When the COVID “pandemic” struck, she—like many—was unaware of the full extent of pharmaceutical influence and the dangers associated with the “vaccines.” That changed when she began to hear the many stories of relatives injured, friends disabled, and loved ones found dead without warning.For Dr. O’Connor, these accounts were not just isolated tragedies but formed a pattern of suffering that contradicted official assurances of safety. Acting to defend people from the dangerous injection campaign, she continued to provide exemptions to those who sought them.However, the College of Physicians and Surgeons eventually learned she was issuing exemptions, prompting an aggressive investigation. The College demanded access to every patient chart connected to her exemptions. She explains how when she refused to violate patient confidentiality, investigators were dispatched to locate her records—having been authorized to visit her clinic until late at night. Dr. O’Connor describes how one night four investigators entered her office uninvited, searched cabinets, and even left warrants with her colleagues. For a time, Dr. O’Connor continued issuing exemptions, unaware that the College had secretly issued an order prohibiting her from doing so. When the College later accused her of violating that order, she was able to prove that she had never been notified of it, and those specific charges were withdrawn.However, the College proceeded with broader allegations of professional misconduct, and on December 23, 2021—just before midnight—her medical license was suspended.In January 2022, she was brought before the Ontario Superior Court, where a judge ordered her to surrender her patients’ charts. Dr. O’Connor refused, unwilling to violate confidentiality, and was subsequently threatened with contempt of court and the possibility of jail time. Months later, without explanation, the College dropped those charges.Though stripped of her license, she refused to abandon her principles. Today, she works as a greeter at Walmart, where she continues to share her story and affirm her belief that no authority has the right to violate conscience or the sacred bond between doctor and patient.
