  • Save Baby Cyrus, the Saga Continues…


    The state of Idaho is insisting on prosecuting Baby Cyrus’ Mom, Marissa, for protecting her baby.

    Marissa’s 1st hearing: Officer Steve Hansen “I told her multiple times she could go as soon as she gave me her child”

    Actually what he said was, “Just give us the baby, and you can be on your merry way.”
    This protective mother wrapped her arms tighter around her son and shook her head and said she couldn’t do that. She pled to stay with her son. This is a loving protective mother who was shown to cause NO HARM to her child the case dimissed in May of 2022!

    The state of Idaho is prosecuting this young mom with Resisting and Obstructing charges because she would not voluntarily hand over her nursing baby to them. They had no reasonable cause, no warrant. The officer said to give the baby over, “and you can go on your merry way,” before forcefully taking the nursing infant from her arms, putting her in handcuffs, and booking her into Ada County Jail, where her father and husband had to bail her out. Because there was very evidently no reasonable cause and because of public outrage, CPS returned the baby, dismissed the case, and dropped charges, but the State is still prosecuting this young mom. The sentence could be 6 months in jail and a fine if convicted.

    This video was streamed lived by the young mom Marissa as she watched her husband and sister (mistaken for her) get arrested by Merdian Police in Idaho. Thousands of individuals have heard the story. This young mom pleaded to stay with her child – a sick little boy for that; she was seeking medical care and treatments. This family is close friends with Health Freedom Idaho leadership, and it was a devastating time for us all!
    After much public outcry, the local CPS office returned the baby to his family.
    There is still outstanding is the charge against this young mother for resisting while they snatched her nursing baby from her arms. We need you to stand by her against this corruption.
    This loving mother did what all of us would do by protecting our children!

    May 4 Baby Cyrus’s Case Has Been Dismissed!

    The family was cleared of accusations of harming their son. YET…the state still insists on prosecuting this innocent mother for protecting her child!

    The Original Story

    On March 11th, 2022, after my daughter Marissa and my Son-in-law Levi had spent over 2 months of their lives and thousands of dollars out-of-pocket going to medical specialists trying to determine the cause of their son, Baby Cyrus’s cyclical vomiting syndrome, they canceled one single weigh-in appointment with Nurse Aaron Dykstra of Functional Medicine of Idaho.

    The appointment was at 10:00 am that morning, but Marissa woke up feeling under the weather and called to cancel her appointment. Nobody answered, so she left a message and went back to sleep. At 10:20 am, just 20 minutes after the originally scheduled appointmentNurse Aaron Dykstra called CPS and started a chain of events that ultimately ended in violence and abduction.

    A few hours later, CPS social worker Nice Loufoua sent Marissa a text message, and about an hour after that, Meridian police showed up at my house looking for Baby Cyrus and Levi, who were not at my house.

    Later that evening, after Marissa was feeling better, we left as a family to have dinner at a friend’s house who himself is a former police officer. Apparently, local law enforcement had put out a BOLO, which means “Be on the Look out” for Levi’s truck—so the entire local area law enforcement was looking for Levi, all because they canceled a single weigh-in appointment.

    We later learned that Meridian Police illegally traced Levi’s cell phone by demanding that his cell phone provider turn over location data from pings to his cell phone. They found out where Levi and the rest of us were, having dinner at a friend’s house, and waited for hours until we left and then proceeded to pull Levi over at a Chevron gas station in Garden City on Chinden Blvd.

    At that point, around 15 to 20 police officers showed up and began acting like tyrants and thugs, abusing my family with excessive force. Sargent Christopher McGilvery pulled Levi out of the truck without cause or reason, slammed him up against the truck, and then put him in handcuffs.

    The officer in charge was Jeff Fuller. He himself made the declaration of “imminent danger” with zero evidence. He claimed to be using “what the doctors” have said, though there was not a single doctor who had made any such claim regarding Baby Cyrus. In fact, in his own police report, Jeff Fuller admits that he based his declaration of “imminent danger” on the words of Nurse Tracy Jungman, who is not a doctor, and who had never even seen Baby Cyrus. To make a life-altering diagnosis on a patient without ever having seen them is medical malpractice. Yet, that is exactly what happened here, and  Jeff Fuller was happy to do so.

