2023, just before another election year, rumors are flying that mask mandates will be implemented in the near future. This means that parents will be forced again to submit religious exemptions to mask mandates for children. In these trying times, parents find themselves once more standing up for their cherished rights and liberties, particularly in the context of mask mandates for their children. It’s a rallying cry for freedom, a reminder that parents, not institutions, should have the final say in raising their kids. These new mask mandates are being rolled out again. We want to empower you as an individual and a parent to stand your ground confidently and respectfully.
One mom’s response to masking mandates and submitting a religious exemption was, “Child abuse is against my religion!”
Her words echo the sentiments of countless parents who firmly hold that subjecting their children to masks is akin to causing harm. It’s not just about physical well-being; it’s about the mental and emotional toll that masks can exact on our children. Depriving them of the simple joy of seeing smiles and freely breathing can stifle their growth and happiness.
Do we know that masks are harmful to the health and well-being of our children?
The research says yes.
Do they create fear?
Yes.
Looking for the research? There is a plethora found in this drive.
At the core of this issue is the belief that parents are answerable to a higher power—God—for the way they nurture their children. The facts are clear: the risks posed to children by the pandemic are relatively low. So, why should parents be coerced into accepting mask mandates they feel are unnecessary and even harmful to their little ones?
But it’s essential to remember that these concerns are rooted in sincere convictions. Parents who assert religious objections to mask mandates genuinely believe these mandates are detrimental to their children’s health and well-being. They see masks as instruments of fear and tools to enforce what they perceive as “unlawful and unjust rules.” In our eyes, it’s not just about protecting our kids; it’s about preserving the inalienable right to parent as we believe God intended.
This is a matter of personal conscience. A firmly held moral belief that your children are a gift from God and that he grants you wisdom and authority to raise them as he directs your heart.
Religious Exemption for Mask To wear a mask on my face goes against God and my religious beliefs.
As a Christian, I view the mask as an affront to what I know to be true in the Word of God.
We know that wearing a mask is part of a satanic ritual, a humiliation ritual, which the God of the Bible says we are to abstain from engaging in rituals. Eph 5:11 “..Take no part in unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”
Gen 1:27, Gen 9:26, and Col 3:10 says that I am made in the image and likeness of God. As Job 33:4 states perfectly, “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” I will not hide the image of God nor hinder the breath of life which is my very connection to my creator.
The command from God to “fear not” is written hundreds of times in the Bible. Our generous Abba, Father has given us a reminder for every day of the year to “fear not” because He wants us to look to Him, not the world, for our protection and provision.
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” From this scripture, we see that a sound mind cannot exist with the spirit of fear. In fact, the spirit of fear makes us slaves according to Romans 8:15 “So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
The good news is in 1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” We know that God is love so there is no fear in God which leads to the understanding that the spirit of fear will separate me from God and His perfect love. Not trusting in God is an abomination to God.
Heb 11:6 “And without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.” 1 Cor 2:5 “That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. I have faith that I am made perfectly by my creator with a perfectly designed immune system as God saw that His creation was good in Gen 1:3. Romans 1:17 says that the righteous live by faith and Mark 10:52 says that we can experience healing through faith. Therefore, my faith is in the one true creator God not the shifting direction of Dr Fauci and is 1 mask, 2 mask, goggles, distancing, and gloves. My religious liberty is my birthright and is supported by the Constitution.
The morbidity risk for children of the virus is nearly zero. Still, schools are attempting to mandate masks with some giving options to opt-out with a doctor’s note. Here is an example of an exemption note obtained for a child that was used successfully in a school situation.
To Whom It May Concern:
Child’s Name has been under my chiropractic care for a number of years. I care for his spinal integrity and nerve system optimization. Having an unobstructed nerve system allows him to better adapt to his environment and function at his best.
The child’s name is a curious young man, full of wonder. He has a terrific sense of humor and he isn’t afraid to ask deep questions. I believe, with his mother’s corroboration, that he is quite at ease in my office because he knows what to expect and I eliminate as many stressors that may hinder his comfort. Otherwise, he can act inattentive and become easily distracted.
In 2020, Child’s Name underwent a psychoeducational evaluation that revealed that he has some challenges with language processing which are impacting his ability to complete classwork to his full potential. Furthermore, he demonstrated relative weakness with making sound/symbol (auditory/visual) and visual recall associations for spelling and reading. These difficulties, concludes the evaluator, are indicative of an auditory, visual, and kinesthetic integration challenge.
Apparently, Child’s Name’s scores were below average on one selective attention task and one dual attention task, and very low on single attention tasks. These combined results indicate that he has features of ADHD, combined presentation. He also has underlying processing difficulties that make academics, especially writing, very laborious for him and create fatigue, inattention, and overactive motor tendencies.
Child’s Name’s parents are concerned, with reason, about the effects that wearing a mask will have on Child’s Name’s academics and social development/engagement. Social engagement depends on how well we can regulate the muscles of our faces and heads via pathways linking the cortex with the brainstem. These are the muscles that give expression to our faces, allow us to gesture with our heads, put intonation with our voices, direct our gaze, and permit us to distinguish human voices from background sounds.
The neural regulation of the muscles of the face and head influences how someone perceives the engagement behavior of others. Absent facial expressions, and especially in someone who already exhibits learning, processing, and social challenges, may cause compromised emotional regulation and limited, spontaneous social engagement.
Should Child’s Name be forced to wear a mask while at school, we may likely see a further decline in his ability to learn and to exhibit adaptive and social behaviors?
Child’s Name’s parents are very well informed about the current health situation/crisis in which we find ourselves. They go to great lengths to ensure that Child’s Name eats well, gets plenty of clean water, exercises, and rests. I believe that Child’s Name’s nerve system and subsequent ability to learn would be enhanced if he was allowed to attend school without having to wear a mask. To ask this child to wear a mask while in school would very likely impact his ability to learn, to interact with others, and to continue to develop socially.
For the sake of discussion, pretend that masks actually matter in the spread of Covid. How much difference would they make, quantitatively?
Well, first you need to know the prevalence. If no one is sick there’s nothing to stop. So, for the sake of discussion, let’s assume a high number, let’s say 1%. One in 100 people are sick with Covid.
Someone sick with Covid is likely to be at home in bed for most of their illness. So let’s say that one in the 10 days they might be contagious they are around other people and potentially contagious.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t typically kiss every person I bump into in the grocery store. In other words, just because a person is contagious, doesn’t mean they will actually spread it to someone else. For the sake of discussion, let’s assume that if a person is contagious they could potentially spread it to one in ten of the people they interact with.
Let’s run the numbers so far: 1% x 10% x 10% = one in ten thousand people it might make a difference on any given day.
And by “might make a difference” we are talking if you have a comorbidity of one in twenty odds that you could hospitalized, and one in 140 that you could die from Covid.
So, even with a comorbidity, we are talking one in 200,000 the chance of hospitalization, and one in a million the chance of death.
Geeze, the “vaccine” is 500 times riskier than that.
And these numbers are far smaller for younger people, and people using any modicum of common sense.
And for this, we are littering the oceans with billions of pieces of plastic (far worse than straws), causing depression, loss of businesses, suicides, drug overdoses, and ill health in our population, and propagating an atmosphere of malaise across our society.
Quantitatively, the general use of masks sounds like a dumb idea to me.
PARENTS! Have you wondered about the risk to our children when they are forced to breathe their own viral and bacterial exhaust for hours on end? Have you seen the statistics that show that their risk of the virus to their overall well being is outrageously small? Are you still following orders and masking your family?
Guy Guy Crittenden, who, for 25 years, edited the trade journal HazMat Management has published an article regarding his deep concerns about masks. We are sharing his insight with his permission.
