WI Public Hearing Tomorrow: Consumer Access to Complementary and Alternative Health Practitioners Bill – Submit Testimony Now
SUPPORT AB 23 and AB 25 Prohibiting COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates by State and Local Health and Employers
Dear Wisconsin NVIC Advocacy Team Members,
Your action is needed to support two good bills that are scheduled for a hearing in the Assembly Committee on Constitution and Ethics on Wednesday, March 3, at 10:00 AM.
AB 23 would prohibit the Department of Health and local health officials from mandating COVID-19 vaccines and AB 25 would prohibit employers from mandating COVID-19 vaccines as a condition of employment. These are companion bills to SB 4 and SB 5 that passed the Senate Committee on Human Resources on 1/21/2021. We need these bills to pass on the Assembly side too.
ACTION NEEDED:
- Attend the hearing on 3/3/2021 beginning at 10:00 AM in North Hearing Room (2nd Floor North) and offer testimony in support of AB 23 and AB 25. Social distancing guidelines may limit seating available in the North Hearing Room. Individuals who testify in-person may be asked to leave the room following their testimony, allowing other people to enter the room for testimony. Time limits may be imposed to allow all registrants an opportunity to testify. Additional public access may be provided through an overflow room and the State Capitol Rotunda. Members of the public may submit testimony and hearing slip information to the chairman at rep.wichgers@legis.wi.gov See agenda and Information on how to testify at a public hearing. There is no virtual option for individuals who wish to speak but are unable to attend.
- If you are unable to attend in person, you can submit written testimony to William Neville, Clerk for the Assembly Committee on Constitution and Ethics at William.Neville@legis.wisconsin.gov. Copies of your written testimony will be distributed to committee members.
- Contact members of the Assembly Committee on Constitution and Ethics and ask them to support AB 23 and AB 25. See contact information and talking points below.

TALKING POINTS (personalize these to explain why passing these bills is important to you and your family)
- AB 23 and AB 25 need to be passed to prevent COVID-19 vaccine mandates from denying law abiding healthy citizens the ability to work or participate in society.
- COVID-19 vaccine mandates are already happening. Atria Senior Living is requiring all 14,000 of its employees across 26 states, to receive 2 COVID-19 vaccines by May 1, 2021 as a condition of employment. A Wisconsin nursing home has already started laying off employees for refusing COVID-19 vaccines. The mayor of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania signed an executive order requiring all city employees to be vaccinated for COVID-19. The Los Angeles Unified School District is requiring COVID-19 vaccines before students can return to the classroom.
- Recent surveys of hospital staff, healthcare workers, essential workers, nursing home staff, long term care employees, and firefighters report responses in range from 20-60% saying they would not take a COVID-19 vaccine. AB 23 and AB 25 are needed to protect critical public safety and care infrastructures in Wisconsin which would otherwise be severely compromised as those who don’t want the vaccine will leave these areas of the workforce.
- As of 2/18/21, there have already been 19,907 COVID-19 Vaccine adverse events and 1,095 COVID-19 Vaccine deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System. Some short-term and all long-term risks of new COVID-19 vaccines are still unknown. When there is risk, there has to be informed consent and the right to refuse a vaccine without penalty.
- In the absence of protective state laws like AB 23 and AB 25, there are no state or federal employee protection exceptions to employee vaccine mandates for all vaccines for reasons of conscience objections to all the vaccines being given to adults.
- The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission affirms the legal right of an employer to exclude the employee from the workplace even if an employee cannot get vaccinated for COVID-19 because of a disability or sincerely held religious belief and there is no reasonable accommodation possible. The state will have to step in and protect employees’ right to delay or refuse vaccines.
- While the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) allows employees to decline Hepatitis B Vaccines, and OSHA and many labor unions have expressed opposition to annual influenza vaccination policies that do not include religious and/or personal objection exemptions, there are far too many gaps in protection for employees to refuse vaccines for work.
- People injured by a COVID-19 vaccine have little recourse. Vaccine manufactures and providers are shielded from liability through the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, or PREP Act. This federal law establishes that the only option for compensation for COVID-19 vaccine victims is the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). Only eight percent of all petitioners since 2010 have been awarded compensation through the CICP. No legal or medical expert fees are covered, no pain and suffering is awarded, lost wages are capped at $50,000, and there is no judicial appeal. Vaccination must be voluntary.

