A GP registrar suspended after shouting at an AMA conference that COVID-19 vaccines were killing patients is free to return to medical practice following a self-represented court challenge. 

Dr William Bay was suspended under emergency powers just weeks after he interrupted the 2022 AMA National Conference in Sydney during a presentation by then-Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly.

He called on attendees to “join with the people of Australia and stop forcing these vaccines on people who are getting killed by them” and accused Professor Kelly of “gaslighting” doctors.

The Medical Board of Australia suspended Dr Bay in August 2022 on the basis that he posed a serious risk to patients because his comments could undermine public health efforts.
