Doctor outspoken against vaccine mandatesAlong with advocating for the use of ivermectin, Bowden also frequently criticizes vaccine mandates on her social media accounts, with Mitby adding that"Dr. Bowden is not anti-vaccine," but believes"people should have a choice."The doctor herself is vaccinated, as mandated by the hospital for all physicians who work at Houston Methodist, the hospital said.
