The State Medical Board of Ohio has suspended the license of a doctor who has offered criticism of COVID-19 vaccines.
The board suspended Dr. Sherri Tenpenny's license and fined her $3,000 because she allegedly refused to respond properly to complaints that poured in after she testified to state lawmakers.
The suspension is for an indefinite period.
"In short, Dr. Tenpenny did not simply fail to cooperate with a Board investigation, she refused to cooperate. And that refusal was based on her unsupported and subjective belief regarding the Board’s motive for the investigation," Kimberly Lee, a state official, said in the suspension order.
"Licensees of the Board cannot simply refuse to cooperate in investigations because they decide they do not like what they assume is the reason for the investigation," Ms. Lee said.
State law enables the board to discipline medical professionals for "failure to cooperate in an investigation conducted by the board."
Dr. Tenpenny said in a video after the suspension that she had cooperated with the board.
"We cooperated at every level. We looked at the letters; we responded appropriately and legally," Dr. Tenpenny said.
"My lawyers ... drafted responses appropriately and sent it back, and they go, 'nope, you didn't cooperate with us.' Well, I guess that just simply means that they didn't like the answers. But it didn't mean that I failed to cooperate."
Dr. Tenpenny graduated from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1984 and has been practicing medicine since then. The Ohio license is for osteopathic medicine and surgery.
The board said that it began investigating Dr. Tenpenny after receiving approximately 350 complaints following her June 2021 testimony to the Ohio House of Representatives Health Committee. The testimony included claims that the COVID-19 vaccines were causing people to become magnetized.
“They can put a key on their forehead, and it sticks," Dr. Tenpenny said at the time.
The doctor also raised concerns about side effects, including heart inflammation, that U.S. officials have since acknowledged are caused by the shots.
The board said it was investigating whether Dr. Tenpenny violated the state's Medical Practices Act.
The law says that the board "shall investigate evidence that appears to show that a person has violated any provision of this chapter," including making a false or misleading statement in relation to the practice of medicine.
Marcie Pastrick, a board attorney, said the complaints included allegations that, if true, would be violations of the law.
However, the suspension was because of Dr. Tenpenny's alleged refusal to cooperate as opposed to the allegations in those complaints.
Thomas Renz, a lawyer representing Dr. Tenpenny, was cited as telling the board that Dr. Tenpenny was declining to cooperate with what he described as "the board’s bad faith and unjustified assault on her licensure, livelihood, and constitutional rights." He said that Dr. Tenpenny's testimony was based on "factual reports by third parties," including peer-reviewed studies.
Dr. Tenpenny later told the board that it was investigating without any evidence that she violated state law, but the board noted the volume of complaints and how the law says that the "board shall investigate evidence that appears to show that a person has violated any provision of this chapter."
Dr. Tenpenny must submit an application for reinstatement, pay the fine, and cooperate with the board if she wants it to consider lifting the suspension.
Mr. Renz said that Dr. Tenpenny and her lawyers will fight the suspension in court.
"The board was mad because when they sent her things, we did what they said," he said in a video. "So if, for example, when the board sends out a questionnaire, and it says, 'you can either answer this or you can object, and if you object we can compel'—which means going to court to compel—we objected. Well, they didn't want to go to court to compel, because that would be very inconvenient."
Mr. Renz noted that the Ohio Attorney General's Office said that the process for such investigations would "break down" if authorities had to go to the courts each time to compel.
"This is one of the most shocking things I have ever heard," he said. "We need reform. We need political reform. We need to pass laws now."
Easy enough to prove, eh?
Think she just said that on hearsay?
I knew it didn’t look right... was just too lazy to check the spelling.
However, I wouldn’t be so fast to categorize her that way either.
I’ve seen too many videos of it being demonstrated, and clinical experts explaining how it actually CAN happen.
It has something to do with how graphene oxide can affect the body’s electromagnetic properties. (i.e. blood cells start stacking instead of pushing away from each other)
Not saying I’m sold... just that it actually does sound plausible... not lunacy.
What I find even more difficult to believe is the stuff about self assembling microchips and bluetooth signals coming out of graveyards...
and yet the patents for such technology are actually out there.
First they came for the truth telling doctors ...
Bayer Exec Brags experimental mRNA shots are experimental mRNA gene ..
Bayer Pharmaceuticals Division President Stefan Oelrich admitted were it not for the pandemic, the experimental injection may have seen an extremely high rejection rate.

“Easy enough to prove, eh? Think she just said that on hearsay?”
Actually, yeah. I think she saw a YouTube clip and mistook the internet for reality. And keep in mind, she wasn’t suspended for making those claims, but for refusing to cooperate with the investigation into those claims. And no, filing requested forms with lawyer’s claims that “I don’t gotta tell you nuttin’” does NOT count as cooperation.
There are plenty of absolutely sound medical reasons why mandatory vaccines were potentially and actually gravely harmful. We don’t need this crap impeaching our side.
The medical industry and carnies are not backing down from their mile long list of covid proclamations that all have turned out to be utter horse manure. They still think they are respected by an adoring public and they are not except for the Branch Covidian Cultist who will never stop with their death cult non-sense.
Whenever I hear the words “expert” and then covid/masks work/the covid vaccine works” I know I am in the presence of the village idiot and a carnie.
I'm a 'maybe' on the magnetism.
But the law provided a step past the 'correspondence' phase of litigation, with which the CoVID co-conspirators on the Board did not want to pursue. They are attempting to deny her legal rights. Indicates bad faith on their part.
Read the article.
She was given the option of cooperation or compulsion.
When she went for compulsion, they refused to compel.
Kangaroo court
When people choose to be stupid and to keep on being stupid, it’s often because they’re answering to something that takes control of their own will—something occupying a depth of depravity lower than but connected to stupid—evil itself.
When you allow evil to get hold of you, there is a point where you can’t get out of it.
Medi cal fascism.
“Do this or else you will be compelled and we will take you to court” is not giving someone an option between cooperation and compulsion. It is a warning that they will do everything in their power to force you.
Yes. Satan has control of me. Again /sarcasm.
Your attempt at humor is not effective.
It wasn’t an attempt at humor.
Then you used the word sarcasm without knowing what it means.
Could be, but I really doubt it.
But as you say, it could be.
Could be, but probably isn’t
Your ideology doesn’t allow for sincerity or honesty. It’s a great weakness, and demonstrates the low IQ in communism.
I guess I don’t equate Reagan & communism. Did I miss something?
