A Bay Bulls family doctor has been cautioned by Newfoundland and Labrador's medical regulator to stop encouraging people to disobey chief medical officer of health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald's health orders during the pandemic. In a Facebook post from Aug. 21, 2020, Morry falsely compares the dangers of COVID-19 and influenza. (CBC)He said he was cautioned last summer, and that he has since toned down his Facebook posts. And he was cautioned to "cease encouraging members of the public to breach orders of the chief medical officer of health issued pursuant to the Public Health Protection and Promotion Act." Back in Newfoundland and Labrador, the College of Physicians and Surgeons declined to provide any more details about why they cautioned Morry.
