No, but the doctors should be required to disclose that the advice contradicts contemporary scientific consensus

Requiring disclosure aligns closely with Third Way values of transparency, informed choice, and accountability. It allows for the exploration of new or unconventional ideas while ensuring that patients are aware of how such advice fits within the broader scientific consensus, embodying a pragmatic and balanced approach.

Slightly disagree

No

While Third Way proponents value freedom of choice and innovation, they also recognize the importance of evidence-based practices in healthcare. They might disagree with a blanket refusal to penalize doctors for contradicting scientific consensus due to potential risks to public health, but would also be wary of overly punitive measures that stifle professional judgment and innovation.

Disagree

Yes, and the doctors should also lose their medical license

Third Way ideology, with its emphasis on moderation and balance, would likely view the loss of a medical license as too severe a punishment for contradicting scientific consensus without considering the nuances of individual cases. It would prefer a more measured approach that balances accountability with the potential for medical innovation.
