    We physicians have to take our share of the blame for why bad doctors don't get their medical licenses yanked. Physician groups like @CMAdocs work to keep state medical boards hamstrung. It's one reason why antivax docs and cancer quacks keep practicing.https://www.modernhealthcare.com/physicians/doctors-lobby-scores-major-victory-calif-bill-hold-physicians-accountable …

        The way @CMAdocs fights reasonable measures to beef up @MedBoardOfCA has allowed antivax quacks to flourish mostly unmolested, except for the occasional high profile case, such as Dr. Bob Sears.

        I forgot to include who really pushes on behalf of @CMAdocs to keep California from increasing @MedBoardOfCA's ability to take away the licenses of quacks, its lobbying arm, @doclobby.

        Plus California has a quack protection law https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=BPC&sectionNum=2234.1 …

        True, but combine the quack protection law with "mainstream" doctors lobbying groups fighting tooth and nail any attempt to beef up regulation of physicians, and you have a place where quacks thrive, be they alternative medicine quacks or just bad doctors.
