Supreme Court denies RFK Jr.'s COVID appeal

According to Newsmax, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied RFK Jr's appeal over COVID probes.

Per the source:

The Supreme Court on Monday blocked Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Children's Health Defense from stopping investigations of doctors in Washington state over possible COVID-19 misinformation.

The court's ruling happened after Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, a member of the panel's liberal flank, denied the bid in November.

RFK Jr. appealed Kagan's decision, asking Justice Clarence Thomas to "review their application for an injunction pending appeal.

Thomas didn't make the decision himself, instead, he referred the matter to the full court, according to NBC.

Kennedy Jr. and his colleagues wrote in their Supreme Court injunction application:

The Court should speak clearly and decisively to state actors, professional organizations, other non-state actors, and the national media: Public speech does not lose its constitutional protection from government action simply because it is uttered by a healthcare professional, even if it is at odds with medical orthodoxy.

Kennedy and his allies were arguing "that any investigations seeking to sanction doctors for their views on COVID would violate free speech rights under the First Amendment."

Do you think that what doctors tell patients should be covered under free speech, as Kennedy is arguing? Or should the government step in and determine what doctors can or cannot say to their patients regarding issues like COVID?
