Children's Health Defense By
Attorneys for Children’s Health Defense (CHD) on Tuesday filed a motion for preliminary injunction in an effort to prevent California from punishing doctors for COVID-19 “misinformation” while CHD’s lawsuit challenging the state’s new law makes its way through the courts.
California Assembly Bill 2098 (AB 2098), signed into law on Sept. 30, subjects the state’s doctors to discipline — including the suspension of their medical licenses — for sharing “misinformation” or “disinformation” about COVID-19 with their patients.
The law is set to take effect Jan. 1, 2023. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for Jan. 17, 2021.
Attorneys Rick Jaffe, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., CHD chairman and chief litigation counsel, and Mary Holland, CHD president and general counsel, filed the motion in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on behalf of plaintiffs LeTrinh Hoang, D.O., Physicians for Informed Consent and Children’s Health Defense — California Chapter.
