Protest held in support of GP Marcus de Brun who is facing inquiry over views on pandemic measures
Briefly

Dr. de Brun, a Dublin GP, is facing professional misconduct allegations for not supporting public health guidelines during the pandemic. His hearing is postponed until July, while protestors emphasize the need for doctors' freedom to express views. Dr. de Brun previously criticized the government's handling of the pandemic, particularly regarding nursing homes, stating that vulnerable populations were neglected. In contrast, the European Medicines Agency insists Covid vaccines are crucial in preventing severe disease. The situation is aggravated by the arrival of a new Covid variant, raising concerns about public health policies.
Dr de Brun, appointed by Simon Harris, claimed the most vulnerable during the crisis were nursing home residents, an evident point according to him.
Protesters supporting Dr de Brun demand a thorough investigation into Covid-19 policies, emphasizing the need for doctors to freely express their opinions.
The European Medicines Agency affirmed that Covid vaccines are vital in preventing severe illness and death, highlighting their role in safeguarding particularly vulnerable populations.
With the new fast-spreading Covid variant NB.1.8.1 arriving in Ireland, the urgency for transparent discussions on vaccination and public health policies is emphasized.
