A Sydney anaesthetist who questioned the efficacy of vaccines and health restrictions—including lockdowns—has had his registration suspended by the state’s medical authorities.

Dr. Paul Oosterhuis, who has been a medical practitioner for over 30 years, was brought before the New South Wales (NSW) Medical Council on Sept. 3, after “two anonymous complaints” were lodged against him regarding his social media activity, according to a petition on Doctors for COVID Ethics.