    THE TIMELINE OF THIS HORRIFIC MEDICAL KIDNAPPING IN IDAHO can be found here: https://freedomman.org/cyrus/

    INTERVIEW BY RICK GREEN WITHIN HOURS OF THE STATE KIDNAPPING

    CPS knew that Baby Cyrus was not in imminent danger as they had already lined up a foster family to take him in that very night, demonstrating that he did not need to be with a doctor and was not about to die or in danger of “serious physical or mental injury.” The claim of “imminent danger” was, by their own admission, a complete and total lie!

    Further evidence of this is the fact that the attending physician at St Luke’s Meridian reviewed Baby Cyrus and the medical records indicate she said the following:

    Stacks Image 593

    The sending physician handed us the pt [i.e. patient] secured in his car seat. She indicated the patient was in stable condition and requested that we leave promptly. She stated, “just go! This is a healthy baby with no interventions”…no acute life threats noted.

    So CPS admitted Baby Cyrus was not in imminent danger, and the St. Luke’s physician likewise admitted that Baby Cyrus as not in imminent danger but was a “healthy baby with no interventions,” and even though imminent danger means that your life is threatened and you are about to die, the physician stated clearly that there were “no acute life threats noted.”

    The proof is clear and simple—Baby Cyrus was never in “imminent danger”—it was all a lie and the authorities knew it! Yet they kidnapped him anyway.

    Now, if you didn’t previously know or understand what Nancy Schaefer declared to the whole world about the Corrupt Business of Child Protective Services, then none of this would make sense. But we now know that the state of Idaho, along with an endless amount of bureaucrats, makes money off of these kidnappings. Nancy Schaefer lost her life for exposing this truth.

    Force must be Necessary and Measured.

    In the final analysis, All Government is Force. Force must be necessary and measured. Arrests are seizures. Taking a child under the authority of “imminent danger” is another kind of seizure based on the state’s subjective interpretation of circumstances. Separating a child from a parent is traumatic, to say the least, for both sides. Such action requires the most careful scrutiny. In considering the exercise of such force, it is best to err on the side of liberty and to apply moral agency when the government steps into the family. The same goes for domestic violence calls. Overreaction can cause more harm than the real or perceived concern at hand. Sometimes things are not as they appear at the onset of a complaint. Will the reasonable and necessary standard hold up here when measured against the state’s actions? Was baby Cyrus really in “imminent danger,” as the state’s actions assert, or was he in the best place he could ever be: in the loving, capable, competent care of his parents? The state is, in essence, guilty until proven innocent in any seizure. The burden of proof is on the state. They must walk their actions back to the information that spawned this exercise of force and is judged. Discussions that are most productive at this moment are not about the one unfolding but over similar circumstances in our state that have run their course and prove overreach of the Administrative State in Idaho, of which H&W is a part. Current events bring to light a concern I’ve long heard citizens voice regarding CPS/H&W.

    Doug Traubel, Candidate for Sheriff

    Here’s an open letter to the police regarding their misuse of force against this young mother and her nursing baby. Several points were made:

    What logical reason do your officers have to tear the child away from his nursing mother, who clearly posed zero threat to the health and well-being of the child?

    She could have stayed with her baby in the ambulance and in the hospital, but you ripped that child away from his primary source of nutrition. This is child endangerment. Please explain your justification—thousands of breastfeeding mothers would like to know.

    What justification do you have for the Meridian police officer who repeatedly lied to Marissa on camera and promised her that she would never be separated from Baby Cyrus and that she would be able to ride with him in the ambulance to the hospital?

    Does the Meridian Police Department and Ada County Sheriff’s department support lying to citizens in order to kidnap children?

