Comments on AB 2098

Karen Roberts wrote 1 year ago
I am concerned that this bill will discourage my physician from telling me all she knows about questions I have about vaccinations, covid-19 and other personal topics. I have had side effects from vaccinations and prescription drugs. I count on my physician to help keep me informed about new information and side effects of suggested protocols.
Karin De Jauregui wrote 1 year ago
A group of liberal legislators determining what constitutes 'misinformation' as it concerns a politically charged issue like covid - is reminiscent of George Orwell's 1984 - where words are constantly redefined at the whim of the party in power. This is wrong.
Liz Ingle wrote 1 year ago
The fact that this is even a possible bill is insane. This is 100% infringement on free speech and censorship - not to mention beyond faulty. Who would say what is misinformation? Fauci, The Who, the CDC have all given misinformation as the “science changed.” Also data and studies can all be interpreted differently depending how you look at it. This is a very dangerous slope that will take us 100% the wrong way. Vote no!

Now my government is telling me what I can, and cannot talk to with my doctor. This is just a test and I know that this government now has a free ticket on my Health.

This is essentially a censorship bill. What ever happened to freedom of speech. Vote NO.
