Governor Newsom please VETO AB 2098

Politicians are silencing your Doctors to protect you from "information" they don't want you to hear. "AB 2098 will designate the dissemination or promotion of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or “COVID-19,” by a physician or surgeon as unprofessional conduct, allowing the Medical Board to take action against such physician or surgeon." Meaning, if your doctor has a different approach or opinion than the one viewpoint of Government/CDC recommendations, your doctor will be disciplined and possibly lose his/her license. Please take a minute to click and send email to Governor Newsom today. (Please edit message text in your own words.)

Governor Newsom,

Please VETO AB 2098. This bill goes after our trusted, licensed doctors and surgeons who understand that the science is never settled and continue to seek and share the best treatment practices for their patients. Additionally, it infringes on a doctor's right to make educated and individualized decisions about their patient's health and treatment, with the constant worrying that they will be subject to disciplinary action for thinking outside the box.

This bill causes government interference in the doctor-patient relationship. Everyone has a different definition of "misinformation" and "disinformation." The provisions of this bill could result in physicians being punished simply for doing what they believe is best for their patients and sharing legitimate information necessary for their patient to make a true risk/benefit analysis but those who want everyone vaccinated no matter what would consider to be "misinformation." The bill creates unnecessary and egregious governmental interference and regulation on health care professionals who undergo extensive training and education which gives them the knowledge and ability to act in the best interest of their individual patients, who have differing needs and concerns. For example, a physician may believe a particular patient's risk of experiencing Myocarditis (heart inflammation) is not worth getting the COVID-19 vaccine. The provisions of this bill could result in such a physician being punished. Even the vaccinated can still catch and spread COVID-19, and if a physician talks candidly about vaccine failures, this bill could result in the physician being sanctioned for professional misconduct.

The bill's provisions aren't limited to the actual practice of medicine either. Terms such as "misinformation" and "disinformation" are not well-defined. This bill could punish a doctor simply for making his or her concerns, findings, or personal opinions public if they go against the status quo or CDC recommendations. Even if a doctor advises a patient in a way that does not harm and even improves a patient health, they may still be punished for care provided. This is unreasonable when there are already laws in place to reprimand doctors for malpractice.

Please vote VETO AB 2098.

Thank you,

Agreement
