Physicians for Informed Consent Sues State of California, Argues That Doctor Censorship Bill AB 2098 Violates the U.S. Constitution

Physicians for Informed Consent Sues State of California, Argues That Doctor Censorship Bill AB 2098 Violates the U.S. Constitution

Federal Court to weigh controversial bill that PIC argues is an unlawful targeting of scientific dissent as ‘misinformation’

Newport Beach, CA — December 7, 2022 (Newswire)

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has filed a First Amendment free speech lawsuit (2:22-cv-02147) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, and request for preliminary injunction, against the State of California and Osteopathic Medical Board of California in order to protect the free speech of all physicians in California.

The Plaintiffs are PIC and one of its founding members, physician LeTrinh Hoang, D.O., together with Children’s Health Defense, California Chapter. The legal team managing the case are Rick Jaffe, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Mary Holland.

The lawsuit argues that the State has weaponized the vague phrase “misinformation,” thereby unconstitutionally targeting physicians who publicly disagree with the government’s public health edicts on COVID-19.

Expert cardiologist and PIC member Sanjay Verma, M.D., has been tracking and cataloging CDC errors in real time. For the case, he has provided what he calls “a detailed declaration exposing the government’s scientific errors and the constitutional dangers of censoring dissent”:

“To demonstrate these points of vagueness and the general unsuitability of using ‘contemporary scientific consensus’ as a disciplinary criterion, I have prepared a detailed overview of public health response to the pandemic broken down into categories such as Masks and Vaccines (transmission, safety, efficacy of natural immunity). I have also included evidence of what [I testify] would be considered misinformation promulgated by the CDC as well as its withholding of information which led to the then ‘contemporary scientific consensus’ eventually being proven wrong.”

PIC President Shira Miller, M.D., was active in opposing AB 2098 while it was navigating the California legislative process, and has led the effort to bring the instant lawsuit. Opposing the bill, she wrote, “Public health is not achieved, and scientific knowledge does not progress, by censoring dissenting physicians and surgeons or anyone else. AB 2098 is anti-doctor, anti-public health, anti-science, and anti-free speech.”

The scheduled hearing on PIC’s motion for preliminary injunction is Jan. 17, 2023. PIC has requested the District Court issue a preliminary injunction that “AB 2098 is unconstitutional on its face.” The Complaint also requests the Court “issue a declaratory judgement that PIC and CHD patient members have a privacy right in their prescriptions for any off-label FDA approved medication” such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

Physicians for Informed Consent Challenges the Basis for COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates

According to Physicians for Informed Consent, new data raise serious concerns over the risks of hospitalization in people vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., November 11, 2022 (Newswire.com) – Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has released an update to its educational document “COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 21 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions.” Developed from data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Library of Medicine, and other established sources, the PIC document covers issues of critical importance to both the medical community and the public. Reflecting key scientific research, the document refutes the basis for COVID-19 vaccine mandates. For example, according to Physicians for Informed Consent, studies (referenced here) show:

  • COVID-19 vaccines may increase the risk of hospitalizations in vaccinated people.
    A study published in Vaccine found that the number of serious adverse events in people vaccinated with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is higher than the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations prevented. For every two COVID-19 hospitalizations prevented in vaccinated people, there are 10 COVID-19 vaccine serious adverse events.
  • COVID-19 vaccines increase the risk of myocarditis in young men.
    A study published in Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety shows that in males aged 18 to 24 years, the risk of myocarditis is 1 in 1,862 after the second dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine.
  • COVID-19 vaccines increase the risk of cardiac-related deaths in men.
    A study by the Florida Department of Health found there is a 97% increased risk of cardiac-related deaths in males aged 18–39 within 28 days of being vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine.
  • COVID-19 vaccines increase the length of menstrual cycles in women.
    A study published in BMJ found that in women, vaccination with two doses within the same menstrual cycle leads to a 3.7-day increase in that cycle’s length. The consequences of this phenomenon are not known.

It can take months or even years for new data to reach the general medical community. As such, some healthcare providers may be unaware of COVID-19 vaccine facts and figures. In providing this document, PIC highlights important statistics to help medical professionals and their patients more easily assess the risks of the vaccine compared to the risks of COVID-19. In addition, as a nonprofit organization with headquarters in California — where AB 2098, a doctor-censorship bill, was recently signed into law — PIC asserts that it is now more important than ever for the general public to be able to access science-based COVID-19 analyses.

“AB 2098 is immoral and anti-science,” said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. “PIC as an organization will continue speaking out and educating the public about COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccines, and the need to have doctors whose professional opinion hasn’t been censored — because without free speech informed consent is not possible.”