____ I happen to know a thing or two about masks and safety. Why? Because for 25 years I was the editor of an award-winning trade magazine called HazMat Management that covered such topics as pollution prevention and compliance with health & safety laws. We routinely published articles on masks, gloves, respirators, and other forms of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Now let me tell you a few things about that mask you’re wearing. And please note that what I’m about to share was also stated in the most recent edition of Del Bigtree’s program The Highwire when two OSHA mask experts spoke to the fact that the kinds of masks people are wearing were never (never!) designed to be worn for long periods and doing so is very harmful.
1. Masks are “sterilized” with Ethylene Oxide — a known carcinogen. Many teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as a direct result of the effects of this chemical.
2. The masks contain (not sprayed with) PTFE which makes up Teflon along with other chemicals.
I found and have posted the US patent to allow manufacturers to use PTFE as a filter in commercial masks… breathing these for extended periods can lead to lung cancer.”
Don’t agree? Argue with the experts at OSHA, which is the main US agency, i.e., its Occupational Health & Safety Agency. These masks are meant to be worn only for short periods, like say if you’re sanding a table for an hour and don’t want to inhale sawdust.
They don’t do anything whatsoever to stop the spread of any virus, and the emerging science of virology now understands that viruses aren’t even passed from person to person.
I know that sounds incredible, but it’s the case that the virus is in the air, you breathe it in, there’s no way to prevent that short of living in an oxygen tent, and if you have a strong immune system you’ll be fine, and if you have a weak immune system you may have to deal with the effects of your immune system working to restore balance within your metabolism.
So let’s say you don’t wear the blue packaged masks, and instead wear a homemade cloth mask — the kind people wear over and over and hang on their rearview mirror and so on.
Those masks are completely useless against a virus, and are also very dangerous. OSHA would never condone a person wearing a mask of this kind for anything more than the shortest time. Re-breathing your own viral debris is dangerous to health, and the oxygen deprivation children suffer wearing such masks all day will certainly cause brain damage. I’m not making this up.
Again, you might say, well, Guy you’re not a doctor. True, but I did edit that magazine for 25 years. That’s a long time and many articles on masks and PPE. I’ve attended numerous OH&S conferences and listened to experts discussing these matters.
You may hear people saying that surgeons and nurses wear masks like this all day. Um, no. No, they don’t. They’re trained in the proper use of masks, which is to wear them in the OR, then dispose of the mask when they leave that room. Are you aware that operating rooms are actually supplied extra oxygen, to compensate for the reduction in oxygen flow from mask-wearing?
To my mind, it’s criminal (not hyperbole) to force children to wear masks all day. Setting aside the very real psychological effects, we’re going to have a generation of brain-damaged children. Ever heard the expression, “Not enough oxygen at birth?” That’s a joke at the expense of a mentally challenged person, but that’s literally what we’re doing. And we’re told it’s to “keep us safe”! We’re told this by doctors who actually don’t know about PPE and laypeople who have no clue.
So, you can choose to believe me or not, but I was the editor for a quarter-century of a magazine that had a strong occupational health and safety mandate, and I can tell you that the mask-wearing currently mandated by governments and private businesses offers no health benefit whatsoever, in no way protects you or anyone else from any virus, and actually, does you damage beyond wearing it for a few minutes.
Guy Crittenden
Got that? Good. Now please share this message and get the conversation going with parents, who must end this masking of children immediately. This is a very serious matter. And related to that, let me just state this doesn’t end for me when the lockdown ends or the masking ends.
No, this ends for me when every politician and bureaucrat who inflicted this travesty, this crime against humanity, on the population, is in the dock, and faces their misdeeds in a court of law!
END NOTE: The CDC and WHO have acknowledged that asymptomatic people do not spread the virus, so the case for masks for such people is moot in the first place.”

Reviewing decades-old research about personal protective equipment (PPE) and the appropriate uses of it. The studies that show, in fact, these masks don’t stop RNA virus infections. That includes things like AIDS, XMRV, Ebola, and of course the current Coronavirus. So what masks actually do, is they weaken your immune system. They suppress your immune system. These bad viruses cause disease by oxidative stress, by a depleting glutosiome in our intracellular antioxidants. And by depleting our type one interferons – our frontline defenses against these kinds of viruses. So putting on that ass through the development of hypoxia, even for a few seconds can drive the infection. And you, if you should be coughing, which you will, if you wear a mask for a short time, especially if you have CLPD or pleurisy, as I do, and my husband has to OPD, we will start coughing and we will be coughing, reactivating, dormant viruses, along with coronaviruses. The masks are literally spreading the disease.
And, and so one of the arguments that they use is that they’re saying this Coronavirus is coming into little droplets, you know, and that these masks stop these droplets from spreading. What are your thoughts about that?
Dr. Judy Mikovitis
Yeah, well, they stopped the droplets, so it’s a larger droplet. So when I cough, I, and I have fluid in the lungs and you know, so when I cough, these droplets into the mask. They’re trapped there. The mask becomes moist, but as I cough the propulsion from the airflow sends the viruses from the droplets, literally into space, but more importantly, it provides the growth media. If you will, it’s there for not only viruses, bacteria, mold, mycoplasma, I’m touching it. It’s contaminated, breathing in, it. It’d become that wet moist environment, which allows the virus to literally divide it and then sit there on that mask for hours. Every time I cough, I cough more virus directly into the air, the water droplets don’t go in the air, but the virus does. The masks concentrating it. By masking, we destroy our own natural God-given immunity that has protected us for millennia.
CORONA VIRUS is a family of viruses that causes a common cold.
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
What’s happening then, like you’re saying that the viruses in themselves, they hang out in the saliva and it’s not until the individual is immunosuppressed that they get activated. And one way to get immunosuppressed is to put an individual in a hypoxic state and gludathion depleted a state, which is exactly what happens with a mask. So what is happening then is that you are then driving disease by making the majority of people to wear a mask?
So it’s almost like, you know, Bill Gates talking about that we only want 600 million people on, on earth and that this is a very fast way to achieve that.
FEAR AND ANGER IMMUNE SUPPRESSANTS
Dr. Judy Mikovitis:
Absolutely. And then we’re also told, Oh, you didn’t put on a mask, so you made somebody else sick. So we are, we’re putting a fear state and an anger state and that’s even more powerfully immune suppressants.
Wearing face masks is a constant reminder that we should fear this invisible enemy or “monster” as some politicians have called it- There is no doubt that wearing a mask reinforces the worry and fear about COVID-19. Even being in public mask-less and seeing that most people are wearing masks leaves one with a sense of angst. Fear, worry, and anxiety are powerful immune-suppressing emotions. – Children’s Health Defense
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
Yeah, exactly. All the emotions, all the fear – you have no idea what’s going to happen a month from now. So you have no certainty. All of these put an individual at a very difficult place emotionally and mentally, which obviously has a huge impact. I mean, you’re talking about neuroimmunology, you know, where your psyche, your, your thoughts, and how that has a direct correlation to the immune system. In fact, they’ve seen on the white blood cells, they see that the receptor sites for the different neurotransmitters, and also that they’re actually driven by a lot of your thoughts and feelings and emotions.
DISEASE SIGNATURE OF INFLAMMATION
Dr. Judy Mikovitis:
Absolutely. And there are two key cytokines that are important in COVID-19. In 1999, that was one of our discoveries of how you got HIV AIDS if you’ve got this disease signature of inflammation. So the cytokine storm disease signature in COVID-19 is two markers, really interleukin six and TNF alpha. And there is the height of neuroinflammation trauma. In fact, depression, psychosis, psychiatric disorders, all of the things that we’re seeing and, and it’s being called, COVID-19 being blamed on SARS code too. And it’s not the infection, it’s the response to the infection.
So by wearing the mask by social distancing, we’re literally driving the disease and, psychosocial and more disease via those same two key molecules interleukin six and TNF alpha.
