College takes on Facebook over anti-vaxxer death threats to a GP

The RACGP has urged the social media giant to ban bullying anti-vaxxers in the wake of intimidation of a Queensland doctor
Dr Wilson Chin.

The RACGP has demanded Facebook ban anti-vaxxers from the platform after death threats were made to a GP that forced him to stay at a friend’s house and caused sleepless nights for his colleagues. 

“A GP receiving death threats simply for doing his job trying to keep his community safe is completely unacceptable and I won’t stand for it,” said college president Dr Karen Price on Tuesday.
