Northern Ireland Midwife Struck Off Over Covid Vaccine Baby Claims

Seana Kerr, a midwife from Northern Ireland, has been struck off the Nursing and Midwifery Council register following a series of misconduct findings related to her controversial comments about the Covid-19 pandemic. Kerr claimed on social media that the virus was a 'Trojan horse' and that babies were being attacked in the womb through vaccination, comments that went against recognized medical guidance. She also approached a pregnant woman, Patient A, advising against wearing face masks and receiving flu vaccinations during pregnancy, falsely warning that such vaccinations could increase the risk of stillbirth, which caused significant emotional harm to the patient and her family. The NMC panel found that Kerr's advice was unsolicited, unprofessional, given outside of a clinical relationship, and contradicted mainstream medical opinion as well as her employer's stance. Kerr had previously been suspended for 12 months in June 2024 before the striking-off order was made in June 2025. Her actions were deemed to seriously undermine public confidence in the midwifery profession at a critical time.
