A California judge issued a preliminary injunction against a state law that empowers the Medical Board of California to discipline physicians who support opinions about COVID-19 that are not in line with the “consensus,” according to reports.

The law, known as Assembly Bill 2098, was set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2023. Under the law, the Medical Board of California and the Osteopathic Medical Board of California could discipline physicians who “disseminate” information about COVID that is not in line with the “contemporary scientific consensus.”

But in November, a group of five California physicians filed a lawsuit against California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration, saying the law violates their First Amendment rights and constitutional right to due process.

Aaron Kheriaty, MD, is listed as one of the physicians in the lawsuit, and on Wednesday he posted on Twitter that a judge granted their request for a preliminary injunction against AB 2098.

The preliminary injunction temporarily halts the implementation of the law while the case is tried in court. …

California’s one-party government never lets a little problem like obvious unconstitutionality stop it from passing a law.

As with the new trend to protect, support and validate transgenderism, government maniac authoritarians did and are doing the same with COVID.

4/ One more detail here: the preliminary injunction ruling also establishes that we five physicians have standing to challenge the law. This is important because a similar challenge filed against AB 2098 was dismissed based on a ruling that the plaintiffs lacked standing.

Interesting timing on that injunction.

Comes at the same time the UK says it will stop recommending CoupFlu vaxxes for healthy under 50s.

Hmmmm....

How do you form a consensus without discussion?

They are in tactical retreat.

Right now, it’s all about damage control. Rather than discipline, the first doctors to speak up will be professionally persecuted using any means necessary to send a message to the rest.

They’ll probably target O’Keefe now that he’s got the Pfizer tapes.

All textbook.

Worse, a ‘consensus’ - by definition - is merely an opinion which, for the record, is defined:

“a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge”
