Tennessee nurse, RaDonda Vaught, was sentenced to 3 years of supervised probation, evading a possible prison sentence of up to 8 years. The lighter than expected sentence sparked criticism from the nursing community that feels they are above the law and offered all kinds of excuses including insufficient staffing and a negative workplace culture.
If you are unfamiliar with the details of the sentencing of nurse RaDonda Vaught for felony reckless medical homicide and abuse of an impaired adult see this article. To be clear Vaught was found guilty of two (negligent homicide and gross neglect) of the three counts on March 25, 2022. She awaits sentencing where she faces up to eight years in prison. Medical errors are the third-leading cause of death in the United States.
Former Nurse Radonda Vaught’s Conviction Proves Allopathic “Medicine” is NOT Above the Law
Incredibly, allopathic physicians decry that a nurse’s conviction for “gross neglect of an impaired adult and negligent homicide” is somehow going to make their profession “worse”.
In an incredible display of prototypical allopathic hubris, the American Nurses Association issued a statement in response to the conviction of a nurse for “gross neglect of an impaired adult and negligent homicide” of a 75-year old patient.
Their statement read, in part, that they believe that the conviction sets a “dangerous precedent” of “criminalizing the honest reporting of mistakes.” They go on the claim that some medical errors are “inevitable,” citing nebulous and undefined more “effective and (more) just mechanisms” than criminal prosecution to address medical negligence.
I’ve written before about the dangers of having two sets of laws, and have compared medical boards to the Taliban who act to enforce devout compliance to whatever version of “medicine” they happen to have the most faith in this month. They persecute ethical physicians who tell the truth. They reward physicians who lie to their patients about vaccine injury & death risk.
The American Nurses Association complained that “(t)he nursing profession is already extremely short-staffed, strained and facing immense pressure — an unfortunate multi-year trend that was further exacerbated by the effects of the pandemic” and that “(t)his ruling will have a long-lasting negative impact on the profession.”
The “profession” of allopathic medicine has acted as if they are above the law for decades, treating criminal acts of their members as if they were internal matters. In my book, Cures vs. Profits I outlined the case of Dr. Farid Fata of Michigan, a cancer physician who, at age 50, pleaded guilty in 2015 to subjecting patients to cancer treatments who he had intentionally misdiagnosed with a terminal blood cancer called multiple myeloma. Some of the patients died (e.g., Kenneth Paul Loewen, RIP, d62) as a side effect of the chemotherapies he ordered for them. Fata was never charged with murder, or even manslaughter. In 2015, he pleaded guilty to 13 counts of Medicare fraud, one count of conspiracy to pay or receive kickbacks, and two counts of money laundering.
Over 550 families have filed information on Fata’s malpractice. In all, Fatah administered over 9,000 doses of unnecessary medicine. In May 2020, the convicted killer had the gall to apply for early “compassionate release” – get this – to avoid contracting COVID-19 in prison. His request was, justly, denied.
Other physicians get by via slick language manipulation, right under the noses of the citizens, their representatives, and the legal system. Take, for example, the current case. Directly from the nurse’s association statement: “We are deeply distressed by this verdict and the harmful ramifications of criminalizing the honest reporting of mistakes.”
The convicted felon, RaDonda Vaught, was never charged with “honest reporting of mistakes”. She was charged with “gross neglect of an impaired adult and negligent homicide”. Let that sink in. The American Nurses Association is trying to use DoubleSpeak to convey a completely different meaning of the former nurse’s conviction. Their language shows contempt for the US legal system.
The problem is not just hubris. It’s not just ignorance. It’s IRRATIONALITY. The value of feedback from society on what is working, and what is not working, which practices and medicine are safe, and which are not, is invaluable information that allopathic medicine should have been using all along to improve their industry. They have abandoned (literally) their oath to first, do no harm; they turned for profit in the mid-1980’s, and instead of heeding the warnings and feedback from patients and their families, they spend millions on denialist programs to hide the darkest parts of their industry and narcissistically gas-light and blame their victims.
Allopathy has proven that it cannot learn from its own internal system of “justice”. In their topsy-turvy world, there’s a thin white line: Medical boards penalize doctors and nurses for honest reporting of vaccine injury and death, but only prosecute medical negligence in the most egregious cases. The rest is swept out of sight by settlements paid out via medical malpractice insurance.
Some people cannot stand by silently while humanity is pushed through the allopathic sieve and ground to dust by fixed protocols and intentional misdiagnoses done for profit.
THIS is why over 100,000 nurses have left the “profession”. It’s not “unfortunate”. It’s a long overdue course correction in medical ethics.
It’s also about time society lay down the letter of the law. Kill us, and we’ll hold you accountable.
It’s time that those who still practice allopathic “medicine” take this message – and lesson – to heart and start using their brains.
It’s time you learn from your mistakes instead of burying them. It’s time that allopathic medical professionals with warped views of reality stop acting like spoiled brats and start acting like professionals.
