Are Health Insurance Companies Purposely Trying to Cancel Insurance for Grandfathered Plans by Failing to Charge Automatic Payments?
Doctor With Natural Immunity Fired For Fefusing Vaccine & Using Ivermectin
St. Louis ICU physician - who fought the COVID-19 pandemic on the front lines for 18 months - is out of a job after refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
A local ICU physician – who fought the Covid pandemic on the front lines for 18 months – is out of a job after refusing to get the vaccine.
Dr. Mollie James said she was employed at two health systems in the Midwest, including in St. Louis, for much of the pandemic. She was also splitting her time between local hospitals and one in New York.
James has worked as a trauma and acute care surgeon for 11 years, four of which were spent in St. Louis.
“When the pandemic hit I just felt a calling to go to New York when they called for volunteers,” she said. “So I went there in April of 2020 and I liked being in the midst of it. My purpose for going was to help them out, but also to see what they were doing in real time and what was the most effective for patients so I could bring that back to the community.”
For most of the last year and a half, James said she traveled between New York and St. Louis, working with critical ICU patients infected with COVID-19 in multiple hospitals.
“I was scared, so I have a lot of empathy for the people who live in fear, because we didn’t know,” she said. “About that time nurses were dying. Doctors were dying. And so I didn’t know what we were getting into.”
James said she tested positive for Covid in March of 2020, about a month before volunteering to go to New York. Still, she said she was nervous. “We had freezer trucks serving as morgues outside my hospital so it was a very real reminder to wear all of the personal protective gear,” she said.
During her time treating patients at the height of the pandemic, James said one of the first big improvements in treatment she witnessed was the addition of steroids and blood thinners to treatment protocols.
In December of 2020, James said the Senate testimony of Dr. Pierre Kory, a fellow ICU physician, caught her eye.
“He started talking about Ivermectin,” she said. “At the time, I wasn’t familiar with that medication, so I started looking into it and the dosing protocols and the side effects and the downsides to it. We started slowly using it in a few patients, then the pandemic numbers went down and I didn’t really see a big difference at that time.”
When a surge of Covid cases hit southwest Missouri, James said she started doing additional research on the drug and the concept of early outpatient treatment.
“There’s an entire protocol and Ivermectin is a key part of it. We use blood thinners and different vitamins along with a stronger steroids than most people use, called Methylprednisolone. We combine that with Ivermectin and that combination seems to be extremely effective.”
“I had two patient successes at the hospital that was offering it and they pulled it off the shelf a week later,” James said. “I was told it wasn’t approved by the COVID committee so doctors who were not involved in the patient’s care, my patient’s care, were making decisions about what I could use.”
Dr. Clay Dunagan, the head of the St. Louis Metropolitan Pandemic Task Force, looked into James’ claims but said there are better treatment options available. “It’s conceivable that Ivermectin has some impact early in the disease but it’s not really something we should be using. We have other drugs that are more effective,” he said.
Dunagan said early data shows Ivermectin doesn’t make much of a difference and he believes Remdesivir, an anti-viral drug, along with other steroids benefit patients more.
James said the decision should be between a patient and their doctor.
“When I was able to properly dose and use Ivermectin in an ICU patient, I saw the fastest turnaround of any patient out of probably a couple thousand that I’ve treated,” James said.
“When you have administrators telling physicians what medications they can prescribe, or how to counsel patients regarding interventions or telling them not to do something they believe is in the patient’s best interest, I think doctors have an obligation to leave those situations.”
Because James recovered from COVID-19, she believes her natural immunity outweighs any medical need for a vaccine. She said she doesn’t actively encourage her patients to get vaccinated, but did add she believes it’s a decision that should ultimately be left up to a patient and their doctor.
James admits her position on the use of Ivermectin and vaccination status places her in the minority of healthcare workers. Still, she said she’s speaking out based on the tragedy she’s witnessed firsthand.
“I think there are a lot of people living in fear, they’ve been sold fear for a long time. They don’t need to be afraid, they just need to be informed,” James said. “They need to arm themselves with the knowledge and potentially the medications so they know what to do and get back to life.”
James is in private practice now, seeing patients virtually from across the country. She said she will prescribe several medications, including Ivermectin, to patients who have tested positive.
“Everyone is a candidate for early treatment. I believe its 85 percent effective in keeping people out of the hospital.”
She adds she’s run into roadblocks at pharmacies, with pharmacists unwilling to fill prescriptions for Ivermectin. Insurance companies don’t cover it either, leaving patients to pay out-of-pocket.
