Australia: Doctor Could Lose Medical License for Sharing Babylon Bee Articles

This is not who we are.

People are exhausted by democracy, and more and more, people are calling for a system that allows for freedom and prosperity.

Human Events:

A doctor in Australia may lose his medical license for posting conservative content online including articles from the Babylon Bee, a report from Caldron Pool has revealed.

Two anonymous complaints were lodged against Dr. Jereth Kok in 2018 over his social media content, after which he was placed under investigation by the Medical Board of Australia. He learned of the investigation 9 months later after the Board had scoured 10 years’ worth of his internet and social media content enlisting help from forensic specialists.

You needed “forensic specialists” to look through his Facebook account?

Why?

What skill is needed other than knowing how to read?

In their findings, they highlighted 80 Facebook posts they found problematic including 5 shared Babylon Bee articles. Other posts shared content from conservative creators such as Matt Walsh, Allie Beth Stuckey, and Katy Faust.

This is a clear attack on the values of who we are in a rules-based order

In 2019, Kok was told he would be immediately suspended from practicing medicine in order to protect the “public interest.” He has been on trial for professional misconduct since July 2024, a 5 year period past when he was suspended. The trial is set to end on October 14th when the fate of his career will be decided.

It seems like normal people are still not totally aware of the fact that you can have your life ruined over social media posts. It doesn’t seem like something you would assume would be real, so if you’re not following along closely, you just wouldn’t know it was happening.

It seems like you should get a warning, you know? Someone should tell you “actually, if you disagree with the government on the internet, we will completely destroy your life, so please don’t do that again.”

This is a threat to who we are.
