For example, telling a patient "the COVID vaccine will not protect you from COVID, and will not prevent you from transmitting it" got people banned. If doctors had said that, they could have lost their license.
Some did.
Still can in Cali.

I don’t know what to tell you because now you’re arguing about what is and isn’t misinformation and disinformation. Obviously if physicians are spreading disinformation then they are using their medical licenses for harm, same as a doctor selling opioid scripts or recommending quack therapies. There was a lot of disinformation and still is around Covid and Covid vaccines and removing physicians from licensure for malpractice seems right to me.
This seems trivial to me though.
And as outlined many times previously -- the Covid vaccines were VERY effective at stopping infection and transmission until Omicron showed up in December of 2021.
Prior Omicron, the vaccinated breakthrough rate for the Covid vaccines in the U.S. was a mere 0.56% -- a rate which is much better than then vaccinated breakthrough rate for the measles & other vaccines in an environment where the disease is highly prevalent.
Misinformation example.