Healthy mom suffers cascade of health problems after COVID shot, vows to fight medical corruption
5,000+ People in The United States Have Had A Similar ADE Issue According To The NIH.
She is holding a rally and vigil on the steps of the Supreme Court on November 2nd for similar victims.
A young mother, Brianne Driessen, was eager to sign up for the Astrazeneca COVID shot trial. Almost immediately after getting the injenction, she began experiencing severe adverse reactions, which continue to this day. In this interview with LifeSite’s Jim Hale, Driessen makes a passionate appeal for true informed consent and help for the thousands of fellow victims of the COVID jab.
Brianne Dressen from Utah was a healthy mother of two young children and a pre-school teacher who eagerly signed up to the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine trial back in November 2020, as she was “confident that this was going to be our way out of the pandemic.” She received a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine on November 4 and started experiencing adverse effects within an hour of getting the shot.
Dressen first experienced tingling in her arm, blurred vision, hyper-sensitivity to sound, light and touch, dizziness, nausea, and leg numbness. Weeks later, she was admitted to the hospital after her legs “stopped working” and she became incontinent. She had to undergo intense physical therapy, including re-learning how to walk.
Dressen was later diagnosed with a number of serious health conditions which affect her nervous system. She shared her ordeal with LifeSiteNews correspondent Jim Hale.
After a first of “many visits to the emergency room” ruled out multiple sclerosis and other major neuro-degenerative disorders, Dressen was sent home where she had to stay in a room by herself because of her extreme sensitivity to sound.
“My sensitivity to sound was so severe that even my little girl’s voice was too much for my ears,” she recalled.
She also suffered from hypersensitivity to light and had to “put towels on the windows to make the room completely black.”
Dressen lost 20 pounds, as she suffered from nausea and vomiting, and experienced difficulties swallowing her food.
She said she was certain that the vaccine was responsible for her condition.
“There is no question in my mind that the vaccine caused this reaction,” she said, before expressing anger and frustration at the fact that AstraZeneca did not investigate her case thoroughly, as would be expected during a clinical trial.
“You would hope that there would be someone who would be appropriately tracking the data, that these cases (even if they’re rare) are evaluated, that they are discussed, that the information is disclosed in a full and transparent manner. Unfortunately, that has not been the case,” she said.
“I really wish I could say that the drug companies did their due diligence with this, but they didn’t,” she added.
Dressen also revealed that her case was not included in the list of severe adverse events that was published by AstraZeneca. “And now there’s their published clinical trial data. I’m not in it,” she said.
AstraZeneca claims to follow up with all serious adverse events cases for up to 720 days but monitored Dressen over a much shorter period of time.
“I definitely was a serious adverse event,” said Dressen, “I was followed up with for 60 days.”
The pharmaceutical giant also agreed in their contract with clinical trial volunteers to pay for any injury or medical need that would result from the vaccine. An agreement that they did not honor in Dressen’s case.
“After months of repeated pleading and fighting with them to help us with the massive pile of medical bills, I have 590 dollars from them.”
For a long time, doctors could not figure out what was wrong with the young mother. They first diagnosed Dressen with “anxiety” from the COVID vaccine. But she was then able to go to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) where she received appropriate diagnoses, which included a number of nervous disorders such as: non-length-dependent neuropathy, short-term memory loss, sensory neuropathy, dysautonomia and severe postural tachycardia syndrome.
The young woman still suffers from these adverse effects to this day, almost a year after having been vaccinated, and her life has not been the same since.
“My body went from functioning at a normal, healthy level; I was able to take care of my kids and my work, too,” she said. “Now, my big accomplishment today will be talking to you and the fact that I made myself breakfast.”
LifeSiteNews correspondent Jim Hale then asked Dressen to discuss how this event changed her views on the pharmaceutical industry.
“This has been very eye opening for me,” replied Dressen, “I feel like I’ve been plucked out of the matrix.”
Dressen explained that she grew increasingly distrustful of government agencies as she witnessed evidence of them purposefully withholding information from the public.
“These [adverse] reactions are not being disclosed to the public,” she said. “Because of this, the public is not being provided informed consent, but also the medical community is not being informed appropriately that these reactions can happen.”
Dressen also claimed that attempts at withholding information on adverse events from the public does not only come from social media platforms but also from within the medical world.
“There’s medical censorship happening,” she said, “there’s censorship with the research; we have researchers that have tried to get case studies published in scientific journals and they can’t get them published.”
The young mother became emotional when she recalled that some of the people suffering from these adverse effects have committed suicide.
