Doctor who was suspended maintains he was honest about COVID-19 vaccines.

A doctor named Mark Hobart has been facing disciplinary proceedings initiated by the Medical Board of Australia over allegations that he wrote fraudulent COVID-19 exemptions and spread misleading information about the virus. Despite these accusations, Hobart maintains his innocence and insists that he only spoke the truth about the potential risks of vaccines.

Recently, Hobart appeared in front of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for a brief hearing. During this session, he requested for the case to be dismissed or struck out, claiming that it was unfounded and without merit. He even submitted a lengthy 27-page document to support his argument. Unfortunately for him, the tribunal denied his request and scheduled a mention for the proceedings in August, followed by a three-day hearing early next year.

It's worth noting that Hobart has been suspended from his duties as a doctor since November 2021. The suspension was based on eight counts of misconduct, including the issuance of almost 600 COVID-19 vaccination and mask exemptions. In his defense, Hobart argued that the Medical Board had no authority to dictate what doctors can or cannot disclose to their patients. He also maintained that he fulfilled his duty of care by being honest with his patients and not causing them harm.

However, the tribunal's senior member, Elisabeth Wentworth, rejected Hobart's arguments and denied his application to dismiss the case. According to her written findings, the allegations against Hobart were serious and raised important questions about a doctor's professional responsibility in preventing and controlling diseases. This is especially relevant in Victoria, where strict vaccination mandates and mask rules were enforced during the pandemic. The city of Melbourne, where Hobart practices, had to endure six lockdowns totaling over 260 days in 2020 and 2021, making it the most locked-down city in the world.

All in all, the case against Hobart is a significant one, and the tribunal will continue to investigate the allegations against him. Despite his attempts to have the case dismissed, the seriousness of the accusations cannot be ignored, and the proceedings will go on as scheduled. It remains to be seen how the tribunal will rule on this matter and what implications it will have for the medical profession and public health in Victoria.
