Most of us simply want the truth, the honest facts.

People are looking for answers to their questions regarding COVID, man-made mRNA biological injectables, climate change, inflation, debt, regulatory over-reach and the whole nine yards of censored fabric that gets laid down as domesticated truth.

We intuitively know that our world is filled with trade-offs and we weigh them in making our own decisions. We try to avoid any absurd rules, unnecessary obstacles, and purposely unclear and contradictory mandates. Most of which, in turn, motivates us toward silly workarounds based on the illiberal rules, obfuscations and obstacles that are laid down in our respective pathways.

It is an endless circle. However, legitimate breakthroughs do occur.

Take for example, the recent advances that Senator Thatcher and I, along with Dr. Henry Ealy, obtained with our petition to the United States District Court for the District of Oregon – Portland Division. As many are aware, we petitioned for a Grand Jury investigation with regard to potential willful misconduct and criminal negligence by key-players within the overgrown federal public health bureaucracy.

Watch our lively interview to get a 30 min. crash course on every citizen’s right to petition for a Grand Jury investigation as well as a current update on our petition’s status:  https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/shows/an-informed-life-radio/jfvEE-LtwY

Nearly five months ago we served subpoenas to five defendants:

• ROBERT REDFIELD, former Director of the US Center for Disease Control, in his individual capacity.
• ROCHELLE WALENSKY, in her individual capacity and in her official capacity as Director for the US Center for Disease Control.
• ALEX AZAR, former Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, in his individual capacity.
• XAVIER BECERRA, in his individual capacity and in his official capacity as Director of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
• BRIAN MOYER, in his individual capacity and in his official capacity as Director of the National Center for Health Statistics.

These five defendants asked for a 60-day extension so that they could develop a defensive strategy or allow time for serving a responsive pleading or motion. In other words, they wanted to detail their reasons on why a full-scale investigation into the wholesale violation of federal law would be unwarranted; or, why data transparency was shunned; or, why their offices distorted the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information disseminated by the federal agencies under their lead.

Following the 60-day extension, they asked for a second 60-day extension. The court granted the Defendants’ motion for an extension to answer or otherwise respond to our Petition, setting the final date as August 26, 2022.

Well, August 26th came and went with no response. So, as Plaintiffs, we filed a request that the clerk enter default for each Defendant.

Needless to say, that got a response!

But then, their attorney drove their snake-oil defense wagon right off the main road and into the ditch. Their claim for their tardy response (after having 120 days to work on it) became, “I experienced a medical emergency involving my dog, and was required to take her to the vet and attend to the emergency which took the entirety of the day and most of the following day as well.”

Now, a kid might try to claim that his dog at his homework, but no self-respecting sci-fi editor would allow something this outlandish past his desk when trying to make a story about integrity and transparency sound believable. But the attorney for the USA Oregon District did just that!

Enough is Enough.  Join with us in combating government incompetence and malfeasance – Text “CDC data” to 52886.

Sen. Kim Thatcher and I appreciate your support and we need your help as we push to help people exercise their right to petition and hold bad-actors accountable for negligence and wrong-doing.

You can also visit BeyondtheCon.com to read our entire Grand Jury petition along with informational handouts about the Grand Jury process and our Peer Reviewed report on timeframes and actions which violated federal law.

The formal request for a Grand Jury Investigation was brought forth on behalf of more than 62,200 Americans—including thousands of Oregonians—who signed a public petition gathered by Stand for Health Freedom.

Our joint petition for a federal grand jury investigation calls for multi-pronged investigations into both the CDC and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). We included eight exhibits and 20 additional evidentiary-material supplements which illustrate the clear need for formal investigations regarding willful misconduct.

In March 2020, according to a paper published in the journal Science, Public Health Policy, and The Law, the CDC abruptly changed how death certificates were recorded for only one type of death—COVID-19—and circumvented multiple federal laws to do so. This hyperinflation of death certificate reporting kicked off an avalanche of data degradation and destructive public health policies.

There are many co-mingled scientific, legal and public policy issues, that have contributed to the national COVID crises currently being bungled by the CDC. For example, Dr. Henry Ealy, and his team of researchers authored two peer reviewed papers that document explicit violations of the Information Quality Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act. (“COVID-19 Data Collection, Comorbidity & Federal Law: A Historical Retrospective” and “COVID-19: Restoring Public Trust During A Global Health Crisis.”) Ealy’s team identified significant instances of federal law violations by the CDC and acts of willful misconduct by the FDA. His findings were thoroughly vetted through nine attorneys and one judge as well as stringent peer-review process prior to being publicly released.

