Court appeal begins for GP suspended for anti-vax views

From Checkpoint, 6:12 pm on 23 February 2022

A doctor who sent 600 anti-Covid-vaccination texts to patients has been appealing his suspension in court today.

Dr Matthew Shelton discouraged patients from getting the vaccine, and allegedly told another the prime minister faked her vaccination.

He is in the first group of three doctors the Medical Council stood down for spreading Covid-19 misinformation late last year.
