This is what the Maine Medical Board had planned for me--the only sensible thing was to voluntarily give up my license.

Dr. Sue McIntosh freely gave out vaccine and mask exemptions to all comers--ethically, since experimental therapies by law are voluntary. Connecticut suspended her and sent it out to the press

Dr. McIntosh was also in her seventies, and she went out with a bang, encouraging the people of Connecticut to share her exemption letters with others. According to the New Haven Register,

The exemption paperwork that McIntosh would mail back included explanations of what various exemptions would be, such as cancers, autism disorders, autoimmune disorders and others, and how to fill out the exemption paperwork, documents said.

“You may copy and distribute as many forms as you wish to anyone,” the instructions provided by McIntosh said. “Keep blank copies for yourself for future use.” She ended the instructions with “Let freedom ring!” the documents said.

Below is what the state of Connecticut told the press. It was really all about the messaging to other doctors. Are we surprised?

Durham Physician Voluntarily Surrenders License To Practice Medicine

HARTFORD, Conn.—Durham physician Sue Mcintosh, MD, voluntarily surrendered her license to practice medicine Friday morning to officials at the Connecticut Department of Public Health.

Dr. Mcintosh’s license was suspended last week following a unanimous decision by the Connecticut Medical Examining Board. She was charged with providing fraudulent medical exemption forms through the mail. DPH received an anonymous complaint alleging that Dr. Mcintosh was providing the exemption forms through the mail related to COVID-19 vaccines, general vaccines, COVID testing, and requirements to wear facial masks. Dr. Mcintosh provided these forms without ever seeing a patient and the paperwork was sent to anyone who provided a self-addressed stamped envelope to her.

“The results of this investigation send a strong message that Dr. Mcintosh’s actions are totally unacceptable,” said DPH Commissioner Manisha Juthani, MD. “I commend the staff of our Practitioner Licensing and Investigations Section for their due diligence initiating this investigation and for their dedication to the health and safety of our residents.”
