New Covid Variant BA.4.6 Outcompeting Dominant BA.5 Across Swath Of U.S. For First Time CDC data indicates a new Omicron variant dubbed BA.4.6 may be able to outcompete the now-dominant BA.5 strain across the United States. Tom Tapp Deadline

Misinformation issue: California Legislature passes Bill to Punish Doctors Who Spread False Information

Tue, 2022-08-30 17:51 — mike kraft

Trying to strike a balance between free speech and public health, California’s Legislature on Monday approved a bill that would allow regulators to punish doctors for spreading false information about Covid-19 vaccinations and treatments.

The legislation, if signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, would make the state the first to try to legislate a remedy to a problem that the American Medical Association, among other medical groups and experts, says has worsened the impact of the pandemic, resulting in thousands of unnecessary hospitalizations and deaths.
