A federal court has issued a preliminary injunction against the state of California regarding California’s new law that attempts to require doctors to adhere to COVID orthodoxy when they discuss treatment with their patients. Here is an excerpt from an article by FOX News:
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.””
Doctors said the law violates their First Amendment rights because it impedes their ability to communicate with their patients during treatment. . . .
Doctors also argue that “contemporary scientific consensus” is “undefined in the law and undefinable as a matter of logic.”
I checked each of the following websites and you won’t read a word about this important court ruling in the NYT, MSNBC, CNN, NPR or the Washington Post.
