I demand that Senator @DrPanMD immediately take down his uncalled-for, slanderous assault against @DrJBhattacharya whose only crime has been to successfully challenge Senator/Dr Pan. Pan is frustrated that even with #AB2098, he can’t silence Prof. B because no license to revoke!

Senator @DrPanMD I respectfully ask you to engage in a 1:1 debate against Prof. @DrJBhattacharya, in person, on the science and rationale behind your policy proposals. You hold great power and with it comes immense responsibility to defend policies and LISTEN to dissenting voices

Moreover, Sen. @DrPanMD: we live in a democracy where we have a protected right to speak and participate in the process. There is no requirement to have an active license to comment on the ethics/illegality of a law. You vote on non-medical issues, don’t you?

Finally @Sen. @DrPanMD, now that the @POTUS @JoeBiden has declared the pandemic phase “over,” why single out COVID as the ONE disease that needs its own misinformation law? Shouldn’t we instead do, say, fentanyl misinformation instead? Many more young/healthy preventable deaths.

Sen. @DrPanMD I say all this with all due respect and invite you to contact me so we can chat professionally. I would love to hear your thoughts outside brief tweet and have some of my own thoughts to share. Thank you.

@drdrew oops sorry forgot to tag you as well. This has gotten out of hand. Politicians getting worried about a veto and are behaving inappropriately.
