A federal judge ordered health agencies Tuesday to reinstate certain webpages taken down in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order on gender ideology.
Doctors for America sued to reinstate the pages, which include an “Environmental Justice Index” and “Diversity Action Plan” for clinical trials, claiming members rely on the information to treat patients.
Though the group is now demanding the Trump administration reinstate old guidance, it pushed for censorship during COVID-19, urging Facebook to stop the spread of “misinformation” on its platform and disclose related data.
“We simply cannot afford another deadly round of covid and vaccine misinformation,” the group wrote in Nov. 2021.
Initially known as Doctors for Obama, the organization was founded by former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, who was a major part of the Biden administration’s push for social media platforms to censor COVID-19 content. Murthy’s guidance urged platforms to impose “clear consequences” for accounts that are “super-spreaders” of misinformation.
Judge John D. Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Center for Disease Control (CDC), and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reinstate webpages highlighted by Doctors for America by the end of the day.
“[I]t bears emphasizing who ultimately bears the harm of defendants’ actions: everyday Americans, and most acutely, underprivileged Americans, seeking healthcare,” Bates wrote in his opinion. “If those doctors cannot provide these individuals the care they need (and deserve) within the scheduled and often limited time frame, there is a chance that some individuals will not receive treatment, including for severe, life-threatening conditions.”
