Can the state of California enforce its own idea of “scientific consensus” on doctors who treat patients for COVID-19? Not after last night, when US District Court Judge William Shubb slapped an injunction on enforcement of AB 2098. This undoubtedly sets up a showdown at the Ninth Circuit, but for the moment the gag rule on doctors has been shut down.
After reading Shubb’s opinion about how badly the state legislature crafted the law, however, Gavin Newsom might want to think twice about further exposure. In the first place, the law forces doctors to only convey the “scientific consensus” on COVID-19 rather than their own judgment, when no one — not the legislature or its attorneys — can provide a definition of that term in relation to COVID-19:

Shubb agrees with the plaintiffs in this action, noting that the “scientific consensus” regarding a novel virus only under study for three years is at best an aspirational concept. In practice, as Shubb notes, the “consensus” — as defined by California’s reliance on public-health officials — has changed repeatedly in that time. That puts every doctor at risk for prosecution in California no matter what they might say in any given moment, a standard so unreliable as to practically embody the terms “arbitrary” and “capricious”:
The left-wing extremists in charge of California's government really are out of control. Glad there's at least one federal judge with some common sense. Too bad Biden and the Democrats are working overtime to fill the federal judiciary with Marxists.
"Scientific consensus" was once the notion that the earth was the center of the universe and stars orbited on a crystal plain. The catholic church of the dark ages loved them some consensus.
It's unfortunate the lesson learned all those years ago that led to the Renaissance has been hidden and ignored by the human refuse controlling our Wokocracy. And even more unfortunate that those who see what is happening are too timorous to stand up, give them the middle finger, and say enough is enough.
....... well, at least one judge grew some stones for the time being.
And this is the man that will probably be the Democrat Presidential Candidate in 2024.
They'll get what they vote for. The most useless laws, the highest taxes, highest fuel prices, most homeless and the most hand cuffed law enforcement in the Country.

There has never been a more evilly blunt and dangerous attack on personal freedom than to declare independent thought and non-conformity unlawful.
Newsom is perilously deluded.
