Letter Highlights Local Doctor's Opposition to Covid Public Health Policies

community · Denman Island

A letter to the editor praised a local doctor who questioned Covid public health policies, hosted discussion groups, and provided alternative health advice during the pandemic. The doctor faced community backlash and professional scrutiny but continued to inform residents.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.

Despite being slandered... reported to the College of Physicians and Surgeons... continued to warn of the lack of data supporting public health policies.” — The Islands Grapevine – June 8th, 2023 (June 8th, 2023)
