 Soon, the government will exert unprecedented control over what California doctors can say to their patients about COVID-19. We got to stop the disinformation pipeline. Essentially, it puts the CDC in the same room with the doctor and the patient. Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 2098 into law this September. And starting in the new year, doctors who disseminate what the state defines as misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus can face disciplinary action by the California Medical Board, including being stripped of their licenses. These are doctors who are licensed physicians who carry the same license as I do, who provide legitimacy to disinformation. It essentially ends your ability to combat bad ideas put out by public health because you have this looming power over you that essentially can end your career.
