A general practitioner from Bas-Rhin is in the sights of justice after having posted on July 23 on her Facebook page a medical certificate allowing everyone to invoke a medical contraindication to wearing a mask. "Following the messages disseminated by (the general practitioner) on social networks", the ARS "seized the Prosecutor", the agency said.
"This certificate has no legal value", warns Jean-Marie Letzelter, president of the Departmental Council of the Bas-Rhin medical order. Dr Letzelter indicates that he alerted the ARS in “mid-April” of the behavior of the 60-year-old general practitioner, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, then having renewed the report a few days ago “with various documents, including this certificate” , new element in the file. "The ARS suspended (the doctor) on Monday," he said, information not confirmed to AFP by the agency.
"The mask is a total scam", estimates the doctor
When contacted, the health professional presents herself as "a health-conscious doctor who does not listen to consensus". Rather than medication, she explains treating her patients with "plants, essential oils and humanistic hypnosis."
“Suspension or not, that's not the problem. I am not aware. My problem is infants and the elderly, the health of the French. We are entering a dictatorship, ”she said. "The mask is a total scam and is scary," she continued, claiming to have posted her certificate on Facebook so that "everyone can choose for their health."
