A police investigation has been launched into a B.C. website offering false vaccine and mask exemptions for COVID-19 for a fee, after it was highlighted by Global News.
A police investigation has been launched into a B.C. website offering allegedly false COVID-19 vaccine and mask exemptions for a fee, after it was highlighted in a Global News investigation.
A spokesperson for the Chilliwack RCMP confirmed it is now investigating Enable Air, which works with unnamed “licensed physicians” to grant vaccination and mask exemptions for an undisclosed fee.
It comes a week after a Global News investigation detailed the vaccine exemption service, which has been linked to B.C. physicians Gwyllyn Goddard and Stephen Malthouse.
Goddard is based in Cultus Lake, an area under the jurisdiction of the Chilliwack RCMP.
Goddard’s phone number, listed on his website, can be matched to the mobile number listed in the HTML code under the “Message us on WhatsApp” widget on Enable Air’s website.
Goddard did not answer calls from Global News on Thursday.
But when contacted last week, Goddard said he had “no idea” what Enable Air is. When asked why his number was listed on its website, he said his phone number “is part of an email group that I sold into a company like 10 years ago and they’re all managed by one company, so I get a free cellphone basically.”
Goddard then said he had to go and hung up.