Our request, submitted one month ago, was addressed to the Honorable Scott E. Asphaug, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, stated:

“What we have learned is worthy of independent State and/or Special Federal Grand Jury Investigation from our vantage point as elected state policy makers. Pursuant to 18 U.S. Code § 3332 – Powers and Duties and the case law cited within the Formal Grand Jury Petition, we respectfully request that the petition and preliminary supportive documentation be presented to the members of the grand jury we are petitioning for immediate deliberation. Public trust in elected officials, the Oregon Health Authority, and our ability to lead the resilient people of Oregon through this crisis has been eroded to an all-time low. The peoples’ trust in their ability to participate in their own governance and be heard by their elected officials is perhaps the most essential element for a thriving free and healthy society.

As elected officials it is our sworn duty to uphold the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of Oregon, the tenets of Informed Consent, and honor our legal obligation to comply with 18 U.S. Code § 4 – Misprision of felony. We are fulfilling our duty by calling for a Special Federal Grand Jury Investigation, or at the very least an independent state district-led grand jury investigation convened by a judge, into the issues and evidentiary materials presented.”

The unprecedented deviations from the longstanding rules for managing seasonal viral outbreaks and wintertime Influenza-Like Illnesses (ILI) combined with numerous revelations concerning federal violations and data inaccuracies led us to this formal request. The American public deserves accountability from the CDC and FDA regarding COVID-19, especially, with the Biden administration’s latest mandatory vaccine requirements.

Twenty months after,  “two weeks to flatten the curve,” Americans deserve some answers.

• Why did the CDC propagate rule changes without following IQA guidelines?
• Why did the CDC change methods for completing Death Certificates (DC) ?
• Why are “presumptive” cases counted as COVID-19?
• Why are severe co-morbidities purposefully excluded on DCs?
• Why has the CDC propagated rt-PCR tests without Ct guidelines?
• How much economic harm has been forced on the public?
• Why?

Stand for Health Freedom released this pre-recorded press briefing as an exclusive interview to avoid the same drastic censorship faced following a cyber attack during a national online event covering this topic earlier this year.

It’s not too late for you to add your name to the growing list of signatures calling for an investigation into the CDC and FDA. It’s more important than ever, on the heels of the White House calling for illegal, unnecessary and unethical medical mandates across the U.S. Join more than 62,200 Americans by signing the official online petition or text the word CDCdata to the number 50457 to create leverage with your voice to call for a formal investigation into violations of federal law that caused hyperinflation of counted COVID cases, hospitalizations, and recorded deaths. This willful misconduct by agencies charged with guarding public health paved the way for massive collateral damage and destruction in America and beyond.

Our aim is also to help replicate this grand jury effort as a template with leaders across other counties and states. We need to hold public health agencies accountable to ensure data integrity for national health policies is reliable and does not inflict greater harm than good on our nation.

Gov. Brown’s vaccine and mask mandates are not about public health, Covid, or a reasoned public response to formidable health issues. Today, the issue has moved from health to control and Covid is the excuse with masks, testing, tracking, vaccines, and fear, as the tools.

As individuals we realize that informed consent rightly belongs to each of us, as individuals and parents. After all, our health, our children and the health of our children is our responsibility, not the government’s. This is why the choice of wearing a mask or receiving a vaccine belongs to the individual, not the public official.

If the above statements are true, then Governor Brown’s new vaccine requirements are pure over-reach. The latest mandates for teachers, volunteers, state employees in public safety, correctional, and health care settings along with ongoing school-opening decrees run contrary to a bulwark of laws establishing precedents for protecting an individual’s right of refusal and full, informed consent.

This should be the end of the discussion.

I shouldn’t have to point to the mountains of evidence regarding a causal relationship between masks and dangerous reductions in blood oxygenation (hypoxia) or elevations in blood C02 (hypercapnia). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released a comprehensive study that underscores why mandating masks is a scientifically indefensible.

Additionally, it is unlawful to deny someone their job or education because they choose not to engage in an unapproved medical procedure. People have a right to receive, or refuse, medical care and one-size-fits-all medicine should never be mandated. In particular, 21 U.S. Code Sec.360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III), “authorization for medical products for use in emergencies,” exists to protect a patient’s right to simply say, “No.”

However, people will always make excuses for over-reach.

They will claim there is a danger to others and that allowing freedom for one individual will harm others. Yet, this is the same siren-song that created blanket-excuses justifying misguided population management decisions which litter world history.

Clearly things are happening today that no one could have imagined. Who could have imagined, in 2021, that …

• Math would be considered racist, or,
• The Declaration of Independence would not be a document of freedom, or,
• Male and Female would be labeled as constructs for oppression, or,
• Rioters who assault police were just ‘peaceful protestors,’ or,
• Schools would no longer require student proficiency, or,
• SARS-Cov-2, one of many coronaviruses, would be used as a political tool?

