Dr. Roger Hodkinson

A Canadian doctor who remarked a few years ago that officials should be jailed for being complicit in the “big kill” caused by COVID jabs is getting help from one of the nation’s top pro-freedom legal groups to fight a medical regulator that has charged him with professional misconduct because of his criticism of the shots.

The Democracy Fund (TDF) said in a press release that it will be “defending” Alberta-based Dr. Roger Hodkinson in his “legal fight with respect to several complaints brought against him by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA).”

“The CPSA has charged Dr. Hodkinson with professional misconduct, alleging that he wrongly commented on the efficacy of masks and social distancing in preventing the spread of COVID-19, the usefulness of vitamin D in protecting against COVID-19, the necessity and unqualified safety of COVID-19 vaccines, and the COVID-19 testing protocol,” the TDF noted.

The complete list of the CPSA’s allegations, which are dated May 16 and can be found here, go back to 2020.

One of the allegations the CPSA brought against Hodkinson is from 2021 when it claimed he “participated in a media interview with Rebel News and identified yourself as a medical specialist in pathology and former assistant professor in the faculty of medicine at the University of Alberta and made statements regarding public health measures in response to the COVID 19 Pandemic that were unprofessional.”

The CPSO claimed that some of Hodkinson’s statements were “contrary to the Canadian Medical Association Code of Ethics and Professionalism, including one or more of the following sections 39 and 41; And further particulars of the unprofessional statement.”

Hodkinson will face a virtual Zoom meeting on November 18, 19, 20, and 21, “as the matter may be heard, to inquire into and ascertain the facts of the matter of a complaint against you referred to the Hearing Tribunal.”

Hodkinson’s attorney, Sarah Miller, noted of the CPSA case against him that it “continues to prosecute Dr. Hodkinson for expressing his opinions on the government’s response to COVID-19.”

“We are proceeding to a five-day hearing in November for the CPSA to hear and determine whether Dr. Hodkinson breached his obligations under the Code of Ethics and Professionalism,” she said. “The hearing represents a considerable use of resources to exercise authority over Dr. Hodkinson’s public expression of his closely held beliefs.”

In 2022, Hodkinson said that leaders in Canada and throughout the world have perpetrated the “biggest kill ever in medicine’s history” because of COVID lockdowns and vaccine coercion.

In 2021, Hodkinson and Dr. Dennis Modry publicly blasted the Conservative provincial government then led by Premier Jason Kenney for “intimidating” people “into compliance” with COVID-19 lockdowns and called on politicians to open society back up.

At that point, Hodkinson was very outspoken against COVID lockdowns.

During a public Edmonton City Council meeting in 2021, Hodkinson blasted government-imposed  COVID-19 measures, calling masks “utterly useless” and saying the virus is “not Ebola.”

His comments at the meeting were listed by the CPSO as part of his professional misconduct allegations.

At the time, LifeSiteNews posted a video of Hodkinson’s remarks on YouTube that immediately resulted in the suspension of LifeSite’s account for one week.

As it stands now in Alberta, current Premier Danielle Smith, who is the leader of the United Conservative Party (UCP), has promised that the province’s Bill of Rights will be amended this fall to add protections for people’s personal medical decisions that most likely will include the right to refuse a vaccine.

UCP MLA Eric Bouchard recently hosted a sold-out event titled “An Injection of Truth” that featured prominent doctors and experts speaking out against COVID vaccines and mandates.

“Injection of Truth” included well-known speakers critical of COVID mandates and the shots, including Dr. Byram Bridle, Dr. William Makis, canceled doctor Mark Trozzi and pediatric neurologist Eric Payne.

The COVID shots were heavily promoted by the federal government and all provincial governments, with the Alberta government under Kenney being no exception.

The mRNA shots have been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects in children.
