Attempts by radical Democrats to enforce a dystopian “anti-misinformation” law in California have been shot down after falling foul of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Mounting lawsuits against the state over the anti-free speech agenda have now eventually resulted in the law being repealed.
The hotly debated law sought to muzzle and punish physicians offering Covid advice to their patients that contradicts the mainstream narrative on treatments.
The bill was initially enacted in September 2022 and implemented in January after being signed into law by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom.
However, legal action has now brought the law to an abrupt halt.
The law intended to classify Covid “misinformation” as misconduct in the medical profession.
It authorizes the Medical Board of California to revoke the licenses of healthcare providers deviating from the prevailing scientific viewpoints.
Though a federal judge brought the controversial rule to a standstill almost immediately after its enforcement, the extent of its actual application remains nebulous.
Gov. Newsom offered no remarks upon signing a Senate bill to negate the contentious section of the Business and Professions Code.
The repeal should be finalized in January, precisely one year after the initial law rolled out.
The first lawsuit was initiated in California’s Central District by the Liberty Justice Center soon after Newsom rolled out the new law.
