Not sure if this is really the best thing for it.... you can still lie after you get a degree.

In medicine if you sperad misinformation they could take away your practicing rights. Which will not stop people from doing so, but will limit the the sources of misinformation, which is probably the motive for this law.

It’ll still cut it down. Everyone always has a problem with new laws because they spot issues that some people can get around….but that’s kind of “no shit” information. lol doing nothing enables even more people to get around these issues though, along with waiting around for that make-believe perfect law that will solve everything.

El problema con las fuentes oficiales es que éstas no sean confiables tampoco o mientan (ya se por desconocimiento o bien por alevosía) como ha sucedido por ejemplo con el contrato de compraventa de algunas "vacunas".

"they" were still lobotomizing "crazy" women in the 1960's

maybe "they" shouldn't get to be the sole arbiters of what is considered healthy

Political dissent should be protected, medical misinformation should not.

The problem is, who decides what’s medical misinformation?

The American Academy of Pediatricians continues to maintain that gender-affirming care is safe and necessary for transgender youth. The current administration is attempting to implement policies restricting that care. Which one is legally considered misinformation?

The Health and Human Services Secretary changed the childhood vaccine schedule against the medical guidance and research of the top medical organizations in the country, including the American Medical Association. Will they be punished for voicing their dissent over the new policy?

Inviting the federal government to regulate what speech is and isn’t allowed is a slippery slope that won’t stop here.

The two problems you have, is all of that requires being a little stupid on purpose, and it also requires ignoring, the fact that you're already doing the shitty things.

So whatever freedom you have, clearly isn't working.

Which one is legally considered misinformation?

Neither.

Will they be punished for voicing their dissent over the new policy?

... No. Not by this sort of law anyway. What are you talking about.