MASK CONTAMINATION
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
You see people wearing masks and consider how many times did touch that mask per minute? This is tremendous. So which means that now you’re introducing something that was not meant to be breathed in.
You’re touching a surface then you touch a mask and then you play with your cell phone and whatever,
and then do touch a mask or you pay cash or pay something that has a lot of hands connected to it.
And then you fiddle with your mask….
So now you then concentrate those contaminates in a humid environment where the virus can replicate, but you’re introducing new things from the environment that you continue to do on breathing in that’s concentrated within that mask.
Dr. Judy Mikovitis:
“All this touching of the mask raises the potential that viral transmission to the mask can then transfer to the nasal and oral cavities.”
– Children’s Health Defense
Correct it’s toxic to your lungs. One of the things in those little paper blue masks Children’s Health Defense reported last week is they’re sprayed with Tesla. So now you’re putting chemo a cancer-causing agent caustic agent, um, these hydrocarbons and the levels in the blood of the people that are sick are skyrocketing and people wearing masks. So there’s a lot of toxic things on the back, and there are a time and a place to use them as you know, very well. We do it then training as, as healthcare professionals on when and why choose to wear a mask.
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt 1:
The interesting part is that as people then get more sick from wearing the mask, then that gives, you know, the powers that be a stronger reason to tell people that they need to isolate and continue to wear the mask. So it’s like they created this, this perfect feedback mechanism that reinforces that behavior.
Dr. Judy Mikovitis:
Correct. And that’s why it’s so important. We’re here today. And we keep informing people in our professional capacities to limit the mask. The fires in Northern California right now that that is probably up in Idaho as far and further an n 95 mask is critical for me and my husband with our pleurisy and COBD respectively. We have to stay indoors, but we don’t go outside and spend a lot of time in that smoke as it will cause us further cause damage to our lungs, which is what we’re trying to protect.
Dr. Michael Karlfelt:
Exactly. And then again, the end 95 mask is to use when you are in a contaminated area and you’re filtering the, uh, the contaminants that are in your environment as you’re breathing in, but when you’re breathing out, there’s, you know, it’s a normal breath out, you know, so you’re not protecting those around you in any shape or form, you know, as you’re breathing out, ’cause you’re just breathing out your own air.
Dr. Judy Mikovitis :
Right. And those are among the most restrictive for oxygen. So those quickly we become dizzy and hypoxic when we wear those. So those are the worst for the coronavirus. The best for our first responders who are dealing with the smoke.
The Plandemic video segment from Mikki Willis featuring you Dr. Judy went viral and was banned on every major social media platform for exposing the truth about Covid-19. Right now in history, it looks like it just, all of a sudden this all just happened and the world just changed overnight. But it seems from what I’m hearing is that this may have been something that has been in the works for a long time. When you dig a little bit deeper as to who owns patents to what how important this is and some kind of a scheme or plan to achieve something. I’m not a hundred percent sure.
Dr. Judy Mikovitis
Yeah. I don’t think any of us can be a hundred percent sure, but clearly, from the days of HIV and the Plandemic movie, I’m sure you’re seeing it by now. This new screening Plandemic Indoctornation on the left-hand side of the screen was an exercise that happened at Johns Hopkins University called the Event 201. https://centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/
And that occurred in November of 2019. And they basically had actors and actresses playing authority, playing newscasters, the media, and literally on the right-hand side of the screen was today and the two were indistinguishable. So I was in fact, right on May 4th, it is a planned epidemic and the movie goes into it. The Indoctrination goes into it when you see all the way back to 1976 when we have the swine flu and that vaccine did more than damage than the swine flu ever did.
And then we walked through and we remember HIV, bird flu, swine flu, through the 90’s anthrax that accompanied 9/11. Then we look at the late 70’s and ’80s and the DTP vaccinations, which were literally killing children, causing seizures, devastating injury from the cellular component in the DTP, in the pertussis part of the vaccine. So now we have DT AP, the AP means a-cellular. So it was, it was clear in the seventies and early eighties that the vaccines were causing devastating injuries because of the cellar debris that wasn’t cleaned from the vaccine. It’s in our book, Plague of Corruption. It’s also in the movie, you hear Mike Hugo talk and Andy Wakefield’s most recent movie – 1986, The Act, found at https://1986theact.com/
So what the government did then scares the then-president Ronald Reagan, -this is Tony Fauci and others, we’re not going to make your vaccine if you don’t remove all liability. ( Because they were losing the million and a billion-dollar lawsuit, just like we see recently with Roundup and Bobby Kennedy, winning that team, winning that lawsuit about Roundup causing cancer. That Glyphosate does indeed cause cancer, so we’ve seen it throughout my entire 40-year career.
And as I take it that God has a sense of humor. So I was showing me things, I saw it! I saw the level and the depth of corruption and how the government does the same thing every single time. , for instance, in the Thompson study, “MMR does not cause autism do not cause autism. Vaccines do not cause autism.” Del Bigtree of the ICAN network, through his FOIA requests against HHS in December of last year, 2019, he find the government, the judge said the CDC has to take off its websites their claim that Vaccines don’t cause autism because they could not produce one piece of data saying that. https://www.icandecide.org/ican_lawsuits/stipulated-order-proving-cdc-has-no-studies-to-support-claim-that-vaccines-given-in-first-6-months-of-life-do-not-cause-autism/
So isn’t it interesting that here we get the exercise to COVID-19 after Children’s Health Defense, Dell Bigtree, Andy Wakefield, Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, Dr. Suzanne Humphries, Dr. Brian hooker people who have spent decades to prove the corruption in the vaccine industry? And then this plague of disease we reported in our first book is really the result of a plague of corruption. So they (the powers behind the corruption) hit the detonate switch because now because people were waking up.
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
Yeah, that’s so scary. So we were, and I mean, with this Coronavirus, I’m curious, cause you always get to follow the money in some way. I mean, so there’s gotta be somebody that financially benefits. I mean, if this is something that is planned, then somebody has got to make money. And how so, how, how can people make money, on this type of epidemic? I mean, this tragedy.
Well, this is what Dr. David Martin Mikki brought in, and this is a brilliant man, dr. David Barton into the film. And again, I saw it that they made, everybody else saw it and I was blown away. I had had no idea, uh, and what dr. David Martin did. And he’s an expert in computers. His Ph.D. is in mathematics and the following day to leads. And what he showed us the patterns was the, was fact-checkers were that he followed the money trail back 30 years for quite a while.
So absolutely there’s a ton of money.
We can see that things like hydrocloroquin when a 17-year-old drug that is on a WHO list of essential medicine type one interferon where only 50 units, twice a day, sprayed in your nasal passages, the best natural vaccine against any of this. And yet we can’t use any of these. He shows how the FDA called natural medicine, alternative medicine. He just didn’t walk through the history and the data. It was just an amazing and brilliant individual wake up, everybody. He followed to millions, billions, if not trillions of dollars over the last 40 years. He’s captured the data on how they have literally done human experimentation on the most vulnerable of our societies. And now it’s the elderly and our children.
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
Yeah. I mean, it’s, it’s atrocious.
Going back to the patent. So it seems like there’s somebody that’s already, I mean if somebody owns the patent of the Coronavirus that can transfer that into the human beings? So if the coronavirus is a natural virus, now they’re the making this point and the movie, it was a natural virus. Then you can’t hold a patent on something that is natural. But if it’s a manipulated virus, which means that it’s something that is created, then you are breaking the law. It becomes like a weapon by a chemical, you know, warfare in a way. So, then that is illegal. So, but somehow they were able to own the patent on the coronavirus and its transfer.
And so, and then also all the testing of it and also the detection of it then treatment all of it, uh, own that as well. So obviously if you make this on a global scale, and a huge amount of money to make.
