The Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons may revoke the licence of an Ontario doctor for his comments on COVID-19 vaccines.

An Oct. 6 Ontario Physicians and Surgeons Discipline Tribunal decision said that Dr. Mark Trozzi committed professional misconduct by “failing to meet the standard of practice of the profession” in some of his statements about vaccinations and COVID-19 public health measures. They said the comments were made on social media, on his website, and in interviews.
