Dr. Roger Hodkinson is the former Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons committee in Ottawa, he was once CEO of a large private medical laboratory in Edmonton, Alberta, and for the past 20 years has held the position as Chairman of a Medical Biotechnology company based in North Carolina currently tasked with selling a COVID-19 test. He is a medical specialist in pathology, which includes virology, who trained at Cambridge University in the UK — he is perfectly positioned to speak on this topic.
Hodkinson’s comments were made during a discussion involving the
Community and Public Services Committee and the clip was subsequently uploaded
to YouTube.
Noting that he was also an expert in virology, Hodkinson pointed
out that his role as CEO of a biotech company that manufactures COVID tests
means, “I might know a little bit about all this.”
“There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media
and politicians, it’s outrageous, this is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on
an unsuspecting public,” said Hodkinson.
The doctor said that nothing could be done to stop the spread of
the virus besides protecting older more vulnerable people and that the whole
situation represented “politics playing medicine, and that’s a very dangerous
game.”
Hodkinson remarked that “social distancing is useless because
COVID is spread by aerosols which travel 30 meters or so before landing,” as he
called for society to be re-opened immediately to prevent the debilitating
damage being caused by lockdowns.
Hodkinson also slammed mandatory mask mandates as completely
pointless.
“Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their
effectiveness whatsoever,” he said.
“Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signaling.
They’re not even worn effectively most of the time. It’s utterly ridiculous.
Seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people – I’m not saying that in a
pejorative sense – seeing these people walking around like lemmings obeying
without any knowledge base to put the mask on their face.”
The doctor also slammed the unreliability of PCR tests, noting
that “positive test results do not, underlined in neon, mean a clinical
infection,” and that all testing should stop because the false numbers are
“driving public hysteria.”
Hodkinson said that the risk of death in the province of Alberta
for people under the age of 65 was “one in three hundred thousand,” and that it
was simply “outrageous” to shut down society for what the doctor said “was just
another bad flu.”
“I’m absolutely outraged that this has reached this level, it should
all stop tomorrow,” concluded Dr. Hodkinson.
Hodkinson’s credentials are beyond question, with the
MedMalDoctors website affirming his credibility.
“He received his general medical degrees from Cambridge University
in the UK (M.A., M.B., B. Chir.) where he was a scholar at Corpus Christi
College. Following a residency at the University of British Columbia, he became
a Royal College certified general pathologist (FRCPC) and also a Fellow of the
College of American Pathologists (FCAP).”
“He is in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, and has been recognized by the Court of Queen’s Bench in Alberta as an expert in pathology.”