60 Minutes: 1979 Swine Flu investigation has uncanny resemblances to COVID 2020-21
TheCOVIDBlog.com
February 26, 2020
NEW YORK — “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Those powerful words were first written in the 1905 George Santayana book “Reason in Common Sense.” Winston Churchill changed it a bit in a 1948 House of Commons speech: “those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Unfortunately neither version resonated with most Americans and others around the globe.
Once upon a time in the United States of America, a noble profession called “journalism” existed. Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite inspired a generation of young, ambitious journalists in the 1970s. Mike Wallace was one of their contemporaries. He was a 21-time Emmy Award winner for his work on the long-running CBS new magazine show 60 Minutes.
Millions of Americans watched the 60 Minutes broadcast on Sunday, November 4, 1979. Only about 20% of U.S. households had cable television at the time. Thus most only had five or six channels to choose from. Despite the large audience and powerful reporting, this episode was forgotten and buried. That is until now. (See link for video and article)

**Comment**
Please watch this “must see” 60 Minutes episode about the Swine Flu ‘epidemic’ that wasn’t. The events are uncannily similar to the COVID ‘pandemic’ that isn’t. Brazen scare-tactics have been used in both cases with a push to get the “vaccine,” at all costs. If you are unfamiliar with the Swine Flu hoax, start by reading this: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/08/22/the-2009-swine-flu-scam-murderous-anthony-fauci-betrays-public-trust-again/
In 2009 the CDC claimed there were thousands of Swine Flu cases in the US., but secretly, they had stopped counting.
CBS investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, discovered through the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) that hardly any of the Swine Flu cases was Swine Flu, or any flu at all. After her findings were published on the CBS News website, the CDC doubled down by stating 22 million came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009].
In truth, one month before the H1N1 “pandemic,” the WHO declared H1N1 a Level-6 “pandemic” based on 20 cases. It also changed the definition of “Level-6 Pandemic” so that severe destruction and widespread human death were no longer required. The origins of H1N1 were found in an industrial pig farm in Mexico where there was pig feces all over the property. When workers became ill, unknown chemicals were sprayed causing more workers to become ill. People were diagnosed similarly to how people are being diagnosed with COVID – by either “eyeballing sick people with ‘flu symptoms’” and automatically claiming Swine Flu was the cause, OR by PCR. Recently, COVID is down 62% due to lowering the cycles used for the PCR test. The CDC has also stopped counting seasonal flu. Now, everything is labeled COVID. Hospitals were given money to label deaths as caused by COVID. CDC death statistics are not reliable in making public health decisions.
The experimental, fast-tracked mRNA injections, which aren’t vaccines are being given the credit, yet are causing thousands of adverse reactions and deaths. Those damaged, often within hours or days, are nearly all told it can not be due to the injection. Many are also testing positive and becoming sick after the injection.

The CDC’s been lying about flu statistics for decades as well: https://healthimpactnews.com/2021/annual-flu-deaths-scam-unwittingly-exposed-and-replaced-by-the-covid-deaths-scam/
Excerpts:
Only about 15-20 per cent of people who come down with flu-like symptoms have the influenza virus — the other 80-85 per cent actually caught rhinovirus or other germs that are indistinguishable from the true flu without laboratory tests, which are rarely done.
In 2001, a year in which death certificates listed 257 Americans as having died of flu, only 18 were positively identified as true flus. The other 239 were simply assumed to be flus and most likely had few true flus among them.
How does the CDC overestimate the number of flu deaths? The CDC accomplishes this by reporting a combined pneumonia and influenza death rate. Every time I try to analyze this data, I know I will have to spend at least an hour searching for the true number who died from influenza because the CDC tries to hide that data.
Why does the CDC do this? The answer is easy: The more people that receive the flu vaccine, the more money the CDC makes. You see, the CDC holds patents on many vaccines including the flu vaccine. (1)
Perhaps I could tolerate the CDC combining pneumonia with flu deaths IF the flu vaccine prevented both. However, the flu vaccine has never been shown to have any impact on the number of deaths from pneumonia.
In fact, for the vast majority who receive it, the flu vaccine has little impact on preventing the flu, but I digress. – Dr. David Brownstein