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes That Minors Obtain Vaccination Without Parental Knowledge or Consent

PIC Doctors Send Letter Opposing SB 866 to California Legislators

PIC Oppose SB 866 Letter

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 1, 2022 (Newswire.com) –

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has submitted an opposition letter to California Senate Bill 866 (SB 866).

SB 866 proposes allowing children 12 years of age and older to, without parental consent or knowledge, become injected with any vaccines that meet “federal agency criteria.” Physicians for Informed Consent, representing hundreds of its physician and surgeon members, opposes the bill and asserts that SB 866 is immoral, potentially medically dangerous, and potentially illegal. PIC asserts that SB 866 would violate parental rights and thwart children’s ability to obtain compensation in the case of a vaccine injury.

Per Dr. Shira Miller, PIC founder and president, “physicians experienced in obtaining informed consent know that it is not possible for 12-year-old children as a group to understand the risks and benefits of vaccination, and California’s health education curriculum for public schools does not even mention vaccination until high school.”

SB 866 will be heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, May 5, 2022. If you or someone you know lives in California, PIC urges you to read the Physicians for Informed Consent SB 866 opposition letter and request your representatives to oppose SB 866 as soon as possible, and call in or show up to the public hearing in Sacramento on May 5, 2022.

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Private and Public Employees and Independent Contractors in California

PIC Doctors Send AB 1993 Opposition Letter to California Legislators

 

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF., March 29, 2022 (Newswire.com) – 

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has submitted an opposition letter to California Assembly Bill 1993 (AB 1993).

AB 1993 proposes a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all private and public employees and independent contractors in California. Physicians for Informed Consent, representing hundreds of its physician and surgeon members, opposes the bill and asserts that AB 1993 is both unscientific and would legalize medical bullying in the workplace. Per Dr. Shira Miller, PIC founder and president, “…the clinical trials have been the only settings in which the vaccination status of subjects/patients was closely monitored, and those trials did not detect enough COVID-19 deaths to measure a significant difference in mortality between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients despite observing tens of thousands of subjects.”

AB 1993 will be heard by the Committee on Labor & Employment members this Wednesday, March 30, 2022, at 1:30 pm. If you or someone you know lives in California, PIC urges you to read the Physicians for Informed Consent AB 1993 opposition letter, including its accompanying educational document “COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 20 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions” and request of your assembly members and representatives to oppose AB 1993 as soon as possible.

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes AB 1993


DOWNLOAD PDF

March 25, 2022

Re: AB 1993 (COVID-19 vaccine and booster requirement for all CA employees and independent contractors)
Position: Oppose

Dear California Legislators,

On behalf of hundreds of physician and surgeon members of Physicians for Informed Consent and thousands of our health-freedom members, we oppose AB 1993.

AB 19931 is both immoral and unscientific. It is immoral because it proposes to legalize medical bullying in the workplace and unscientific because the COVID-19 vaccines have not been proven safer than COVID-19 infection and natural immunity in employees of all age groups and all workplaces.

Furthermore, the clinical trials have been the only settings in which the vaccination status of subjects/patients was closely monitored, and those trials did not detect enough COVID-19 deaths to measure a significant difference in mortality between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients despite observing tens of thousands of subjects. In addition, CDC data show that the COVID-19 mass vaccination program has had no measurable impact on COVID-19 mortality—see PIC’s attached educational document COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 20 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions.

We urge you to oppose AB 1993 as it is immoral, unscientific, unnecessary, and divisive.

Respectfully,

Shira Miller, M.D.
Founder and President
Physicians for Informed Consent

Physicians for Informed Consent Updates Its Information Statement About Vaccines and Immunocompromised Schoolchildren, Includes Data on COVID-19 Vaccines

The updated document presents five reasons why the vaccination status of other schoolchildren is not a significant risk to immunocompromised schoolchildren

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF., March 28, 2022 (Newswire.com) – 

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has released an update to its information statement entitled “Vaccines: What About Immunocompromised Schoolchildren?” Developed as a concise, two-page educational brief, the document includes new information about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines, and addresses the common question, “Is it a health risk to immunocompromised kids if other schoolchildren are not vaccinated?”

