Federal judge dismisses John Stockton, Kennedy Jr. lawsuit against AG FergusonLawsuit sought to stop medical commission investigation of doctors spreading COVID misinformation
SPOKANE — A federal judge agreed with Attorney General Bob Ferguson today, dismissing a lawsuit filed by former basketball player John Stockton, two doctors accused of spreading COVID-19 misinformation and an organization founded by presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The lawsuit, filed in March in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington, attempted to stop the Washington Medical Commission from enforcing its unprofessional conduct regulations against the physicians.
The commission charged doctors Thomas Siler and Richard Eggleston with unprofessional conduct for spreading COVID misinformation in newspaper opinion columns and online. The doctors’ articles included false claims that vaccines are unsafe and COVID tests are inaccurate, as well as lauding alternative treatments that are scientifically proven to be ineffective and even potentially dangerous. Neither physician has been sanctioned by the commission, as its proceedings are ongoing.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas O. Rice granted Ferguson’s motion to dismiss the case today.
“Adding famous names to a baseless lawsuit can’t change what it is,” Ferguson said. “If you want to practice medicine in Washington, you just play by the rules. These doctors must face the medical commission and answer for their actions.”
This lawsuit is not the first case attempting to stop the commission’s investigations. Eggleston was part of a lawsuit against the commission in 2023 before the same federal judge and seeking the same relief. Judge Rice also dismissed that case.
The previous case did not have Stockton or Kennedy’s organization as plaintiffs. A third doctor, Daniel Moynihan, who filings identify as a volunteer with Kennedy’s Children’s Health De
