I fail to understand why "libertarians" who complain about banning Covid disinformation quacks on social media on grounds of "free speech", don't complain as loudly about laws that require a *license* to practice medicine, and give medical advice, even verbally. #Idiots — PolitiTweet.org

Note 1: A reminder that Von Mises and Hayek were not against the state like today's "libertarians". They just wanted the state outside of economic life. My idea of the state: it is for tail risks, s.a. wars, pandemics, safety, etc. (exactly as Hayek phrased it). Like medication. — PolitiTweet.org
