"Less than 1% of all state medical-board disciplinary actions against
physicians in the five most populous US states were for spreading
misinformation about topics such as vaccines and therapies during the COVID-19
pandemic, compared with 29% for negligence, according to an analysis from the
University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Law.

Yet two public health experts argue that, because of First Amendment rights and
other factors, that's how it should be."