The fastest “vaccine approval” in US history is another unimagined anomaly. The CDC has moved into unchartered territory on a “licensed” vaccine designation for a different product known as, Comirnaty, which is currently unavailable.

The FDA decreed that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine would remain unlicensed under the EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) but could be used “interchangeably” (page 2, footnote 8) with the newly licensed Comirnaty product. As a side-note, the FDA pointed out that the Comirnaty vaccine and the existing, EUA Pfizer vaccine are “legally distinct.” Therefore, it appears that the Pfizer vaccine is still unapproved for licensure.

This slight-of-hand, that was once unimaginable is now our reality.

The biggest lie associated with the current COVID-19 fiasco is the notion that people can spread SARS-Cov-2 asymptomatically. This is not a modern scientific phrase for how a virus or bacterium might be transmitted. Rather, it is a wholly post-modern, irrational, emotionally based, and ideological construct for arranging public policy in alignment with totalitarian tendencies.

The secular state can use technology, along with its regulatory power and financial muscle to blanket the entire economy with oppressive rules that harm businesses, individuals, and their livelihoods. In so doing, the state reflexively spits upon our constitution and thus, our individual codified rights as expressed in our nation’s most relevant documents. State regulators and bureaucrats needlessly extend themselves into all dimensions of private life, which is done with religious zealotry in strict adherence to this post-modern ideology.

However, today, the data is in, and we know better. Thanks to clinical science, logic, quantitative analysis and the qualitative features associated with an enormous array of datum accumulated in the largest clinical study ever performed on planet Earth, researchers have determined that the spread of SARS-Cov-2 from asymptomatic carriers is essentially nil.

A clinical study with 9,898,828 enrolled participants concluded that only 0.00029% were in fact, asymptomatic carriers.

Yet, the mantra of “asymptomatic spread” continues. It is what allows police officers to tackle, handcuff and mask a woman walking her dog in the park, regardless of whether she was following the CDC’s recommendation for those suffering from respiratory illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or not. It is also what forces day-care workers to demand parents mask their children and stifle their three-year-old’s ability to understand facial expressions which constrains the development of their child’s non-verbal communication sensory skills.

Additionally, it is the background construct that forces high-school coaches to demand that students engaged in strenuous outdoor athletic activities compete wearing masks. This has led to numerous documented occurrences where students suffered dangerous reductions in blood oxygenation and unhealthy elevations in levels of carbon-dioxide. In Oregon, two young female athletes (Maggie Williams and Savannah Lay) suffered unconsciousness and collapse due wearing masks during competition.

The notion that a person, without symptoms, who is not sick, has no temperature, and has no other manifestations of COVID-19 must wear a mask to “protect others” is the lynchpin that holds all of these mandates together.

The above table contrasts two important studies, 1) Green Column with 10 million enrolled participants and, 2) Red Column with zero enrolled participants. The CDC used the data in Red Column to formulate their policy positions which have been strictly adhered to by Democrat Governors, but not by their Republican counterparts.

The US Projection Study used by the CDC for developing guidelines is without any credibility. First, it was not peer-reviewed. Second, it had no (zero) enrolled participants. Third, study researchers never engaged in any form of scientific or quantitative analysis. It is nothing more than a purely hypothetical and assumption-riddled mathematical model that has been used to implement tragic shutdowns all over the world.

The CDC’s conclusion that, “SARS-CoV-2 spread faster than SARS-CoV, and accumulating evidence showed that SARS-CoV-2, unlike SARS-CoV, is transmitted from persons without symptoms,” appears completely fabricated. Yet, this fallacious statement has been mindlessly parroted through the highest echelons of academia, government and media without any scientific evidence and is without any credibility.

Further, the research manuscript used by the CDC, admitted that “No statistical testing was conducted, so no prespecified level of significance was set.” To admit that the results lack quantitative precision and then pull a claim like, “59% of all transmissions were asymptomatic,” like the rabbit from the Magician’s Silk-Top-Hat is entirely dishonest and is the definition of “willful misconduct.”

The propaganda and sophistry used by the CDC is repugnant to every principle of sound policy, humanity, justice, and the natural rights of humankind. For OHA (Oregon Health Authority) or CDC to use this model to develop public health policy for COVID-19 invites misuse, promotes inaccurate policy assumptions, and leads to long-term public health distrust and peripheral damage.

Workforce and higher education admission vaccine requirements currently provide grace periods until October 18, 2021, for compliance. This provides a short timeframe to sort through the options.

