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.

COVID Test Result is In

I don't have COVID.  On the one hand, it would have been a relief to have finally caught COVID and gotten natural antibodies, especially from having a mild case of it. On the other hand, I was concerned about my dog catching it from me (he's healthy, but nine years old) and it might have interfered with Thanksgiving plans.  Until I'm well, I'll stay home.

HHS Doctor on Hidden Camera: "The Vaccine is Full of Sh!t"

Jodi O'Malley, a registered nurse at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center (part of the Department of Health and Human Services), teamed up with Project Veritas to expose severe COVID vaccine reactions occurring but not being reported to VAERS, the vaccine adverse event reporting system, even though medical professionals are legally required to report such injuries. During the filming, a man in his thirties with congestive heart failure was being treated; the doctor believed the cause was his COVID vaccination. O'Malley says she's seen dozens of adverse reactions. "The vaccine is full of shit" and the government wants to "sweep it under the mat," the doctor says on hidden camera. We finally know what's in the vaccine. Screen grab from Project Veritas video . The video also shows a pharmacist stating that off-label medications such as ivermectin were forbidden to be prescribed on pain of termination.  Project Veritas is a nonprofit organization that does ...

Gaining Strength, But...

I had a pleasant surprise when I got out the sawzall today to finish repairs on the front door. Not the way it cut the new door sweep--I probably should have used the jigsaw. It was how easy it was to put the blade in. You have to turn a part on the saw, which I could barely do two months ago when I had nails to cut off . Today--probably thanks to spending my spare time since August working saws, sanders and paintbrushes--it was no harder than turning a knob on the stove.  So I've built up some strength in my hands and probably elsewhere, but my adrenals aren't keeping up with cortisol production. After a day's work (well, three or four hours, to be honest), my neck, back, jaws, and sinuses all hurt and they don't feel better until use a dab of hydrocortisone. Other pain relievers don't help much. This isn't normal muscle stiffness--the kind you get from working out--it feels like I'm inflamed. Last weekend in particular, after a flu shot and a few days of p...

The Under-the-Radar Ointment for Hard-to-Heal Wounds

Imagine looking in the mirror one morning and finding the side of your head black and your ear twice its normal size. That's what happened to Brad Burnam, who caught a deadly superbug at the hospital where he worked. Sometime after having emergency surgery--one of 21 surgeries over the next five years--he set out to cure himself.  The result he created was a fusion of PHMB, an antibiotic common in Europe but little known in the US, in a petroleum jelly base (like Vaseline), held together with a stabilizer/emulsifier. It sticks to wounds, keeps them moist, and provides a barrier. It cured his antibiotic resistant superbug. After getting FDA clearance, he formed Turn Therapeutics, and Hexagen is now available by prescription.  Screen shot from https://turntherapeutics.com/about/ Millions of Americans suffer from open wounds--chronic issues like diabetic foot ulcers. Readers probably have their blood sugar under control and avoid this condition, but might have parents, partners o...

1972: Carole King, M*A*S*H and...Food for 2014?

I feel well enough to try Atkins induction again. The palpitations are gone, even without taking potassium. My energy level is back to normal--no more trucking on the treadmill early in the morning  to burn off nervous energy or emergency meat, cheese and mineral water stops after yoga. It's back to lounging around to Chopin and Debussy in the morning and stopping at the wine bar for pleasure. I'm using the original Atkins book: Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution from 1972. While looking in the book for a way to make gelatin (which is allowed on induction, but Jello(TM) and products like it have questionable ingredients), I felt the earth move under my feet : those recipes from 42 years ago look delicious and they're mostly real food. It makes sense, though: the cooks who wrote the recipes probably didn't have had a palette used to low-fat food full of added sugar or a bag of tricks to make low-fat food edible. Anyone who writes a recipe called "Cottage Cheese and...
