New Zealand antivax doctor told patient Covid jab would ‘settle in her ovaries’
- The doctor, who has not been named, was investigated after sending an antivax text message to hundreds of his patients
- He reportedly told one patient that New Zealand Jacinda Ardern had taken a fake dose of vaccine, and claimed the jabs were unsafe and untested
One patient who spoke to the commission said the doctor told her the vaccine would “settle in her ovaries”, and that Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had taken a fake dose.
But the doctor, who subscribes to views ranging from vaccine-induced magnetism to a conspiracy it will be used for biometric control, cannot be named, with the commission saying it must protect his privacy.
Eleven people complained to the commissioner about the doctor last year, some of whom had received the text message and others who were patients, or related to patients, who felt they hadn’t been provided with a full picture of the safety of the vaccine.
The text message, sent on August 19, read: “Hi [name], your GP here. I cannot in conscience support Covid vaccination of, particularly, children, and pregnant and fertile women, from my assessment of current risks and benefits ... All to make their own best decision. I apologise for any distress. My views are my own, not the consensus.”