The SARS-Cov-2 virus, unlike other seasonal flu viruses, is suffering from enormous media hype. It is the only global “super-killer” that never was. Hyped by government tyrants, public health aficionados, social and main-stream media outlets, as a “super killer”, fear is being used to control and manipulate populations across the globe.

Once freedom is surrendered to the ruling authorities it is rarely regained because there is always something else to regulate. Another rule, another safety measure, another regulation, another law, another license and another agency to enforce compliance. The terrible dynamic spilling from centralized control is one of unquenchable bureaucracy. John Adams, in a letter to his wife, Abigail Adams (July 7, 1775), writes,

“A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”

Václav Havel, the first president of the Czech Republic after the dissolution of communist Czechoslovakia, notes the same dynamic in his book,The Power of the Powerless, published illegally in Czechoslovakia (and Poland) in late 1978. Havel observes that most people, when living under a lie, know that they are living under a false construct but obey simply to avoid trouble. We can see this in our current environment, where masks dangle on wrists or from ears, like precious talisman or lucky charm. Today there is observable flippancy toward all of the former “requirements” about the constant sanitizing of shopping cart handles, countertops, and plexiglass barriers. No one minds because they know there is little danger from living a normal life.

Havel notes this too, “individuals need not believe all these mystifications, but they must behave as though they did, or they must at least tolerate them in silence, or get along well with those who work with them.”

The violence and riotous uprisings over the US Supreme Court’s most recent opinions illustrates a troubling misunderstanding with regard to constitutional precedence, lawful authority and freedom. Our U.S. Constitution exists to limit power. It does not exist in order to organize the usurpation, or concentration, of power. The Constitution exists to distribute power; it does not exist to accumulate or consolidate power. Self-government of the respective States and their supremacy over the Federal government is the Rubicon of Jeffersonian republicanism.

The recent DOBBS v. JACKSON WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATION, Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) opinion, is a perfect example of returning to local control under Federalism. The opinion clarifies,

“Our decision returns the issue of abortion to [state] legislative bodies, and it allows women on both sides of the abortion issue to seek to affect the legislative process by influencing public opinion, lobbying legislators, voting, and running for office.”

This fits nicely with the Jeffersonian view, “It is not by the consolidation, or concentration, of powers, but by their distribution, that good government is effected.”

Yet, the Democrat majority, in Oregon and other states, found themselves whipping up frenzied outrage at the SCOTUS opinion. This move is uncannily similar to the days of 1776, when a British observer in London wrote,

“Ministerial Hacks were immediately set to work to fabricate Lies (and publish them in the Newspaper) to delude and deceive the Electors; that little or no Opposition might be made to the Tools of Government. By these low Artifices and ministerial Lies, the People of England were lulled into a State of Supineness, and even made to lend a helping Hand to complete their OWN RUIN.”

To illustrate let me present several examples of Oregon Democrats trying to stoke and fuel outrage. Shown below are several contradictory statements, starting with an outrageous claim followed by a more accurate statement. No doubt this style was used in the hopes that people won’t read past the headline or first paragraph. Each pair of these samples come from separate Democrat Press Releases, (emphasis added.)

So, which is it? Does this SCOTUS opinion strip power from Oregon, or not? Was the violence during the recent Night of Rage appropriate? Is this outrage about women’s reproductive health, or something else – like a bigger culture war? Can the leftist-Democrats or any post-modern supreme court justices even define the word ‘woman’?

What values will be imparted to our children and grandchildren if our warranted fear of the “cancel culture mob” and their violent reactions force Oregonians, who still cherish traditional Judeo/Christian values, to be bullied into silence, or self-censorship?

Electoral integrity is paramount because our federal constitution leaves most decisions in the hands of the people and their local state governments. The SCOTUS opinion stresses that local citizens should, “seek to affect the legislative process by influencing public opinion, lobbying legislators, voting, and running for office.” Each of us has a right to direct our own futures at the local level.

Per the Bill of Rights, or the first ten amendments to the Constitution, we read:

•    Amendment No. 9  –  The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

•    Amendment No. 10  –  The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

We should not focus on federal rule, brute force, or even, majority rule, other than with regard to a restraint on government. We ought to think about our freedom, our lives, our liberty and each of us seeking our own just pursuits. This is the stunningly clear focus of our founding document – “The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.”

Our constitutional perspective ought to be about the preservation of our human and inalienable rights as codified in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. Period.

In a draft for the Kentucky Resolutions (1798), Jefferson wrote,

“It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights… Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. …
“Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence may go… In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

Unfortunately, Oregonians have been living under a legislative body that has a distorted vision of what the rule of law is supposed to be. In their zeal to control they have pushed our state further into an anti-science, irrational and illogical world of fake-issues and fake news.

