  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

California has repealed a misinformation law that restricted the advice doctors could give patients about COVID-19, bowing to mounting legal pressure.

The legislation was signed into law in September 2022 and took effect in January. It tried to define COVID disinformation as “unprofessional conduct” and empower the Medical Board of California to revoke the licenses of physicians who diverged from “contemporary scientific consensus.”

A federal judge halted the law in January pending court challenges, and it is unclear that officials ever enforced it.

That was one of those things where there was no consistent grounds to enforce it on.

California (in past efforts to pander to some of the hippy dippy "new age" "everything has to come from mother earth and be natural" crowd) is one of the handful of states that has official recognition of Naturopathic and Homeopathic medicine. (and even allows the former to be recognized as PCPs under their Medi-Cal plans)

Their Medi-Cal program also offers to cover two Acupuncture visits per year. As well as covering a variety of alternative medicine approaches like hypnosis and Chiropractor visits.

Given that many of those subsets of alternative medicine actively advocate against vaccines (and not just the covid vaccines...pretty much all of them), it's kinda hard to justify having a "misinformation policy" at that point in the game.

If your state has forked over large sums of cash to pay for people to be told that they should treat their cancers with valerian root, colloidal silver, and ginger extract...or that they just need "adjustments" to help their body "unlock the healing power that will reverse the diabetes", it's a little difficult to all of the sudden take a hard line on "you can't tell people anything that doesn't go along with the official medical consensus" at that point.

At the very least, it's mixed messaging on the part of California.

The official scientific consensus is that GMOs are safe and necessary, that didn't stop California from implementing "GMO free zones"

At that point, Cali should just adopt the slogan "Follow the scientific consensus, as long as it doesn't go against what people want to believe" or "Adhere to the medical scientific consensus, as long as it strictly pertains to covid and nothing else"

Many People Get Kill by Doctor, Prescription Drugs, Hospital - VNSALVATION

The recorded medical errors and deaths equate to six jumbo jets falling out of the sky each day, 365 days a year.

Since 2001, a recorded 490,000 people have died from properly prescribed drugs in the United States,

while 2,996 people died on U.S. soil from terrorism, all in the 9/11 attacks; prescription drugs are therefore 16,400 percent more ...