“I had to write a eulogy for a dear friend of mine, for her husband to read after she took her life,” she said.
Dressen and Hale then discussed other cases of people that have suffered loss as a result of the vaccine’s adverse effects, including that of Ernest Ramirez, a father from Texas who recently lost his 15-year-old son to the Pfizer vaccine. Hale also mentioned that in a recent interview with LifeSiteNews, Dr. Robert Malone, a pioneer of the mRNA technology used in the development of the COVID vaccines “told us, flat out, if you have an adolescent son, he should not be getting the vaccine.”
Among some of the initiatives taken in response to this issue, Dressen mentioned a website with over 500 testimonies and accounts of people who have suffered from COVID vaccine adverse events.
Additionally, she announced that a press conference is going to take place on November 2 on the steps of the Supreme Court to hold government agencies accountable.
“We’re uniting with those like Ernest Ramirez and we’re going to the capital to plead with our elected officials to help us and to hold these agencies, the FDA, the CDC, the NIH, accountable, because we know acutely just how much they know,” she said.
“They know about the suicides [and] the suicide attempts, they know about people losing their jobs because of inappropriate mandates, they know about the sick kids, they know about people being buried under medical debt and losing their homes, they know about the issues with the clinical trials,” she added.
In conclusion of the interview, Dressen insisted that she was not anti-vaccine and explained that her husband had gotten the COVID vaccine, but she advocated for informed consent and not coercing people.
“I really believe that everybody should have appropriate full informed consent so they can make an appropriate choice for themselves; and also, because there is a risk, there absolutely needs to be a choice,” she said.
She condemned government agencies for letting people who suffer from these adverse events deal with them on their own and for abandoning them.
“The problem is, if you get a vaccine reaction like this, you are completely on your own. The government agencies are not going to help you,” she said. “You will not be able to get financially compensated and your medical teams will have no idea what to do with you.”

control.
Page 2 of 8
AGREEMENT BETWEEN VACCINE PROVIDERS AND VACCINATED PARTY and NOTICES
2. I am aware and understand that vaccines are not 100% effective.
3. I am aware that vaccines have not been tested enough to show that they are 100% safe and
effective.
4. I am aware and understand that vaccines can cause death or injury and disease which seriously
and negatively affects the lives of vaccinated individuals, their families and their communities.
5. I am aware and understand that vaccines, when causing disease and injury, can cause major
costs to individuals, families and communities, which costs are solely the responsibility and
liability of the causing agents which are the administrators and providers of a harming or
ineffective vaccine.
6. I am aware and understand that vaccines cause risk which is the sole responsibility of the
administrators and providers of the vaccine.
7. I am aware and understand that no one may be forced, coerced or compelled to accept medical
treatment or foreign substances inserted into their bodies without full voluntary consent under
full disclosure and that administering a treatment, harmful or otherwise, without consent of all
affected parties is unlawful and unethical.
8. I am aware and understand that vaccinations do, on occasion, cause harm, injury and disease
including the disease they are intended to prevent.
9. I am aware and understand that there are particular dangers and hazards of combining more
than one vaccination in one or sequential administrations and some of those hazards and
dangers are not well understood and have not been fully researched, tested or proven safe or
effective.
10. I understand that individuals have different physiologies and that a vaccination which may be
harmless to one individual may be quite harmful to another individual.
11. I am aware and understand that, prior to administration of any vaccination, administrators of
vaccinations must and shall disclose to all interested parties all known and presumed risks,
hazards, harm and failures of vaccinations and all contents of the proposed vaccination/s
including all trace chemicals, adjuvants and components whether or not administrators consider
those elements to be of consequence so that the recipients of vaccinations can make fully
informed decisions with regard to accepting vaccination.
12. I am aware and understand that administration of vaccinations without full disclosure and full
voluntary consent of all interested parties and imposing risk and hazard in that way represents
criminal violation, malpractice and major liability of the administrators of the vaccination to the
vaccinated party/s should any negative consequences arise.
13. I am aware and understand that any person who attempts to enforce a “mandate” in forcing or
coercing vaccination or any other medical treatment upon any unwilling or uninformed party,
Page 3 of 8
AGREEMENT BETWEEN VACCINE PROVIDERS AND VACCINATED PARTY and NOTICES
whether or not that “mandate” is provided in law, codes or regulations, is personally fully liable
for any and all harm, loss, damage, negative consequences of the vaccination upon the
vaccinated party and all other interested parties. That liability extends to all administrators of
that “mandate”, all legislators who were involved in the creation of that “mandate” and all
companies and individuals who promoted that “mandate” through lobbying or other political
action and all parties who participate in the enforcement of the “mandate”.