Americans have inherited a birthright. This is why we celebrate Independence Day (not the “4th of July”). We have the right to live in freedom and to establish a moral order that protects the unborn and minorities while judiciously adhering to our longstanding constitutional order. We can do this by working “to affect the legislative process by influencing public opinion, lobbying legislators, voting, and running for office.”

We must stand firm in using our long history of traditional wisdom and moral values to restore order, prevent societal decay and, “secure the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our Posterity.”

How many snakes make up a brood? How many vipers are in positions of power across America?

I ask this question after watching the ridiculous antics from the Senate Judiciary Committee as they interviewed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, regarding consideration for her nomination to the Supreme Court.

A well-published exchange between Judge Jackson and Sen. Blackburn went like this:

Blackburn:    “Can you provide a definition for the word, ‘woman’?”
Jackson:        “Can I provide a definition?”
Blackburn:    “Mhmm, yeah…”
Jackson:        “I can’t…”
Blackburn:    “You can’t?”
Jackson:        “Mmm, not in this context — I’m not a biologist.”

It should strike all of us as unconscionable that the leftist elites have so bewitched, befuddled and frightened this intelligent lady that she cannot even answer the most obvious questions regarding details of science, biology and basic truth.

Judge Jackson is currently being interviewed as a nominee for one of the highest positions within America’s judicial system, the Supreme Court of the United States. Yet, it appears she is being forced to  k’o-t’ou to the most arcane principles of the malicious left. If this is how the Democrats are striving to impress America, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the legal community, and everyday blue-collar workers then their cavalcade of idiocy deserves to end in chaos and failure.

The underlying tragedy, left unsaid, is the implication that only a certified expert, in this case a biologist, is capable of answering even the most fundamental questions of life.

All of us know better. We know this is not true. We know this is not true just as certainly as we know the difference between dog food, Frisbees and hub-caps. We as humans, go through our daily lives listening to arguments, weighing the pros and cons of disparate sources and making thousands of reasonable assessments about our world. This is the art of successful living.

The problem we face today is that a vast monopoly of corporate techno-giants have an unquenchable appetite for money and will use any means, including censorship, misinformation and propaganda to achieve their goals. They have artificially inflated and intentionally propagandized the needless destruction of supply chains, labor markets, food production and our self-sufficient energy sectors in their endless quest for more clicks, more sales, and more profits. In the meantime, they have successfully promoted dependency on government. The hoards of so-called experts employed by the bureaucratic machine are using tax-dollar lucre for personal and corporate gains and appear unstoppable.

Is my claim outlandish? Is there any proof of this? Would anyone intentionally create fear, destruction, and grief?

The answer, unfortunately, is – “Yes.”

Why? – “Selfish ambition.”

Can we stop them and hold them to account? – “Yes.”

In particular, I’ll point you to an interview where I speak with Dr. Naomi Wolf, Oregon State Senator Kim Thatcher, and Dr. Henry Ealy about our Grand Jury Petition alleging criminal and willful negligence among the upper echelons of the federal healthcare hierarchies.

According to Center’s for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data, in Oregon, hospitals have been receiving upwards of $220,000 dollars for every hospital death listed as a COVID death. The incentives being used to justify the inflation in the number of diagnoses and implementation of suboptimal treatment for certain patients can only be described, as Dr. Wolf suggests, as a “biofacist approach to medicine.”

Further, Dr. Ealy discusses the irregularities in timeline between when the CARES Act was enacted, in January of 2019, and when the pandemic surfaced. The timeline for these and other important events throughout the pandemic suggest premeditated planning and continued fraud within the public health sector. The combination of civil and criminal offenses that make up this growing scandal are dissected.

Discover the truth about the wholesale plunder of the American people by a small cohort of seemingly corrupt and morally bankrupt individuals who are masquerading as healthcare experts.

Additionally, Western Liberty Network’s, Take the Offensive conference is Saturday, March 26th, 2022, in Klamath Falls. The event is being held at the beautiful Running Y Ranch Resort from 9am-5pm.

Join with others in our community to strengthen our grassroots movements that are taking the offense and holding school-boards, local city and county governments to account for the unconstitutional and destructive actions that enrich the well-connected at the expense of everyone else.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 10, 2021

Governor Erodes Faith in Public Health Institutions
With New Mask Mandates

SALEM, Ore. – Governor Brown has issued two new mask mandates just weeks after lifting them. This time, for K-12 students – the group least likely to become seriously ill, be hospitalized, pass the virus to others, or die from COVID-19 – and state employees.

