Gavin Newsom Signs Repeal of State&#8217;s\u2063 COVID-19 Medical Censorship Law<\/h2>\n<p>In a victory \u200bfor freedom of speech, Democratic California Governor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/throwback-angry-gavin-newsom-interview-losing-governor-race-warning-americans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gavin Newsom<\/a> has signed a bill \u200bto repeal a law that could have stifled medical advice from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/two-doctors-idea-causing-mitch-mcconnell-freeze\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">doctors<\/a> regarding COVID-19. The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) announced \u200bthis development in\u200b a press release.<\/p>\n<p>The law, known as \u200dAssembly Bill 2098, would have punished doctors for sharing \u2063certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/right-leftist-bill-maher-gives-credit-desantis-covid-response-even-audience-agrees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COVID-19<\/a> information with their patients that deviated from the \u200c&#8221;contemporary scientific consensus,&#8221; according to the NCLA press release.<\/p>\n<p>A group of\u2064 California doctors represented by NCLA argued that the law\u2062 violated their First Amendment rights by restricting their freedom of speech.<\/p>\n<p>The bill stated that doctors charged with &#8220;unprofessional conduct&#8221; would face consequences. This \u200bincluded spreading &#8220;misinformation or disinformation&#8221; about\u200d COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>However, a federal judge issued a preliminary \u2063injunction in \u2064January, \u2062blocking the\u2062 enforcement of the law. Now, Governor Newsom has signed a bill to officially repeal it.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u2064 separate case, the U.S. District Court for the Northern \u200cDistrict of California also temporarily blocked the state&#8217;s California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (CAADCA) due\u2063 to concerns about its\u200b potential violation of the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>The NCLA hailed this repeal as a victory for physicians, patients, doctor-patient relationships, and the Constitution. They emphasized that \u2064it is essential to uphold the fundamental truth \u200cthat no official can\u200c dictate what is considered orthodox or force citizens \u2062to conform to a particular opinion.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that billionaire Elon Musk&#8217;s X Corp. has also sued California over another law, Assembly Bill 587, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-babylon-bee-sues-to-block-california-censorship-law\/\" title=\"The Babylon Bee Sues To Block California Censorship Law\">requires social media companies<\/a> to disclose their content moderation policies. Musk&#8217;s company argues that this law violates the First Amendment and promotes censorship.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, \u200cGovernor Newsom&#8217;s press office has not \u2063responded to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p><em>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to \u200cany <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/union-membership-plummets-to-record-low\/\" title=\"Union Membership Plummets to Record Low\">legitimate news publisher<\/a> that can provide a large audience.
