A family doctor from Manitoba has been censured for prescribing Ivermectin to a patient, not wearing a mask during a clinical encounter, and conveying information about COVID-19 pandemics and vaccines that run counter to public health recommendations, says the province’s regulatory body for medical physicians.

In a statement released on June 29, the registrar of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba (CPSM) said Dr. Wilhelmus Petrus Grobler, a family physician from South Sherbrook Health Centre (SSHC) in Winnipeg, has been censured by its investigation committee for his care and conduct of two patients.
