COVID Vax Useless? Plus BS from AMA; Another Injunction

Injunction against Masking Toddlers



A federal judge has temporarily blocked Biden's mandate to mask toddlers and young children and require vaccination of teachers and volunteers in Head Start (pre-kindergarten) programs. The mandate would have "potentially devastating effects" on the program, according to Yasmina Vinci (“Vinci”), Executive Director of the National Head Start Association. A survey the NHSA conducted indicated "Fifty percent (50%) estimated their classrooms would be closed, thirty-two percent (32%) were unsure, and only eighteen percent (18%) said their Head Start classrooms would not be closed."

The court found (1) the federal agencies (all part of the executive branch) had no authority to issue the Head Start Mandate; (2) that the Mandate is contrary to law; and (3) the Mandate violates the Administrative Procedure Act’s notice-and-comment requirement. Further, the plaintiffs satisfied the four requirements for a preliminary injunction: (1) a substantial likelihood of success on the merits; (2) a substantial threat that the failure to grant the injunction will result in irreparable injury to the moving party; (3) that the threatened injury outweighs any damages the injunction may cause defendant; and (4) that the injunction is in the public interest.

The injunction applies to the plaintiff states--Louisiana, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

In conclusion, the court stated,

This two-year pandemic has fatigued the entire country. However, this is not an excuse to forego the separation of powers. If the walls of separation fall, the system of checks and balances created by the founders of this country will be destroyed. In the words of Thomas Paine,“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” Common Sense (1776).

This issue will certainly be decided by a higher court than this one. This issue is important. The separation of powers has never been so thin.

If the meaning or importance of "walls of separation" or "checks and balances" are unclear, check out the free, self-paced online course called "Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution" from Hillsdale College. Two important lessons from the course: every democracy tried up until 1776 had failed, and too much power in one branch of government, even an elected one, had led to serious problems in various states before the Constitution was ratified. We tear down those walls of separation and checks and balances at great risk.

AMA and Others Cite Junk Science for Forced Vaccinations

The American Medical Association and fourteen other medical associations filed a brief with the Supreme Court in favor of OSHA mandated forced vaccinations. Gems of misinformation in the brief include, 

  • "As the American Medical Association has explained, '[t]he only way to truly end this pandemic is to ensure widespread vaccination'” (quoted from a press release issued November 4, 2021); 
  • "COVID-19 vaccines are safe"; 
  • "Countries or states that mandated smallpox vaccination saw 10 to 30 times fewer smallpox cases than those that declined to do so"; 
  • "Before compulsory school vaccination laws were in place throughout the United States, states with strict vaccination requirements had incidence rates of measles less than half those of states that did not." 

The last two statements about measles and smallpox may be true, but they don't apply to a shot that has little to no effect on spread. The first two statements are incredibly ignorant to anyone who's paid attention to VAERS or international news or stopped to wonder why cases are going up along with vaccination rates. Doctors aren't trained to think, as Dr. Michael Eades has observed.

COVID Vaccine: More Harm than Good?

That's the conclusion of a video recommended by Dr. Eades. The Canadian Covid Care Alliance carefully looked at data from the Pfizer trials along with other sources and found the shots cause more illness than they prevent. Link here. 

Along the same lines, Alex Berenson turned up a study of over 600,000 people that found only slightly better results in vaccinated people who became infected with COVID. 

Berenson notes, "Vaccinated people in a study published Tuesday had a nearly 1 in 200 chance of of requiring hospitalization for Covid in the first six months after being 'fully vaccinated.'" That's worse than the odds (1 in 300) of being hospitalized from June 1 through December 1 of 2021 for the state of Indiana, a place with one of the lowest vaccination rates in the US. Granted, the median age here is quite a bit lower than the median age in the study. But it does suggest that more vaccination wouldn't move the needle on hospitalizations much.

Inoculation against Asinine Ideas

I'll end with an apt quote from ZubyMusic on Twitter:

I noticed most people who are very into fitness & nutrition didn't get dragged into corona hysteria I think it's because: 

1/ they trust their bodies more 
2/ statistically at much lower risk 
3/ mentally & physically stronger 
4/ understand how 'science' can be grossly manipulated

The nutrition field alone is full of 'science' and 'experts' that completely contradict each other. And it's been like that forever. So the notion one should blindly 100% 'trust the science', government 'experts', or corporations that stand to profit, is asinine off the bat.

There are people who swear by all meat diets... And people who swear by plant based diets... Polar opposites. Both with 'science' and 'experts' to back them. Who is correct? It's certainly not 'settled'... Also, a lot of middle ground and nuance in there.