14. I understand that, as an administrator or provider of any “mandated” vaccination I am assuming
all liability, obligation and responsibility for any and all negative and/or unintended
consequences of the administration of the vaccine and that I must “make whole” the recipients
of the vaccine, their guardians, families and community for any and all financial and personal
harm, damage and losses caused by the vaccine and any and all harm which may be reasonably
attributed to the vaccine. I understand that this is necessary because laws to not adequately
protect vaccine recipients and, in fact, put the public at risk of uninsured harm from vaccines.
15. I am aware and understand that I must disclose all risks of vaccination prior to administration of
the vaccine and, because vaccinations do pose risks, I must allow the recipients, guardians and
families to refuse the vaccination at their sole discretion, and that disclosure of hazards and
risks does not absolve me from any responsibility, liability or accountability for negative
consequences of the vaccinations I administer.
16. If a person suffers any disease or injury at any time after vaccination and not before vaccination
and that disease or injury cannot be affirmatively attributed to any particular cause other than
the vaccination, then I agree that it is reasonable to presume that the injury or disease was or
may have been caused by the vaccination and I will so presume and accept that theory in the
absence of compelling evidence to the contrary.
17. If the vaccine recipients, guardians, family members and interested parties of the vaccinated
party should, after the vaccination, submit claims for harm, loss, damages, injuries or disease
which they reasonably suspect to be caused fully or partially by the vaccination, then the claims
must and shall be paid and delivered by the administrators of the vaccination (above) to the
claimant/s without challenge within 30 days from submission of each claim and any challenge
to the claim/s must be made through formal written process and/or legal action. Requests for
recovery of claims paid must be supported by fact, evidence, law and moral cause. Refusal or
obstruction of service of claim shall not reduce obligations and shall be cause for escalated
claim.
18. I am aware and understand that all administrators of vaccinations are responsible for any
emotional distress caused by their vaccinations and are liable for compensation for such
emotional distress to the victim/s.
19. Administrators of vaccinations hereby agree that they will allow and facilitate recording,
videotaping, documentation and investigation of all services and processes they administer to
the vaccine recipient and that administrators of vaccinations will not refuse or obstruct that
information gathering for such reasons as “privacy” or “security”.
Page 4 of 8
AGREEMENT BETWEEN VACCINE PROVIDERS AND VACCINATED PARTY and NOTICES
20. I am aware and understand that any failure or refusal to sign this agreement causes suspicion of
intention to do harm to the vaccinated party and others and to avoid responsibility for potential
harm that may be caused by vaccination, and I am aware and understand that failure or refusal
of signature of this agreement by any administrator of vaccines is cause for rightful refusal of
vaccination by the intended vaccination recipient with law, code, regulations, contracts and
“mandates” notwithstanding.
21. Any threat of consequence for refusal of vaccination/s, such as removal from school,
quarantine, “child endangerment” etc. is coercion, is offensive, inappropriate, unlawful and
violates parental rights. There is no law and can be no valid law which would rightfully grant
authority over any individual to determine medical treatment for any other party who is in
possession of their faculties. Refusal of vaccination does not in any way imply poor judgment,
diminished capacities or social irresponsibility.
22. I am / am not (circle one) claiming that I personally have the right and authority to force
medical treatment and vaccinations upon the party (above) whom I intend for vaccination
without his/her consent. If I claim that authority, then I will provide all legal and official
reference which bestows that authority upon me specifically against the intended recipient of
the vaccination, as authorized and consented by that recipient. I understand that I must provide
evidence of authority to the satisfaction of all interested parties before the person intended for
vaccination may be vaccinated because the interested parties presume that no such authority
exists nor can exist, and, in many cases, the harm caused by vaccinations cannot be reversed.
23. I understand and agree that the person intended for vaccination is not responsible to gather
signatures on this form. The parties intending to vaccinate must acquire and share this form,
sign it and deliver it in multiple copies to any party intended for vaccination upon request. At
such time as the duly signed forms are delivered to the person intended for vaccination, those
agreement forms will be signed by the person intended for vaccination or by his/her guardian
and one copy will be returned to each administrator of the vaccination/s. If one of the requested
administrators above fails to sign and return the form, all agreements are void and vaccination is
rightfully refused.
24. Refusal to sign this form is indication of deceit, bad faith and hypocrisy on the part of a vaccine
administrator who may recommend vaccination as “safe”, but, at the same time, deny
responsibility for the hazards. If vaccinations are “safe” then refusal or hesitation to sign this
form is firm indication of misrepresentation with the assertion of “safety”.
