There is new legislation that passed in California that will intimidate doctors from speaking out against COVID hysteria and vaccines.
California’s AB2098 states that doctors who are deemed to spread misinformation or disinformation related to COVID-19 are subject to being charged with unprofessional conduct by a review board. In other words, if a doctor says something that the medical establishment doesn’t like, then the doctor may have his or her license pulled.
My hope is that more people examine what was previously a given. In this case, why do doctors need a license issued by the state to practice medicine?
In a true free market, the government wouldn’t be licensing such things. It doesn’t mean that licenses wouldn’t exist. Maybe Underwriters Laboratories or some other company that specializes in certifications would issue licenses. Customers could go to whomever they wanted, but could shop around based on the level or type of license that a physician possesses.
Since we have long been down the road of government-licensed doctors, it makes it easier for legislation like this horrid bill coming out of California. It basically prohibits free speech, and it stifles any debate within the medical or scientific community.
Consensus
The bill is written to say that misinformation is when you go against the scientific consensus. Of course, when they say consensus, they really mean the consensus of the state bureaucrats and those on their payroll.
It is interesting that the bill declares that, “Major news outlets have reported that some of the most dangerous propagators of inaccurate information regarding the COVID-19 vaccines are licensed health care professionals.” I can’t disagree with that statement at all. But even taken in the way it is meant, there would be no consensus.
Of course there will be consensus if this legislation is enforced. How could there not be? If you stray from the official opinion, then your career will be ruined. So by definition, the consensus will automatically be whatever the official board determines it to be.
And isn’t this really the problem with the state prohibiting any speech (other than threats of violence)? You can start with the most absurd example, but if the government doesn’t want you saying it, there is a reason they don’t want you saying it.
When governments try to make it a crime to criticize a war, then you know it is the people who are trying to shut you up who are the criminals. They are obviously trying to hide something or not wanting another opinion shared to the public.
In the case of vaccines, the people trying to shut you up are the criminals. They don’t want to engage in debate. They just want to censor. All they can do is repeat over and over that the shots are “safe and effective”. They are drones.
Who gets to decide what is misinformation? Who checks the checkers?
According to Biden’s press secretary, an extremist is someone who doesn’t go along with the majority. So I guess if you aren’t with the majority, then you aren’t part of the consensus. If you aren’t with the consensus, then you are an extremist.
Apparently Karine Jean-Pierre would have been an extremist in 1840, or else she would have been an advocate for slavery.
It’s amazing we have gotten to this point. The good news is that more people have awakened because of these tactics. The establishment has way overstepped their bounds.
If this California legislation holds, then expect more doctors to leave California. The people in California will live in a complete echo chamber. They can go to any doctor and they will be told the same thing. It won’t just be vaccines.
If millions and millions of Americans die from the COVID vaccines, it won’t matter in California. They will stick with their consensus of state-funded bureaucrats. It doesn’t matter what the facts are. The only thing that matters is what the consensus says.
If you live in California, does this make you want to stay there? I hope you are healthy and don’t need a doctor for anything important. You may as well have a robot treating you. You can just type in your symptoms, and it will spit out the drugs to take. It will all be approved by “the scientific consensus”.
