"Washington and Idaho Regulators Crack Down on Doctors Spreading COVID-19 Misinformation"
Dr. Ryan N. Cole's medical license in Washington has been restricted to pathology practice only, following a hearing where the Washington Medical Commission found that he made false statements about COVID-19, vaccines, and ivermectin, and provided substandard care to patients. The commission also discovered that Cole misrepresented his education and training, and lied about advising against the vaccine. In addition to the restrictions, Cole must take medical education courses, complete an ethics course, pay a fine, and write a paper on professionalism, truthfulness, and honesty in medicine. His Idaho license remains unaffected.
