In addition, bad science driving bad policy creates unintended consequences that must be acknowledged. This new form of pseudo-scientific “crying wolf” inevitably undermines the public’s trust in policy and state health leaders. That could lead to more people ignoring important messages. In addition, it contributes to California’s already tarnished reputation as a business destination and a state that needs to grow and needs to improve cost of living and public services cannot afford that.
I love living in Newport Beach. It’s a beautiful Oceanside community in Southern California. It represents everything that’s good about the American dream. I have no wish to see that American dream trampled by unfounded restrictions on our basic rights. Judge Shubb’s decision to place a temporary injunction against the state’s policy of forcing companies to falsely label products as potentially cancerous is a win for California and a win for America.
