Sherri Tenpenny, DO, had her license suspended indefinitely last summer
Sherri Tenpenny, DO, the Ohio physician who claimed COVID vaccines can magnetize people, had her medical license reinstated last month, according to the State Medical Board of Ohio.
Tenpenny's license was suspended indefinitelyopens in a new tab or window in August 2023, but was reinstated during the April 10 board meeting, a spokesperson for the board confirmed to MedPage Today.
"Sherri Tenpenny has met the Medical Board's conditions for reinstatement, including submission of an application for reinstatement, payment of her fine, and certification of cooperation with the board's investigation to date," the spokesperson said, noting that the reinstatement is "effective upon the processing of documents."
Two board members voted no, two members abstained, and seven voted in favor of reinstating Tenpenny's license, though one member noted that her vote was "a reluctant 'yes,'" according to a recording from the board meeting.
The board had suspended Tenpenny's license indefinitely after she failed to cooperate with an investigation into public comments she made about COVID vaccines, MedPage Today previously reported. She was also fined $3,000.
The board launched its investigation into Tenpenny after receiving some 350 complaints about comments she made to state lawmakers in 2021. Those comments included charges that COVID shots can cause people to become magnetized, or create "an interface with 5G towers," according to board documentsopens in a new tab or window.
Initially, Tenpenny did not comply with the investigation by not responding to board outreach. Ultimately, her lawyer sent the board a letter stating that she would not respond and that declining to "cooperate in the Board's bad faith and unjustified assault on her licensure, livelihood, and constitutional rights cannot be construed as an admission of any allegations against her."
The board issued Tenpenny a citation in September 2022 for failure to cooperate with the investigation, claiming that she didn't comply with a subpoena and failed to truthfully answer questions asked by a board investigator. She then requested an administrative hearing that was set for April 2023, where she submitted her defense in writing to the board.
Still, the board voted to suspend her license indefinitely because she "refused to cooperate" with the board investigation. "And that refusal was based on her unsupported and subjective belief regarding the Board's motive for the investigation," according to board documents. "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."
Tenpenny was first licensed to practice osteopathic medicine in Ohio in 1984. In 1994, she founded the Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center in Middleburg Heights.
In 2021, she was named as one of the "Disinformation Dozenopens in a new tab or window," a list created by the Center for Countering Digital Hate focusing on 12 people who were responsible for almost two-thirds of anti-vaccine content on social media.
Do we still have shills for the death serum on here?
She was an anti vaxx loon long before COVID
You could roll around the beach and find gold...

There are still a few who dugwaydeepintothewildcat arena.
Not sure what she meant by “magnetize people” but she was right to discourage people from taking those awful shots.
My very smart MD didn’t recommend them either.
Great!
Looking forward to more magnetic thoughts from her!
Isn’t she the African witch doctoress?
good for her, i’m glad she survived the leftist, Big Med, cancellation turkeys.
Instead, they give their very biased view of what she said.
One of the early conspiracy theories is that the vaccine could turn you into a magnet.
21.8 million excess deaths — that’s the world estimate as of October 24, 2022, dating back from January 1, 2020. That number was sub 5 million before the vaccine rollout, and although confirmed COVID deaths have flattened out, cumulative excess mortality continues to rise. And that estimate of 21.8 million excess deaths could very well be as high as 28 million.
Did they pole people about that?
I don’t know about getting magnetized, the vaccine made me invisible.;)
She was spot on about Covid while FRoctors were posting false info.
I’m curious as to ho many Dr.s had their licenses lifted indefinitely for public comments before Covid came along?
Pole people, good one.
They’d be really fun at a party, when playing toss the anvil.
I was thinking about this today. First do no harm used to be the motto of the medical profession but now it’s how much 💰💰💰are the pharmaceutical companies going to give me to prescribe their drugs. I always appreciate a Doctor who doesn’t take the bribe. Just like politicians who don’t take the bribe, they seem to be few and far far between.
We were talking about the pastors who went along with the idea that you should be afraid of some virus, that nobody knew exactly what it was and take this experimental shot right now or you’re gonna die or kill somebody.
I always thought that Jesus said fear not. But I guess the pastors don’t even believe that stuff anymore. They have the government to take away their 501(c) status, if they speak wrongly.
I hope that we learned something from all this. Like maybe do not comply until you’ve done your research and maybe not even then. If we didn’t learn this, then we are in big trouble as a society.
