Doctor quits after being outed for scheme to hand out blank COVID-19 and mask exemption cards

Physician Sue McIntosh has been officially retired after an anonymous tip to the Connecticut Medical Examining Board revealed she'd been handing out signed COVID-19 exemption waivers to anyone who wanted.

Business Insider reported Sunday that the medical board's investigation revealed the doctor had been "providing fraudulent vaccine exemption forms through the mail related to COVID-19 vaccines, general vaccines, COVID testing, and medical opposition to wearing facial masks," the report said.

Her patients were given the forms with her name, date and signature and all they had to do is fill out the reason for a mask or vaccine exemption.

It was also revealed that she told patients that they should "copy and distribute as many forms as they wish."

McIntosh was suspended, pending an investigation. A week later she resigned her license, said a release from the health department.

"Let freedom ring!" Insider said that McIntosh wrote in the instruction form with the waiver. She would then sign the waivers that also said to the patient "to practice hygiene, including sneezing or coughing into an elbow, handkerchief or clothing."
