Agree

Yes, this will decrease the amount of misinformation patients receive

ALDE's commitment to public health and evidence-based policy aligns with the goal of reducing misinformation in healthcare. They would likely see the value in measures that ensure patients receive accurate information, though they would balance this with concerns for personal freedom and professional autonomy.

Agree

Yes

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports evidence-based policy and might agree that doctors giving advice that contradicts scientific consensus could be harmful. However, their liberal stance on individual freedoms and professional autonomy might temper their support for outright penalization.

Slightly agree

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

While ALDE supports scientific consensus, their liberal principles also value innovation and the exploration of new ideas, which might include unconventional medical practices. However, this support would likely be cautious and not extend to endorsing potentially harmful treatments.

Neutral

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

This position might represent a middle ground for ALDE, balancing their support for evidence-based healthcare with a liberal approach to personal and professional freedom. They would likely agree that harm to the patient is a clear line that should not be crossed, but may have reservations about preemptive penalties.

Slightly disagree

No

ALDE's emphasis on freedom and individual rights suggests a reluctance to support blanket penalties for doctors.

Disagree

Yes, and the doctors should also lose their medical license
