An Auckland nurse has been suspended for 12 months and censured for spreading misinformation about Covid-19 vaccination, including comments that people vaccinated against the virus were “not 100 per cent human.” The nurse, Sarai Iva Tepou, made these claims during a radio interview in which she discussed the vaccine roll-out and its purported effects on DNA and natural immunity. The Health Practitioners and Disciplinary Tribunal found that Tepou’s actions constituted professional misconduct and were aimed at discouraging vaccination against Covid-19. The tribunal’s decision highlights the importance of accurate and evidence-based information regarding Covid-19 vaccination. It is crucial for healthcare professionals to uphold their ethical responsibility to provide accurate information and promote public health.
