Doctor Convicted for Pandemic Social Media Posts | Cork News

A Wexford doctor has been found guilty of professional misconduct for inflammatory social media posts during the pandemic, with four out of six allegations proven. His tweets—spanning two years—criticized public health guidance, vaccines for children, and promoted ivermectin as a treatment, using language like “misguided fascist professionals” and calling vaccinated parents “vile individuals.” While his wife defended him as a thoughtful, long-serving physician who questioned authority, the committee deemed his posts dangerous, misleading, and alarmist. One allegation was dropped due to retweets, another partially upheld but not deemed misconduct. The Medical Council now faces decisions on sanctions, likely including censure and mandatory social media training, acknowledging his beliefs while condemning the pattern of harmful rhetoric.