NOTICE: If this form is refused or not signed by any vaccine administrators listed above, then refusal
of vaccine is rightful and refusal must be presumed and honored. Vaccination does pose risks, therefore
administration of vaccine without signature on this agreement by all parties called for herein or and/or
without fully informed consent by all interested parties constitutes criminal assault, malpractice,
intentional harm and violation of rights against the vaccinated parties and all other parties of common
interest by the administrators and providers of the vaccine whether any harm is caused or not by the
vaccination, therefore, without fully informed consent by all interested parties, major obligations and
liabilities arise from non-consensual vaccination whether or not the vaccination causes physical injury
or disease.
Page 5 of 8
AGREEMENT BETWEEN VACCINE PROVIDERS AND VACCINATED PARTY and NOTICES
NOTICE: Refusal to sign this form constitutes admission and warning to the prospective recipient of
vaccination that vaccination may cause harm and should be avoided in order to protect the health and
safety of those receiving treatment. This is separate and distinct from any benefit/s or “necessities” that
may be attributed to vaccinations and vaccination programs.
NOTICE: A separate agreement must be signed for each individual intended to be vaccinated.

GoFundMe Takes Down Campaign For Litigation Over Vax Mandate
The company now insists that it will only allow people to gather on the site if it believes their views are true and correct.
However, it was still surprising to see the site takedown a fundraising account for litigation against vaccine mandates.
The effort of former nurse Jennifer Bridges was simply to get such matters before the courts, which can be the ultimate authority on what is “misinformation.”
GoFundMe however blocked people from contributing to the litigation.
Bridges is a former registered nurse at Houston Methodist hospital who was fired after refusing to comply with the hospital’s vaccine requirement. She raised more than $180,000 for her lawsuit before being shut down under the company’s “misinformation” policy.
Heidi Hagberg, a spokesperson for GoFundMe, said in a statement to Business Insider that “when our team initially reviewed the fundraiser, it was within our terms of service as the funds were for legal fees to fight vaccine mandates. The fundraiser has since been updated to include misinformation which violates our terms of service.”
What is striking about this latest ban is that the courts are the place for such claims to be weighed in a neutral and dispassionate forum. “Misinformation” can be addressed by judges after both sides are allowed to present evidence. Bridges’ lawsuit was dismissed in June, Bridges’ attorneys appealed the decision. We should all favor such reviews. Indeed, if GoFundMe believes that Bridges is wrong, it should invite further judicial review to establish a clear record on such issues.
GoFundMe admits to having taken down “hundreds” of fundraisers that included statements of “misinformation related to vaccines.”
I do not agree with the arguments against the vaccine. I and my family are vaccinated. However, I am equally concerned with avoiding the growing virus of censorship. In the last few years, we have seen an increasing call for private censorship from Democratic politicians and liberal commentators. Faculty and editors are now actively supporting modern versions of book-burning with blacklists and bans for those with opposing political views. The most chilling aspect of this story is how many on the left applaud such censorship. A new poll shows roughly half of the public supporting not just corporate censorship but government censorship of anything deemed “misinformation.”
Free speech can be its own disinfectant for bad speech.
GoFundMe is a private company and can impose such rules on users. However, it is an act of censorship and it is a denial of free speech by a corporation.
In this case, the company is preventing its site from being used to raise money to allow courts to review the factual and legal basis for these claims — a curious effort for a company that claims to be fighting “misinformation.”

Lawyers & Scientists Are Building A Case For Why Natural Immunity Should Be Treated Same As Vaccination
The answer to that question, they say, will depend - as all things COVID-related do - on "the science", that nebulous and frequently shifting concept of how prior infection impacts immunity to new variants (and whether vaccine's do as well).
According to a report in Yahoo Finance, the notion that natural immunity is superior is already gaining support in the legal world. Presently, a handful of studies from different countries offer a conflicting view of whether natural immunity actually is superior to vaccinated immunity, or a combination of prior infection and vaccination
Since it's likely the federal government's aim to roll out vaccine mandates that cover practically every US worker (they're not too far off already), the issue of natural vs. vaccine immunity and whether some individuals should receive exemptions based on their antibody levels almost certainly be adjudicated in the federal courts.
At least one attorney quoted by Yahoo agrees:
"I think that a judge might reject a rule that's been issued by a body, like the U.S. Department of Labor or by a state, that has not been sufficiently thought through as it relates to the science," Erik Eisenmann, a labor and employment attorney with Husch Blackwell, told Yahoo Finance.
