Anti-vax GP struck off for urging parents to mislead doctors about their children’s jabs

An ‘anti-vax’ GP has been suspended for encouraging parents to ‘deliberately’ mislead doctors about their children’s medical status.

Dr. Jayne Donegan gave parents “one-sided” views on vaccines during a series of paid lectures she was due to give on vaccines, a medical tribunal has heard.

The London-based doctor – who sparked outrage after comparing World Health Organization vaccination information to Nazi propaganda – was charged with eight counts at a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) misconduct hearing.

But a defiant Dr Donegan hit back today when she declared the strike was a ‘small price to pay for taking a lawful ethical stance for the safety of British children’ before labeling her tribunal a ‘politically motivated show trial ‘.

The misconduct hearing heard concerns raised about her comments she made during her 2019 and 2020 vaccine talks, which were denounced by undercover journalists.

A revelation, in November 2019, led to calls from former Health Secretary Matt Hancock to investigate her after stating: ‘Vaccines save lives – the science is beyond question. Anyone who claims otherwise is deliberately risking lives.’

The General Medical Council (GMC) alleged that it failed to provide a balanced view of the risks and benefits of immunization, and failed to comply with summaries of clinical knowledge as set forth by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.

At an MMR vaccination event, in June 2019, she told the audience how to falsify a child’s health record — or red book — detailing their vaccination history.

Dr. Donegan went so far as to say she would be cut if she recommended such advice, as she described how parents could avoid questions in the emergency room about the child’s medical status by acting stupid.

In written submissions, Dr Donegan – who boycotted the hearing – said claimed she had tried to provide balanced views by emphasizing the risks of immunization and the efficacy of vaccines because positive information was already available.

“Vaccines are not safe,” she insisted. “They cause side effects, some of which are serious, including death. But the general public doesn’t know that, they think they can trust their doctors.’

Dr. Donegan also stated: ‘When parents mislead caregivers, the responsibility lies with caregivers.

“Every doctor has a duty to ensure that a child can receive appropriate medical care as and when it is needed, without parents being bullied by doctors about a child’s vaccination status and deterred and delayed from paying attention to their child.” to search.’

But the tribunal ruled that she had “focused heavily on the risks of immunization without meaningfully weighing it against the positives of immunization.”

She argued that vaccines are not necessary, that they have adverse effects, are ineffective, have side effects that are not monitored and that the government supports vaccination because it makes money.

The tribunal – branded a “politically motivated show trial” by Dr Donegan – heard concerns raised about her comments she made during her 2019 and 2020 vaccination talks, which were exposed by undercover journalists.

The tribunal rejected her claims that her comments at the MMR event were meant to be ‘humorous’ and that the public would be ‘stupid’ if they didn’t acknowledge it.

It also rejected its claims that expert witness Dr Andrew Riordan was ‘biased’ so that his evidence could not be relied upon.

Three of the eight allegations – that she gave advice that put newborn babies at risk of significant harm, that she made untruthful statements about vaccines and that she was dishonest – were found unproven.

The second of these allegations related to statements she made after being acquitted of wrongdoing by a previous tribunal in 2007 over a report that Dr. Donegan to the Family Division of the Supreme Court in 2002.

The report – criticized by a judge as ‘junk science’ – was used to support the case of two mothers who opposed having their daughters vaccinated against their father’s wishes.

Since dr. Donegan had previously been acquitted of alleged failure to be objective, independent and unbiased, the tribunal said she had “erroneously believed” that her views on immunization were “validated and justified”, and therefore did not know her statements were untrue.

Dr. Donegan has been deprived of a license to practice since March 2022 and restrictions were imposed on her registration in September regarding prescribing and advising on vaccinations for children.

In a statement following the tribunal, she said: ‘The British Medical Association is right to have no confidence in the GMC yesterday.

“I boycotted the GMC political show trial against me, which ended today.

Serious irregularities include false allegations of dishonesty and false allegations that I am endangering newborns for serious harm.

‘I don’t let myself be fobbed off because of my opinion on vaccination. This is the second time in 16 years that these have been confirmed “correct”. In 2007, overwhelming evidence forced the GMC to admit that my view of vaccination was “correct.” The 2007 charges were thrown out.

While there are physicians who act unprofessionally, do not follow GMC guidelines on a physician’s duties nor the law on consent [Montgomery 2015]my ‘limitation’ is the alleged ‘misconduct’ and ‘lack of understanding’ that I support every parent’s right to do what is necessary to access timely and appropriate medical care for their children.

“If all doctors act like professionals, parents don’t have to.

“Being beaten by a corrupt GMC is a small price to pay for taking a legitimate ethical stance for the safety of British children.”

She vowed to continue lecturing so that the public can get information to make informed decisions about vaccinations.
