California weighs punishing doctors for challenging 'contemporary scientific consensus' on COVID/ Just the News

Assembly bill promotes long-outdated information about COVID deaths in unvaccinated vs. vaccinated, however, rather than updated Omicron variant figures.

Disagreement with the "contemporary scientific consensus" on COVID-19 issues could be deemed "unprofessional conduct" for California doctors.

Democratic Assemblyman Evan Low's AB 2098 "may" be the subject of a March 17 hearing in the Assembly Committee on Business and Professions, where it was referred last week, according to the legislative history.

The bill, which was cowritten by five other California Assembly and Senate members, goes beyond regulating how California doctors can treat their own patients. It opens their statements about COVID — public or private — to review by the Medical Board of California and the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, with possible sanctions to follow.

"Existing law requires the applicable board to take action against any licensed physician and surgeon who is charged with unprofessional conduct," according to the legislative counsel's summary, and the bill would "designate the dissemination or promotion of misinformation or disinformation" about COVID as "unprofessional conduct," without specifying what's prohibited.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is seeking legislative funding for a related effort: a statewide department "dedicated to disseminating accurate scientific information, and countering false claims" about COVID, CBS 8 reported last week. The state is also airing "myth buster" commercials in 250 markets.

Several state medical boards are considering or actively investigating doctors for their claims about hot-button COVID issues, particularly around vaccines and alternate treatments.

Perhaps most prominent is pathologist Ryan Cole, who practices in both Idaho and Washington state and has allegedly prescribed ivermectin. A leader in America's Frontline Doctors, which challenges COVID orthodoxy, Cole was targeted by the Idaho Medical Association after he was appointed to a regional health board, though only Washington state has confirmed an investigation.

Maine went further in the case of internist Meryl Nass, who started her career as a biowarfare researcher. The state's Board of Licensure in Medicine not only suspended Nass' license to practice but ordered a neuropsychological evaluation of her. Some of Nass' claims have since been echoed by the CDC, including the higher risk of heart inflammation following two-dose vaccines and broad protection from natural immunity.

AB 2098 claims it's just adding teeth to a resolution passed by the California Assembly last fall that deems health misinformation "a public health crisis." 

HR 74 called on the state to curb "the spread of falsehoods," particularly those that lead people to decline COVID vaccines, reject "public health measures relating to masking or physical distancing," and use "unproven treatments."

The preamble to the new bill, however, promotes information that is long outdated.

"Data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that unvaccinated individuals are at a risk of dying from COVID-19 that is 11 times greater than those who are fully vaccinated," it says, referring to last summer's Delta variant wave without identifying the time period. 

Even then the death disparity between the two populations was narrowing, with vaccine efficacy plummeting the most for Americans 65 and older, the British Medical Journal reported. 

The CDC at the time was actively avoiding data collection on mild breakthrough infections among vaccinated people. It recently came under fire for hiding even more granular data, with an unnamed federal official telling The New York Times the agency feared the data "might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective."

AB 2098 is primarily concerned with statements about the "safety and efficacy" of COVID vaccines, but is written so vaguely it could ban dissemination of ongoing scientific research.

The South African doctor who discovered Omicron in November, Angelique Coetzee, said she faced physically debilitating international pressure to characterize the milder variant as more severe than the country's physicians were observing.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla admitted in January its two-dose vaccine had hit a brick wall with Omicron, with "very limited protection if any," while its booster only provided "reasonable protection" against hospitalization and death.

The California bill specifies "unprofessional conduct" as promoting false or misleading information about "the nature and risks" of the novel coronavirus, its prevention and treatment, as well as the "development, safety, and efficacy" of the vaccines. 

Medical boards shall consider four factors, but the bill text doesn't say all must be confirmed. They will examine whether the doctor "deviated from the applicable standard of care" and "intended to mislead or acted with malicious intent."

Then they will judge whether the result was "an individual declining opportunities for COVID-19 prevention or treatment that was not justified by the individual's medical history or condition" and whether the purported disinformation "was contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus to an extent where its dissemination constitutes gross negligence by the licensee."

Physicians told The Epoch Times the potential law threatens to chill ongoing scientific debate. 

Newport Beach's Jeff Barke has long challenged the state's supposed evidence for mask and vaccine mandates and argued against school closures but not the vaccines themselves. The "consensus" requirement violates the scientific process, which is "about sharing and debating ideas,” Barke said. 

Los Angeles psychiatrist Mark McDonald, who claims most of what he's written about COVID online has been flagged as misinformation or removed, told the publication he would sue the state if it tried to sanction him for his views. 

"I think when you stand up and you don't give an inch, in most cases, the bullies are actually cowards, and they will collapse," he said.

Assemblyman Low's office didn't respond to Just the News questions about whether the bill could punish physicians who are ahead of the curve on debatable issues such as the lab-leak hypothesis, efficacy of cloth masks and post-vaccination heart inflammation.

    3.) The Company that plans to ‘distribute Remdesivir’, ‘UNITAID’, a therapy for Covid#19 ‘Gates, Soro’s and Clintons have a Financial Interest’?
    One billionaire investor behind UNITAID is ‘George Soros’ himself . But why stop there? UNITAID is also financed by the ‘Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’ and also involves a partnership with the ‘Clinton Health Access Initiative’ (CHAI). And interestingly enough both UNITAID and Gilead Biosciences ‘supported’ Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 .

