GP with unblemished 40-year career gets 6-month suspension for ‘vitriolic’ anti-vaxx comments – including one that kids were being ‘lined up’ to get a Covid vaccine that could ‘kill them’
A tribunal said her comments risked undermining public faith in other medics
A GP with an unblemished career has been suspended for six months over ‘vitriolic’ comments she made about Covid and vaccines.
Londonderry-based Dr Mary McCloskey claimed the pandemic was a ‘figment’ of the media and the Government and that jabs don’t work and were killing people.
She also claimed tests and face masks were being used as a psychological weapons to spread fear and experts were ‘laughing’ at the public via how they named variants of the virus.
In one of her most inflammatory statements on Covid vaccines, she claimed parents were being ‘told to line up our children to get something that might kill them, to protect them from something that can’t kill them’.
Dr McCloskey, who also goes by her middle name Anne, made the comments in a series of videos uploaded online between August and November 2021.
