The California legislature has passed a bill that would punish doctors and other medical professionals for spreading purportedly false information about COVID-19 vaccinations and treatments.
If signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), AB 2098 would make health care professionals accused of spreading misinformation or disinformation about COVID-19 liable to disciplinary action from the Medical Board of California for "unprofessional conduct." That could include suspending or revoking a doctor's license to practice medicine in the state, according to the New York Times.
Democrats supporting the measure argue that the bill would address harms inflicted by the spread of misinformation, which the American Medical Association and other medical groups have claimed contributed to thousands of unnecessary hospitalizations and deaths.
"Due to their specialized knowledge and training, licensed physicians possess a high degree of public trust and therefore must be held to account," state Assemblyman Evan Low (D) said in a statement announcing the bill in February.
"The spreading of misinformation, of inaccurate COVID-19 information, contradicts that responsibility and threatens to further erode the public trust in the medical profession and puts all patients at risk," Low said.
The bill targets direct conversations between doctors and their patients. It does not address comments made online or on television. It also would not require the suspension or revocation of a doctor's license, but it gives that option to the medical board, which already holds licensing powers over doctors and may take disciplinary action against those accused of other sorts of "unprofessional conduct."

What happened to the First Amendment?
“Follow the science, which we will determine, or else!!”
A typical move by a communist state!
Fine, then make the gubmint directly liable for vaccine injuries and deaths
Re-education camps are next.
RECANT!!
“Fine, then make the gubmint directly liable for vaccine injuries and deaths”
The gov’t couldn’t care less. They’ll just pass a law that they’re exempt from any lawsuits.
Cool. The next industry the lunatics in charge, with their fop figurehead, will run out of the state will be the health care industry.
Maybe my barber will be willing to double as my doctor, like back in the day.
I don’t think this statement is valid any more: “Due to their specialized knowledge and training, licensed physicians possess a high degree of public trust”.
What the IDIOT politicians don’t understand is that after two years of Lies, PUBLIC TRUST is at ZERO. Their entire reason for this action is Worthless. People don’t trust Doctors or Politicians.
And Big Pharma decides what is misinformation and instructs the AMA?
Certainly the AMA doesn’t tell Big Pharma what is misinformation...that would be funny.
Can we contest a “fact?”
This is what immigration from China brought us. Table pounding, frozen faced doctrinaire screaming thugs who want to imprison any dissenters.
Hmmm...so let make sure that I understand this correctly. A government is out to destroy the most highly educated people in a society. Moreover these are people who are so selfless and caring that they have sworn an oath to protect the health and lives of Human Beings and put their own health at risk in order to help others. Man....this is just surreal. 2+2=5 Winston.
Seems likely to go down in a blaze of fury.
We need to get politicians out of the practice of medicine.
And these are the nutcases that call others fascists.
Any doctor that obeys this law is a fool.
The doctors and Californians to Newsom..”Heil✋ Hitler”! That’s all you need to know!
This is unconstitutional but California’s Communists don’t care.
Will doctors leave California?
and the take-over of heathcare is just about complete. The final straw provided by the COVID scam.
