Dr Colignon summoned before the Medical Council on 18 January
A citizens' rally will take place this Tuesday, 18 January, at 7.45 p.m. in front of the headquarters of the Hainaut Medical Council [1], in support of Dr Alain colignon, who has been summoned to appear at 8 p.m. The summons follows a complaint lodged in March 2021 by Dr Michèle Gérard, an infectious disease specialist at CHU Saint-Pierre, on grounds concerning the prescription of Ivermectin, treatment advice relating to covid, and a discourse described as “anti-vaccine”.
In a letter of reply to the Medical Council, Dr Colignon states that his advice on the treatment of covid is “based on studies not polluted by conflicts of interest”. He also states that Ivermectin is prescribed in combination with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin “after a thorough anamnesis, after conscientious verbal contact with the patient and, if necessary, after a clinical examination”.
He also qualifies the anti-vaccine label attached to him, noting that “the SARS vaccines are far from being miracles” and that he has “never questioned their meagre performance, but the illegal and immoral way in which they are being implemented”.
Breaking the omertà
Contacted by Bam, Dr Colignon says he welcomes this summons as a real opportunity to argue his point of view and to question the position of the Medical Council and its silence on crucial points.
On early treatments, for example, he “believes that Dr Gérard and all the doctors who did not prescribe these early outpatient treatments, confining themselves to calming their patients' anxieties with paracetamol until they suffocated, will not be able to hide forever behind the shield of an incompetent government and of experts compromised by conflicts of interest to justify this unacceptable abandonment of ship”.
Essential questions
Dr Colignon fully intends to use his hearing to raise questions of medical ethics and patients' rights, in particular: the breach of medical professional secrecy in the context of the covid crisis; the fact that, in the absence of a vaccination obligation, “the patient must be able to consent to it freely, being clearly informed and without moral pressure”; and the conditions necessary for performing the medical act that vaccination is.
