A doctor in Berlin, Germany was sentenced to two years in jail for illegally writing over 4,000 exemptions from wearing face masks during the Covid-19 pandemic, ABC News reports.
In addition to the prison sentence, a regional court in the southwestern town of Weinheim handed her a three-year work ban and a 28,000 euro ($29,550) fine - the amount she received for issuing the certificates. Her office assistant was fined 2,700 euros.
During the trial the defendant had argued that wearing masks was harmful to people’s health.
This. She is not wrong.
