Three doctors are being ordered by the province’s top court to fully comply with an investigation the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is conducting into their practices, including reports of providing illegitimate medical exemptions for vaccines. All three physicians, Dr. Mary O’Connor, Dr. Mark Trozzi and Dr. Patrick Phillips, are under investigation for actions influenced by their beliefs that vaccines are a “misguided and ineffective way” to address COVID-19, according to the reasons for judgment issued by the Ontario Superior Court. Trozzi and Phillips did not attend their Ontario Superior Court hearing nor did they send anyone to appear for them. An investigator with the ICRC began examining the medical practices of these three doctors in the summer of 2021. In Phillips’ case the CPSO is also concerned about his use of social media, allegedly to promote misinformation about COVID-19 and post confidential information from the CPSO about its investigation.