Dr. Mikovitis:
Correct, and didn’t get it. Didn’t Dr. Martin or make a brilliant description of exactly that you can’t have it both ways. Federal crimes had been committed either way. And so in the first movie, I said, it was accelerated evolution. I don’t use the term engineered, but clearly Fauci directed by way of millions of dollars funding. https://nypost.com/2020/04/29/dr-fauci-backed-controversial-wuhan-lab-studying-coronavirus/
These studies, the manufacturer and the manipulation and the accelerated evolution of these bad viruses and jumping them into human bypassing evolution of not dozens, but several hundreds of years. And that’s the whole idea that I said, that accelerated evolution. So if it’s not manufactured, if it’s natural, you can’t patent. And then clearly they’ve had. They walked through all of this in the movie, it was just brilliant.
Reached a world record for a live stream download on its premier. They were trying to take it down all the way through the film. It was fascinating.
Corona Virus – What You Should Know and Why you should NOT fear interview Brighteon video link
Dr. Karlfeldt: We achieved 40,000 to 50,000 views, you know before they too censored it and took it down. We have it uploaded on Brighteon however! You know Dr. Judy your mouth is very dangerous. According to the powers that be!
Dr. Judy Mikovitis: Yes! You are right and you know our book, Plague of Corruption which we finished right around November of 2009. It reads like a prophecy because the government knew it. We predicted this and, and we followed the data and how the corruption has really gone on for more than 30 years. That’s why our first book was called Plague. The first book of 2014, the very first day I met Brian Hooker and said, “Oh my God, now I understood. I had no idea it had to do with vaccines. I had no idea, you know, about William Thompson and the corruption and the CDC. I’m just, this boring cancer research scientist, a lab rat. I had no clue what I stepped in.
You know the acknowledgment of my book is to my mom. The way, she raised us -the worst crime you could possibly commit was seeing something wrong, evil, and doing nothing much that somebody else suffered. So it didn’t matter how afraid you were to step out there and stand in the street, knowing you were going to get killed. The punishment at home was worse. And my stepfather used to say, Judy’s mouth gets Judy’s body in trouble and her body is fine. It’s just, her mouth will not stop. So, 30 years later, I’m the most heavily censored scientist.
COVID 19 Risk Increases with FLU SHOTS
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
One point that I want to highlight a little bit more. You talking about the worst thing that an individual can do at this point is to get the flu vaccine. So why is that? I mean, wouldn’t that boost your immune system producing antibodies. So you’d be ready cause you think, I mean, they call it immunizations. You think that that’s going to boost your immune system. So wouldn’t that protect you more than,
Dr. Judy Mikovitis:
That is the thought of what was supposed to happen. That is the hypothesis. It’s a term called viral interference that if you give the flu shot that allows that immunity to spread and prevent other upper respiratory infections from being as bad. But in fact, in a paper published in 2020 or late 2019 by a Dr. Wollfe, done in a military, With such a large cohort of individuals who are usually mandated to get such a flu vaccine. Coronaviruses do exactly the opposite. In fact, if you were 36% more likely to get a Coronavirus infection and severe disease from that if you had been vaccinated with the influenza vaccine.
I talked about the influenza vaccine that was given in Italy and that particular flu virus vaccine was a new vaccine. It had four influenza viruses, including a very dangerous and deadly H1N1 attenuated. But importantly, the manufacturer of this was done in a dog’s kidney. Dogs have many many Coronaviruses. So that you pick up Coronaviruses and transmit them along with influenza viruses.
This is my hypothesis why in Italy, the, in part, the elderly died. They were given that flu vaccine in January of that year. Healthcare has been very bad in the hospital, so you’re, you’re close together and you’re shedding that flu virus from the vaccine for quite a while.
Mask Wearing whose Most at Risk?
This is why the thing I’m fearful when I walk into a grocery store and I see these lovely elderly people and they’re wearing masks standing in line to get their free flu vaccine. So they’re going to generate far more, virus through that I’m including Coronaviruses. They could die of an outright inflammatory cardiac event. They could have a heart attack within hours, simply because of that flu vaccine overwhelmed, they’re already compromised immune system while they wear that mask.
So what you are describing is a flu shot causing that cytokine storm. Which then kind of shuts down the transport of oxygen through the lung sacks. They’re not able to really move oxygen into the bloodstream. And then (allopathic doctors) put them on ventilators. Obviously, with a ventilator, you’re not able to move the oxygen you’re just kind of pushing oxygen into the lines. But if it can’t move from the lungs to the bloodstream, then you’re just going to destroy the lungs pretty much so. Yeah.
Correct. And that’s exactly what happens.
The others who are most at risk are the autistic kids. Autistic kids have the lowest levels of glutamine, natural intracellular antioxidants. Severely compromised type one interferon pathway. So that your type one interferon lines, your nasal pharyngeal cavities, in fact, it comes out in your, in your snot, you know, when you’re sick – if that’s your own interferon. So you’re depleting that with the mask. You are crippling, your very basic innate immune responses.
We are warning EVERYONE! Please don’t put a mask on an autistic kid because they can have seizures in their sleep and die. And absolutely don’t give these kids another vaccine for the same reason. They’re compromised immunologically in the same way the elderly are.
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
You’re making the point that it’s not just the moment that they have in the mask that they’re at risk. It actually creates a risk for a long period of time after.
Dr. Judy Mikovitis:
Correct. It sets in processes, the inflammatory signature, it elevates the levels of interleukin6TNF alpha, just those inflammatory cytokines that drive the disease.
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
The next step then is we’re looking at a vaccine that they are pushing through, uh, to kind of protect them against this, you know, Coronaviruses. COVID-19. I mean what are your thoughts about this vaccine? I mean, obviously there are so many red flags. I, I mean, I don’t even know how to count them all. What are your feelings about this?
Dr. Judy Mikovitis:
Well, I mean, obviously I’m like totally no all the time, and it’s not really my feelings. It’s the data that shows since the original SARS, severe acute respiratory syndrome virus, these vaccines have done more damage than good by mechanisms we only vaguely appreciate. One is called antibody-dependent, cellular cytotoxicity. So if you’ve had a previous exposure or infection, I think of who they’re calling the asymptomatic carriers, that healthy kids test positive.
They have an immune response. In those people, if you inject M R N A- M means messenger RNA. , You’re literally putting the blueprint of this dangerous virus into every cell of the body. It dysregulates every part of your epigenetic machinery. We make sure our gene expression is in homeostasis that our epigenetic machinery, um, for, for silencing these viruses and expressing various genes is intact. And in fact, the opposite is happening at many levels.
If we inject in a nanoparticle, that means there’s no gatekeeper, there’s no receptor. It goes into every cell of the body. And I just can’t imagine the level of damage it will kill as the early trials did. The animals developed severe neural inflammatory disease and death seizures, um, in the healthy trial. So they skipped the animal trials because a pandemic, it’s an emergency. So we’re going to work to speed, fast track, and to get you to safety and animals were clearly with SARS, the early end of that scene, the, and have done nothing other than damage and severe damage.
And for a virus that we now clearly know, it produces serious disease in only 0.3% of those infected. So 98.97% of the people infected are just falling. Why would we inject something that can stay in every cell of our body just causing long term damage of told, and probably unimaginable level for a fact. when this is when stars go to is less and COVID-19 is less than a normal influenza season, as far as pathogenesis disease-causing ability.
UPDATED CDC NUMBERS
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
Yeah. It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. A normal vaccine trial. I mean that, uh, I’m to develop the vaccine. It takes many years I think the fastest is around seven to 10 years.
Dr. Judy Mikovitis:
You know, there’s no testing, they roll a new toxic shot out every single year – for the flu vaccine. There isn’t any testing. This is what’s important. For normal biological drug discovery as I’ve been involved with for 40 years, it takes 10 to 20 years of safety studies before we put some of these immune modulators in cancer patients. And I think things like car T cell therapy for cancers, decades of study and the dangers are similar, and yet it’s all being ignored because it’s a blanket of corruption.
