New slate of allegations against Phillips, including ‘interference with the testing of an infant for COVID-19’

Ontario’s College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPSO) has temporarily suspended the licence of Dr. Patrick Phillips, a physician whose social media comments promoting misinformation during the pandemic landed him before a disciplinary committee.
Phillips, who worked as an emergency room physician in Englehart, Ont., had previously been called before the college’s disciplinary committee to answer to allegations of misconduct.
The allegations are, at least in part, connected to Phillips’s statements on social media, where he once had a sizeable presence. Nearly 40,000 users followed him on Twitter before his account was suspended.
