CA Doctors Sue Newsom/Med Board Over Law Censoring Med Advice; FTC Invents Regulatory Power It Lacks

CA Doctors Sue Gov. Newsom and Medical Board Over New Law Censoring Medical Advice

A new California law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom empowers the Medical Board of California to discipline physicians who “disseminate” information regarding Covid-19 that departs from the “contemporary scientific consensus.” NCLA has filed a complaint and motion for a preliminary injunction in Høeg, et al. v. Newsom, et al., asking the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California to prevent AB 2098 from going into effect. Mark discusses the new NCLA case against the Covid speech ban for doctors.

FTC recently announced a proposed consent agreement with Drizly, the alcoholic beverage delivery company, and its CEO, James Cory Rellas, for alleged consumer data breaches. Vec interviews NCLA Litigation Counsel Kara Rollins about the consent agreement.