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
Now they are bringing out something that has never been done before the M RNA virus, I mean, that has never existed before. So we, I mean, it’s, it’s literally, we’re bringing in Pandora’s box and we have no idea what that’s going to do long term on a mass scale.
It’s going to be devastating. And so in, in our studies with the XMRV in 2011, that was 20 million Americans. If we think about AIDS patients, another 5 million people are infected with HIV in this country, or maybe more., we don’t even test anymore. As well as other primary and acquired, immune deficiencies from glyphosate toxicity, which also depletes your glutathione. So the first people who die will be those 25 million Americans they’ve already injured over the past three decades, including me.
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt:
I’m hearing people talking about the second wave. Bill Gates talking about the next pandemic. Talking about the second pandemic coming in October of 2020. I hear words about, like COVID20, that there’s a another type of COVID, uh, that is rolling out that impacts the gut more… do you have any information about that?
Dr. Judy Mikovitis:
Oh, sure. Because in that viro monkey kidney cell line where they took, they didn’t just pull this one magical virus out of all those bat tissues we’ve got done in recombine with the RVs, with mosquitoes. You see, you remember at the end of the movie though, that the care of unleashing another mosquito-like they did. So they’re gonna unleash mosquitoes on us in the fall and those contain recombinant viruses, even Coronaviruses, and retroviruses. And we know this because they did it in Zika – weaponized mosquitoes in Brazil in 2017.
We know there was a paper published in 2015. We know what a nightmare chronic Lyme disease is in our world, tick-borne diseases. Because it’s more than just bacteria. It’s, you know, it’s more than just viruses its bacteria.
2016 and cell host and micro published September 14th of 2016, and the title is a Multi-component Animal Virus, isolated from mosquitoes. So it showed an expansion in host range to include primate. It’s got a, it’s a mosquito virus, there’s multiple distinct particles required for infection Flaviviruses.
So they know, they know, they’re sure they can say with great confidence because they’ve got them all lined up because they’ve been doing this work since the early 2000 and 2003, 2005. Those are the publications where Tony Fauci funded this study to say, yeah, I dropped the clerk and worked to prevent all of these type one interferon. The interferon low, low, low dose, $60 a month can prevent and be a natural vaccine for any of these next wave of viruses coming out into our population.
But it lets your audience, or even you feel helpless about all of this, the two most important things that we can do right now to prevent seeing something else in October is take off the mask and don’t get another shot of any kind, no flu vaccine.
You, you saw what Nicky Willis said. He said, what they want you to do is take your eyes off the left hand. And you’re the magician and focused on what’s in the right hand. That’s how they get away with this slight and well right now to make us all fearful about the COVID-19 vaccine, they’re saying, get your flu vaccine. Now it’s the grocery stores free flu shot. It’s not free folks. It can cost you your life and that of your family.
So if we have the power in our hands, wake up, go back to integrative, natural product medicine, good supplements type glutathione, vitamin C, vitamin D in particular, out in the sunshine, um, take back our own health and responsibility for our health. And I guarantee you this country, not only won’t see the second way, but we’re going to see health and prosperity and happy people like we’ve never seen before.
There are 3 bills to be considered at the Special Session which begins Monday rumor has it that the committees are meeting to discuss all the bills on SUNDAY. The bills can be read at the bottom of the Governor’s proclamation.
WE NEED TO ACT NOW. The state didn’t mandate masks, rather, they had local cities and counties do it for them. It’s not hard to see that the same thing will happen with a vaccine. This Special Session of the Legislature beginning August 24th will provide cover to allow the government to enact such orders.
JOIN THE CITIZENS MARCH AGAINST GOVERNMENT IMMUNITY @ 7:30 a.m. Monday at the Capitol
Attend the Hearing for RS28049 10:30 A.M. Room EW42
RS28046 – the first bill attached at the bottom of the proclamation states. “An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby declared to exist, the act shall be in full force and effect on and after it’s passage and approval.” This bill makes it a LAW that an emergency exists but there is no end date for it.
Translated: This means the Governor or any other entity like a health department can use emergency powers whenever they want.
RS28049 is the last bill attached at the bottom of the Governor’s proclamation. It says that all businesses and persons will have immunity from liability for actions taken related to a “coronavirus-related pandemic or epidemic” as long as they make a “good faith effort to comply with a statute, rule, or lawful order of a government.”
Businesses that do not comply with every edict of government WILL HAVE LIABILITY. This is not about protecting small businesses, it is about compelling behavior of businesses.
Said another way, it is using society to control and exclude those who choose another path. Just as with the mask mandates, any government entity can “order” businesses to require proof of vaccination with a coronavirus vaccine in order to enter their business once the vaccine is available and there will be nothing we can do about it. And even if you are injured or killed by this brand new, experimental vaccine, you will be on your own. Interestingly, this bill will sunset July 1, 2023.
EMAIL NOW. Attend In-Person or Virtually Regarding RS28049
Per the Meeting Announcement: Limited public seating will be available in the committee room. Committee meetings will be live-streamed in designated overflow rooms throughout the Capitol.Please wear a mask and maintain physical distancing while in the Capitol.********************************************
HOUSE JUDICIARY, RULES & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE 10:30 A.M. Room EW42 Monday, August 24, 2020 There is a POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC TESTIMONY. *Limit your comments to 3 minutes.* Provide written copies for public record.
PLEASE EMAIL AND CALL OUR LOCAL LEGISLATORS AND EMAIL ALL IDAHO LEGISLATORS AND ASK THEM TO STOP THESE BILLS.
WE NEED AS MANY FOLKS AS POSSIBLE TO CALL AND EMAIL NOW!!!
TALKING POINTS – please write your own or choose from below:
1) Please oppose RS28049 which opens the door for businesses to require medical procedures to enter their premises. In the same way masks are now required, vaccination could be required, even though federal law recognizes vaccines injure and kill some recipients. 2) Please oppose RS28049 which will effectively do away with businesses that do not want to do the bidding of the government by exposing them alone to liability. 3) Please oppose RS28049 which is not about protecting businesses but compelling behavior of businesses, said another way, it is using society to control and exclude those who choose another path such as not wanting to inject a vaccine. 4) Please oppose RS28049 as a business that might require a vaccine to enter would have no liability for the damage that vaccine might cause nor would the vaccine makers which are protected under the Prep Act. Individuals will be left to fend for themselves if they suffer a catastrophic injury resulting in losing their job, excessive medical costs, and even loss of life. 20% of the formerly healthy individuals in the high dose group of the Moderna phase II trials had to be hospitalized and this vaccine will permanently alter the recipient’s DNA. 5) Please oppose RS28046 as the language of this bill is outrageous. No legislature may codify into law the existence of a state of emergency but this bill does exactly that by never providing an end date for said emergency.
6) Please support legislation that protects all businesses from liability for a customer contracting Covid in their establishment.
A mask lawsuit in Idaho is to be filed against the Panhandle Health District. The end result, if successful, would allow an otherwise free people to be able to make their own health decisions without fear of criminality.
“We care that our customers can get our milk and make choices in what they eat and how they live there lives. We trust our customers are like us – intelligent and responsible – and that they care for their neighbors as themselves. We trust them to make the right choices in regards to masking or not and think the choice should be theirs, and not the government’s.
We also do not think health boards should have the power to make otherwise law-abiding citizens suddenly criminals subject to misdemeanor charges with penalties including fines up to $1,000 and significant jail time.
Further, we care about law enforcement officers and the conundrum they are now put under with such mandates, including their own personal convictions on the subject, but now having to be put in the position of having to arrest otherwise good citizens of our counties.