As a Lyme warrior, how do I love and forgive this new version of myself, even though it’s not who I am at my core?
Lyme and other tick-borne diseases can change our lives drastically, especially with cases that go undiagnosed for a long time, or that hang on through months or years of treatment. Highly ambitious, highly active people might find themselves bedridden and unable to support themselves. I went from teaching full-time and skiing steep and deep terrain to living with my parents, barely able to climb a flight of stairs or read a paragraph. Unable to work or do the activities I loved, I began to question my purpose—even my very identity.
Here’s what I ultimately learned: my job and my capabilities only defined me if I let them. Of course, you feel sad, angry, and frustrated by the ways illness is holding you back. But ask yourself, besides skill, what did you bring to your job or activities? Was it a gregarious personality? An optimistic outlook? A sense of humor? Those qualities make up who you are at your core. I realized I could still lend a compassionate ear to a friend, find the humor in a ridiculous situation, or hold on to faith that things would get better, even when I was at my sickest.
It took many years of treatment, a shattering relapse, and many lifestyle changes for me to reach the state of remission I’ve now enjoyed for over a decade. Despite minor flare-ups, I have gotten better and better each year, able to do more and more. Am I back to my old life? No. But I’ve brought my old self into my new life—which includes working part-time, skiing, and living independently. I still lend a compassionate ear to a friend, find the humor in a ridiculous situation, and hold on to faith that things will get better. I’d argue that I love my core self even more for all that she’s survived, and for the vibrant new normal that she’s created.
You ask how to forgive yourself—and to that I must reply, for what? Now, this is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black, because I spent years blaming myself for my illness, beating myself up for not taking better care of myself, going over and over and over what I could or should or would have done. But I didn’t cause my illnesses; a tick did. I didn’t cause my symptoms; pathogens did. Are there ways I could have better cared for myself, or times when I took my frustration out on others that I feel badly about? Sure. But I’m human. We are all works in progress. I believe that extending compassion and grace to myself has allowed me to accept illness and its effects as just parts of my life—not the definition of who I am.
It may help to write about who you are at your core: what makes you who you are? How can you bring those qualities into your new, evolving life? You might also try writing a love letter to yourself, or even to your illness. Finally, it may be helpful do some cognitive behavioral therapy with a therapist who understands tick-borne illness.
Did you start to have a temper with your memory problems?
Before Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, babesiosis, and possible bartonella ravaged my brain, my memory was incredibly sharp. Thankfully, I still have a very strong long-term memory, which certainly helped as I was writing my memoir. But my short-term memory was affected by tick-borne illness, and that has been incredibly frustrating. If you find yourself getting upset when you can’t remember someone’s name, or yelling at yourself when you pour orange juice on your cereal, know that you are not alone. It’s normal to get mad when an illness is robbing you of what you know to be your normal capacity.
It’s also important to know that tick-borne diseases can cause psychiatric manifestations, including angry outbursts. If you’re feeling short-tempered, it may be a reaction to symptoms, but it also may be a symptom in and of itself. Finally, you must remember that fighting tick-borne illness takes a lot of energy, meaning you have none left over when something small but frustrating happens. This can cause what some people refer to as “Lyme rage,” that is, having an immediate temper flare over something that otherwise wouldn’t rattle you.
There’s no shame in talking to your LLMD about temper flares; your doctor may be able to alter your medications to help you. It also may help to see a Lyme Literate psychiatrist, and/or to talk to a therapist to figure out good coping skills when your temper does flare. Each of these steps helped me. My memory issues have improved as my tick-borne illnesses have abated. I still have moments of extreme frustration, but they’re fewer and farther between. With the right support, things can get better!

It’s a frightening thing to suddenly forget words or why you are standing in a room. Lyme/MSIDS does a number on you in virtually every way possible. Finding support during this time helps keep sanity. Just knowing others struggle with similar things is cathartic and gives you hope for recovery. I’m happy to report that after 5 years of treatment and a few relapses I have my cognitive capabilities back and no longer struggle with them.
Take a look at just about every ailment in medical literature, and there’s a good chance you’ll see “headache” listed as a possible symptom, but not all headaches are a result of underlying illness. Most people who get occasional headaches will pop an over-the-counter pain reliever and carry on, but it’s not always that simple for those battling chronic Lyme disease.
Lyme-induced headaches can be constant and debilitating, disrupting everyday tasks that can often be taken for granted — like walking the dog, making breakfast for the kids, or going to work. These symptoms can be so severe that getting out of bed to shower might be the day’s largest accomplishment, with modern headache medicine often unable to supply relief.
Approximately 80% of children and 50% of adults get Lyme-related headaches, with roughly 17% experiencing at least moderate migraines. Many continue suffering through the pain for months to years with little reprieve. Plus, added to the emotional stress of managing chronic headache pain is the maze of trying to figure out what triggered it in the first place.