What is a Herxheimer Reaction and What Can I Do About It?
9/21/20
By Holtdorf Medical Group
This natural bodily response is known as the Herxheimer reaction. Being familiar with this occurrence and methods of reducing its intensity can be beneficial for those being treated for chronic conditions, gastrointestinal disease, or toxicity.
An Introduction to The Herxheimer Reaction
The Herxheimer response is a natural bodily process triggered by a greater prevalence of endotoxins. These substances are released when harmful microorganisms and bacteria are destroyed or die off. As damaging bacteria are destroyed, they release previously contained endotoxins into the bloodstream. This allows the toxins to be transported to the appropriate system and subsequently expelled from the body. However, rapid destruction of bacteria can cause an influx of endotoxins resulting in greater toxicity. When this occurs, the immune system responds by triggering an acute immune response resulting in inflammation that may be experienced throughout the body. This can cause worsening of current symptoms and the development of new symptoms.
The Herxheimer reaction is frequently seen during antibiotic treatments because antibiotics destroy numerous microorganisms and bacteria. Although the Herxheimer reaction is typically non-lethal, it does frequently cause temporary pain, discomfort, and worsening of symptoms. Symptom severity is often indicative of the level of inflammation triggered by the immune system.
Common symptoms that develop or worsen due to a Herxheimer response include:
- Bloating
- Brain Fog
- Chills
- Cold Sweats
- Constipation
- Cramps
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Headaches
- Irritability
- Joint Pain
- Lethargy
- Muscle Pain
- Nausea
- Skin Irritation
- Sore Throat
Typically, symptoms develop within a couple of hours to several days after treatment. However, depending on the location of the bacteria, symptoms may develop later.
Because of the sudden worsening of symptoms, it is common for patients to feel that the severity of their condition has increased due to the treatment. However, even though treatment causes a temporary increase in symptom intensity due to greater release of toxins the condition ultimately improves. The body responding in this way usually means that the treatment is actually working effectively.
A Herxheimer reaction can last for a week or upwards of multiple months. The duration of the reaction is dependent on individual patient factors. Perhaps the greatest determinant of reaction length is what condition is being treated and its status. For example, Lyme disease is more likely to cause longer Herxheimer reactions. Other factors include the body’s ability to transport toxins and other debris, and the patient’s overall health. Therefore, each patient experiences Herxheimer reactions at a different level of severity and varying duration.
As long as the Herxheimer reaction is not too severe, treatment should continue. It is common for patients to be alarmed or concerned about the development of new symptoms and stop treatment. However, if the symptoms are caused by a Herxheimer reaction, it is best to continue treatment as long as symptoms are bearable.
Reducing the Impact of a Herxheimer Reaction
Even though a Herxheimer reaction indicates that treatment is working effectively, it doesn’t make the patient’s condition any more comfortable in the immediate. Fortunately, there are many ways of limiting the symptomatic impact of a Herxheimer reaction without inhibiting treatment efficacy. The following suggestions can and should be used when detoxing, using antibiotics, or being treated for infections and other forms of chronic disease to limit Herxheimer intensity.
Drink Plenty of Liquids
Distilled water, herbal teas, and most other non-sugary fluids, aid in the removal of toxins and cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract. Maintaining a high level of hydration also supports liver and kidney function which further improves detoxification. Keeping these systems working at their best can help the body better eliminate toxins released into the bloodstream thereby reducing Herxheimer symptoms.
Limit Exposure to Toxins
Our modern environment contains many toxins that can promote toxicity thereby contributing to the intensity of Herxheimer symptoms. Avoiding alcohol, smoke, BPAs, pesticides, and processed products can reduce the strain on the immune system and support detoxification.
Sleep More
The body conducts many restorative processes while at rest that it cannot accomplish when it is awake. When experiencing a Herxheimer reaction due to greater toxicity, it is best to allow more time for quality sleep. If you believe that you are suffering from toxin exposure, schedule an additional hour or two of sleep per night. It is likely that the body will benefit greatly from getting between nine to ten hours of sleep while detoxing.
Use a Probiotic
Probiotics are collections of good bacteria that support gastrointestinal function including the colon. By supporting the colon with a high-quality probiotic, it can remain clean and efficient thereby improving the detox process and reducing the intensity of a Herxheimer reaction. Probiotics can also help reverse the destruction of good gut bacteria caused by antibiotics. This can help restore gut health and limit Herxheimer symptoms.
Finishing Out Strong
The Herxheimer reaction is a natural response to the destruction of harmful bacteria and other threatening microorganisms. If the reaction is exceedingly uncomfortable or severe, cessation or reduction of treatment may be warranted. A heightened reaction may result in the shutting down of certain bodily systems. However, if possible, it is best to fight through the symptoms and continue treatment because Herxheimer reactions typically indicate that treatment is working as intended. Utilizing the methods discussed above can help limit the impact of a Herxheimer reaction to better support the treatment process, reduce symptoms, and promote greater wellness.