We have therefore agreed to work as plaintiffs with two very liberty-minded attorneys in our area to file suit against appropriate parties seeking a temporary and permanent injunction against the mandates. “
Paul Herdon, Pleasant Meadow Dairy
Boyles Law and The MacPherson group are working together to represent several plaintiffs affected by the vague and irrational Panhandle Health District mask mandate issued on July 23, 2020. The Board of Directors for Panhandle Health District approved and issued a mandatory mask order for all persons in Kootenai County, presumably visitors, and residents. Therefore, there is now an active Kootenai County mask mandate.
Goal $25,000 for Expert Witnesses
Find out how this money will be accounted for (by a certified public accountant) and hear from Colton Boyles, one of the lawyers who has taken up the challenge to fight the mask mandate. The impact of a successful lawsuit will help preserve liberty for the ENTIRE state.
Update on Fundraiser for Mask Mandate Lawsuit to be filed Monday August 3
A WonderWe fundraiser has been established. They have asked all liberty-minded, freedom-loving Idahoans give to the cause. A $100 donation would be amazing from each and every person as we are going to need $25,000 to enter the fray. *They mention that ANY amount helps!
“We have personal convictions about government mandates and personal responsibility that favor personal responsibility and liberty over governmental mandates in every area of our lives, even public health.
Furthermore, we do not believe the science backs masks working as a deterrent to virion transmission, particularly cloth masks worn by the general populace without any personal protective equipment training, sanitation, and discipline.”
A message from Paul Herndon, Pleasant Meadow Creamery
They have created a post linking the various studies on the subject here:
Speaking of use of personal protective equipment, (PPE), we have documented evidence that not even the governor of Idaho, Brad Little, nor Anthony Fauci, the president’s advisor, properly observe exercise of sanitary PPE practices. These screen grabs are from just the last couple of days. The governor hands his mask off his ear, handles it with his fingers touching the inside of the mask, and just generally does not follow good PPE protocol.
Anthony Fauci, likewise, violates proper mask protocol. Here, he is hanging the mask below his chin having contaminated the mask with his hands, and now on his dirty and contaminated neck.
If these two guys can’t get it right, how is the general public supposed to?
The World Health Organization has produced two videos on proper mask etiquette/handling – one that is for surgical style masks, and the other for cloth masks. Note the surgical style are to be disposed of immediately after use, while the cloth ones require copious hand washing with alcohol based sanitizer even to touch the thing:
WHO Surgical Mask
WHO Cloth Masks
Centura Health did a very interesting video showing how easily your common person is going to contaminate their mask:
https://youtu.be/eVJbenwzR1s
Contaminating the Mask
Finally, we think you would find this video by Patrick Bet-David very interesting. He covers all of the above and just some common-sense practicality in regards to masking.
We care that our customers can get our milk and make choices in what they eat and how they live there lives. We trust our customers are like us – intelligent and responsible – and that they care for their neighbors as themselves. We trust them to make right choices in regards to masking or not and think the choice should be theirs, and not government’s.
We also do not think health boards should have the power to make otherwise law-abiding citizens suddenly criminals subject to misdemeanor charges with penalties including fines up to $1,000 and significant jail time.
Further, we care about law enforcement officers and the conundrum they are now put under with such mandates, including their own personal convictions on the subject, but now having to be put in the position of having to arrest otherwise good citizens of our counties.
We listened to the entire Panhandle Health Board hearing and we found the physician, nurse, and Kootenai Medical Center officers skewed the data and ramifications to sway the vote. The public was given little consideration, and the mandate was passed.
The mandate itself is vague and poorly written.
Lawsuit and Temporary Injunction
We have therefore agreed to work as plaintiffs with two very liberty minded attorneys in our area to file suit against appropriate parties seeking temporary and permanent injunction against the mandates. The end result, if successful, would allow an otherwise free people to be able to make their own health decisions without fear of criminality.
It will allow us to make our milk deliveries to Kootenai County without fear of criminality and prosecution, since we choose not to mask.
We respect your right to mask if that is what you want to do, and we do not have a negative view of that choice. It’s yours to make.
To enter this fight, and because the attorneys we will be retaining have already been busy in the whole COVID era, many times working pro bono, we want to be sure they can be compensated adequately to fight.
We are therefore establishing a WonderWe fundraiser and ask all liberty-minded, freedom-loving Idahoans give to the cause. A $100 donation would be amazing from each and every person as we are going to need $25,000 to enter the fray.
Our intent is to prepare a lawsuit this weekend with filing on Monday so we can get a hearing next week on the temporary order.
Won’t you please join us in the fight? To donate, please click this link:
Its been quite a week for the Southwest Public Health District. They attempted to hold a public meeting, without the public. Canceling meetings twice due to the turn out of individuals who wanted to attend, the Health District settled on hosting their public meeting at the courthouse to allow space for the people. They also provided public access with a live-streamed video and recorded the event for those in surrounding areas who were unable to attend in person.
Several weeks ago, neighboring Ada county’s health district implemented a mask mandate. Concerned local citizens of Canyon, Gem and Owyee realized that it was likely this would be on the agenda for Southwest Health District.
Several organizations reached out to their members to contact the county commissioners who sit on the health district board.
There were 1500 comments received by District Health more than half were against a mask mandate.
Thankfully the Commissioners voted AGAINST a mask mandate for Canyon, Payette, Owyee, Gem, Washington and Adams Counties.
This means that private business owners will not be burdened with enforcing a mask mandate under the threat of license removal. The police and city council in other counties have stated that A MASK MANDATE IS UNENFORCEABLE.
The evidence for masks (as explained below) cited by health authorities (supposedly our nation’s “experts”) is inadequate and does not justify forcing what could be considered a medical intervention on millions of healthy people. In even considering a sweeping mandate the burden of proof is on health and government officials to provide sufficient and conclusive (not anecdotal) evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that there are NO negative health effects (physical, mental, or emotional) associated with the implementation of mask policies. Please review all the citations given on the governor’s website from the CDC and Idaho Health & Welfare (https://coronavirus.idaho.gov/idaho-resources/) used to justify face coverings? Here is our summary.
CDC Citations –
The CDC provides a list of 19 citations. Citations 1-12 only discuss asymptomatic transmission and are not actually mask studies.
Citations 13 – 15 are the only studies that address cloth masks (see below). If the government is not going to provide a constant supply of surgical masks to the entire population, most people will opt for cloth masks due to affordability and availability. CDC encourages the general public to use cloth/home-made masks to preserve the surgical mask supply for healthcare workers. These 3 studies show some potential benefit to masks, but efficacy depends on proper use and fit (no gaps), the number of layers and type of fabric, and other measures used to reduce infection. A mandate will not be able to control these factors. Study #14 shows that filter efficiency was significantly reduced by gaps – this problem alone makes universal masking unrealistic and unsupported as a mandate. The general public is not fit-tested or trained on mask-wearing, they do not seal or tape masks to their skin, and do not live in a clinically controlled environment. Many of the materials in these studies were sealed around a tube, not tested on real people. Look around – you will rarely see a lay-person with a mask that does not have any gaps (not to mention those people who pull their mask down to sneeze!).
Citations 16 – 19 only address surgical mask material with no gaps, or a patient was instructed on proper use. It should be noted that not all viral RNA droplets/aerosols actually contained virus, and infectivity was not confirmed.
Citation 13 (author Davies): “…the homemade mask did not significantly reduce the number of particles emitted… In contrast, the surgical mask did have a significant effect.” “Although any material may provide a physical barrier to an infection, if as a mask it does not fit well around the nose and mouth, or the material freely allows infectious aerosols to pass through it, then it will be of no benefit.” “An improvised face mask should be viewed as the last possible alternative if a supply of commercial face masks is not available, irrespective of the disease against which it may be required for protection. Improvised homemade face masks may be used to help protect those who could potentially, for example, be at occupational risk from close or frequent contact with symptomatic patients. However, these masks would provide the wearers little protection from microorganisms from other persons who are infected with respiratory diseases. As a result, we would not recommend the use of homemade face masks as a method of reducing transmission of infection from aerosols.”
