From the article:
RFK: "I can make the argument that President Biden is the much worse threat to democracy, and the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history – the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech, so to censor his opponent," he said.
Kennedy's Instagram account had been suspended in 2021 for reportedly sharing debunked claims about COVID-19 in violation of the platform's policies on the pandemic. The suspension was lifted in June 20223 when Instagram's parent company Meta cited his active candidacy for president.
He attributed his suspension to pressure from the Biden administration.

take questions without a teleprompter!
Seems to be anti-American to prevent the people from having a choice. Are you against choice? Aren't you "pro-choice", or is that just code for you for being pro-abortion but not really related to choice?

You know so little because of the sources you limit yourself to reading.
“Third Way (a Democrat Think Tank with close ties to the Biden Adm) and the DNC have each separately retained lawyers to file legal challenges against Kennedy and his super PAC for alleged illegal coordination on ballot access. The super PAC said Monday that it would stop gathering signatures on Kennedy’s behalf.
End Citizens United, a campaign finance reform group, has pressured No Labels to disclose its donors and filed its own legal complaints with the IRS and 27 states arguing that No Labels is violating its nonprofit tax status by essentially acting as a political party.
More legal challenges are almost guaranteed, with attorneys actively monitoring third-party ballot access attempts across the country to look for any slip-up that could be exploited.”
Are you one of those soldiers that would have rounded up citizens and their children on orders from above? Are you comfortable supporting this neo-Stalinism? Seems like it. You feel more comfortable in your known, false picture of the world than you are confronted what you really have become. You aren’t alone, but you are pathetic nonetheless.

which is not surprising based on your MAGA idiocy. The article is typical of any political party during an election year. I’m sure you recall when Ross Perot ran, yes? The RNC did the same shit, so quit playing the “holier than thou” card.
Also, I guarantee you wouldn’t say what you said in the last paragraph to my face. You talk tough on the board, but it’s no doubt that you’re a meek twat in person. Go fuck yourself, Trumpy.
Btw, I am sure that when you use Ronna Romney et al as evidence of "how bad Trump is that even other party members see it" (paraphrase here Mr Literal), you see that as Totally Different than this use of RFK against Biden.
FTR, I think all of you liberals are nutjobs.
look to the growing list of GOP legislators who are vowing to not vote for Trump and urging their constituents to do the same.

Go to the DC area and mingle with these people. The are as narrowminded as is humanly possible,
And they have zero capacity for introspection.
literally thousands of medical professionals, through the use of "Evidence Based Medicine"...i.e. objective research and resultant data...have made determinations that his comments on Social Media are false and harmful to the health of all Americans...it was true then...it is true now. If you'd like to challenge me on the facts, by all means do so.
Your obeisance to a very select group of "authorities" (sic) is... pathetic.
qualified professionals who certainly earned their consensus opinions….unlike you.
It was a total take over of American autonomy. Biden has much to answer for as do his minions like Fauci.
As an aside, California quietly backtracked on its' COVID Misinformation Law this past Fall. So much suppression of free speech....and it turned out to be truthful, accurate free speech as we now know. BidenHandlers are unfit for office.

CA Bill...i.e. more stringent control over physicians who spread misinformation in their practice as exemplified during the COVID pandemic. Yes, people, including physicians, can speak more freely...BUT, not without consequences and not without State Medical Board Reviews.
In RFK Jr.'s situation, Instagram did its own Review of his comments on COVID vaccines and used medical reviewers to make their business decision...again, Free Speech has limits.
...from Baron's own link...
--------------------
Aside from repealing AB 2098, the new legislation, called SB 815opens in a new tab or window, includes several consumer protections that advocates had long sought. It requires that the board communicate with aggrieved patients who filed a complaint.
Before a complaint about a licensee's quality of care can be closed, the board will now be required to conduct an interview with the complainant, patient, or the patient's representative. Before now, a complaining party was not guaranteed to have input during the process.
The new legislation "will give patients a voice in the medical board's enforcement process that they have been seeking for years," said Carmen Balber, executive director for Consumer Watchdog. "Right now, 80-plus percent of complaints are closed before the patient is ever spoken to," she said.
The bill also establishes a new complainant liaison unit consisting of members of the Medical Board of California staff to respond to communications from the public about the complaint review and enforcement process. This provision does not take effect until 6 months following the budget allocating staffing positions for the new tasks.
------------------
I encourage viewers to read the entire article...not just the headline.
RFK Jr. was banned from Instagram for spreading false and harmful statements about COVID vaccines. Free speech has limits...especially when it can influence deadly outcomes to millions of readers.
Given Baron's similar behavior here on this board, it's not surprising that he would side with RFK Jr.

higher...from the attached article...
--------------------------
Physicians who provided medical misinformation that affected patient's care throughout the COVID-19 pandemic have seen few consequences, The Washington Post found.
The Federation of State Medical Boards, a nonprofit that represents all U.S. state medical boards, warned in July 2021 that physicians could risk their medical licenses by furthering COVID-19 misinformation online and in the media.
The Post analyzed disciplinary records from medical boards in all 50 states. At least 20 doctors nationally were disciplined for complaints of COVID-19 misinformation between January 2020 and June 2023. Five of those physicians lost their medical licenses, with one revoked and four surrendered. Medical boards in at least 14 states had taken disciplinary action against one or more physicians.
The discipline of 20 physicians reflects a small portion of the number of complaints medical boards fielded about COVID-19 misinformation over three years. The Post's requests to the boards returned at least 480 COVID-misinformation-related complaints. By the end of 2021, two-thirds of state medical boards reported an increase in the number of COVID-19 misinformation complaints coming in.
Many of the complaints related to physicians' promotion of ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19. The drugs have been disproved as effective treatments for the virus and are not recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration.

When I criticize Baron or Mark Harman over COVID misinformation, I'm just passing along the views of State Medical Boards across the country.

Also, remember Joe and Kamala questioning the safety of the vaccines.

The virus could not have come from a lab.
The vaccine will prevent you from getting CoVid.
The vaccine will prevent you from spreading CoVid.
The horse dewormer nonsense.
Remember, they filled skate parks in with sand.
>Unlikely, but possible...need China's cooperation and data to know for sure
>95% (no one EVER said they were 100%) effective on the original "Wild Type" version of SARS-CoV-2...subsequent mutations lowered the effectiveness (but not to Zero)
>Those who are infected, regardless of vaccination status can spread the virus
>Ivermectin and HCQ+ don't work...no successful RCTs for either one.
Read...Read...Read...that's all you have to do, Cheeks...so easy...provided you choose sources that have proven with their past work they can keep you healthy and alive...e.g the same institutions that brought you vaccines for smallpox, polio, measles, diphtheria, pertussis...and now COVID-19.
