Anti-vaxx nurse struck off

I dont agree with her and I am sure she has broken all sorts of professional standards but when you get into sacking people for opinions then you end up with the cricketer who I am sure also had a code of conduct to adhere to. It's a bigger picture than the damage one conspiracy theorist can do.

Big difference, she broke the rules of the nurses code that presents professional standards that all Nurses and Midwives must adhere to. As a retired RGN, and having been horrified at the harm she could do to her patients through her unproven ramblings, the same damage that Andrew Wakefield did. Preventing people seeking help.

I am fairly wary of people being struck off for their opinions. Same with the cricketer thread.

There are opinions and actions which are questionable, however for a Health Care Professional to make the accusations sited in the OP which could cause distress and even death I think that the employers had no choice.

Referring to the NHS as the new Austwich!?

Why was she still working for them then?

She sounds mentally ill. I hope that she gets some help. I think that Covid has tipped people over the edge in many different ways

Well if people belive them,they will have joined the stupid club.
Ride off on your unicorns thicko`s.

Blimey. What a stupid and dangerous opinion for a nurse to hold. Quite right for her to be struck off and I hope unemployable in any care setting.

It would seem, from what I've read, that some conspiracy theory groups are a real danger. I do hope that the government has them on a watch list!

Oh dear, unfortunately she is not a lone voice there are conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers in all walks of life! ?

I don't understand the mentality of someone who must have a scientific background believing such tripe! Someone I worked with,who I considered intelligent, is refusing to be vaccinated for similar nonsensical ideas. As is her husband who is badly asthmatic.
