Doctors who spread coronavirus lies could be disciplined for unprofessional conduct in California under a law signed Friday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The bill, AB2098, introduced by Democratic Assembly Member Evan Low, declares that a physician or surgeon commits professional misconduct if they disseminate"misinformation or disinformation" about the nature and risks of COVID-19, its prevention and treatment and the development, safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
It was the last remaining vaccine-related bill of note after the more controversial measures didn't pass. More than 80% of the population has been vaccinated with at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine but Low's bill said the spread of disinformation about vaccines"has weakened public confidence and placed lives at serious risk."
