For instance, if your doctor implies the vaccine prevents infection or spread - report them.

Right you are! The truth is not subject to political winds, but time itself. This is one of the main reasons we have the First Amendment.

Shades of the French revolution, more like Robespierre than Jefferson.

California’s Legislature on Monday approved a bill that would allow regulators to punish doctors for spreading false information about COVID-19 vaccinations and treatments...

How about this little snot?

This has been narrowed from the original proposal, but still appears to be a clear violation of the 1st amendment. But that’s a thin shield where the 9th circuit holds sway.

“Trying to strike a balance between free speech and public health.” It is best to start with a big lie. It makes it easier to force small lies on people as well.

My doctor said the vaccines were “safe and effective”. I guess she’s guilty, right? /s/

Wow history repeating itself!😢 I never thought our beautiful beloved country would turn into a Nazi Germany run by nothing but left-wing rat Gestapos. God have mercy on this country if we don’t take both chambers in November. For sure conservatives will end up in concentration camps for disagreeing with that evil nazis Lois Lerner! Don’t laugh it’s not too far-fetched it’s just around the corner! 87,000 brown shirts at Lerner’s disposal…what do you think they’re are for? They are going to round up all the Christians, conservatives, Jews, or anyone else that stands in their way of their communist utopia world! Instead of a yellow star they’re going to put a tattoo on our arms and herds us like cattle to the neatest camp where they will eliminate the elderly and children first! Don’t think for one minute this is Tom foolery they mean business!!

And who determines what’s false information? A board selected by NusomeGrusome?

“Trying to strike a balance between free speech and public health...”

Oh yeah, the NYT has a long history of balancing the right of free speech with any number of other issues.

They've really furrowed the old collective brow over that one many a time.

It is unconstitutional to make a law that says “You can’t disagree with us”.

You can’t have a third-world state with first-word doctors, anyways.

So now another government is in the business of deciding what Truth is. If they paid any attention to history they'd know what ugly precedents are out there. But maybe they considered those travesties to be guides rather than warnings.

Ideally defendants will be able to force the government to "prove beyond a reasonable doubt" to juries what it claims to be truth, leading to a regular cascade of embarassing defeats for government "ministry of truth" efforts. But the momentum is the other way - that they will be able to make spurious claims of "truth" that are largely appeals to authority and blind faith in their ideological commitments, with any dissent banned automatically.

“False information” is anything the Ministry of Truth doesn’t like.

Bingo. Like a man cannot become a woman.