So why does Lyme disease cause headaches? And what can you do to find lasting relief? If you’ve been struggling for a while with Lyme and the headaches that often accompany this complex illness, consider whether the following might be contributing factors for you. Although some people might stumble upon a quick fix, that’s probably not the norm for most, so you may have to be persistent in your healing efforts before noticing changes.
5 Lyme Headache Causes and Solutions
Cause 1: Untreated Microbes
A common misperception about microbes is that they’re generally bad and should be killed. However, our bodies house trillions of helpful microorganisms, which outnumber our own cells by about 10 to 1 and account for up to 3% of our body weight. They’re essential to maintaining homeostasis and balancing our body’s microbiome.
But this balance can be upset when Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme, and coinfections, including bartonella, babesia, and mycoplasma, among others, proliferate throughout the body. The result? They may entrench themselves into places like the brain, kicking up a storm of headache-causing neuroinflammation as the body tries its best to corral the stealth pathogens.
Solution: Suppress Microbes with Antimicrobial Herbs
To make some progress, you may need to focus on long-term ways to suppress harmful microbes. Herbal antimicrobials may not be as potent outright as traditional antibiotics, but they can combat bacteria over an extended period of time without disrupting the microbiome or the toxicity that can come with aggressive drug therapies. Herbs also boost immunity and tame inflammation — typically not something antibiotics have a flair for. Top herbal choices include:
Andrographis:Andrographis has a longstanding history of medicinal use in India, and it contains antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic properties. It also has immune-enhancing, cardioprotective, and liver-protective qualities.
Cat’s claw: Native to the Amazon region, cat’s claw contains antimicrobial properties and is a foundational herb in most Lyme disease protocols. Additionally, it has immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory qualities.
Japanese knotweed:Japanese knotweed with resveratrol has been used for centuries in traditional Asian medicine, and it’s a potent antioxidant with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The herb may also assist in combating bartonella.
Chinese skullcap: As a multi-purpose herb, Chinese skullcap has antimicrobial properties, decreases cytokines, and supports immunity. It works well with other herbal remedies to enhance their effectiveness.
Sarsaparilla: The root of sarsaparilla has been used throughout the tropics for inflammatory conditions of the skin, connective tissues, and the bowel. It binds to and helps dispose of endotoxins that are released from microbes during die-off.
Exciting research published in Frontiers adds credence to the use of plant extracts to combat persistent infections. Japanese knotweed, in particular, offered superior protection against a wide range of microbes by busting biofilms and crossing the blood-brain barrier, where Lyme can impact different regions in the brain and potentially produce headaches. Other herbs that showed antimicrobial properties were black walnut, sweet wormwood, Mediterranean rockrose, and cryptolepis, and they were capable of outperforming common Lyme-fighting antibiotics like doxycycline.
If you’re new to herbal therapy, working with a well-trained, Lyme-literate practitioner or doctor can help you find the right blend of antimicrobial herbs to reduce the frequency and intensity of your Lyme headaches.
Cause 2: Herxheimer Reactions
Herxheimer reactions (usually referred to as a herx or herxing) can occur within days of starting or increasing dosages in your Lyme protocol. And while plant-based antimicrobials are gentler on the body than antibiotics, they still effectively kill bacteria, which means they’re not exempt from causing herx reactions, including headaches, due to pathogenic die-off.
When these microscopic bugs are attacked and killed, pieces of dead bacteria called endotoxins can create an inflammatory autoimmune-like response. If you find your headaches increase after introducing any form of antimicrobial agents to your system, it may be a sign that you’re not expelling endotoxins fast enough.
Solution: Detoxify Your Body
Getting your organs of elimination (colon, skin, liver, kidneys, lymph, and lungs) opened up and operating optimally is at the core of minimizing herx reactions, and there are many ways to detox and expel inflammatory endotoxins to improve head pain:
Clean Your Pipes
Constipation is a sign of hampered digestion, keeping toxins stuck in your body and recirculating when they need to get out. Eating a whole-food diet full of fibrous fruits and veggies supports a healthy gut microbiome and increases your ability to export toxins. If diet alone isn’t doing the trick, natural remedies like castor oil packs on the belly, professional colonics, or supplementing with magnesium may keep things flowing.
Sweat It Out
Sweating through your body’s largest elimination organ, the skin, is imperative to ejecting toxins. Exercise is a great way to induce sweat but not necessarily when you’re in the throes of a Lyme headache or migraine. If you’re feeling too depleted for exercise, far-infrared (FIR) saunas, red light therapy, or heating pads can raise your body temperature and spark a toxin-removing sweat session while honoring your need for rest.
Support Your Liver
Your liver works hard to filter toxic waste from the blood and breakdown harmful substances in the body — support it with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), a valuable antioxidant and glutathione precursor which helps reduce inflammatory cytokines, protect nerve tissues, and combat the toxins that may trigger migraines. One study found that NAC helps reduce the frequency of monthly headaches when combined with vitamins C and E as a preventative measure.
