Governor Gavin Newsom has repealed portions of AB 2098, a law that allowed the state to discipline doctors for spreading "misinformation" regarding COVID-19. Attorney Laura Powell explains that the repeal was likely a tactical move to avoid a definitive unconstitutional ruling in court. The discussion explores how such laws shift the doctor's obligation from the individual patient to "public health" collectives.

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2098, which allows the state medical board to punish physicians for disseminating "misinformation" related to COVID-19. The hosts label this the "no second opinion" bill, arguing it effectively silences doctors who disagree with government health edicts. They predict this legislation will be a significant political liability for Newsom's future career.

Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 2098 into law, which allows the California Medical Board to discipline doctors for spreading "misinformation" about COVID-19. Dr. Peter McCullough criticized the law as a major threat to free speech and the patient's right to a second opinion. Legal challenges have already been filed by groups like Californians for Good Governance to overturn the bill as unconstitutional.

Dr. Drew Pinsky discusses California Assembly Bill 2098, which allows the state medical board to discipline doctors for spreading "misinformation" regarding COVID-19. The law is criticized for potentially penalizing physicians who discuss peer-reviewed data on vaccine risks, such as myocarditis in young men, if it contradicts the official public health consensus.