    SUPPORT LEGISLATION TO STOP MEDICAL KIDNAP

    Legislation is being proposed in the 2022 session to protect families with sick children from having CPS involvement when a family seeks medical help.

    It is CRITICAL that our parental rights are protected. Our children are given to us BY GOD, and these inherent rights need to be protected from state departments that have claimed authority over the lives of families. Medical Kidnap is the wrongful removal of a minor or vulnerable adult from a parent or guardian by law enforcement and/or a social worker. Parents/Guardians should always have the final decision in the child or vulnerable adults’ medical care and treatment until those parental rights are terminated by due process in a court.

  • STOP THE COVID SHOTS FOR SCHOOL

    Despite a huge public outcry, consisting of more than 31,000 public comments posted on the CDC’s website, despite hundreds of experts warning of serious risks to children, the Centers for Disease Control has voted to add the Covid mRNA vaccine to the VFC Program, which provides free Vaccines for children and as well as add the COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as six months old to the new Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedules, which will be rolled out in February 2023. This will add 54 injections (72 antigens because of combined shots like MMR) to 72 injections (90 antigens.) Its nothing to do with health. This will allow the pharmaceutical companies to escape product liability which means the “emergency” can end, but the liability protection for the pharmaceutical companies continues.

    More than a dozen states automatically add new CDC recommendations to their required schedule of vaccines for schools and daycares. There is information about vaccine laws and exemptions in every state here

    TELL HEALTH DEPARTMENT NO! WE DON’T WANT THE COVID VAX FOR SCHOOL

    Idaho will require the Health Department to submit a rule change to the legislature. Prior to that submission, they are required to host public hearings. IT IS TIME TO SPEAK UP NOW AND SAY “NO!”

    Negotiated Rulemaking Meetings and Public Hearings Schedule

    We must stop them before they try!

    “Every state must reject this CDC mandate for children immediately. Even the CDC’s own data reveals that these COVID shots are harming children. Pharmaceutical companies merely see children as a budget item to increase their bottom line and they continue to ignore the serious adverse events and deaths caused by these experimental shots.” 

    Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver

    Call to Action

    We know you are outraged and want to take action immediately. Now is the time for the parents and grandparents to reach out to the Health Department, the Education Department, and school administration, as well as the legislators who are running for office, and let them know that there is no medical or scientific justification to add a vaccine to the childhood schedule especially when there is no clinical data to justify shot.

    Parents hold power — don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

    CONTACT:

    Governor Little: https://gov.idaho.gov/contact-us/


    Department of Education

    Make clear to your superintendent and commissioner that exemptions are not enough and that you will be pulling your child from school if this vaccine is mandated for attendance, costing the district tens of thousands of dollars in funding.

    COVID Adds 18 More Shots For Our Children

    Today’s vote on adding the COVID-19 vaccines means 18 more shots — one per year between the ages of 6 months and 18 years — will be added to the schedule, according to Toby Rogers, Ph.D.

    “So overnight the childhood schedule would go from 54 injections (72 antigens because of combined shots like MMR) to 72 injections (90 antigens),” Rogers said. “This has absolutely nothing to do with health — it’s all about profit and power.”

    The number of shots added to the schedule may, in fact, be higher than Roger’s estimate because the accepted revisions did not appear to specify the number of booster doses recommended and linked only to the Interim Clinical Considerations for the use of COVID-19 Vaccines Currently Approved or Authorized in the United States.

    The accepted COVID-19 vaccine recommendations that will go into effect in 2023 include the following primary series:

    • Age 6 months-4 years: 2-dose series at 0, 4-8 weeks (Moderna) or 3-dose series at 0, 3-8, 11-16 weeks (Pfizer-BioNTech)
    • Age 5-11 years: 2-dose series at 0, 4-8 weeks (Moderna) or 2-dose series at 0, 3-8 weeks (Pfizer-BioNTech)
    • Age 12-18 years: 2-dose series at 0, 4-8 weeks (Moderna) or 2-dose series at 0, 3-8 weeks (Novavax, Pfizer-BioNTech)

    For children who are moderately or severely immunocompromised, the recommended primary doses are increased from a 2-dose series to a 3-dose series.