The death rate for children is lower than that of seasonal flu, for which the Governor failed to implement mask mandates in years prior. The new K-12 mask mandate requires everyone, regardless of vaccination status or natural immunity, to wear a mask at school.

Senator Dennis Linthicum (R-Klamath Falls) issued the following statement:

“The Governor and her administration have a responsibility to cut through the panic and provide the evidence, datum, and succinct scientific analysis that tells Oregonians what they can expect. Instead, OHA, like the CDC,  have constantly shifted goalposts and undermined Oregonians’ faith in our public health institutions.

“Schools have been shown to have lower case rates than the broader community, yet the message from the Governor is that our schools are one of the most dangerous places for them to be. That is an unsound and anti-scientific view. Many Oregon schools have been operating all summer with no masks and no significant outbreaks.

“All teachers, staff members, families and students over 12 have had ample time to choose to get vaccinated. Moms and dads, families and individuals all have a right to choose which medical procedures they engage in and to force kids needlessly into masks is abusive.

“Oregonians are tired of these dictatorial mandates from the Governor. One moment, she is pro-local control. Next, she puts forward unfounded and anti-scientific decrees like these. These newest mandates come with no limiting principle. COVID’s death rate is the lowest it has ever been thanks to the ever-growing herd immunity of Oregon’s population. Does the Governor expect Oregonians to take on and off the masks as she says until we have zero cases?  If so, this proves the Governor has a unrealistic mindset based on nothing but myths and fairytales.”

Governor Kate Brown has successfully strangled Oregon’s health and vitality through unprecedented overreach regarding SARS-CoV-2. Her actions might have been “well-intentioned” but, regardless, they are fatal.

This year’s number of tragic deaths from suicide is outpacing prior year trend-lines. Additionally, suicide deaths currently exceed deaths caused by SARS-CoV-2. Pneumonia and influenza deaths also exceed SARS-CoV-2 deaths. Hospital utilization rates are being maintained at stable levels which are far below the numbers that would overwhelm our healthcare system. In other words, the SARS-CoV-2 “curve has been flattened.”

But the Governor is not one to be stopped by success. The latest gimmick is a proposed travel ban.

Yet there is no data suggesting Oregonians have been subjected to SARS-CoV-2 coming inbound from out-of-state sources. Air travel through Portland’s International Airport is nearly non-existent. Counties along Oregon’s borders with other states have suffered far fewer cases and deaths than the metro areas. There is no documented case-count spike due to wagonloads of settlers seeking a new life in our beautiful state.

Instead, U-Haul caravans are headed out-bound looking for freedom in other parts of our great nation.

The Infringements committed by the Governor, with the Democrat super-majority’s blessings, are too egregious to ignore. The executive branch’s preposterous parade of medical elites, bureaucrats and their media cohorts have needlessly frightened the people of Oregon.

Together we must stand against these unconstitutional, unwarranted and harmful actions. We must take a courageous stand for our sacred, God-given and Constitutionally guaranteed rights. The People of Oregon have already suffered too many indignities at the hand of the Governor and the Democrat super-majority.

Now is the time for change!

If we don’t stand for rural Oregon Values and common-sense… No one will!

Tech giants like Facebook, Google, Pinterest and others are out to stop the so-called anti-Vaxxers. They are actively removing and demoting information simply because people are voicing honest disagreements with policy mandates.

I, too, am against the mandatory vaccine legislation and I think there has not been enough testing on the various vaccine-combinations. I hope you will see the validity of my assessment as I explain my position.

I realize there are pragmatic difficulties in staging realistic epidemiological studies due to the outrageously unique and utterly complex nature of our God-given humanness. Not to mention that we daily experience innumerable outside variables woven through the places, times and circumstances of our lives.

Intuitively, we are all well aware of these details because we each know of friends or family members who different from us. They each react differently to any number of food, drink, lotion, or medicinal items. Additionally, when you visit the doctor’s office, they invariable hand you a clipboard where they want you to describe allergic reactions that you may have experienced. This includes, common things like, eggs, fish, milk, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, wheat and antibiotics.

Take a second and count the people that you are aware of that have some sort of adverse reaction, possibly even anaphylactic shock, from various conditions. Second, consider the simplistic claim that, “all vaccines are proven safe.”

Right! Peanut-butter is perfectly safe, too; except when it isn’t.

However, no one is mandating that you eat peanut-butter and jelly for lunch (today.)

In the same way that the tech giants are demoting what they consider to be misinformation, they are promoting stories that are crafted to help the vaccine mandate crowd. Their web-crawlers are out looking for old pro-vaccine news that can be put to good use.

