> This bill would designate the dissemination or promotion of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or “COVID-19,” as unprofessional conduct. The bill would require the board to consider specified factors prior to bringing a disciplinary action against a physician and surgeon. The bill would also make findings and declarations in this regard.
They really need to separate the two definitions.
- Misinformation - False information that is spread regardless of intent to mislead.
- Disinformation - False information that is spread with intent to mislead.
The latter is harmful. Everyone agrees this is unprofessional conduct. The former however? That's the world being ignorant today when there's many unknowns about covid we're still seeking answers to.
