Ontario doctor Kulvinder Kaur Gill has been criticized by fellow physicians and others after a series of tweets that they say spread misinformation about COVID-19. CBC has reviewed two email complaints about Gill's tweets, including one by a family doctor to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, which sets regulatory standards for doctors in the province. Another of Gill's tweets on the same day states, "There is absolutely no medical or scientific reason for this prolonged, harmful, and illogical lockdown." A screenshot of some of Kulvinder Kaur Gill's recent tweets, including a tweet that promotes hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19. Cohen said that Gill's tweets are setting the stage for people to reject a vaccine that could be very helpful.