Citation 14 (author Konda): This is the only study that tested mask materials with and without gaps. Surgical masks and multi-layered fabrics had some filter efficiency, however, “Whereas the surgical mask provides moderate (>60%) and excellent (close to 100%) particle exclusion below and above 300 nm, respectively, the tests carried out with the 1% opening surprisingly resulted in significant drops in the mask efficiencies across the entire size range (60% drop in the >300 nm range).” For example, the 1 layer 80 TPI quilter’s cotton (which is stated as often used in DIY masks) as shown on Table 1 only has a 9% filter efficiency, even without a gap. A surgical mask with any gap only has a 50% filter efficiency. “Our findings indicate that leakages around the mask area can degrade efficiencies by ∼50% or more, pointing out the importance of “fit”. “It is critically important that cloth mask designs also take into account the quality of this “fit” to minimize leakage of air between the mask and the contours of the face, while still allowing the exhaled air to be vented effectively.”
Citation 15 (author Aydin): This study showed some benefit to cloth masks (1-layer T-shirt had a 43.3% blocking efficiency) but tested only droplet dissemination (not aerosolized particles), and only tested the materials without any gaps.
Idaho Department of H&W Citations –
Reference numbers 3 – 7 and 9 are duplicate citations from the CDC list. Reference #8 is the CDC article that provides the link to their mask references. Reference #10 is a short article with no mask information.
Reference #1 is an article written by doctors that actually questions the benefits of masks and has no mask data. “We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection…. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.” “What is clear, however, is that universal masking alone is not a panacea. A mask will not protect providers caring for a patient with active Covid-19 if it’s not accompanied by meticulous hand hygiene, eye protection, gloves, and a gown. A mask alone will not prevent health care workers with early Covid-19 from contaminating their hands and spreading the virus to patients and colleagues. Focusing on universal masking alone may, paradoxically, lead to more transmission of Covid-19 if it diverts attention from implementing more fundamental infection control measures.” “One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask, particularly in light of the worldwide mask shortage, but it is difficult to get clinicians to hear this message in the heat of the current crisis.”
Reference #2 concluded that “Results obtained in the study show that common fabric materials may provide marginal protection against nanoparticles including those in the size ranges of virus-containing particles in exhaled breath.” “…fabric materials show only marginal filtration performance against virus-size particles when sealed around the edges. Face seal leakage will further decrease the respiratory protection offered by fabric materials.” This study did not measure face seal leakage.
Other studies and citations questioning masks:
“We do not recommend requiring the general public who do not have symptoms of COVID-19-like illness to routinely wear cloth or surgical masks because: There is no scientific evidence they are effective in reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission… Sweeping mask recommendations—as many have proposed—will not reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission, as evidenced by the widespread practice of wearing such masks in Hubei province, China, before and during its mass COVID-19 transmission experience earlier this year. Our review of relevant studies indicates that cloth masks will be ineffective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, whether worn as source control or as PPE.” “In sum, given the paucity of information about their performance as source control in real-world settings, along with the extremely low efficiency of cloth masks as filters and their poor fit, there is no evidence to support their use by the public or healthcare workers to control the emission of particles from the wearer.” COMMENTARY: Masks-for-all for COVID-19 not based on sound data, https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/04/commentary-masks-all-covid-19-not-based-sound-data
“Laboratory tests showed the penetration of particles through the cloth masks to be very high (97%) compared with the medical masks (44%).” “We have provided the first clinical efficacy data of cloth masks, which suggest HCWs should not use cloth masks as protection against respiratory infection. Cloth masks resulted in significantly higher rates of infection than medical masks, and also performed worse than the control arm”. “A cluster randomized trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers”, https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjopen/5/4/e006577.full.pdf
“None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection. Some evidence suggests that mask use is best undertaken as part of a package of personal protection especially hand hygiene.” (bin-Reza F et al. The use of mask and respirators to prevent transmission of influenza: A systematic review of the scientific evidence. Resp Viruses 2012;6(4):257-67. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5779801/)
“….homemade masks are not considered PPE, since their capability to protect HCP is unknown. Caution should be exercised when considering this option. Homemade masks should ideally be used in combination with a face shield that covers the entire front (that extends to the chin or below) and sides of the face.” https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/ppe-strategy/face-masks.html
Potential health risks voiced by doctors and other professionals:
Possible increased risk of infection (inhaling trapped virus, bacteria, and other toxins you would normally be exhaling?): “The rates of all infection outcomes were highest in the cloth mask arm, with the rate of ILI (influenza-like illness) significantly higher in the cloth mask arm compared with the medical mask arm.” (the cloth masks were 2-layer cotton) “Adverse events associated with facemask use were reported in 40.4% of HCWs in the medical mask arm and 42.6% in the cloth mask arm. General discomfort and breathing problems were the most frequently reported adverse events.” “The physical properties of a cloth mask, reuse, the frequency and effectiveness of cleaning, and increased moisture retention, may potentially increase the infection risk for HCWs. The virus may survive on the surface of the facemasks, and modelling studies have quantified the contamination levels of masks. Self-contamination through repeated use and improper doffing is possible….Observations during SARS suggested double-masking and other practices increased the risk of infection because of moisture, liquid diffusion and pathogen retention. These effects may be associated with cloth masks.”

Have you considered these questions/potential problems should you implement a mask mandate?
What about people who cannot breathe well in the masks, including those who do not have a respiratory medical condition (i.e. anxiety symptoms caused by oxygen deprivation)? Would they require a “doctor’s note”? How would you regulate this? Businesses (i.e. grocery stores) in California are refusing service to un-masked patrons even if they have a doctor’s note. Is this illegal discrimination? Does this violate HIPPA regulations?
Will you be providing a mask supply to businesses? (many of which are already struggling financially). What about the stress caused to employees who must face potential violence from angry citizens who disagree with a mask mandate? Can police services handle these extra calls and are you willing to place this burden on law enforcement agencies? Are you prepared to fine or jail citizens and businesses, already stressed and financially burdened by consequences of the lockdown? Is a universal mask mandate based on flimsy scientific evidence worth the trouble that it may cause? Could it exacerbate the economic depression?
What about potential infection via the eyes? Lack of eye protection eliminates any benefit a mask would provide.
Please recall that as of just recently the CDC, WHO, and US Surgeon General did NOT recommend masks for the general public (healthy people) outside of healthcare facilities.
In addition, the American Medical Association states that “Face masks should be used only by individuals who have symptoms of respiratory infection such as coughing, sneezing, or, in some cases, fever. Face masks should also be worn by health care workers, by individuals who are taking care of or are in close contact with people who have respiratory infections, or otherwise as directed by a doctor. Face masks should not be worn by healthy individuals to protect themselves from acquiring respiratory infection because there is no evidence to suggest that face masks worn by healthy individuals are effective in preventing people from becoming ill. Face masks should be reserved for those who need them because masks can be in short supply during periods of widespread respiratory infection. Because N95 respirators require special fit testing, they are not recommended for use by the general public.” https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2762694
Have you found studies that measure the long-term health risks of masks for both adults and children? Could the intervention be worse than the illness itself? Is it legal and ethical to mandate an intervention for children that could potentially affect their health, where the child’s parents or legal guardians alone have the right to make these decisions for them?
Could you consider a less intrusive mandate based on more on conclusive scientific evidence, i.e. face mask mandate in public only for those who are sick/vulnerable, or requiring hand sanitizing at business entrances.
We agree with common sense science-based measures encouraged for any type of viral illness i.e. handwashing and staying home when sick, but it seems much of the nation is reacting based on hysteria, emotion, and fear. For this virus, the focus should not be on the number of cases sensationalized in the media (since many people are asymptomatic and most recover without medical intervention, there are problems with testing i.e. false positives, and there is evidence of data fraud) but on COVID-caused hospitalization and death rates.
