Northland GP annoyed by anti-vaxxers conspiracy demands
A Northland GP is fed up with the amount of time that she and her colleagues are having to spend dealing with the outrageous demands by people who don't want the Covid vaccine. Dr Melissa Gilbert-Smith from Whangarei's Kensington Health says they're coming into the clinic asking for things like vaccine and mask exemption certificates and the drug Ivermectin, which is promoted on conspiracy theory sites as a treatment for Covid-19. Dr Gilbert-Smith told me it's getting in the way of staff doing their already very busy and stressful jobs.
