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

Secured Signing’s CEO Gal Thompson Introduces Notary Queue and Snapshot to Its Remote Online Notarization and Digital Signature SaaS Platform
Secured Signing today announced the latest product updates and enhancements across its Remote Online Notarization and Digital Signature platform with the introduction of Notary Queue and Snapshot.
"We are excited to release these incredible new features," says Gal Thompson, CEO at Secured Signing. "Notary Queue comes at a pivotal moment for Secured Signing, as interest for an enterprise remote online notarization solution has risen significantly across many different markets, while Snapshot gives notaries the ability to collect or capture an image of supporting documentation during a live remote online notarization session. The new features empower platform users with smart tools that create quick and easy business solutions designed to streamline document workflows."
Notary Queue is perfect for medium to large companies performing frequent signing services and have remote, in-house RON-certified notaries able to perform RON for the entire company. The new feature supports the ability to have different roles and people assigned to a document process with the ability to prepare and tag documents as needed. Using Secured Signing's API or a manual entry process, the scheduler enters the data and assigns it into a queue. A pool of the company's notaries can pick up the assignment or these can be assigned directly to a specific notary of choice.
"We discovered the need for companies to schedule and assign notarial tasks in a way that was scalable," says Mike Eyal, CTO and founder at Secured Signing. "This led to extensive research and development of the Notary Queue, which allows for a quick and easy notary assignment to be posted into a queue. Snapshot comes with the functionality that everyone is accustomed to when editing images including crop, editing, and labeling, all done within the live session."
Secured Signing's platform continues to deliver an all-in-one, comprehensive product that provides notaries with the ability to schedule live RON sessions, complete identity proofing and credential analysis checks on customers and clients, fully tag a document with data collection fields, and edit fields within a live signing session with the add or remove field functionality.
"Our R&D team continues to keep a pulse on our user base. We listen, learn and bring new logic, features and enhancements that make sense to market," added Thompson.
