  1. Did I get the question right? I thought she said he agreed until September but he never addressed that directly. Was there an agreement until then or was she misinformed?

    1. I understand that he has postponed his retirement twice now and is only now moving forward with his retirement as there is a successor in place. I’ve heard this from many sources, I think the reported worded her question incorrectly as per date and he clarified by providing more dates in his answer.

  2. Eyestrain from reading scr!pts attributing to the earlier departure?

  3. See ya, have a nice retirement. Bring on the next doctor so we can get on his back right away.

    1. They’re all working for the establishment. If they even DARE tell what they think, they’ll find an excuse to revoke his license and he’s fucked. If he does retire, then we might hear him telling the truth on various internet podcasts.

    2. The incoming fellow is evidently a Zero COVID fanatic. Which means say hello to summer lockdowns! Yay!

    1. no probs, if a Liberal is elected he’ll be out in 1 month……..no need for actual charges…..internet court is enough.

    1. he clearly knows something big is lurking ahead (super virus), better resign now than be liable later xD

    1. yes he knows something big is lurking ahead (super virus), better resign now than be liable later xD

  4. He’s going to have a very sweet retirement thanks to taxpayers. The new guy is even worse wants more lockdowns.

    1. And just so happens to be an “expert” in “bio-terrorism”. Worse is coming.

  5. He doesn’t have to read what they tell him to anymore? He must be relieved now that he doesn’t need to pretend to know what’s going on.

  6. I only read what they put in front of me I don’t know why I have all these papers and they make absolutely no sense to me whatsoever…..
