I just dont get it, cant one be charged for giving medical advice when they are not a doctor? Wouldnt this fall under that?
Is it not considered free speech if you're not charging money?
If you're licensed in some healthcare capacity and give medical advice outside the scope of your training you could lose your license/right to practice/etc.
But I'm pretty sure crazy people telling others to inject bleach is somehow protected speech.
I dont think this is right, as when orange man made the comments to just drink (inject)bleach to cure covid, I thought they made it very clear (his team) that he is NOT a medical doctor and that wasnt medical advice. I think you need to clarify your position and the reason you are saying these things if it deals with medical information I dont think you have to benefit from the information to run a fowl of the snake oil laws. But I am no lawyer and I have not researched these points, I am just going off what the thinking bacon in my head is telling me.
Yeah, that makes sense. I do wonder where the line is between "medical advice" and "free speech" considering that people apparently say all sorts of crap on facebook if the screenshots are to be believed.