  5. There will be no scientific progress, let alone search for truth, when those who reason, let alone geniuses, are punished.

    Those who were taught to reject history and old books are reaping the consequences of devaluing history in science.

  7. When I was in college back in 1970s, a professor stated: The Ghost of Hitler lives in every Western Capital.

    At time, she had predicted US' collapse in a generation's time.

    Criminalizing actual science and scientific method, and by extensions -- and/or preceding and leading to this: free expression, the fundamental right on which all political rights spawn and in which science and its methods depend.

    We can say this softly, free expression and science have been interrupted, or even more on point: these, criminalized.

    And thus criminalized, those at odds with the "approved narratives": become criminals. . . face coercion, loss of job, loss of their social, political, economic and social-psychological rights, in short, their human rights, and become defined by the monsters and beasts in charge as no longer human beings.

    Conform or be ostracized, one way of putting it, or more clearly: Conform or become a slab of meat -- this, how Camus described, in 1950s, where the west was and was continuing to go.

    A slab of meat! In service of the monstrous neo-Western Empire's lust for control Uber Alles.

    This empire's party of chaos is over. . . and for now and some time to come, we will bear brunt of this collapsing, dying Monster and dying monsters always do the most damage --- now in total Denial this beast has lost its hegemonic ability to define for rest of world who is and who is not "Pariah". This, the concrete consequence of Russia's actions.

    And here we are at stage one.
    1. Denial and Isolation
    2. Anger
    3. Bargaining
    4. Depression
    5. Acceptance

    Should the coming Anger stage not result in Nuclear Calamity. . . .?

    Be that as it may. . . today, Munich's Mayor Dieter Reiter gave the world a lesson Reiter had not intended to give, seeing he is currently, I would say, medically/emotionally/psychologically out of his mind.

    A world renown classical music conductor -- director of the Mariinsky Theatre and orchestra, Russian citizen, an ethnic Ossetian, Valery Gergiev. . . . -- Dr. Nass I am sure will recognize immediately what this is all about -- Mayor Reiter stated as follows:

    "I would have expected him to reconsider and revise his positive opinion of Russia’s ruler. He has not done so. In the current situation, however, a clear signal to the orchestra, its audience, the public and the city council would have been indispensable to allow us to continue working together."

    In the current situation science and reason and logic and knowledge -- all interrupted!

    And yet those maniacs, our western lords and masters, that interrupted it --- this is not enough for these beasts!

    "Munich is parting from principal conductor Valery Gergiev. With immediate effect, he will no longer be conducting concerts of the Munich Philharmonic. Valery Gergiev has not spoken out despite my call". . . Reiter said.

    The mayor of Munich has parted ways with sanity. Woe to him, and the rest of us that are stuck with enduring the catastrophic and very painful consequences of the eclipse of Reason.

    Reiter perfectly symbolize war against human rights --- in the name of human rights, no less.

    NYTimes is proud, trumpeting in headline: "Valery Gergiev, a Putin Ally, Fired as Chief Conductor in Munich"

    The story by stooges says in part: [It is a stunning turnaround for Mr. Gergiev]

    This story gets to heart of how the mouthpieces of actual western terror, and their criminal imperialist agents operate -- in their own words.

    The stunning turnaround is growing recognition of who the actual enemies of the people are: NYTimes, empire and western terrorism's Chief Scribe in this country.

    No coincidence exact same agents of COVID Apartheid: now propping up dying beasts of western terror and hegemony, no coincidence at all.

    Their war targets artists too.

  9. It now seems clearer than ever that everything we’re experiencing was planned and executed with a profit motive in mind. Armed with this new knowledge, I urge you once again to reclaim your life, your freedom and independence, and resist this manufactured notion of a “new normal.” A new normal will surely be established if we persist, but it will be the converse of what the pandemic virus industrial complex is hoping for.

    We will resurrect medicine and science from the induced coma these fields are currently in, and usher in a new era of medical freedom, personal liberty, responsible and transparent government, fiscal stability and health care that actually promotes health rather than slow death. It may take a while, but together, we can do it. To get there, keep sharing information such as that provided by Martin in this mind-blowing interview in any way you can. In the end, truth will prevail. Believe it.

    'Pfizer Vaccine Goes Into Liver Cells and Is Converted to DNA: Study'!

    The messenger RNA (mRNA) from Pfizer’s COVID vaccine is able to enter human liver cells and is converted into DNA, according to Swedish researchers at Lund University.

    The researchers found that when the mRNA vaccine enters the human liver cells, it triggers the cell’s DNA, which is inside the nucleus, to increase the production of the LINE-1 gene expression to make mRNA.

    The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cell’s cytoplasm, where it translates into LINE-1 protein. A segment of the protein called the open reading frame-1, or ORF-1, then goes back into the nucleus, where it attaches to the vaccine’s mRNA and reverse transcribes into spike DNA.

    The whole process occurred rapidly within six hours. The vaccine’s mRNA converting into DNA and being found inside the cell’s nucleus is something that the 'CDC said would not happen.'

    “The genetic material delivered by mRNA vaccines never enters the nucleus of your cells,” the 'CDC claimed falsely on its web page titled “Myths and Facts about COVID-19 Vaccines.”'

    'This is the first time that researchers have shown in vitro or inside a petri dish how an mRNA vaccine is converted into DNA on a human liver cell line, and is what health experts and fact-checkers said for over a year could not occur.'
