Late Edition - When doctors oppose covid vaccines

From Nights, 10:20 pm on 21 September 2021

How is the medical profession handling the fallout from a small group of health professionals  who signed an open letter opposing the pfizer vaccine - and to what extent are people being influenced by them?   There are now several cases under investigation by the Medical Council, after it received complaints about some GPs. Not all of those who signed are GPs, but their decision to sign the letter in their professional capacity has alarmed the Royal New Zealand College of GPs. Yadana Saw talks to its medical director, Dr Bryan Betty.
