Doctor Who Raised Link Between Covid Vax and Heart Problems Sacked
Consultant Cardiologist Dr Dean Patterson, the Guernsey doctor who called for an investigation into the safety of COVID-19 vaccines after seeing a spike in myocarditis cases on the island, has been sacked
ITV News has the story.
Consultant cardiologist Dr Dean Patterson has not been involved in patient care with the group since February 2025 and, after an investigation, the [Medical Specialist Group (MSG)] announced that Dr Patterson has been dismissed.
The MSG has not made the reason for this decision public but says: “Following the conclusion of our internal processes, we can confirm that as of March 19th 2026, Dr Dean Patterson is no longer a partner at the Medical Specialist Group.”
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, he said he wanted to open a debate about a possible link between increased cases of myocarditis – inflammation of the heart – following the vaccination rollout.
Dr Patterson pointed to a jump in cases of this condition in Guernsey, rising from five in 2020 to 25 the following year and remaining at a higher level of 22 incidences in 2022.
This dropped in 2023, when fewer vaccines were given.
Speaking to ITV Channel in 2024, he said: “People think I must have come to this conclusion just like that, but I haven’t.
“It’s been running on guts, instinct at first, not being quite happy, trying to speak to people, then hoping to prove myself wrong.
“I think the scientific debate has been stifled. People and doctors have been threatened and lost their jobs, I’ve had nursing staff at the hospital contact me and say they can’t speak out because of disciplinaries.”
Dr Patterson insisted that he is not an “anti-vaxxer”.
Both Guernsey’s Health and Social Care department and the MSG were quick to distance themselves from these comments, insisting that the benefits of the vaccination far outweighed any possible side effects.
In response to Dr Patterson’s concerns, the States of Guernsey commissioned an independent review by the Royal College of Physicians at the end of 2024 to investigate the claims.
A spokesperson from the MSG says: “The review found no evidence to support the level of clinical concerns raised by Dr Patterson.
“However, as a result of certain issues identified by the Royal College as part of the review, further investigations were undertaken by the Medical Specialist Group in the interests of the safety of our patients.”
It is not clear what those concerns were, but in February 2026, Dr Patterson was suspended from practising for a year by the independent General Medical Council (GMC), which regulates doctors.
This is an interim order while the Council investigates his fitness to practice and Dr Patterson is appealing his suspension.
