US paediatrician’s suicide note suggests he falsified vax records

Parents may have sought out Dr Van Koinis as he was known to be a homeopathic advocate, says sheriff

A US paediatrician who took his own life had reportedly written a suicide note suggesting he had “regrets” in relation to falsifying vaccination records for children.

Dr Van Koinis, who was an advocate for homeopathic medicine, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in September last year.

This week, investigators released information about a suicide note, raising questions about the doctor’s vaccination records or even whether he gave fake vaccinations, according to media reports.

Police were looking into whether the paediatrician, from the Chicago area, had been falsifying documents for parents who did not want to vaccinate their children.
