#3> While the legislation has raised concerns over freedom of speech, the bill’s sponsors said the extensive harm caused by false information required holding incompetent or ill-intentioned doctors accountable.
There was no addressing the actual issue in this statement. If you're arguing an issue falls under free speech, then the response of "OK, but it's really bad" doesn't change the free-ness of the speech.

Agree with this statement. The problem now becomes not a choice of what to believe, but what you’re told to believe.

#8Waiting for them to punish the doctors and the CDC who claimed that masks were ineffective at the start of the pandemic, which contributed to thousands of deaths.
The CDC's lies were some of the worst disinformation (they knowingly lied) of the entire pandemic.
Let's not forget the WHO, who repeatedly claimed COVID was not airborne, caused thousands of deaths through negligence.
Or there's the doctors who wrongly claimed the vaccines prevent transmission of COVID.
