Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill, a Brampton-based pediatrician and immunologist, is pursuing an appeal after an Ontario Court declined to dismiss three cautions levied against her by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. These cautions were related to her tweets about COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccine efficacy posted in 2020. Dr. Gill announced her intent to appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal on the social media platform X, backed by Elon Musk, who has also offered to assist with her legal expenses.
Dr. Gill’s tweets included statements questioning the necessity of prolonged lockdowns and the need for vaccines, which were deemed by the college to contain misinformation. The court’s decision balanced Dr. Gill’s right to free speech with her professional obligations, opting to uphold the cautions.
As she prepares for her appeal, Dr. Gill reflects on the advice from her late mother, emphasizing the importance of truth and goodwill, particularly during challenging times like these.
