"Tracy Beth Høeg, another participant in the October roundtable, is an orthopedist and epidemiologist currently working as a researcher at the Florida Department of Health. The author of several studies that find fault with masking and vaccination policies, she’s a member of Urgency of Normal, a group of physicians who opposed masking requirements in schools. She’s also a plaintiff in a lawsuit against California governor Gavin Newsom, the state attorney general, and the Medical Board of California over a new law that prohibits physicians from spreading medical misinformation. Høeg and the other plaintiffs claim their first amendment rights have been violated."
