Doctor stripped of medical licence for being coronasceptic

Tuesday, 2 March 2021 06:00

A doctor in canton Lucerne has been stripped of his licence to practice after he publicly denounced wearing masks, the usefulness of the vaccine and went on anti-lockdown marches.

He’s also accused of issuing mask exemption certificates without meeting the patient.

He also spread a false story about a vaccine death.

Andreas Heisler says the decision to stop him from working in Ebikon is an attack on his freedom of expression.

He is entitled to appeal – but until that is heard, he can’t work as a doctor.
