They are muzzling us. #AB2098 muzzles doctors by threatening their medical license & livelihood if they don’t follow consensus opinion. In their fear & reactivity, the CA Legislature is creating a Ministry of Truth at @MedBoardOfCA to silence doctors who don't agree with them.

#ab2098 THE MEDICAL MUZZLE BILL is NOT about following scientific facts--it attacks critical thinking, healthy debate and transparency. The public has already lost trust in medical care. #AB2098 turns doctoring and doing sound science into a dystopian nightmare.

Doctors are afraid to voice true opinions about medical care, lockdowns & mandates. They are shackled by self-censorship. Instead of true critical thinking and advocacy from their doctors, patients are getting "flight, freeze or fawn" mode (cuz most are afraid to fight). #AB2098

A giant problem with #ab2098 is the phrase “consensus” opinion. If a wise doc disagrees with or questions the government or consensus shapers in caring for their patients, they may lose their license. Study your history--the scientific consensus opinion can be very wrong.

THE SMARTEST, DEEPEST DOCTORS AT THE FOREFRONT OF MEDICINE WHO CAN INTEGRATE LARGE NETWORKS OF DATA ARE ALWAYS IN THE MINORITY. #AB2098 muzzles these docs. #anenemyofthepeople #ibsen

Another problem with #AB2098 bill: “Standard of care” reflects the general behaviors of docs in any one community. It takes avge. 17 years (!) for new knowledge to be integrated into medical practice. “Standard of care” is not the same as medically/factually appropriate care.

#AB2098 destroys True Medicine by stifling innovative thinking and advocacy.

I urge any lawmakers who wants to discuss #AB2098 to contact me or any of the thoughtful doctors and scientists like @houmanhemmati @DrJBhattacharya and @akheriaty fighting against it.

@GavinNewsom must VETO #Ab2098 the MEDICAL MUZZLE BILL. Otherwise, he is creating his toxic legacy of medical dystopia.
