Major Update in Ken Stoller’s Medical Board Appeal, and it’s not half bad

Major Update in Ken Stoller’s Medical Board Appeal, and it’s not half bad

Comments 13 comments

The judge did not issue a tentative decision in the case today because he wants an oral argument to discuss some issues. Here is what is on the judge’s mind in his own words: “Oral argument will be conducted remotely through the Zoom Application. The court clerk will provide counsel with the Zoom ID via email. **** At the time of hearing, counsel may address any issue raised in the legal briefs. In addition, counsel shall be prepared to address…

Breaking News: Indiana Federal Court Denies Preliminary Injunction to Indiana University Students Seeking to Overturn the School’s COVID Mandate

Breaking News: Indiana Federal Court Denies Preliminary Injunction to Indiana University Students Seeking to Overturn the School’s COVID Mandate

Comments 0 Comment

An Indiana federal district court has just denied a preliminary injunction motion by students seeking to overturn Indiana University’s covert mandate. The decision is long and well reasoned. It also covers all the big points, including emergency use authorization. The plaintiffs tried to wrap themselves in recent Supreme Court precedent overturning religious restrictions in the Cuomo case, but the District Court did not buy it. Significantly, the District Court used a rational relationship test in its review of the IU…

Update on the California Medical Board cases against physicians for writing SB 277 medical exemptions.

Update on the California Medical Board cases against physicians for writing SB 277 medical exemptions.

Comments 6 comments

A lot is going on in this space and I will have some answers and timelines for a few of these cases, so let’s get to it. Ron Kennedy (not my client or case) As you know, Ron Kennedy’s license was put on probation with severe conditions a few months ago. I think many, most or all of the medical exemptions he wrote have been revoked because of the sanction order. Initially, he started to appeal the Board’s decision, but…

So the UC covid vaccine mandate came out, now what? (revised)

So the UC covid vaccine mandate came out, now what? (revised)

Comments 35 comments

Okay, the UC vaccine COVID mandate came out. One commenter put it succinctly: “get vaccinated, get an exemption , or get fired.” That says it all. Anyone who has been reading my posts knows that I been saying this for weeks and months, that the mandate is going to take effect under emergency use status. It just does not make any sense any other way, i.e. to wait until full approval/licensure. What is surprising to me is that there are…

Two Weeks From the UC COVID Mandate Policy and confusion is still the clearest fact

Two Weeks From the UC COVID Mandate Policy and confusion is still the clearest fact

Comments 4 comments

As anyone affiliated with the UC knows, the University announced that it will issue its final covid mandate policy on July 15th. Different segments of the community have received different communications depending on what school you are your children are affiliated with and whether you are a student or employee. I have received many requests for advice, but I tell everyone the same thing. First, I cannot give individual members of the UC advice or even those members who ask…

A Detailed Summary of Kelly Sutton’s First Hearing Day (6/14/2021)

For those of you who want a blow-by-blow of what happened at Kelly’s Sutton’s hearing, you’re in luck because Kelly took very detailed notes of the first two days of the hearing. (She testified on the third and final day and so didn’t take notes). I think we made some excellent and needed points, but judge for yourself. Tomorrow I will post her notes from the second day of the hearing which contains the testimony of our other two experts,…

My friend, colleague, and vaccine law guru/whisperer (and co-counsel on the case) just published in Bobby Kennedy’s Defender a detailed account of the evidence in Kelly Sutton’s hearing. I think we got in our licks and made the case for caution and medical exemptions in the eight cases before the judge. When you try cases, you can’t always remember what you ask and how the witnesses respond, so thanks for this Greg. Much appreciated. RAJ “California Medical Board Hears Testimony…
