Please support Wexford GP Dr Billy Ralph, who now faces losing his licence to practise for speaking out against the COVID lockdowns. Next Tuesday–Thursday (24–26 March), the Irish Medical Council’s legal team will present its case against him. The core allegation? That his social media commentary was “inappropriate” and/or “undermined public health guidelines.” Yet many of his statements — once condemned — now appear prescient: • “The pandemic is over, NPHET lack the expertise to analyse current data…” (Oct 2020) • “NPHET are a liability.” (Oct 2020) • “No change in deaths, so lockdown a complete waste of people’s time.” (Nov 2020) • “There is no public health emergency… There is a dire need for Irish people to wake up and take back their freedom.” (July 2021) • “Health services would be overwhelmed if everyone wasn’t vaccinated – not true. Vaccinate the vulnerable; everyone else gets a cold.” (Aug 2021) This case raises a fundamental question: should doctors be punished for dissenting views — even when time proves them right?
