Reversed Burden Silences Health Critics

Section 30(6) reverses the burden of proof, requiring accused persons to prove their health statements are "true or accurate" rather than requiring the government to prove falsity. This violates fundamental due process principles and creates a chilling effect on legitimate public health discourse—medical professionals discussing emerging treatments, journalists reporting on health policy controversies, or citizens criticizing government pandemic responses must now prove their statements meet undefined "accuracy" standards or face criminal penalties. The provision particularly threatens political speech about public health policy (vaccination mandates, lockdowns, treatment protocols), allowing government to criminalize policy criticism by forcing critics to prove their alternative views are "accurate"—an impossible standard for contested scientific and policy debates.
