English Proper noun en. en Jacob Sullum A Federal Judge Blocks California's Ban on Medical Advice That Promotes COVID-19 'Misinformation' Reason (magazine) Reason https://reason.com/2023/01/26/a-federal-judge-blocks-californias-ban-on-medical-advice-that-promotes-covid-19-misinformation/ 2023-01-26 On Wednesday night, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against a new California law that makes physicians subject to professional discipline for sharing COVID-19 "misinformation" with their patients. U.S. District Judge William B. Shubb concluded that California's definition of misinformation is unconstitutionally vague, failing to give doctors fair notice of which conduct the statute covers, which is a basic requirement of due process. That vagueness is especially problematic in this context, Shubb said, because it is apt to have a chilling effect on speech protected by the First Amendment. https://web.archive.org/web/20230801200949/https://reason.com/2023/01/26/a-federal-judge-blocks-californias-ban-on-medical-advice-that-promotes-covid-19-misinformation/
