Young Dr who ran covid shot clinic dies suddenly.

This is the 5th one I read about today….

A ‘gentle and kind' family doctor who was subjected to death threats from anti-vaxxers during the pandemic has died suddenly.

Hong Kong-born Dr Wilson Chin, who broke down in tears describing the abuse he received running a Covid vaccination clinic on the Gold Coast, passed away shortly before Christmas.

Dr Chin made headlines in January, 2022 when he described the impact of a false rumour, spread on social media, that two girls who fainted after treatment at Pacific Pines MedCentres, had in fact died.

The girls suffered no ill health impacts after fainting.

'I have been in touch with the parents every day since the children fainted, even before the news channels approached me,' he wrote in a Facebook post at the time.

'I can confirm they are doing very well and would like to ask everyone to respect their privacy please.'

But the centre became the target of a campaign of abuse, forcing it to opt out of an under-12 vaccination program and report calls and online threats to Gold Coast police.

'The death threats and threats from those out there are not worth us jeopardizing the safety of our staff,' Dr Chin told 9News.

The abuse included threats such as claims the centre was 'poisoning kids' and 'kid killers' worked there, according to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

Dr Chin had to stay at a friend's place because he was so concerned for his safety and there have been sleepless nights for fellow GPs, the practice manager and the other members of the practice team.

'[This] shows you how reckless anti-vaxxers can be,' Dr Price added.

'Facts, reason, and rationality don't matter – only their twisted agenda.'

On Wednesday, Pacific Pines MedCentres director Deon Raju confirmed Dr Chin had passed away.

He told the Gold Coast Bulletin the cause was a medical issue and 'not mental health related'.