The world population has been living with several types of coronaviruses (and millions of other kinds of viruses and bacteria) for decades, and current science is still making discoveries about the complex and amazing nature of our God-given immune system. Our society will adjust to this new virus as the population achieves natural herd immunity.
We are certainly not going to support authoritarian rule and the destruction of the economy, community, and our personal freedoms, based on a current 0.26% CDC estimated COVID mortality rate. Mandating face masks and lockdowns (never enacted before in recent history for any other virus) is an over-reaction unwarranted for this virus. Illness is part of life. Instead of fear-based reactions, public health efforts should focus on protecting vulnerable populations (i.e. nursing homes) and educating medical practitioners and the general public on COVID treatment remedies and how to strengthen and support the immune system.
I have to say, as the meeting went on I became quite unimpressed. In fact, it sounded like I was listening to high schoolers.
Most surprisingly, when the topic turned to masks, the board didn’t ask for any hard data on their efficacy.
Let me explain.
During the meeting. Jim Sousa, Chief Medical Officer of St. Luke’s Heath Care System, was one of the guests on hand to give information and answer questions.
Sousa said it was important we do something, because earlier in the year, their hospital in Idaho’s Blaine County had to shut down because half the staff went out sick and under quarantine with Covid, and it looked like Covid cases in Ada County (home of Boise / the State Capitol) might resemble what happened in Blaine County.
Sousa then gave anecdotal evidence as he advocated for masks.
For example, he told a story about a couple of hairdressers in a southern state who had COVID, but because they wore masks, none of their clients became infected.
At that point, the question I wanted to ask was, “If masks work that well, why didn’t they prevent the hospital staff in Blaine County from catching Covid?” But it was a virtual meeting and there was no opportunity for questions.
Souza also stated that none of the recent spike in Covid cases came from the George Floyd protests, “because from what I saw, over half of the protesters were wearing masks.”
How’s THAT for science?
I should point out that this is the same Jim Souza who wrote an op-ed that appeared earlier this year in many Idaho papers, informing us that the virus “lies in wait. It likes crowds. It picks on the vulnerable. It waits for us to lose our focus. And then it moves in,” as if the virus were sentient.
No evaluation of the pros and cons
Amazingly, NONE of the CDH board members asked ANY tough questions of the hospital representatives on hand.
And like I said, no hard science on masks was presented. One would expect a board of this stature – making a decision that will impact 500,000+ people – to demand (& evaluate) hard data on the PROS & CONS of wearing masks.
Nope. Nothing.
Also, during his time speaking to the CDH board, Souza said that treatment for Covid in Idaho hasn’t changed much. He listed all the drugs & treatments being used, and NEVER ONCE mentioned hydroxycholoroquine, zinc, or azithromycin. The HCQ/zinc/azithromycin treatment, also known as the #ZelenkoProtocol, has been proven to clear Covid symptoms in people within 8 – 12 hours of starting the protocol.
This begs a deadly serious question. WHY are Idaho’s doctors NOT using the Zelenko Protocol? Do they still think “orange man bad?” Do they not realize that all the articles slamming HCQ as dangerous have been proven wrong & that multiple studies have shown HCQ to be safe & effective for treating Covid?
If Idaho’s doctors are letting Covid patients die without putting them on the #ZelenkoProtocol, and if our Central District Health board isn’t recommending that Idaho’s doctors look into the Zelenko Protocol, then both the doctors and the CDH board have blood on their hands.
Could it be that these hospitals would rather admit a Covid patient and collect large sums of cash for doing so instead of prescribing a valid, $20 treatment?
They will no doubt vehemently deny any such motivation, but the way Idaho’s government went all Jekyll-Hyde since $1.25 billion came our way in March / April, I have serious questions.
So what’s the next step?
The CDH board voted for CDH Director Russ Duke to draft a Mandatory Mask recommendation for Ada County, and possibly Valley County.
Yes, Idaho’s Central District Health board plans on making facemasks mandatory in Ada County, Idaho because a chief medical officer gave anecdotal stories yet had ZERO hard evidence for mask efficacy.
The Board didn’t examine any other evidence at the board meeting. None. Zip. Ziltch. Nada.
It really was like listening to high schoolers. There were so many holes in Souza’s talking points, a high school debate coach would have laughed him out of the room. And the fact that the board didn’t seek to weigh evidence from both sides of the issue was equally laughable if it weren’t so sad.
It was obvious most of the CDH board had already made up their mind to vote for mandatory masks, evidence be damned. Without waiting for the board to discuss or make a motion, CDH Director Russ Duke eagerly said he would write up a mandatory mask rule if the board wanted it.
Almost immediately after him saying that, board member District 1 Ada County Commissioner Diana Lachiondo gushed over the fact that Duke spent so much time on the phone with her this past week. At that point, it became quite apparent that this meeting was merely a formality to invoke a decision they had already reached.
Only one board member, Representative Megan Blanksma, seemed to want more consideration of facts. Thankfully, when it became obvious the board was getting carried away and about to make a decision on a far-reaching mandate concerning schools, Blanksma wisely jumped in to curtail it.
CDH Board Faux Pas
As a side note, earlier in the meeting the board went offline for a while to confer with legal counsel in executive session, because last week’s private board meeting (when they first voted to take Ada County back to Level 3) was in violation of the state’s open meeting law. As a result, when they came out of executive session, the board voided the minutes of their last meeting!
Of course, then they had to vote again to put Ada County back into Stage 3, but in so doing they also added the rule that no meetings of more than 50 people would be allowed. So much for church services!
And I think there was less than 60 seconds of discussion on this issue.
To wrap up their meeting, the CDH board voted to instruct CDH Director Russ Duke to draft an order that all of Ada County, Idaho MUST wear masks when in public and in enclosed places. No timeline was discussed for how long that might last, and board member Ted Epperly included plenty of undefined terms in his motion. And they will include masks for children, too, because even though their infection rate is phenomenally low, Souza thought it would be a good idea.
Bottom line, the board came off looking like a rubber stamp for whatever Jim Souza recommended.
It would be good to get the CDH board to CONSIDER ACTUAL SCIENCE at their next meeting. Maybe – JUST MAYBE – Idaho’s CDH will act like professionals & carefully consider both pro and con evidence before deciding any rule that will affect 500,000+ Idahoans.
Treat Our Covid Patients Better!
Idaho also needs to stop the politics and get our Covid patients treated with the Zelenko Protocol. There is rarely a reason for people to be hospitalized for Covid if they begin the Zelenko Protocol within five days of symptom onset. And with that, the hospitals would NOT be dealing with Covid patients, and there would be no need to consider mandatory masks.
Per the peer-reviewed research, there’s no need to wait for a test result to start the Zelenko Protocol, just prescribe the protocol on clinical suspicion. If our Idaho doctors and our CDH board cannot fathom that this protocol works, then we need more open-minded doctors and a better-informed Central District Health board.
As it stands, this board meeting was unimpressive. We’ve had enough knee-jerk decisions the past four months. I hope to see more professionalism and a more balanced examination of facts at their next meeting.
Health Freedom Idaho wants to thank author Daniel Bobinski for allowing us to share his report of the virtual meeting by the Central Health Department
Health Freedom Idaho encourages readers to TAKE ACTION.
Start by EMAILING your Mayor and those of your surrounding cities. The Health Departments have failed to consider the lack of safety and effectiveness of paper masks, bandanas, and face coverings as protection from a virus. Tell them you do not want them to mandate masks allowing each citizen their own body autonomy and the freedom to maintain their personal responsibility when it comes to health. Here are some resources to review and share: https://hfi.designbyparrish.com/mask-mandates