A safe environment for all people, including schoolchildren, is the goal of everyone involved in public health. Because immunocompromised schoolchildren are among the most vulnerable children in school, this educational document focuses on concerns about their safety, and provides key scientific data about infectious diseases, and the effects and limitations of vaccination. Importantly, the document (referenced here) shows five reasons why the vaccination status of a child is not a significant risk to other classmates in general or immunocompromised schoolchildren in particular. For example:

  1. Some vaccines cannot prevent the spread of the bacteria or viruses they target. As such, children vaccinated with the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine (DTaP) or the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) can still be infected with diphtheria-causing bacteria, pertussis bacteria, or poliovirus and spread them to others, even with mild or no symptoms of their own. The influenza vaccines (TIV and LAIV) have not been observed to significantly reduce the spread of influenza. About half of schoolchildren vaccinated with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine can still be infected with measles virus and spread it to others, even with mild or no symptoms of their own. And several studies of the COVID-19 vaccine suggest that the vaccine has had no measurable impact on preventing transmission.
  2. Not all infectious diseases targeted for vaccination are contagious. For example, tetanus cannot spread from person to person under any circumstances. Consequently, a child’s vaccination status for a non-contagious disease does not pose a risk to immunocompromised schoolchildren.
  3. Some infectious diseases are not spread in schools. For example, the main routes of hepatitis B transmission are sexual contact, injection drug use, and being born to an infected mother — routes of transmission that do not occur in school. Nearly all cases of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) occur among children younger than 5 years of age; therefore, nearly all Hib transmission does not occur in school. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is sexually transmitted and is therefore not spread in school.

The Physicians for Informed Consent educational document on vaccines and immunocompromised schoolchildren discusses COVID-19; diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP); polio; influenza (flu); measles, mumps and rubella (MMR); varicella (chickenpox); hepatitis b; Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib); and human papillomavirus (HPV).

“We’re happy to be able to help parents in this way, when they are researching which vaccines are required for attending school,” said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. “And the data indicate that whatever vaccine decisions parents make for their children, those decisions don’t significantly affect other children — even if they are immunocompromised. Thus, informed consent and informed refusal in vaccination are both logical and moral, and there is no justification to mandate schoolchildren receive COVID-19 vaccines, or any other vaccines.”

To read all five reasons why the vaccination status of a child is not a significant risk to other classmates, download your copy of “Vaccines: What About Immunocompromised Schoolchildren?” at physiciansforinformedconsent.org/immunocompromised-schoolchildren. Readers are encouraged to share the document with their physicians, friends and family.

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for School Attendance and Doctor Censorship Bills in California

PIC Doctors Submit SB 871 and AB 2098 Opposition Letters to California Legislators

Newport Beach, CA – March 15, 2022

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has submitted opposition letters to California Senate Bill 871 (SB 871) and Assembly Bill 2098 (AB 2098).

SB 871 proposes a COVID-19 vaccine mandate (without any religious or personal belief exemption) for daycare and K-12 public and private school attendance in California. This proposed COVID-19 vaccine mandate would be in addition to the current vaccine mandates for diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus, Haemophilus influenzae type b, polio, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox)—also without a religious or philosophical exemption since SB 277 passed in 2015. Although medical exemptions are technically still a possibility, SB 276 and SB 714 (which passed in 2019) effectively illegalized nearly all medical exemptions in California by 1) only permitting extreme or near-death post-vaccine adverse events to be considered for a medical exemption, 2) requiring state public health employees to scrutinize medical exemptions, and 3) threatening medical board investigations, and targeting especially any doctor who writes more than four medical exemptions per year. In spite of these unjust political actions, the vaccination status of a child has not been found to be a significant risk to other schoolchildren, as explained in PIC’s educational document, “Vaccines: What About Immunocompromised Schoolchildren?”

SB 714 effectively censored physicians in California from expressing their professional medical opinion, through the act of writing letters to schools, that a child’s risk of one or more mandated vaccines for school attendance is more than the benefit. Now, AB 2098 proposes to also censor physicians in California from expressing their professional medical opinion, to any person and in any format, about COVID-19 infection or vaccine information—unless their opinion conforms to the current “consensus.”

“Certain legislators wrongly believe AB 2098 is needed in order to reduce the circulation of inaccurate information about COVID-19 vaccines,” said PIC Founder and President Dr. Shira Miller. “However, the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution—the foundation of a free and democratic society—exists to protect the ability of Americans to speak and disagree about what is accurate versus inaccurate information, without the threat of inaccurate persecutions by government agents or agencies.”

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes AB 2098

NOTICE: PIC’s AB 2098/BPC 2270 (COVID-19 doctor-censorship) lawsuit was successful in Federal Court on January 25, 2023, and its enforcement has been blocked. CLICK HERE for details.

The below information is an archive.


Physicians for Informed Consent deems AB 2098 as the worst bill of the 2022 legislative session because it aims to eradicate free speech in California—starting with the attempted censorship of California’s physicians and surgeons who oppose vaccine mandates and offer alternative prevention/treatment options for COVID-19.

