A GP suspended after being accused of issuing fake COVID-19 vaccine exemptions says demand for his services was so great he thought he would be investigated for breaching the 80/20 rule.

Dr Denes Borsos made the comments in an online documentary called Three Doctors Penalized by APRHA [sic] for following their Hippocratic oath.

It also features Melbourne GP Dr Mark Hobart and Sydney anaethestist Dr Paul Oosterhuis, who have also been suspended under emergency powers by the Medical Board of Australia, accused of undermining the public health response to the pandemic.

Dr Borsos was talking about his experiences in the days before police showed up at his clinic in Colac, Victoria, back in October, to disperse about 100 people lined up outside the practice wanting vaccine exemptions.