    CDC DATA REFLECTS THE SHOT IS NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN!

    Ironically, the CDC presented data at its ACIP meeting on September 1, 2022, that confirms that COVID shots are not safe for children. The data presented were summaries of reports from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), Vaccine Safety Data Link (VSD), a private insurance-based system that monitors hospital records, and V-safe, a voluntary smartphone-based monitoring program that relies on text messages and web surveys. 

    The data presented at the ACIP meeting revealed that within seven days after vaccination, 40-50 percent of children 5-11 years of age reported a “systemic reaction,” 10-15 percent had a “health impact,” and 2-4 percent needed “medical care.”  Within seven days of vaccination, 60-75 percent of children 12-17 years had “any systemic reaction,” 10 to 25 percent were “unable to perform daily activities,” and 5 to 20 percent were “unable to work or attend school.”

    Therefore, more than 30 percent of children in this age group had a health impact after the second shot, and booster dose, and approximately 2 percent needed medical care. 

    The CDC data clearly shows that these injections are not safe for children and teens and should be discontinued immediately. Other countries, like the United Kingdom, stopped the COVID shots for children under 12 years, except for children in high-risk categories. Sweden has also decided against recommending COVID shots for children aged 5-11.  (SOURCE)

    Government Protects the Billion Dollar Pharmaceutical Companies at the Expense of Our Children

    By adding the COVID shots to the childhood schedule, transferring liability for vaccine injuries to the federal government’s National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This delivers permanent legal protection to Pfizer and Moderna by allowing them to bring an FDA-approved shot to the market without facing lawsuits and bring in billions of dollars in revenues for the drug companies. 

    Pharmaceutical companies are not liable for injuries or deaths associated with Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) injections but can be held liable for injuries caused by a fully licensed “vaccine,” unless that shot is added to the CDC’s childhood schedule. This means liability protection also includes the adult COVID shots as well. This will allow the pharmaceutical companies to escape product liability which means the “emergency” can end, but the liability protection continues.

    REPORTED INJURY AND DEATH ARE NOT ADEQUATELY TRACKED

    Vaccine injury reports have skyrocketed since the COVID vaccines. This voluntary reporting system doesn’t adequately track the injuries and deaths associated with the shots. Individuals experiencing reactions are not reported by medical facilities in a consistent or regular basis. However, the reports that are coming in are shocking and leave little doubt that this shot is causing long-term harm to many. OpenVaers.com

  • Health Implications of Mask Wearing

    Mask wearing increases the incidence of mouth breathing. Mouth Breathing increases sympathetic tone, which increases cortisol levels. Chronically elevated cortisol is implicated in the progression of myriads of degenerative diseases from heart disease and cancer, to Alzheimer’s and diabetes.

    Mouth breathing increases stress and anxiety and causes high blood pressure, increasing chances of major cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke.

    Mouth breathing causes dry mouth which changes the oral microbiome and increases the incidence of periodontal disease, fungal infections, halitosis, respiratory infections, asthma, and tooth decay.

    Mouth breathing affects oral-facial development in youth. It can lead to morphological changes in their growth patterns, with significant quality of life consequences that will plague them the rest of their life.

    Mouth breathing positions the tongue down and back, which leads to retrognathic mandibular growth that further impedes and collapses the airway, it also leads to excessive maxillary growth and high arched palates that compromise the nasopharyngeal airflow.

    Children with such problems often present with increases in anxiety, irritability, ADD, ADHD, and depression as well as higher incidences of tooth decay. Children that suffer from mouth breathing are also destined for issues with obstructive sleep apnea and the comorbidities that travel with it.

    People wearing masks start mouth breathing to compensate for nasal obstruction and airway resistance. Infants, children, and adolescents, in particular, are affected negatively because they are still growing. Their skeletal growth is directly impacted.