As we reported when it was first published, a report out of Israel suggests that natural immunity could be many times more effective than the Pfizer vaccine at preventing infection with the delta variant. That study has yet to be peer-reviewed, however, and the world is anxiously awaiting the results.
However, another peer-reviewed study cited by the CDC looks at dozens of cases in the US where certain people who tested positive for COVID never ended up generating the antibodies, which, science dictates, are necessary to fend off future infection.
The CDC also published a study of 246 Kentucky residents, concluding that vaccination offers higher protection than a previous COVID infection. The CDC said the study went through a "rigorous multi-level clearance process" before submission, but now some are concerned it's slightly out of date since it pre-dates the rise of delta.
But as far as supporting natural vs. vaccinated immunity goes, this study is another big one: A C A June study by the Cleveland Clinic and Washington University tracked 52,238 Cleveland Clinic employees found that within 1,359 previously infected and unvaccinated people, none contracted a subsequent COVID-19 infection over the five-month study. The findings led authors to conclude that prior infection makes a person "unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination."
Then there's this:
In a smaller study conducted by Washington University School of Medicine and published in Nature, senior author Ali Ellebedy, Ph.D., an associate professor of medicine and of molecular microbiology, found antibody-producing cells in the bone marrow of 15 of 19 study subjects 11 months after their first COVID-19 symptoms. "These cells will live and produce antibodies for the rest of people’s lives. That’s strong evidence for long-lasting immunity,” Ellebedy said.
The legal and scientific standards are intertwined here, but as more data develops that appears to validate the argument that natural immunity is at least as effective as vaccinated immunity, it's more likely that lawyers will succeed in convincing judges that the standard should be "immunity by any means."

Federal Judge Blocks Forced Vaccination for Medical Personnel in NY
A federal judge has blocked the state of New York from forcing medical workers to be vaccinated after a group of healthcare workers sued the state, including the governor, the health department, and others, claiming their constitutional rights were violated.
Judge David Hurd in Utica issued the order on Tuesday. Several litigants, including doctors and nurses, claimed their First Amendment rights were violated by a vaccine mandate, which does not allow for religious exemptions.
For the last seven weeks, New York radio talk show host Shannon Joy has been rallying the medical community in Rochester and huge groups of health professionals have been marching outside the University of Rochester Medical Center every week, speaking out against what they say is medical tyranny in the form of vaccine mandates.
According to the lawsuit, “The plaintiffs herein are medical professionals whose sincere religious beliefs compel them to refuse vaccination with the available COVID-19 vaccines, all of which employ aborted fetus cell lines in their testing, development, or production.”

Stop Medical Silencing - Sign Petition
Doctors, scientists, politicians, and all medical researchers and professionals MUST be allowed to provide their professional opinions without fear of professional consequences.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, many frontline doctors and nurses have been shamed, silenced, and even punished, for sharing medical opinions that differ from those of our unelected public health officials.
Our medical professionals not only have free speech, but they also have a duty to maintain a certain code of ethics and professionalism.
This includes being honest and forthright, acting according to their conscience, and empowering their patients in making informed decisions regarding their health.
Stand with me by signing and sharing this petition to help remove the political muzzle from our medical professionals’ brilliant minds.
Canadians are capable of getting a second opinion, should they feel they need to. But they can’t get an informed one if all medical opinions that contrast with public health are being suppressed.
Sign this petition, and we'll make sure every governing body of doctors and nurses in each province and territory gets a copy.
We need to send them the message that Canadians do not support dangerous political censorship of healthcare professionals!
Big Pharma is the Fastest Growing Industry in Advertising Spending
In 2021, spending on digital advertising in the healthcare and pharma industry will grow by 18% to reach $11.25 billion, making it the fastest-growing industry and next is computing products and consumer electronics.
What’s driving overall healthcare and pharma digital ad spending growth?
Dollars are being spent on advertising related to COVID-19, as public health organizations and private medical institutions raised awareness around testing, safety measures, and other pandemic-related information. The crisis also led to an influx of marketing around medical supplies, consumer adoption of telemedicine, and regional advertising for reopening doctor’s offices and medical clinics.
What is healthcare and pharma’s share of total US digital ad spending?
Healthcare and pharma will make up 7.1% of all US digital ad spending, which is much smaller than top spenders like retail (21.0%) and financial services (14.6%), but larger than entertainment (5.2%), media (4.7%), and travel (2.4%).
Which ad format is growing the fastest?
