Summary
The State Medical Board of Ohio suspended osteopathic physician Sherri Tenpenny's medical license in August 2023 after she declined to cooperate with an investigation triggered by her 2021 statehouse testimony about COVID-19 vaccines.
Full report
In June 2021 Dr. Sherri Tenpenny testified before an Ohio House committee making claims about COVID-19 vaccines, including that they magnetized recipients. The State Medical Board of Ohio opened an investigation. When Tenpenny declined to sit for a compelled interview, the Board suspended her license indefinitely on August 9, 2023 for failure to cooperate rather than for the underlying statements. A Franklin County judge upheld the suspension in 2024.
