Gov. Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta, California Medical and Osteopathic Boards provided “no evidence that ‘scientific consensus’ has any established technical meaning,” and that the law provides “no clarity” on meaning of 'misinformation'
SACRAMENTO, CA – The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California granted a preliminary injunction that blocks a state law that would have allowed the state’s medical boards to punish and silence doctors for warning their patients about the dangers of COVID-19 shots and other information based on thorough scientific research but considered as “COVID misinformation” by state officials.
In Tracy Hoeg, M.D., PhD., Ram Durisetti, M.D., PhD. et al., v. Gavin Newsom, Governor of the State of California, et al., Judge William B. Shubb wrote a 30-page opinion in favor of the five plaintiff doctors. Judge Shubb determined that California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Medical and Osteopathic Boards provided “no evidence that ‘scientific consensus’ has any established technical meaning,” and that the law provides “no clarity” on the meaning of the word “misinformation.”
