The South-African born GP has denied a series of allegations of professional misconduct
A Kildare-based GP accused of professional misconduct has told a medical inquiry that he would prefer to rely on international medical studies about Covid-19 vaccines rather than “get tied up with the minutiae of HSE guidelines” about their use.
The inquiry heard an argument had also developed between the GP and a man who had brought his wife and young baby to the clinic on May 3, 2022 over anti-vaccine posters in the surgery as well as the fact that Dr Wilson and his receptionist were not wearing masks. It is alleged that he told the man, identified as Witness B, that face masks and vaccines were ineffective against Covid. However, Dr Wilson claims the evidence of the two witnesses is untrue and false.
She observed that either Dr Wilson did not know the guidelines or chose to ignore them at a time when getting vaccines to everybody as quickly as possible was a priority. Dr Marnell said it was a matter of “huge frustration and disappointment” to have some doctors deliberately ignoring guidelines which she warned could confuse patients and undermine public confidence in the medical profession. She said it was “not acceptable” for doctors to be sending out the message that it was OK not to be vaccinated.