The Associated Press (AP) is digging up any tidbit of vaccine news so that a story can be twisted to fit today’s statist agenda. Like putty in the hands of a master-scaremonger these stories provide great fodder for promoting unfathomable governmental intrusions into our private lives.

In light of the recent push for, what I’ll refer to as, the “coerced injection act” (HB 3063) and the formidable campaign against the “consensual vaccine information act” (SB 649) the AP dug-up an older story about an unvaccinated child. The child was “hospitalized for two months for tetanus and almost [died] of the bacterial illness after getting a deep cut while playing on a farm.”

The AP article proceeds to quote Dr. William Schaffner, an expert in infectious diseases, as being “flabbergasted.” The story highlights the exorbitant costs and the near-death experience of this young boy in an effort to persuade readers that mandatory vaccines will save the “herd.”

Except, C. tetani is not an infectious disease. Tetanus isn’t transmitted person-to-person by sneezing, coughing, or unsafe sexual practices but instead comes from bacterial spores that exist nearly everywhere in the soil.

Those inoculated with the DTaP (Diptheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis) combination vaccine cannot impact the safety for schools or other public spaces. This is because the vaccine only provides personal protection. This vaccine does not rid our planet of rusty nails, old farm machinery or C. tetani spores. It only provides protection to the individual who receives the injection.

In an open-letter to legislators considering vaccine mandates, Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych, who earned her Ph.D. in Immunology at the Rockefeller University in New York and did post-graduate work at Harvard, writes, “People who have not received the vaccines […] pose no higher threat to the general public than those who have.”

For example, with a 95 percent vaccine compliance rate a school of 1,000 children, would have 950 vaccinated students and 50 unvaccinated students. If the vaccine had a 90 percent effective rate, then potentially 95 fully vaccinated students would be susceptible to an outbreak compared to 50 unvaccinated students.

This also creates an interesting concern for those in compliance – Why didn’t the vaccine protect these children? Were they sold a product that didn’t work or is the result due to variations in important cellular processes, metabolism or genetic makeup?

However, my real question is, why are we experiencing this all-out barrage against consensual free-choice?

A foundational tenet in clinical medicine is – first do no harm. This means, when physicians face choices between uncertain benefits and possible harm, they must err on the side of safety.

This is similar to the “precautionary principle,” in the environmental sciences. Arising from concerns for environmental safety, the “precautionary principle” asserts that when faced with suspected harm, or uncertainty, the prescribed course should be caution. By implication, proceeding without caution might lead to long-term cumulative environmental damage. Or, it might not, but caution dictates that those natural resources will still be available for others in the future.

All vaccines should be carefully evaluated, both individually and in long-term studies, and then, synergistically, for toxicity with other vaccine combinations.

The Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) childhood vaccine schedule recommends all children receive 69 doses of 16 vaccines with 50 doses of 14 vaccines given between the day of birth and age 18. In the U.S. today, the majority of children receive 3X as many vaccinations as children received in 1983, when Diane and I started having children.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM), National Academy of Sciences, concluded there was not enough scientific evidence to determine whether vaccines are associated with health problems in premature infants or the development of chronic brain and immune system disorders that affect a child’s intellectual development, learning, attention, communication and behavior, learning disabilities and autism.

I realize there are real difficulties associated with performing extensive tests of this magnitude but aren’t our children worth it? Doesn’t it bother you that food allergies have increased by 20 percent in the last 20 years? Don’t you find it troubling that the number of Ritalin prescriptions has risen over 150% in the last ten years?  Haven’t you wondered about the inexplicable increase in autism in our lifetimes?

Lastly, are we willing to call the 228 measles cases, across 12 states, within a total U.S. population of 310 million, an epidemic? If so, then what term will we use to describe the more than 50,000 children who will exhibit autistic tendencies before this year is over? Are we brave enough to face an epidemic when we see one?

In closing, my concern is that Oregon’s legislators will be adopting a policy that will ostracize those who don’t have the correct paperwork or pox mark on their arms. Is this really the policy we want to adopt in our fight for freedom and tolerance? Is this what we mean when we praise our schools for being free from discrimination? Will we resort to feeding our collective fear and appetite against our neighbors who are faced with protecting their families with free-choice and the comfort of being true to their consciences?

Our inability to muster the political courage to demand more thorough testing is our failure. However, this has nothing what-so-ever to do with negating peoples’ rights to control their own destinies and the destinies for their children. We must ensure government defends and protects parental rights and their freedom to make their own family’s medical choices.

Remember, if we don’t stand for rural-Oregon values and common sense – No one will!