Spending on display will grow 15.7% in 2020, reaching $4.04 billion, making it the fastest-growing format in healthcare and pharma. However, 55.6% of digital spending will go toward search, compared with 42.4% going toward display.
How much is spent on mobile compared with desktop?
While the majority of healthcare and pharma’s digital spending goes toward mobile (57.5%), this vertical spends below the average for all industries (which is 68.0%). Healthcare and pharma’s share of spending allocated to desktop/laptop is higher than average, at 42.5% this year.
WHAT’S IN THIS REPORT? This report details our annual forecast of US healthcare and pharma digital ad spending. It includes a comprehensive overview of total digital ad spending, as well as estimates by channel, device, and format.

Why Wearing A Face Mask Outdoors Isn't Necessary
Each orange dot represents a dose of respiratory particles capable
of infecting someone if inhaled by breathing, speaking, and shouting
In the worst-case scenario (lower right corner) – shouting or singing in a closed space for an hour – a person with Covid-19 releases.
Risk of coronavirus infection changes depending on the number of contagious particles you breathe in. El Pais illustrated the differences when you take certain measures, namely wearing masks, ventilation, and decreased exposure time. The suggestions are based on statistical models, so there is more uncertainty than I think the explanations provide, but the sequence of illustrations provides a clear picture of what we can do — if you must do things indoors.
In the spring, health authorities failed to focus on aerosol transmission, but recent scientific publications have forced the World Health Organization (WHO) and the CDC to acknowledge it. An article in the prestigious Science magazine found that there is “overwhelming evidence” that airborne transmission is a “major transmission route” for the coronavirus, and the CDC now notes that, “under certain conditions, they seem to have infected others who were more than six feet [two meters] away. These transmissions occurred within enclosed spaces that had inadequate ventilation. Sometimes the infected person was breathing heavily, for example, while singing or exercising.”
At present, health authorities recognize three vehicles of coronavirus transmission: the small droplets from speaking or coughing, which can end up in the eyes, mouth, or nose of people standing nearby; contaminated surfaces (fomites), although the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that this is the least likely way to catch the virus, a conclusion backed by the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (ECDC) observation that not a single case of fomite-caused Covid-19 has been observed; then finally, there is transmission by aerosols – the inhalation of invisible infectious particles exhaled by an infected person that, once leaving the mouth, behave in a similar way to smoke. Without ventilation, aerosols remain suspended in the air and become increasingly dense as time passes.
At the beginning of the pandemic, it was believed that the large droplets we expel when we cough or sneeze was the main vehicle of transmission. But we now know that shouting and singing in indoor, poorly ventilated spaces over a prolonged period of time also increases the risk of contagion. This is because speaking in a loud voice releases 50 times more virus-laden particles than when we don’t speak at all. These aerosols, if not diffused through ventilation, become increasingly concentrated, which increases the risk of infection. Scientists have shown that these particles – which we also release into the atmosphere when simply breathing and which can escape from improperly worn face masks – can infect people who spend more than a few minutes within a five-meter radius of an infected person, depending on the length of time and the nature of the interaction. In the following example, we outlined what conditions increase the risk of contagion in this situation.If the buildings are properly ventilated, with good air conditioning, there is less risk. University of Colorado Boulder atmospheric chemist Jose-Luis Jimenez has released an airborne transmission pilot tool that may help us answer some of these questions, or at least provide some informed guidance.
Majority of Spanish Flu Deaths Were From Secondary Bacteria
Our fantastic public health officials are either keeping this from you or are too dumb to do some research. Beware of the so-called 2nd wave— my bet is it will be largely bacterial pneumonia. Asking the at-risk elderly to mask is going to send them to the hospital. 💯 This is not about health.
The majority of deaths in 1918-1919 influenza resulted directly from secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper-respiratory-tract bacteria.

Why Are All Common Symptoms Now Associated With COVID-19?
COVID-19 Is Becoming A Mental Illnesses Disease . . .
Here is a list of 87 COVID-19 symptoms that Google Searches are tracking. This map and chart below show where these searches are taking place. The paranoia of associating all symptoms to COVID-19 has now become the norm conditioned by the media and our CDC. The fact that more and more people are trying to test for COVID-19 for simple things like headaches and minors things is ridiculous. When is this madness going to stop?
The dataset and list of symptoms of COVID-19 Search Patterns show aggregated, anonymized patterns in Google searches for more than 400 health symptoms, signs, and conditions such as cough, fever, and breathing difficulties. For each field, the dataset provides a time series that shows the relative volume of searches for each symptom.