Manage Your Lymph Fluid
Much like the circulatory system carries nutrient-rich blood into our cells for nourishment, the lymphatic system has a similar network of vessels that carries waste away from those same cells, helping us stay healthy by fighting infection. However, there’s one major difference: Our hearts automatically pump blood, whereas our lymphatic system has no such pump and requires the action of your muscles and respiratory system to keep it moving. Manage your lymph fluid by exercising, dry brushing your skin, and adequately hydrating to help your body remove toxic waste.
Be Mindful of Your Breath
Deep breathing has displayed a number of detoxifying effects on the body by reducing stress and circulating lymph. Evidence also shows deep breathing can alter the perception of pain by modulating the sympathetic nervous system through relaxation. A breathing technique that can help your body’s ability to rest and digest is the down-regulated breath, which involves slowing your breathing down to four breaths (or less) per minute.
How to practice down-regulated breathing: In a seated or resting position, slowly inhale through your nose for a count of eight, raising your belly and then your lungs. Hold for a bit at the top of the breath. Then, exhale through your nose while deflating your belly and lungs for a count of eight.
Practice this for a few rounds until you feel yourself relaxing. Because of the strong parasympathetic response, this breath is best done after a meal, before bed, or any time you feel anxious (never while driving). It may take time to reach a full eight counts on each inhale and exhale, but with practice, you’ll find your rhythm.
Cause 3: Food Sensitivities
True food allergies and intolerances are hard to miss and can even be life-threatening in some cases. But for many with Lyme, subtle food sensitivities form slowly and go undetected as a result of leaky gut syndrome — an inflammatory condition caused by intestinal permeability, usually due to long-lived gut imbalances from infections, prolonged antibiotic use, poor diet, and stress. Indeed, many people can pinpoint specific foods that bring on headaches and migraines, but what can be done about it?
Solution: Work on Gut Health
While nixing the offending foods should be at the top of the to-do list to minimize headaches, healing your gut is also a priority so that you don’t have to avoid these foods forever. Demulcent herbs like slippery elm can rebuild the mucosa in your gut lining, while digestive enzymes aid in breaking down the food you eat. The abundant amino acid L-glutamine shows ample ability to increase the tight junction proteins needed for a strong intestinal wall. Additionally, bitter herbs like dandelion and burdock will also take a load off the liver to assist digestion.
Cause 4: Medications
Headaches are a side effect of some antibiotics. Those with chronic Lyme disease have often tried a range of antibiotic interventions, making it difficult to tell if the headaches stem from medication use or the illness itself. What’s more, in an effort to cope with head pain or migraines, the overuse of certain pain-relieving medications often end up doing the opposite of their intended design: Instead of alleviating headaches, they wind up causing them.
Solution: Seek Natural Pain Relief
Magnesium
Research suggests that different forms of magnesium, the crucial mineral responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, has promising potential for migraine relief, with intravenous (IV) magnesium sulphate offering the most impressive results. But if IV magnesium isn’t realistic every time you have a Lyme-related headache, supplementing it may be beneficial for you. However, not all magnesium is created equal. For example, inexpensive magnesium oxide isn’t readily absorbed by the body and may cause loose stools and stomach upset. Instead, opt for such bioavailable forms as magnesium glycinate or liposomal magnesium, the form of the mineral most able to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a non-invasive way to gain greater awareness and control over certain body functions, and it’s proven itself as a useful tool to reduce migraines as well. As a matter of fact, a study published in Behavioral and Brain Functions found migraine frequency and symptom severity were cut in half for up to 70% in the study participants.
The average sustained results lasted around 14.5 months after therapies were discontinued — and one of three biofeedback therapies used in the trial, hemoencephalography (HEG), was considered to be a superior migraine management tool compared to other biofeedback options. Plus, when administered by a trained professional (like a healthcare provider), most insurance carriers often cover biofeedback sessions.
Curcumin
This primary anti-inflammatory compound found in the spice turmeric has been attributed to providing potent pain relief, according to one study in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine. Curcumin has proven its power to reduce the severity, frequency, and duration of headache and migraine symptoms by targeting the same NF-kB and COX pathways as aspirin and ibuprofen, thereby regulating pain and inflammation known to cause migraine headaches.
Cause 5: Chronic Stress
It’s a safe bet that if we were to dig to the root of all illness, some form of physical, mental, or emotional stress could be found. In fact, according to a study published in The Journal of Headache and Pain, perceived stress is the most common trigger of chronic migraines. There are proven ways to modulate our body’s stress response, but finding the methods that work best for you is what matters most — as it should be something you can maintain long enough to experience the benefits.
