MEASLES 'OUTBREAK' In May 2023 there was a measles 'outbreak' at an Auckland school. It triggered a scare campaign in schools NZ wide. Here is the part of my 2023 school board speech where I addressed this situation. Do your own research. Don't be ruled by fear or propaganda.
@simondoyle87 @wesstreeting We literally know more about medicine than doctors. We can easily manage long term conditions. We’ve been working in GP surgeries for last 20 years alongside our GP colleagues. Most would beg to differ.
Dr Febery was found guilty of professional misconduct for importing 2000 Ivermectin tablets and prescribing the drug to 29 individuals in 2021. The tribunal said she acted without proper documentation or informed consent, and prescribed the medication to some who were not her registered patients. However, there were no reports of patient harm. She also spoke publicly against vaccine mandates at a Christchurch rally and an Invercargill City Council meeting. In both cases, she identified herself as a doctor and expressed concern over vaccine risks, fertility data, and what she believed were under-reported adverse reactions. The tribunal said these statements were misleading and concluded her public comments brought discredit to the profession. Although the tribunal ruled against her, it chose not to restrict her clinical practice, instead requiring her to complete a medical council-approved course on research analysis, prescribing standards, and record-keeping. She must also disclose the tribunal decision to any employer for three years.
