He said they’ve set up the case so they can appeal to the court system.

A penalty hearing was held on Nov. 10, but Mr. Alexander said they do not expect to hear back until sometime in December.

He said that Dr. Trozzi was “undeterred” by the turn of events.

“He’s a very positive person. And he is very passionate about the truth regarding the pandemic in COVID-19, and I would just say the truth generally,” Mr. Alexander said.

“He feels he’s done the right thing and said the right things.”

Mr. Alexander said that the case was an attack on the freedom of expression, saying it was a “troubling development.”

“Colleges have now taken on the role of censors and doctors must toe the college’s line and the government’s line on public health and other matters of science. This is a really fundamental attack on freedom of expression. So it’s a very troubling development.”