Solution: Calm Your Nervous System
Learning to self-soothe in stressful situations can go a long way toward curbing headaches. However, if you feel like you’ve tried everything to get rid of them, get back to the basics with a stress-reducing, mind-body practice, where you can be in control. But don’t let this be one more thing on your to-do list that stresses you out, too. Keep it simple by choosing one practice you feel curious about, start slow, and be consistent. Some mind-body options to consider include:
Managing these five causes can go a long way toward warding off future headaches and migraines caused by Lyme (and life). And while it may seem overwhelming to keep up with it all, investing time and effort into just a few of these solutions will eventually pay off. Keep at it, even if relief isn’t felt overnight. It can and often does get better.

In 2020, G20 governments, in collusion with the World Economic Forum’s Stakeholders, discretely and undemocratically enacted a global ten-year transition to an authoritarian political system, called Stakeholder Capitalism.
Founded in 1971 by Klaus Schwab who states stakeholder capitalism, run by a single, global political system that provides authority to stakeholders, will replace the two political systems used by countries around the world. The WEF has made it its mission to capture the heads of mainstream media and a majority of media professionals, all of which are now indoctrinated by its propaganda. It censors and maligns anyone who dissents.
For over 30 years Schwab has infiltrated the upper echelons of politics and business through his Young Global Leaders (YGL) initiative. Key words used in this movement are:
“Our life in 10 years from now will be completely different, very much affected,” Schwab explained, “and who masters those technologies, in some way, will be the master of the world.”

This recent article clearly shows the WEF is all about depopulation. Excerpt:
In a viral video circulating on Twitter, WEF speaker J. Carl Ganter says to Jagadish “Jaggi” Vasudev that there was a “sense of relief” over Vasudev’s “frankness” during a WEF session because he freely spoke about an issue others are reluctant to bring up — mainly, depopulation.
“That’s my trouble, always,” Vasudev responds. “All the religious groups are against me because I’m talking about population.”
“They want more souls; I want lesson the planet,” Vasudev adds before both men break out in laughter.
Please read this article titled “WEF’s Top 10 Scary Ideas – And How They Could Affect Your Future.” In short, this internation organization run by German engineer and WEF founder Klaus Schwab and other members of the technocratic elite simply wants to do away with the democratic process and give all ownership and control to the deep state. The article highlights the following 10 WEF scary ideas (See this article for videos detailing it all):
Multiple Democratic Governments Buying into WEF Agenda & Mass Surveillance

In short, technology initially created for good can be used for nefarious purposes. Expensive technology also tends to replace low-tech, inexpensive solutions. We have seen this blatantly regarding COVID treatments, in that expensive, ineffective, toxic treatments are chosen over inexpensive, effective, safe treatments due to conflicts of interest, but the public continues to believe corrupt public health‘authorities’ who are so crooked they walk sideways.
Science has been hijacked by the highest bidder, and scientists have now become competitors in a high risk game vying for research dollars making them nothing more than puppets for Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, and politics. The DARPA article talks about a 2018 Muckrock Magazine article which discusses a FOIA find on remote control brain mapping. This 2021 article discusses The Internet of Bodies and how 5G, COVID, the COVID shots, graphene, The Great Reset, Blockchain, and the 4th Industrial Revolution are ALL CONNECTED. Everything now is focused on the WHO consolidating power in a “pandemic treaty,” which will be the end of freedom as we know it.
Hopefully the past two years have demonstrated that putting power in the hands of the few is never a good idea and centralizing/monopolizing personal data will spell doom for freedom as we know it. The following articles detail how this agenda is being pushed virtually everywhere. It’s always presented with the simplistic mantra, “for the greater good.” The ‘powers that be’ rarely, if ever, discuss the downsides, or the fact once the genie is out of the bottle it’s virtually impossible to put it back in. Few discuss ethics. Few know that algorithms are being used against people – even to take away children from their parents. Imagine whittling the complexities of Lyme/MSIDS down to an algorithm and then making major decisions based upon this. Oh wait! This has been going on for decades.
I recently posted an article on releasing GMO mice on Nantucket in effort to eradicate Lyme disease as well as the recent GMO mosquito release, also to supposedly eradicate disease, but similarly to the COVID injections, nobody has a clue about downstream future effects, and I assure you, ZERO connections are being made between these efforts and any negative health or environmental consequences. In fact, dissenters are shouted down, censored, and banned – and it’s only getting worse.
Gates has a new book coming out this week where he outlines the need for a firefighter-like pandemic task force named “global epidemic response and mobilization,” or GERM, that would be a part of the WHO and could stop outbreaks of disease from spreading.
Bill Gates has announced the creation of a pandemic “GERM” team that will monitor sovereign nations and decide when they need to suspend people’s civil liberties, force them to wear masks, and close borders.
Please read this article on how Gates has been buying the controlling interest in the WHO for over a decade through the Gates Foundation, as well as other organizations and enterprises he funds. As an unelected official, he has been influencing public health policy for decades. Fauci (NIAID), Collins (NIH), and Birx(doctor on the White House Coronavirus Task Force under Trump & sits on the Board of The Global Fund)have financial ties to Gates as well as Moderna, a COVID “vaccine” manufacturer. The conflicts of interest between Gates and our public health ‘authorities’ is astounding.