This week I joined as a Co-Sponsor of HB 4005 – the Prescription Drug Price Transparency Act because for the past twenty years pharmaceutical prices have been sky-rocketing upwards. US drug prices have long out-paced historical norms and there is no foreseeable downward pressure on the cost curve.

I’ll be the first to admit that government intervention is problematic because it creates a constant clamor for more government. Once some segment of any industry gains a legislated upper hand then everyone else rushes in for more legislation and government grows. Congressional meddling, over-regulation and unintended consequences, stemming from well-meaning healthcare policy initiatives, has caused a large part of these price increases.

HB 4005, however, is not invasive government intervention but a well-crafted surgical strike focused on the cost of prescription drugs. It will shed light on drug pricing whenever a drug manufacturer has a steep price increase or when they bring a new expensive blockbuster drug onto the market.

President Trump mentioned the problem in his State of the Union address, He said, “One of my greatest priorities is to reduce the price of prescription drugs. In many other countries, these drugs cost far less than what we pay in the United States. That is why I have directed my Administration to make fixing the injustice of high drug prices one of our top priorities.”

It will be fascinating to see how Congress handles this challenge because they created the lopsided environment where complexity reigns and patients lose.

The federal healthcare system is a giant spaghetti ball of legislation, with myriads of alphabet-soup agencies and 50 years of re-do’s, take-overs and fixes. The end result is an overly complex and extremely messy bundle of rules, regulations and unintended consequences.

And, we’re stuck in the middle…

However, in the face of continued skyrocketing prescription drug prices, Oregon can provide a little bit of needed transparency. Oregonians for Affordable Drug Prices announced bipartisan and statewide support for HB 4005 that will require pharmaceutical manufacturers to share information on any drug price increase that is more than 10% annually.

I have more faith in free, open and voluntary markets than government bureaucracies. The injection of government into the healthcare arena did not create better solutions for those in need. What it did supply is a source of revenue – the taxpayer.

Decades of lobbying has resulted in a protectionist system plagued by three systemic issues. First, the beneficiaries, or patients, present an insatiable, unquenchable and uncontrollable demand on the system. This is a hallmark of socialism where third-party payers carry the burden of an ever-growing desire for more and more services.

Secondly, current law provides the best of crony capitalism – market monopolies. Healthcare service providers composed of delivery system cartels of doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, pharmaceutical suppliers, medical device makers, etc., have implanted themselves deep into congressional organs.

Patients experience the results in a complex system of excessive wait-lines, multiple referrals, and continual follow-ups while the providers are party to a rigged reimbursement system which maximizes revenue gains, minimizes system efficiency and has no competitive discipline.

The graphic below shows dramatic tandem price increases over the past twenty years for two competing insulin analogues. The upward trend is not due to normal inflationary increases; it is due to federal policies.

Competitive pressure should surface when supply chain circumstances, commodity contracts or manufacturing advantages present themselves in a free market. As can been seen, even when alternatives exist, there is little competition and prices do not go down. In fact, the opposite occurs – prices increase in tandem with one another.

This is because the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, which established Medicare Part D, banned direct negotiations for lower prices on prescription drugs by the government. If the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services could negotiate with pharmaceutical companies, the agency could leverage its enormous purchasing power to pay less for drugs.

Lower prices would reverberate through the market because information is power. “I can’t give you a discount because when the word gets out then I’ll have to give discounts to everyone.”

Also, in the thousands of ACA pages there are several items that favor the lopsided pricing fiasco we recognize. These items are a mandate prohibiting re-importation of drugs (like insulin from Canada), preserving Medicare’s over-payment for drugs, mandates requiring state subsidies for drugs under Medicaid, and hundreds of billions in subsidies for drugs in Medicare part B and D.

Under HB 4005 drug makers will be required to give advance notice to payers before price increases of more than 10 percent a year. Additionally, for all drugs that increased more than 10 percent in the prior years, the manufacturer must report to the state their research, development and marketing costs, profit margins and whether generic drug alternatives are available.

Another feature of the bill requires companies to report what the price for their medication is in other countries, an especially pressing issue when prices are, on average, 50 percent lower in other industrialized nations. The graph below illustrates the enormous price discrepancy for insulin in the US verses other countries.

The US spends 18% of GDP on health care compared to 10-12% in the rest of the developed world. There is no hope of slowing down the health care monster without some transparency and the restoration of basic free market principles like consumer sovereignty, patient responsibility, risk-based pricing and a free market supply chain.

HB 4005 is one small step for transparency and gaining insight into the problem of rising prescription drug prices. The public hearing for HB 4005 will be on Monday, Feb. 5th at 3:00pm in Hearing Room E in the Capital Bldg.

Remember, if we don’t stand for rural Oregon values and common sense – No one will!
