Thomas Samuel Cowan is an American practitioner of alternative medicine, author, conspiracy theorist and former medical doctor.
[2] The probation period was due to end in 2022, but he renounced his medical license in December 2020, to become an unregulated "health coach".
[3][5][11][12][7] A video of Cowan's claims about COVID and 5G communication, made at an anti-vaccination conference which also featured Andrew Wakefield, quickly gained a widespread audience when it was promoted by multiple Facebook accounts.
It was viewed at least 650,000 times on Youtube before being taken down and was also popular on Instagram, where Keri Hilson promoted it to her 2.3 million fans before deleting the post.
[20] The health advice Cowan dispenses through his books is often based in pseudo-scientific theories, such as denying viruses cause disease.