Newsweek reported: Bill Gates made a dry joke about tracking people using COVID vaccines while giving a talk about pandemic prevention.
unify public health data systems at the state and federal levels

It is clearly evident that the CDC wants to monopolize data. Do we really want the CDC to have even MORE data, power, and authority when it has bungled nearly every single thing it has touched? This centralized data could then easily be used by the WHO, the WEF, or any other globalist group that wants to tyrannically rule the world.
According to an article written last year, the U.S. is on course to become a ‘digital dictatorship’ under a proposed biomedical research agency. This agency would merge national security with public health, a perfect formula for a dangerous agenda that would destroy medical freedom as we know it.
This agency would “use both physical and mental health ‘warning signs’ to prevent outbreaks of disease or violence before they occur. Such a system is a recipe for a technocratic ‘pre-crime’ organization with the potential to criminalize both mental and physical illness as well as ‘wrongthink.’”
This article proves the political interference at HHS as well as the fact governments are working in lockstep to bring in digital I.D.s & a social credit system.
A California bill is now threatening to strip doctors of their medical licenses if they express medical views that the state does not agree with. California Assembly Bill 2098 designates “the dissemination or promotion of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or ‘COVID-19,’ as unprofessional conduct” warranting “disciplinary action” that could result in the loss of their medical license
Misinformation related to SARS-CoV-2 includes “false or misleading information regarding the nature and risks of the virus, its prevention and treatment; and the development, safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.” But as far as what might constitute “misinformation” or “disinformation” is unclear and basically left open for interpretation by the state
Doctors have an ethical obligation to treat each patient as an individual, and to ensure each patient receives the safest and best care. Bill 2098 will turn doctors into government agents, leaving no one to advocate for patients’ health
California has also introduced six other bills seeking to enshrine tyranny into law, including bills to criminalize “amplification of harmful content,” create a centralized vaccination registry, strip funding from law enforcement that refuses to follow public health orders, mandate COVID jabs for school children, authorize minors to consent to vaccination, and require school districts to conduct routine COVID testing

One of the most stunning parts of this pandemic has been the denial of basic science, and one of the most shocking developments from that has been the attack on medical doctors who try to set the record straight.
As reported by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya — professor of health policy at Stanford, research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and coauthor of the Great Barrington Declaration, which calls for focused protection of the most vulnerable1 — a California bill is now threatening to strip doctors of their medical licenses if they express medical views that the state does not agree with.2
Bhattacharya’s Personal Battle
Bhattacharya has first-hand experience with this kind of witch hunt. He was one of the first to investigate the prevalence of COVID-19 in 2020, and found that by April, the infection was already too prevalent for lockdowns to have any possibility of stopping the spread.
Bhattacharya has called the COVID-19 lockdowns the “biggest public health mistake ever made,”3 stressing that the harms caused have been “absolutely catastrophically devastating,” especially for children and the working class, worldwide.4
After Bhattacharya co-sponsored the Great Barrington Declaration, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and his former boss, now retired National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Francis Collins, colluded behind the scenes to quash the declaration from day 1.5
To that end, they set out to smear and destroy the reputations of Bhattacharya and the other coauthors of the declaration. In one email, Collins referred to the three highly credentialed and respected scientists as “fringe epidemiologists” and called for a press “takedown” of the trio.6,7,8,9 I detailed this treachery in “Authors of Barrington Declaration Speak Out.”
“Big tech outlets like Facebook and Google followed suit, suppressing our ideas, falsely deeming them ‘misinformation,’” Bhattacharya writes.10“I started getting calls from reporters asking me why I wanted to ‘let the virus rip,’ when I had proposed nothing of the sort. I was the target of racist attacks and death threats.
Despite the false, defamatory and sometimes frightening attacks, we stood firm. And today many of our positions have been amply vindicated. Yet the soul searching this episode should have caused among public health officials has largely failed to occur. Instead, the lesson seems to be: Dissent at your own risk.
I do not practice medicine — I am a professor specializing in epidemiology and health policy at Stanford Medical School. But many friends who do practice have told me how they have censored their thoughts about COVID lockdowns, vaccines, and recommended treatment to avoid the mob …
This forced scientific groupthink — and the fear and self-censorship they produce — are bad enough. So far, though, the risk has been social and reputational. Now it could become literally career-ending.”
Do You Want Your Doctor To Be Muzzled by the State?
California Assembly Bill 209811 — introduced by Assemblyman Evan Low, a Silicon Valley Democrat, and coauthored by Assembly members Aguiar-Curry, Akilah Weber and Wicks, and Sens. Pan and Wiener — designates “the dissemination or promotion of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or ‘COVID-19,’ as unprofessional conduct” warranting “disciplinary action” that could result in the loss of their medical license.
