Suppress The Speech, Kill The Patient
The article, Linked below, is rather lengthy, and perhaps more attuned for strong First Amendment advocates, and legal beagles.
Newsom's vetoing of the bill, which would have given a formal stomp of approval to gagging doctors from telling the truth, was a political stunt and a distraction. The question was, what would be done instead?
"Instead" is what has been done for decades, using the "Medical Boards" as a sword. You can track this back to the Rockefellers, even further if you want to do a deep dive into the subject. Democide didn't start with CV1984—far from it.
I remember back in the late 1970s, when the Kansas Murder, er "Medical", Board, went after a doctor who was recommending Laetrile (Vitamin B17) for his patients with cancer. Can't cull the herd as well when measures can be taken to stop the slaughter.
A special shoutout to the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, which is mentioned in the article.

As all Cali. First Amendment lovers know, on Saturday, September 30th, Governor Newsom signed SB 815 which repealed the physician covid misinformation law, AB 2098, enacted as Section 2270 of the Business and Professions Code.
On Monday morning, October 2nd, we asked our judge in Bonta v. Hoang (one of two related cases in which Judge William B. Schubb granted a preliminary injunction barring enforcement of AB2098) to change course and stop the medical boards from trying to censor physicians under a new legal theory. Potato, Potaato. It is still the same spud, and it is the same unconstitutional conceptual slight of hand to magically turn protected speech into regulatable professional conduct, just like the medieval alchemists claimed they could transmute lead into gold. That fooled few back then, and as explained below, hopefully it won’t work any better than the two previous Cali Attorney Generals who tried the same trick.

More cynically, the board, the legislature and the Attorney General are all trying to prevent the courts from reviewing the board’s continued illegal actions. The bill’s sponsor said the board can still go after doctors for exactly the same conduct which was made sanctionable under Section 2270. And the board has already filed a case against at least one doctor.
