I tend to agree - to a degree. Because doctors are licensed, they don’t have free speech. I used to be a real estate agent. We were licensed. If I said, in an ad, that a house was in a homogenous neighborhood, or said it had a “family room”, that was forbidden. I could have lost my license. But the average person can say it at will.
So the key is the use of the word “consensus” in the statement. That is patently absurd. Those who embraced the consensus, kicked a rather famous inventor out of the Catholic church a few centuries ago because he disagreed with the consensus.
OTOH, if the doctor really IS giving deadly disinformation, that is what civil lawsuits are for, as you pointed out.
This is just another reason to get out of California.
Bull****.
They've got it. They're too gutless to speak.
As for risking their licenses, if they'd stuck together and spoke out about what Deep State was doing, what was Deep State going to do?!
Fire them all?!
Unfortunately for us all, they've refused to challenge Deep State.
Note to any docs who refuse to bow to Deep State: Here's a deal...Agree to treat me, I'll pay in cash and sign any liability waiver you like. If Deep State yanks your paper, I'd still see you for consults because I'd want your opinion as a trust but verify if I have to see one of Deep State's docs.
