Reducing misinformation is likely a priority for the EPP, given its broader commitment to public health and safety. This answer aligns with their likely stance on promoting evidence-based practices in medicine and protecting patients from potentially harmful advice.

Agree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP), being a center-right political group, generally supports policies that uphold professional standards and public health safety. Penalizing doctors who give advice contradicting scientific consensus aligns with maintaining high medical standards. However, the EPP also values individual freedom and might be cautious about overly punitive measures.

Slightly agree

No, only when the advice was proven to harm the patient

The EPP would likely agree with the principle that doctors should not be penalized unless their advice has been proven to harm the patient, reflecting a balance between professional accountability and the complexity of medical practice. However, they might view this position as potentially insufficient to prevent the spread of misinformation.

Neutral

No, scientific consensus can quickly change and patients should be allowed to try unconventional ideas

The EPP's position on this issue would be nuanced. On one hand, they recognize the importance of scientific consensus in medicine. On the other, they value innovation and might be open to unconventional ideas within a regulated framework. This answer reflects a balance that might resonate with their broader principles but could be seen as too lenient on potentially dangerous medical advice.

Slightly disagree

No

While the EPP values freedom, including in professional practices, it is unlikely to support a stance that could endanger public health by allowing potentially harmful medical advice to go unchecked. Their commitment to evidence-based policy would make them hesitant to fully endorse this position.

Disagree

Yes, and the doctors should also lose their medical license

This answer might be seen as too extreme for the EPP, which tends to support balanced approaches. While they would agree with the need to uphold scientific standards in medicine, permanently revoking medical licenses for contradicting scientific consensus without considering the complexity of medical science and the potential for evolving evidence might be seen as disproportionate.
