A B.C. doctor facing discipline for his opposition to COVID-19 vaccines is trying to raise $100,000 before his hearings next spring.Dr. Charles Hoffe sounded the alarm early about possible dangers of the COVID jab based on observations of his patients. He informed authorities and wrote an open letter sharing his concerns to the provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.Shortly after, Hoffe's hospital privileges were revoked, cutting his income in half. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. investigated him for publicly expressing that Ivermectin can be used to treat COVID-19, and that COVID-19 vaccinations can cause microscopic blood clots that may cause serious neurological harm, female infertility and a high number of deaths. Hoffe had seven patients with neurological side effects that persisted for months after Moderna vaccination.Hoffe submitted to authorities at least 14 reports of COVID-19 vaccine harms within his own practice, only to find them refused without investigation. The doctor did not give anyone a COVID-19 vaccine, but conducted D-dimer tests a few days after some patients received them. The tests found blood clots in a majority of patients. However, a forest fire destroyed 90% of Lytton, B.C. and his doctor's office, ending his study.Hoffe must now face the disciplinary tribunal of the College. At worst, he could lose his medical licence.The college applied to have the tribunal pre-emptively agree with the College's version of the facts, before the disciplinary hearing even started. This would have shut down Hoffe's arguments before he even had a chance to present them. Hoffe's lawyer succeeded in having this attempt overturned.Hoffe's disciplinary hearing was scheduled for last October after legal manoeuvres that delayed the hearing and increased his legal bills. However, Hoffe's lawyer couldn't attend the October date the College wanted. According to Hoffe, the tribunal refused to change the date and said he should get another lawyer.After stalling for several months, hearings were finally moved to spring 2025. They will sit for one week in April, another in May, and another in June to accommodate testimony by eight experts called on by the college to testify, as well as eight by Hoffe.Former MP Derek Sloan is fundraising for Hoffe through his "Funding the Fight" campaign which has a video channel on Rumble with the same name.In a recent email to raise attention and funds for Hoffe, Sloan wrote, "This is a critical hearing that impacts freedom of speech, the autonomy of physicians, and the authority of unelected regulatory bodies. It is tremendously important for health freedom and choice all across the country."Sloan, who is a lawyer, also commented, "It's clear that the 'process' is as much a punishment as the end result!" He added, "In my opinion, it looks like the college wants to shut Dr. Hoffe up for good, and bankrupt him in the process."Hoffe expects his legal expenses will hit $100,000. Sloan is accepting e-transfers on Hoffe's behalf at fundingthefight@proton.me under the password "Freedom" and "Dr. Hoffe" in the memo line."It's an absolute shame that honest, ethical doctors can be hauled before a tribunal, have their license and livelihood suspended, and be forced to pay tens of thousands of dollars in costs for their troubles. The system isn't fair. But not fighting isn't an option. When you're surrounded by bullies, doing nothing is the worst thing you can do," Sloan said. Sloan believes the college enjoys a process slanted in its own favour."The College of Physicians, through its investigative and tribunal arms, is effectively investigator, judge, jury, and executioner. They win most of their cases, using a team of lawyers to do it, and then can saddle the doctor with the costs of it all," Sloan said. "We're not going to let this happen."
