Oregon doctor calls Covid ‘common cold’ and reveals none of his staff wear face masks in clinic

An Oregon doctor called Covid-19 a “common cold” and revealed that his staff members have not worn face masks throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

Dr Steven LaTulippe made the comments while speaking at a “Stop the Steal” rally in Salem, Oregon, last month, which was in support of President Donald Trump’s false claims that there was widespread fraud in 3 November’s election, according to NBC News.

“I want to expose what I call corona mania,” Dr LaTulippe told the rally’s crowd in a video that was shared to YouTube by the Multnomah County Republicans.

“I want you to know that I never shut down during the entire Covid season ... I hate to tell you this, I might scare you, but I and my staff, none of us once wore a mask in my clinic,” he said as people at the rally cheered.