This dataset is designed to help researchers understand the effects of COVID-19 more effectively. It should not be used for the purposes of medical diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment. It also isn’t intended to be used for guidance on personal travel plans.
This aggregated, anonymized dataset illustrates trends in symptom search patterns and is intended to help researchers understand the effects of COVID-19 better. Public health experts suggested that search pattern patterns could be helpful in generally understanding how COVID-19 affects populations and also in early identification of outbreaks.
You should not presume that the data is a record of clinical incidents in the real world or use this information for medical diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment purposes. Try exploring these interactive charts and maps of symptom search patterns to visualize the info.
On this map, purple counties had more searches related to “Fever” during the week of 2020-08-17 than typical for the county. Fewer related searches took places in green counties. Some counties have insufficient data to map.
The amount of Google searches for a wide variety of health symptoms, signs, and conditions is reflected in this data. The search count is mapped to each of these symptoms for each day and arrange the results by geographical area. A regular or weekly time series for each area showing the relative frequency of searches for each symptom is the resulting dataset.
It is possible to map a single search query to more than one symptom. For example, three symptoms are mapped to check for "acid reflux and coughing up mucus": cough, Gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Heartburn.

Nursing Home Residents Account for 40% of COVID-19 Deaths in U.S.
Nursing home residents have accounted for 35-40 percent of all COVID-19 deaths in the US since the coronavirus pandemic started. That's a big number, given that just 0.45 percent of the entire U.S. population is made up of 1.5 million people living in nursing homes.
What states have seen the most nursing home deaths from coronavirus? We rated all 50 using data obtained from the COVID-19 Public File of the Nursing Home, which includes data recorded to the National Healthcare Safety Network of the CDC. This information shares information on the facility capacity of the nursing homes, resident effects, the number of supplies and protective equipment, as well as their ventilator capacity. With coronavirus nursing home fatality rates of more than 100 deaths per 1,000 nursing home residents, four states in the Northeast were at the top of the list.
For every 1,000 nursing home patients, Massachusetts was the state with the highest coronavirus nursing home fatality rate, with 124 deaths. It was also found that the state of Massachusetts had one of the highest rates of infection with coronavirus in nursing homes, with 337.4 cases per 1,000 people.
New Jersey nursing homes have found themselves a near second because of their high coronavirus mortality rate, 122.6 per 1,000 residents. New Jersey was also found to have the highest rate of COVID-19 cases by state in the world, with 359.2 people testing positive for every 1,000 residents in the nursing home.

Doctors Hold Capitol Hill Press Conference to Challenge Big Tech Censorship
The Frontline Doctors that were Deleted by Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are back to respond to their being silenced. This is why the evil liberal news media is the problem.
I just watched an excellent presentation (approx 20 mins) from 8 doctors discussing COVID-19 and the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine to treat this disease. According to this group, the disease can be safely treated - it is the fear of being infected (with COVID-19) that appears to be the real problem!
80% of Health Outcomes Are NOT Due To Medical Factors
Eighty percent of what affects health outcomes is associated with factors outside the traditional boundaries of healthcare delivery—health behaviors (tobacco use, sexual activity), social and economic factors (employment, education, income), and physical environment (air quality, water quality). When healthcare delivery systems expand their interactions with people in these territories, now the purview of the public health system, outcomes will improve.
Social & physical determinants of health look at the following factors:
- Transportation
- Housing
- Financial
- Food
- Substance abuse
- Sexual activity
- Social isolation
- Education
- Employment
- Air quality
- Water quality
- Access to green space, parksbeaches
The economic models of countries such as France, Germany, and Norway align with controlling costs while producing better outcomes. As an illustration, private healthcare spending in the U.S. is five times that of the second-highest spending country (Canada). And despite this astronomical private spend, the U.S. is also third-highest in public spending, despite only covering 34 percent of residents through public programs including Medicare and Medicaid.
Did you know that the USA and New Zealand are also the only Countries that allow big pharma drug advertising on television? Most of my friends who grew up in England or Australia think the US is nuts for allowing this.
Approximately 3.6 million Americans struggle to access healthcare because they don’t have reliable transportation.
As many as 1 in 8 Americans are food insecure or dependent on a local food bank or meal delivery service, to address gaps in nutrition for better health outcomes.
78% of providers lack the data to identify patients' social needs
Many providers have basic demographic information on their patient populations but are missing the more sophisticated insights that could help them better support patients to prioritize health. So, what should you be looking for?
Here is a service provided by Experian that will give Doctors access to some social data.