Well said.

My New Favorite Sweetener

If you're looking for a low-carb sweetener with no aftertaste, no franken-ingredients, and that doesn't upset your stomach, try monk fruit (also known as luo han guo). This is what Quest bars were sweetened with when they first came out. Monk fruit is Dr. Davis approved. You can buy monk fruit in powdered or liquid form; both are super-concentrated. They might seem expensive, but you use the powder by the spoonful (even in baking recipes) and the liquid by the drop. The baking recipes I've made with the powder have turned out well. Available from Amazon . Beware monk fruit sweeteners with erythritol.  The package of powdered monk fruit sweetener I bought says, "Use 1/8 teaspoon to create the same sweet taste as 1 teaspoon of sugar." But it's so sweet that I use 1/10 the amount. To replace a cup of sugar, I would use 5 teaspoons of monk fruit sweetener. Tip: hand-stir this in before using the beaters. It's such a fine powder that it flies up and out of the ...

Mince Meat Pie Recipe, low carb

The star of Christmas dinner this year was made of unlikely ingredients. Fruit and beef tongue sound high carb or unpalatable, but mince meat pie was so popular 250 years ago that it was in many cookbooks from the time--and it wasn't just for Christmas. My version cuts the carbs by using tart cooking apples, cranberries, monk fruit sweetener and a nut flour crust. The main flavors are orange and slightly tart fruit; the meat and fat make it filling. Have it for dessert or with coffee or tea for breakfast. Make some soup with the collagen-filled broth and discover how tender and tasty the rest of the beef tongue is. Worth the time and effort. IMPORTANT--start this recipe the day before. Links in the recipe go to hard-to-find ingredients and directly to the cookbook with the recipe for the pie crust. (I made the almond flour variation of the crust.) Recipe 1 beef tongue (I get mine here ; look for farms or ranches in your area that sell directly to consumers) 2 Granny Smith apples 1 ...

Is the NIH Privately Helping Patients with COVID Vax Injuries?

In a recent letter from several attorneys general (AGs) demanding an explanation as to why so few vaccine-injured people have received so little compensation, the AGs asked a curious question: We have been told by constituents that NIH [National Institutes of Health] is privately helping patients across the country with COVID-19 vaccine–related injuries and is even bringing patients to NIH for study and treatment. Is that correct? Why have these activities not been better publicized? What sorts of studies of these patients is NIH currently conducting? What treatments is NIH administering? Photo from Pixabay . Most of the letter focused on compensation for COVID-19 vaccine injuries. As you know, vaccine manufacturers in the US have immunity from lawsuits, but people suffering from vaccine injuries can be compensated by the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). But among the 10,000 COVID vaccine related claims, only 20 claimants have received compensation. "And but for...

Magnesium Tea: Peachy, Minty, Refreshing

Most readers know that magnesium supplementation is important, especially on low-carb diets. Magnesium deficiency is common, and low-carb diets require more magnesium--a mineral that's important for heart, muscle and digestive function and helps regulate blood sugar.  Photo from Unsplash . The magnesium powder in this recipe is the best form I've found--I had a lot of trouble with magnesium supplements during the pandemic not working, or giving me diarrhea, or (in the case of all the milk of magnesia) being contaminated with bleach. This magnesium powder doesn't require a carbonation machine, unlike some other powders. The peach flavor is only mildly sweet.  Note--limit servings to two per day, preferably spaced out several hours apart. Too much magnesium at once can have a laxative effect.  4-5 mint tea bags filtered water (enough for 1 medium pitcher) Doctor's Best magnesium powder, peach flavor Boil a cup of the water and add tea bags. Let steep for five minutes. Add...

How would Dr. Oz Treat the DTs?

"You let me in your house with a hammer." -"Candy Shop" by Andrew Bird Low-carb proponent Gary Taubes appeared on the Dr. Oz Show March 7. In one entertaining segment, Dr. Oz spent a day eating a low-carb diet and complained of the greasiness of the sausage, feeling tired, constipation and bad breath. That's a drag, but when I stopped drinking Coke in 2007, I felt even worse: stomach ache, headache, tiredness, and mental fog. Should I have gone back to drinking Coke? If you quit a bad alcohol habit and start seeing snakes, do you need a drink? If my legs hurt from working out Monday night for the first time in two months (which they do), maybe I should resume my exercise hiatus indefinitely. I respect Dr. Oz for having Gary Taubes on his show and letting him share his ideas. I'd respect Oz even more if he looked into low-carb diets more carefully. What he didn't seem to consider regarding his one-day low-carb diet was that he spent a day...
