Lots of posts here about doctors saying the shot is safe and approved. This urks me everytime I go to the doctor. I give my usual spiel and that ends it at that visit but repeats every time,
My question is this: Is there a law against doctors who lie to you? Is that malpractice? Can they lose their license for giving false medical advice?
Maybe thats the ammo we need against those who coerce us to take a chance with our lives.
Well to intentially provide false medical advice when they know it is false is malpractice... but very difficult to prove without a whistleblower. Being wrong is not illegal. Reciting product propoganda isn't illegal. Following the CDC or NIH guidlelines is not illegal. So in order for it to stick it has to be a civil and not criminal case and you have to prove they intentionally gave you a diagnosis or treatment with knowledge it was would cause great harm without telling you.
Overall, they are fairly well insulated unless they are just extremely bad doctors.