What can you do?
Contact California’s Governor Gavin Newsom and urge him to VETO AB 2098 today!
Use the tools below provided by our Coalition members or contact the Governor through the Capitol’s Web Portal.

Re: AB 2098 (doctor censorship)
Position: Oppose

Dear California Legislators,

On behalf of hundreds of physician and surgeon members of Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) and thousands of our health-freedom members, in the interest of the health and safety of all Californians, and in allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, we oppose AB 2098—and deem it as the worst bill of the 2022 legislative session.

Without California doctors being free to speak their mind and educate the public, regarding COVID-19 or vaccination or any other controversial topic, no other public health laws will matter as legislators will not be able to obtain knowledge from a breadth of physician and surgeon opinions, and the public will not be able to obtain their doctors’ honest opinion—because doctors who think and act differently from the contemporary “applicable standard of care” will fear losing their medical license. Section 2234.1 of the Business and Professions Code respects and protects doctors who think outside the box. AB 2098 blatantly proposes a new law “abridging the freedom of speech” of doctors and violating the right of doctors to “petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” which violates the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Public health is not achieved, and scientific knowledge does not progress, by censoring dissenting physicians and surgeons or anyone else. AB 2098 is anti-doctor, anti-public health, anti-science, and anti-free speech and we urge you to oppose it.

Sincerely,

Shira Miller, M.D.
Founder and President
Physicians for Informed Consent

Notice: If AB 2098 becomes law then PIC’s enclosed “COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 20 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions” may effectively become banned, so we urge you to read it while you still can.

Physicians for Informed Consent Opposes SB 871

DOWNLOAD PDF

March 9, 2022

Re: SB 871 (COVID-19 vaccine mandate for daycare and K-12 school attendance)
Position: Oppose

Dear California Legislators,

On behalf of hundreds of physician and surgeon members of Physicians for Informed Consent and thousands of our health-freedom members, we oppose SB 871.

The COVID-19 mass vaccination program has unfortunately had no measurable impact on the COVID-19 death rate in the United States.1 Fortunately, severe cases or deaths from COVID-19 in children are rare occurrences (1 fatality per 126,000 children)2 but sadly children commonly suffer from severe systemic reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine.3 Additionally, several studies have shown no measurable impact of the vaccine on the spread of COVID-19.1 Thus, as is the case with other vaccines4 wrongly mandated for school attendance in California, the vaccination status of a child is not a significant risk to other schoolchildren.

It is both unethical and unscientific to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine on any population, but coercing parents to indiscriminately vaccinate their children or lose the right to send them to school is antithetical to the health of California’s children and antithetical to a free society.

We urge you to oppose SB 871.

Sincerely,

Shira Miller, M.D.

Physicians for Informed Consent General Counsel Disqualifies Federal Judge from Ruling in Vaccine Mandates Court Case

The Garners – Lead Plaintiffs in Garner v. Biden

Judge recuses herself due to potential financial conflict of interest with vaccine manufacturers

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. March 9, 2022

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) General Counsel, Greg Glaser, through his private law practice, is also lead litigator in Garner v. Biden, No. 2:20-cv-02470-WBS-JDP (Eastern District of California), a federal vaccine mandates lawsuit against the President of the United States. The lawsuit argues that vaccine mandates must be repealed not only because they are unethical and unscientific but because our country would not be able to perform scientific vaccine research without the existence of unvaccinated persons who would be able to participate as controls. Thus, the case is known as, The Control Group litigation.

Recently, Glaser filed a motion to disqualify Judge Kim McLane Wardlaw, due to her ownership of substantial stocks of vaccine manufacturers. The judge quickly recused herself to avoid the appearance of any impropriety. See court order Garner v. Biden, No. 21-15587, 2022 U.S. App. LEXIS 3255, at *1 (9th Cir. Feb. 4, 2022).

“All judges have an affirmative duty as part of their work requirements to disclose their financial holdings annually on a standard government form (AO 10A),” said Glaser, “and we hope more attorneys handling vaccine mandate cases make sure their presiding judges do not have a similar potential financial conflict of interest.” Federal law (28 U.S.C.S. § 455) states that recusal is necessary where a judge holds any amount of stock directly in a company that is substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding.

Physicians for Informed Consent congratulates Greg Glaser for his diligence to ensure The Control Group receives a fair trial. PIC also thanks members Dr. Rachel West, Dr. Douglas Hulstedt, and Dr. LeTrinh Hoang for assisting The Control Group case by serving as expert witnesses, and for sharing with the court Physicians for Informed Consent educational documents on infectious diseases and vaccines.
