Like all our other institutions, the 'long march' by the marxists has been highly successful. State Boards of Medicine are yanking licenses of doctors who prescribe politically-incorrect medications for COVID; specialty certification boards are doing the same, not just for doctors, but for nurses who dare to speak their minds. If one made such a demand, would one's medical license or admission to the bar be threatened? Very likely. Should it be demanded nonetheless? Yes.
Someone posted a story about the American bar association was telling lawyers not to take cases from people who want to sue big pharma and hospitals for killing their families. I’ll look for the link and post it if I can find it.
I don’t think they have the authority to do that, but neither do medical boards have the authority to strip doctors of their licenses. We are entitled to due process or we aren’t.
Well, the medical boards are the ones who hear the evidence about complaints of malpractice and have formerly been the ones to protect the public from dangerous so-called physicians and other health-care providers, so they've not been evil forever. It's like there was a physical mind-virus, though, that invaded the brains of so many health professionals, including the pharmacists who wouldn't fill a valid prescription for one of the safest, most effective drugs ever to be in existence, but they had been filling prescriptions for opioids from the same sketchy doctors for the same patients over and over again for years. The switch was turned, and they suddenly did things that were formerly not done.

These boards are state boards.
What are state governors and legislatures doing?
Zip, nada, nothing, as far as I know.
The alternative docs in WI are jumping ship. Many are retiring or moving.
