‘Physician Misinformation Bill’ Takes Effect in CA, Doctors May Lose Licenses if Advising Risk of mRNA
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (FLV) – The “physician misinformation bill” went into effect this week for California, which prohibits physicians from discussing the risks of mRNA COVID vaccines to patients without potentially losing their license to practice.
In September, California Gov. Gavin Newson signed AB-2098, also known as the “physician misinformation bill.” The bill went into effect on Jan. 1 and states that the “spread of misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19 vaccines has weakened public confidence and placed lives at serious risk.”
The bill states 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.”
The bill also states that the Federation of State Medical Boards has “released a statement warning that physicians who engage in the dissemination of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation or disinformation risk losing their medical license.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis announced earlier in December his petition for a statewide grand jury to investigate “any and all wrongdoing” in Florida with respect to the COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers.
DeSantis also announced a public health integrity committee will be established. The board will advise the public and provide oversight moving forward of the public health establishment.
DeSantis said “it is against the law to mislead and misrepresent,” referring to the vaccine manufacturers.
“It is against the law to mislead and to misrepresent, particularly when you’re talking about the efficacy of a drug,” DeSantis said.
In October, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced new mRNA COVID-19 vaccine guidance, advising against males aged 18-39 years old from taking those vaccines due to a reported 84% increase in the relative incidence of heart-related deaths.
Ladapo also warned about the risks of vaccinating “healthy children with no underlying conditions.” The surgeon general questioned the CDC on Twitter.
DeSantis has declared that no vaccine mandates would be legally permitted in Florida, despite recommendations from the Center of Disease Control. In 2021, DeSantis banned vaccine passports in Florida.
The state of California recommends any Californian aged 6 months and older to get vaccinated.
California’s COVID-19 website states: “Some young people have developed inflammation of heart muscle or membrane after getting Pfizer, Moderna, or Novavax. This is very rare. The CDC says the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the risks.”
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are “far less safe” than other vaccines based on an autopsy-based clinical research in a cardiology study.
According to the study, recently, unusual cases of (epi-)myocarditis after vaccination with mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccines have been documented. These were clinically observed and diagnosed by laboratory and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, predominantly in males under 30 years of age. Available short-term follow-up data suggest resolution of symptoms. However, some individuals required intensive care support or even died from acute heart failure.
“These deaths aren’t captured by other studies because these patients never made it to the hospital…mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are far less safe than any vaccines widely used,” said Ladapo. “When does sanity return to science? Why do scientists breathlessly defend this technology?”
Autopsies found that 5/35 people who died suddenly within 20 days of COVID-19 vaccination had myocarditis as a likely/possible cause of death.