Misinformation or disinformation related to SARS-CoV-2 includes “false or misleading information regarding the nature and risks of the virus, its prevention and treatment; and the development, safety, and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.” But as far as what might constitute “misinformation” or “disinformation” is unclear and basically left open for interpretation — by the state. As noted by Bhattacharya:12
“Doctors, fearing loss of their livelihoods, will need to hew closely to the government line on COVID science and policy, even if that line does not track the scientific evidence.
After all, until recently, top government science bureaucrats like Dr. Fauci claimed that the idea that COVID came from a Wuhan laboratory was a conspiracy theory, rather than a valid hypothesis that should be open to discussion. The government’s track record on discerning COVID truths is poor.
The bill claims that the spread of misinformation by physicians about the COVID vaccines ‘has weakened public confidence and placed lives at serious risk.’ But how significant is this problem in reality? Over 83% of Californians over the age of 50 are fully vaccinated (including the booster) …
What is abundantly clear is that this bill represents a chilling interference with the practice of medicine. The bill itself is full of misinformation and a demonstration of what a disaster it would be to have the legislature dictate the practice of medicine.”
The Shanghai Model
We don’t have to guess at what life might look like if this and other bills like it are implemented, Bhattacharya warns. The drama currently playing out in Shanghai offers a clear look into what can happen when public health is dictated by the state rather than by qualified medical professionals rooted in sound science.
“Shanghai is the model for the terrifying dangers of giving dictatorial powers to public health officials,” Bhattacharya writes.13“The harrowing situation unfolding there is a testament to the folly of a virus containment strategy that relies on lockdown.
For two weeks, the Chinese government has locked nearly 25 million people in their homes, forcibly separated children from their parents, killed family pets, and limited access to food and life-saving medical care — all to no avail. COVID cases are still rising, yet the delusion of suppressing COVID persists.
In America, many of our officials still have not abandoned their delusions about COVID and the exercise of power this crisis has allowed. As the Shanghai debacle demonstrates, of all the many terrible consequences of our public health response to COVID, the stifling of dissenting scientific viewpoints by the state might be the most dangerous.”
The Science Deniers Are in Power
As stressed by Bhattacharya, the California bill includes a number falsehoods and fails to acknowledge basic science, starting with natural immunity. High-quality studies have repeatedly shown that natural immunity is equivalent or superior to the COVID shots. Were this bill to pass, a California doctor could lose his license for taking a patient’s COVID history into account when recommending the shot.
It also negates doctors’ ability to prescribe off-label drugs for the treatment of COVID, even though this has been a common and uncontroversial medical practice for many decades. It’s not uncommon for a drug intended for one condition to be used off-label for another. But for some reason, when it comes to COVID, this practice is now deemed hazardous and unprofessional.
The bill also falsely asserts that the “safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines have been confirmed through evaluation by the federal Food and Drug Administration.” Anyone who has followed this circus over the past year realizes that the FDA has completely ignored loud and clear warning bells showing the shots are far from safe and nowhere near as effective as initially claimed.
The bill also ignores the fact that the safety depends on the individual patient’s medical history and current state of health. “For example, there is an elevated risk of myocarditis in young mentaking the vaccine, especially with the booster,” Bhattacharya notes.14
Doctors have an ethical obligation to treat each patient as an individual, and to ensure each patient receives the safest and best care. Bill 2098 will turn doctors into government agents, leaving no one to advocate for patients’ health.
“The false medical consensus enforced by AB 2098 will lead doctors to censor themselves to avoid government sanction. And it will be their patients, above all, who will be harmed by their silence,” Bhattacharya warns.
Californians, Vote NO on COVID Tyranny Bills
California Bill 2098 isn’t the only bill seeking to enshrine tyranny into law. Other pending California bills include:15
Senate Bill 1390,16 introduced by Sen. Pan, which seeks to criminalize “amplification of harmful content” on social media platforms.
Assembly Bill 1797,17 introduced by Assembly member Weber, which calls for the creation of a centralized vaccination registry.
Senate Bill 1464,18 introduced by Pan, which would strip state funding from any law enforcement agency that “publicly announces that they will not follow, or adopts a policy stating that they will not follow, a public health order.”
Those funds would instead be reallocated to the county public health department. Essentially, this bill would coerce sheriffs and police officers to violate their conscience or the law, or both, in the name of “public health policy.”
Senate Bill 871,19 introduced by Pan, which would mandate all school children, ages 5 and older, be “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19. The bill would also repeal exceptions to mandatory hepatitis B vaccination to attend school, and would remove the personal belief exemption against vaccination.
Senate Bill 866,20 introduced by Wiener and Pan, which would authorize minors, 12 years and older, to consent to vaccines without the consent of a parent or guardian.
