. @TheFSMB & @Surgeon_General called for action on #COVID disinformation, especially by physicians abusing the public trust for their own gain. @CAgovernor signs 1st in US law so @MedBoardOfCA can stop disinfo. Practicing physicians caring for patients applaud #AB2098 . @CMAdocs
California is again leading the way, fighting medical disinformation with the @CAgovernor’s signature on #AB2098. Thank you @GavinNewsom & congratulations to the coalition of authors, sponsors, supporters & physicians who fought for this law @Evan_Low @DrPanMD @CMAdocs @NLFD_org
Don’t buy the lies: when a small number of profiteering MDs mislead their patients with false information and treatments, they are taking away the right of their patients to make informed decisions about their healthcare. Please @CAgovernor, sign #AB2098 today!

1/ Thank you @GavinNewsom for signing #SB1479 (@DrPanMD), requiring schools to create #COVID testing plans & ensure equitable access to them! Schools will now be prepared for the next surge & more able to keep students & education workers healthy, safe, & in class! @ACSA_info
#SB1479 requiring schools district to have #COVID19 testing plans signed into law. Students, teachers & staff deserve to know when they have been exposed to the #coronavirus at school. #PutKids1st #CovidIsNotOver @CSEA_Now @CFTunion @protectustwt gov.ca.gov/2022/09/29/gov…
Thank you California Governor Newsom for signing AB 1797 to keep our schools open and safe by authorizing and streamlining schools’ ability to verify their student’s vaccine record and provide data on most impacted communities. Big thank you @protectus for your tireless work.
So tired of these characters who deny facts and science so they can garner attention. Thank you @DrPanMD @CMAdocs @MedBoardOfCA Please sign #AB2098 @CAgovernor

#AB2098 clarifies that when the privilege of a medical license is abused by a licensee who intentionally misinforms patients, thereby removing patients’ ability to make informed choices about their care, the licensee can be sanctioned. @MedBoardOfCA washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
A unlicensed pundit with a medical degree who shouldn't be seeing patients ignorantly pontificates on medical licensing. Licensed physicians providing quality care for #COVID patients know misinformation harms patients and support #AB2098 . @CMAdocs @MedBoardOfCA @CAgovernor
Read our statement below regarding the decision to move #SB866 to inactive:
50,000 #CMADocs stand in support of #SB866: Vaccines are critical to our communities' public health, and teens need options to protect themselves and their families when their parents aren't willing or able. #YesOnSB866
"There is no medication, lifestyle change, public health innovation, or medical procedure ever developed that has even come close to the life-saving, life-extending, and primary prevention benefits associated with vaccines." sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/…

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, you can go to a Test to Treat location to get a COVID-19 test, a prescription for treatment (if eligible), and medication that you can take at home – all in one place. You can also talk to your health care provider to get a prescription.
Remember: B5 is SUPER Contagious Who might you give it to without knowing? My pt has #COVID. She’s immune compromised & now thrown into heart failure & bacterial pneumonia. She says, “Doc, hold my hands. I can’t BREATHE!” Also remember #LongCOVID is a nightmare #Vaxx #Mask
2/Unvaccinated teens fear for own health & carry emotional burden of knowing they are likely contributing to virus spread. Now meningitis, monkeypox, & polio outbreaks also loom large. Anti-vaxxers tout freedom & choice but aggressively stifle teen right to get vaccinated.
OPINION: "The pandemic has exposed tremendous inequities in our communities that we can no longer ignore. All teens deserve easy access to life-saving vaccines so they can lead healthy and happy lives," writes Arin Parsa, a high school student. trib.al/DT8MZdI
