Dr. Charles Hoffe is a family doctor and former surgeon in Lytton BC who has been the subject of disciplinary action by the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons (‘the College’) for publicly criticizing SARS-CoV-2, Covid-19 vaccines and the use of ivermectin as a therapeutic treatment for Covid.

The College alleges statements made by Dr. Hoffe are “misleading, incorrect or inflammatory and constitute professional misconduct.” Specifically, they allege he has “contravened standards imposed under the Health Professions Act, including but not limited to the Canadian Medical Association’s Code of Ethics and Professionalism”.

While his case continues, the College has attempted to have the disciplinary panel take judicial notice of certain ‘facts’.

Of the eight points they have sought judicial notice of, the panel has declined those referencing vaccines ‘generally’ being safe, viruses not discriminating, and the belief that Covid-19 is more likely to occur in, or become more serious for, those who are not vaccinated.

They have supported two points referencing the position of Health Canada on the use of ivermectin.

They have also approved the final two points with modifications: one implying Covid-19 can kill or cause serious side effects, and a second stating Health Canada had approved the Covid-19 vaccines, while refusing to support the addition that this approval constituted a ‘strong indicator of safety and effectiveness’. The panel held that the safety and efficacy of any drug is relative and can only be determined by evidence and cross examination, rather than one party’s assertions.

The College is claiming that, because public health officials declared something to be true, it is therefore an irrefutable fact.

We are pleased to know that the disciplinary panel has acknowledged this falsehood, expressing the need to ‘prove the facts they assert,’ and allow others ‘to challenge those facts and present contrary evidence.’

We support Dr. Hoffe in his efforts to restore truth and transparency to our health care system. He took an oath to protect his patients, a commitment and standard of care he is fighting to uphold.
