A professor at Laval University in Quebec City has been suspended for the second time by the institution for comments he made regarding the risks associated with COVID-19 vaccination in children.
Patrick Provost, a full professor in the Department of Microbiology, Infectious diseases and Immunology at the Faculty of Medicine, said in a statement the suspension is effective from Jan. 23 to May 23 and will be without pay.
He says the decision was communicated to him on Jan. 23 in a letter that states he will get fired if found in contravention again.
“All that Laval University is putting me through is showing that a professor who doesn’t like you (first suspension) or anybody from the public who doesn’t understand or like what you’re saying (second suspension) or what you do can file a complaint against a professor and have him suspended without pay or even fired,” Provost says….