    Many schools are requiring children to wear masks. Ironically, impeding their airway impedes their ability to learn during memory-related tasks. Empathy towards each other is reduced. Facial cues and the learning of nonverbal communication skills are drastically reduced. Wearing masks reduces the visual field of the wearer, putting the wearer and others at risk if those wearing the mask are operating machinery or driving vehicles.

    Consistent mask-wearing has reduced people’s concern about their overall oral hygiene. Regular tooth brushing has gone down, and incidences of tooth grinding and bad breath have gone up. Night-time tooth grinding often accompanies mouth breathing and airway obstruction. Mask wearing leads to chronic rhinosinusitis that can lead to fungal or bacterial intracranial abscesses. It brings with it the host of problems associated with mouth breathing listed above.

    We are creating an entire generation that will be overwhelmed with health issues that are and will be a direct result of the interventions imposed during this historic time of mass hysteria.

    STOP MASKING OUR CHILDREN.

    Monday, November 15th the Idaho Legislature will be back at the Capitol. Make plans NOW to attend. Health Freedom Idaho and other liberty-minded organizations will bet there bright and early as the Committee Hearing starts at 7:30 a.m.

    There are many things on the agenda!!

    HOUSE VOTE ON CENSURE OF REP GIDDINGS

    There will be a vote regarding Rep. Priscilla Giddings (R-White Bird), a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, from the House Ethics Committee based on several complaints submitted to the committee.

    One complaint was submitted by Rep. Greg Chaney (R-Caldwell) – that was later dropped, and the other was submitted by several dozen legislators, Republicans, and Democrats.

    The complaints stem from April of this year when Giddings shared a news article from Redoubt News. The article contained the name, image, and other personal information about the woman who is currently accusing Von Ehlinger of rape. When the article was released, there was no active investigation by the Boise Police Department, but the House Ethics Committee had chosen to move forward on an ethics hearing and submitted to the House Floor recommendations of censure.

  • How Our Wikipedia SHOULD Read

    Someone decided to do a poor write-up on Health Freedom Idaho on Wikipedia. Of course, it’s skewed, inaccurate, and bias. So, we made an attempt to update the listing with accurate information and citations. The update remained on the site for eleven minutes until it was reverted to inaccuracy. They don’t want the truth – just propoganda.

    Remember your sources. Wikipedia promotes only what they want to promote. Having primary sources from the organization they are trying to describe would be too close to the truth for their comfort. The 3 hours of work it took to do this write-up with citation was reverted. The second attempt was made and it was just a matter of seconds to revert it’s inaccuracies.

    Health Freedom Idaho is a grassroots health freedom organization dedicated to preserving the freedom of choice for health care decisions of all individuals, preserving parental rights, defending natural rights, and protecting citizens’ access to toxin-free living in the great state of Idaho. [1] They believe that mandates for medical procedures have no place in a free society supporting individuals’ freedom to make medical choices for their families with informed consent. Concerns about mask requirements[2], restrictions on the operation of businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic[3], and vaccine mandates for employment[4] and other COVID pandemic reactions have the organization leaders, volunteers and members attending and speaking out at events across the state. Founded in May 2015, the organization describes its mission as including “preserv[ing] our freedoms regarding the health care of our choice.” While the group’s activities have mainly taken place in the Boise area, the organization has a northern chapter hosting several educational events in 2020-2021.[5]

    Leadership

    As of 2021, the organization has a long-standing executive board and was headed by co-executive directors Miste Gardner Karlfeldt and Sarah Clendenon.