Senate Bill 1479,21 introduced by Pan, which would expand “contagious, infectious, or communicable disease testing and other public health mitigation efforts to include prekindergarten, onsite after school programs, and child care centers,” and require each school district, county office of education, and charter school to create a COVID-19 testing plan, and report testing data to State Department of Public Health.
If you live in California, please review these bills and VOTE NO.In a Substack article, Margaret Anna Alice, offers the following guidance to Californians:22
“If you are a resident of California, please consider taking the additional step of contacting your respective senators and assembly members in addition to filling out the online portal. See Californians for Medical Freedom for step-by-step instructions on how to contact your local legislators as well as what to say if you decide to call (which is recommended).
The PERK website is also a very helpful way to track the hearing dates and status of these bills. In the comments, Donald Tipon has provided additional links for opposing AB2098 and AB1797 from A Voice for Choice Advocacy.”
Front Groups Marshal the Ignorant
Regulating the medical views a doctor can and cannot have is dangerous in the extreme, and hopefully the Californians who are left to vote in that state will quash such efforts. On the national level, we must also stay vigilant against similar legislative proposals, and push back against phony front groups that promote this kind of medical tyranny.
This includes the No License for Disinformation23 (NLFD)group, which promotes the false information disseminated by the dark-money group known as the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
As most now know, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a medical doctor in his own right, has been the primary challenger of Fauci’s lies, and the NLFD has been instructing individuals to report him to the Kentucky Medical Board, with the aim of getting his medical license revoked.24
Just who are the NLFD?25 In November 2021, I wrote about the NLFD, pointing out that the bottom of their website declared, “Created & Developed by EverydayAmericanJoe.”26 At the time, I took a screenshot of it, in case they’d wise up and change it. Good thing, because that notice has since been deleted.
And, no wonder, because it leads right back to the Biden White House. EverydayAmericanJoe, created by a marketing strategist named Chris Gilroy, was a website dedicated to supporting Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. (That website has since been disabled.27)
According to his LinkedIn profile,28 Gilroy created EverydayAmericanJoe.com — “the largest Biden-Harris grassroots website online” — as a freelance senior marketing consultant and designer for the Biden campaign. Since 2007, he’s been the president of The Microtechs LLC, an online marketing, web development and digital advertising firm that produces custom websites and apps “that our clients can manage themselves.”
Aside from the EverydayAmericanJoe clue, there’s no indication of who is actually running the NLFD. It simply claims to be a “nonpartisan grassroots coalition of Americans” whose goal it is to get state medical boards to “protect the public” from medical professionals “who spread medical disinformation.” In all likelihood, the NLFD is run by a coalition of one — Gilroy himself — who is far from nonpartisan.
Not surprisingly, the NLFD has promoted and relied on the CCDH’s fabricated “Disinformation Dozen” report, which has even been denounced as biased and flawed in the extreme by Facebook.29
It’s quite clear that the CCDH exists to fabricate “evidence” that is then used to destroy the opposition in order to control the information, and the NLFD uses the CCDH’s fabrications as justification to suppress First Amendment rights.30 Indeed, Biden himself has publicly promoted and relied on this dark money CCDH report.31
The point of all this is that the censorship is being authorized and directed from the very highest level of our government, and there’s only one reason for that. Democracy flourishes under free speech and dies under censorship, and anyone who claims differently has an ulterior motive for trying to confuse these simple truths.
In my view, the war against “misinformation” and “disinformation” is nothing less than a covert war against the citizens of planet Earth. It’s an attempt to seize power by controlling what people can know, and a number of high-profile world leaders, past and present, have shown their true colors.
Among them, former president Obama, who in April 2022 gave lectures at the University of Chicago and Stanford, arguing for the regulation of information — what people can and cannot view on social media and elsewhere — “to protect democracy.”32
However, as noted by nonresident senior fellow of the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research (AEI), Mark Jamison, “Such controls have done the opposite throughout history and would this time too.”33
An Open War on the Public
We find ourselves in a situation where asking valid questions about public health measures are equated to acts of domestic terrorism. It’s unbelievable, yet here we are. Over the past two years, the rhetoric used against those who question the sanity of using unscientific pandemic countermeasures, such as face masks and lockdowns, or share data showing that COVID-19 gene therapies are really bad public health policy, has become increasingly violent.
Dr. Peter Hotez, a virologist who for years has been at the forefront of promoting vaccines of all kinds, for example, has publicly called for cyberwarfare assaults on American citizens who disagree with official COVID narratives, and this vile rhetoric was published in the prestigious science journal Nature, of all places.34
Doctors and nurses are now facing the untenable position of having to choose between doing right by their patients and toeing the line of totalitarianism. This simply cannot go on. It’s profoundly unhealthy and dangerous in a multitude of ways.
While frustrating and intimidating, we must all be relentless in our pursuit and sharing of the truth, and we must relentlessly demand our elected representatives stand up for freedom of speech and other Constitutional rights, including, and especially, the rights of medical doctors to express their medical opinions.
