Rick’s Second 2024 Covid Misinformation Litigation Update, and there is plenty to Talk About

Rick’s Second 2024 Covid Misinformation Litigation Update, and there is plenty to Talk About

So here is what’s going on, some good, but some not so good, but even the not so good presents some opportunities. To recap, on January 2nd, we filed Kory v. Bonta, which takes the battle against the Cali. medical boards to the heartland of their powers, those being the power that no man (or woman) shall challenge, the STANDARD OF CARE. The point of Kory is that there is no more of a legitimate Covid standard of care than…

The Next Cali Covid Misinformation Battle has Begun: Buckle up!

The Next Cali Covid Misinformation Battle has Begun: Buckle up!

As all Cali. First Amendment lovers know, on Saturday, September 30th, Governor Newsom signed SB 815 which repealed the physician covid misinformation law, AB 2098, enacted as Section 2270 of the Business and Professions Code. On Monday morning, October 2nd, we asked our judge in Bonta v. Hoang (one of two related cases in which Judge William B. Schubb granted a preliminary injunction barring enforcement of AB2098) to change course and stop the medical boards from trying to censor physicians…

The online hearing will occur on May 24-26, starting at 9:00AM PDT. The public will able able to hear, but not see the proceedings. We expect to have a few of the well-known medical and scientific luminaries who have similarly…

Next Up for me in the Covid Misinformation Wars: The Washington (State) Medical Commission v. Richard J. Eggleston, MD

Next Up for me in the Covid Misinformation Wars: The Washington (State) Medical Commission v. Richard J. Eggleston, MD

The Eggleston case is now the most important Covid misinformation case in the country, and that’s why I decided to jump into it. Dr. Eggleston is a retired ophthalmologist. He hasn’t seen a patient in ten years. His disciplinable offense according to the Washington Medical Commission is that he made some statements in the column he writes in a regional newspaper which the Commission thinks is “Covid misinformation” and shows “moral turpitude.” As far as I can tell, this is…

Where are the CDC and Medicare Whistleblowers?

Where are the CDC and Medicare Whistleblowers?

Whistleblowers and smoking guns are the holy grails in impact litigation. They rarely surface, but when they do, they can make a case. I am sort of surprised that there haven’t been more of them since the pandemic. I’ve heard about and interacted with or about a couple of them, but I haven’t found the real deal yet, i.e., someone with current, non-stale compelling information. I have some contacts in Congress. Now that the Republicans are back controlling one house,…

This is the best news report on the California Covid Misinformation Mess

This is the best news report on the California Covid Misinformation Mess

CHD’s Defender just republished what I think is the best and most comprehensive news report on the status of AB 2098, now Section 2270 of the Business and Professional Code, after Judge Shubb’s decision in our case (Hoang v. Bonta) and the related case (Hoeg. v. Newsom), save for one important fact: For now, and for at least until the 9th Circuit issues its decision on the McDonald appeal, and our Judge, William B. Schubb says differently, any California physician…

California Physician Alert: Be Very Careful About What you Say About Covid to New/Prospective Patients

California Physician Alert: Be Very Careful About What you Say About Covid to New/Prospective Patients

As you all know, AB 2098 is, for now, the law of the land in California. Hopefully it won’t be after our preliminary injunction hearing on Monday. I think all physicians should assume that the Cali boards (medical and osteopathic) will try to enforce the law. But there is problem: How are they going to find out who is spreading “Covid misinformation” to their patient? My guess or assumption is that current patients aren’t going to be the ones complaining….

The Downside which California Parents face who Submit Permanant All-Vaccine Medical Exemptions under the New Vaccine Medical Exemption Law

The Downside which California Parents face who Submit Permanant All-Vaccine Medical Exemptions under the New Vaccine Medical Exemption Law

I have received many frantic communications from parents who had a physician submit to the CAIR (California Immunization Registry) a permanent medical exemption for all vaccines because of some medical condition or a prior serious adverse reaction to one of the vaccines. The stories are pretty much the same. The child goes to school after the ME applicaiton is submitted on-line. The ME is eventually rejected. The child stays in school because the parents appeal the denial. Eventually, the Department…

LAWSUIT! CALI. MEDICAL BOARD SUED FOR FREE SPEECH VIOLATIONS, (and there might be more lawsuits coming)

LAWSUIT! CALI. MEDICAL BOARD SUED FOR FREE SPEECH VIOLATIONS, (and there might be more lawsuits coming)

Friday afternoon, I filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of a physician against the Medical Board of California for investigating him for speaking out in public against the government’s Covid mandates, and his questioning some of the “consensus” science and public health goals (zero Covid). Per the first sentence of the introduction, “This is a First Amendment challenge to the Medical Board of California’s attempt to intimidate by investigation, censor, and sanction physicians who publicly disagree with the…