    Parental Rights

    Health Freedom Idaho has worked to preserve the rights of parents in areas of vaccination, medical choice, and parental authority for medical treatment of minor children. Of significant concern is the intrusion of CPS on families and the traumatizing impact that results. Health Freedom Idaho brought to light numerous attempts of medical kidnap in North Idaho, initiated by hospital staff, after parents requested a second opinion or ask questions regarding an invasive treatment.[6] [7] [8] More than 80% of children removed from their homes in Idaho are returned to parents. Many families suffer trauma from separation and even abuse within the child protective system.[9]

    Faith Healing

    Health Freedom Idaho has opposed the changing of Idaho state laws regarding children and faith healing.[10] On October 3, 2016, several Health Freedom Idaho members attended a meeting of the Children at Risk of Faith Healing working group to provide testimony against changing the laws under discussion. The working group included state legislators and was formed at the request of then-governor Butch Otter to examine laws that exempt parents from the requirement to seek emergency medical care for a child in the case of a health emergency if they instead attempt to use faith healing. In the five years prior to the hearing, there were less than 3 cases of children dying per year in such circumstances with several of these deaths including newborns with unattended home births.[11] The working group ultimately opted not to submit a recommendation to the Idaho Legislature on whether or not to change the laws.[6]

    Health Freedom Idaho has taken a strong stance for parental rights [12][13] opposing additional statutes citing the current statutes already place to protect children from abuse and neglect. HFI brought awareness to the legislators that the small political organization promoting legal change had the backing of a vaccine advocate, Paul Offit, who said numerous times that parents should lose their children if they don’t vaccinate.[14] There were serious concerns that the ‘faith healing campaign’ had a more sinister motive designed to undermine parental authority rather than protect children in Idaho.[15] [16]

    Vaccination views

    The organization holds the view that every parent should have the authority to choose what is for their family in regards to medical treatment, including vaccination. Health Freedom Idaho is frequently described in the media as an anti-vaccination group by the media. Promoting informed consent, the organization has hundreds of articles about the liability-free status of vaccine manufacturers[17], about the risks of vaccines[18] [19] [20], and the moral concerns about abortion-tainted vaccines.[21][22] [23] Health Freedom Idaho is additament about providing parents with the information to make vaccination choices for their own family, “education before vaccination.” hosted annual events to allow parents to hear from immunologists and doctors about the risk versus benefits of childhood vaccinations and the newly developed COVID vaccines. [24]

    Health Freedom Idaho opposes to vaccine mandates. “It’s NOT about healthcare and safety or effectiveness of vaccines, it is about freedom of choice. It’s about personal bodily sovereignty. No person should have control over another’s body without their consent.”[25]

    In 2019 the organization posted a video from an immunologist about childhood vaccines.[26][27] In 2021, they posted videos from immunologist Dr. Ryan Cole who speaks of reservations about vaccinations for the COVID recovered at the Idaho Central District Health Meeting.[28] In November 2016, the group’s blog posted a 2013 study, that the flu shot increases risk of fetal death.[3] The claim is contradicted by the bulk of research on miscarriage and the flu shot and the post was rated False by Politifact.[3] This post would go on to circulate widely on Politifact in 2019.[3]

    During Idaho’s 2017 legislative session, Health Freedom Idaho advocated a bill that would hold schools accountable to the law allows parents to provide a letter written by the parent to exempt their child from vaccination requirements rather than using a school-provided form to do so.[18] The form created by the health department required parents to sign incriminating and to acknowledge that “I am aware that my child may contract a vaccine-preventable disease.”[19] The bill died without receiving a hearing in the Senate.[18] “The form developed by IDHW exceeded the scope of the Idaho Statutes (section 39-1118(2) or 39-4802(2), Idaho Code;). The state prescribed form  based on IDAPA 16.02.15, is in violation of Idaho Code 39-4802 and 39-4804.” In January 2018, an Idaho Senate panel introduced a bill similar to the 2017 bill with the support of Health Freedom Idaho, which never received a hearing.[20] In 2020, due to the persistence of the organization and the legislators advocating on behalf of parents, the rules were changed to line up with the statute and amended to include the acceptance of a parent-signed statement.

    In 2019, Heath Freedom Idaho opposed a new state administrative rule requiring students entering 12th grade to get a meningitis booster shot. [29] The rule was ultimately adopted.[21]

    After years of advocating, a 2021 House Bill 298 passed requiring the schools and daycares to advise parents of their right to a vaccine exemption for religious, philosophical, or medical reasons. [30]

    “School officials shall describe the exemptions provided in this section and provide a citation to this section in any communication to parents and guardians regarding immunization.” [31] See also Idaho Code 39-4804 which details that vaccines are not mandatory, may be refused, parents are entitled to information about complications, and that opting out may not be used against a parent in any way.

