A disciplinary hearing for a southwestern Ontario teacher accused of telling students they could die as a result of vaccination is hearing from a public health nurse who says she felt intimidated by the man's actions.
Angela Swick, a nurse with the Haldimand-Norfolk Health Unit, says Timothy C. Sullivan shouted at her and her colleagues when they visited the school on March 9, 2015.
Testifying at Sullivan's disciplinary hearing Tuesday, Swick said the teacher accused her of withholding information from students who were being vaccinated.
Sullivan denies those allegations, arguing he was warning students about the risks associated with vaccines.
The college is accusing Sullivan of professional misconduct for telling students they could die from vaccines and allegedly telling the nurse she was hiding information about the shot from students.
Sullivan says his issue is with informed consent rather than the vaccines themselves.
