It's taken a while, but another NZ anti-vax doctor has finally been named. Suppression lapsed for Dr Sophie Jane Febery, currently practising in Mataura, when The NZ Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal released its decision yesterday.
In a series of what should have been career-ending acts of stupidity, Febery handed out vaccine exemptions, prescribed Ivermectin, attempted to import Ivermectin (later found to be sub-standard) and bodged medical records.
She appeared as a doctor at a Christchurch anti-vax rally, claiming the pandemic wasn't as deadly as scientists claimed.
The Tribunal decided "her public comments about the Covid-19 vaccine suggested a lack of research rigour." They found "her unlawful conduct amounts to malpractice and negligence."
She's on a tight rein for the next three years, has been formally censured and ordered to pay $67,196.52.