    Health Freedom Idaho has organized, co-organized, and participated in several protests of health measures taken by the Idaho state government and the City of Boise in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These have included protests of the stay-home order issued by governor Brad Little in April 2020, of mask orders issued by the City of Boise, and of emergency legislation considered by the state legislature related to mail-in voting and protection from COVID-19 related liability for businesses and government bodies.[22][4][1][23][24][25][26][8] They also organized a demonstration at a hospital in which thousands of citizens lined the main thoroughfare in protest of the hospital’s decision to require staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19.[32]

    They co-organized these protests with a range of other organizations including the Idaho Freedom Foundation, the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance, Ammon Bundy, and his supporters, American Common Law Academy, Arise Freedom 2021, and the John Birch Society.[4][28][29][2][22] These events featured speakers including Washington State Representative Matt Shea, Idaho State Representative Heather Scott, and Ammon Bundy and Dr. Ryan Cole, Senator Christy Zito.[7][30][24]

    Health Freedom Idaho did not participate in protests that included demonstrations outside the homes of officials, such as those of governor Brad Little, the health officials participating in a Central District Health meeting, and a police officer who arrested former Health Freedom Idaho member Sarah Walton Brady for refusing to leave a park that was closed due to the pandemic.[1][31][32][33]

    However, events coordinated other locations included the Idaho State Capitol, outside the Boise City Hall, and the parking lot of the Central District Health Center Offices.[2][25][23][33][34]

    Some demonstrations included setting a fire in which masks were burned, and the open carrying of firearms was noted at protests which is common in Idaho.[25][34][8][5][28][7][4]

    One of the more distinctive demonstrations was a call for a special legislative session supported by two dozen legislators who understood the governor’s response to the pandemic had exceeded expiration and extended past the 60-day limit.[2][35][36] The Health Freedom Idaho continues to advise citizens of the ‘state of emergency’ that as of October 2021, exceeds 580 days. [37]

    Another notable event occurred on August 24, 2020, at the Idaho State Capitol. Citizens were attempting to enter the public galley to listen to the legislative floor debate. Officials attempted to lock out the public by closing the doors on them. While citizens chanted “This is our house!” officers tugged the door closed and citizens attempted to keep the door open, in the struggle glass door broke.[38] National news made a point to mention that some participants carried weapons (which is a common occurrence in Idaho) while attending the special legislative session to consider bills on early voting and shielding businesses and government bodies from legal liability related to COVID-19.[22][4]

    Health Freedom Idaho’s executive director also urged group members to participate in a protest of Biden’s visit to the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise on September 13, 2021, a demonstration was on behalf of several causes, including opposition to the vaccine mandate announced by President Biden the previous week.[35]

  • Are We In The Never Ending Emergency?

    Conservative People of Canyon County speech about our ‘state of emergency’ all powers given to the governor to do as he pleases. The facts reveal that we aren’t in an emergency and that the law makes no provision for this extended length of dictatorship.

  • What about tracking the COVID recovered?

    The concern is immunity. So what about Natural Immunity from the COVID recovered?

    In this clip from October 15, 2021, at the Central District Health Meeting, Dr. Ryan Cole answers the question of natural immunity COVID recovered. Central Health District Board discusses the rate of vaccination and natural immunity COVID recovered posing the question are we close to reaching herd immunity? Should those with natural immunity/previously infected be exempt from vaccination? Health Board Member was unable to provide statistics readily available to the public. These were added by HFI as a screenshot overlay from the coronavirus.idaho.gov website. According to Idaho’s government website: https://coronavirus.idaho.gov/ 1/3 of the Ada County population is Air Force (mandated vaccinations) 809,091 People fully vaccinated* statewide with 276,862 Cases (Total includes confirmed and probable cases) out of a population of 1,839,106.
