Dr. Matthew Evans-Cockle has written an article about the ethical issues with discipline of BC physicians who have voiced their concerns regarding COVID-19 policies. He explains that their regulatory college in BC appears to be “aggressively persecuting highly qualified and conscientious medical professionals for acting according to the dictates of their conscience, knowledge, and sworn oath to do no harm.” He added, “The College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC’s disciplinary proceedings also deprive patients of their essential rights to informed consent to medical treatment, freedom from coercion or force to accept a medical treatment not voluntarily chosen, and freedom from non-consensual medical or scientific experimentation.”
