Questions and Answers About COVID-19 Part I Pamela A. Popper, President Wellness Forum Health

I’m going to allocate some newsletters to commonly asked questions and answers. Here is the first batch!

School-Related Questions and Answers

What can teachers (and other school employees), and parents of students do about the mandate to wear masks in schools?
I generally do not like to be the bearer of bad news, but the bottom line is that at this time, there is no way to avoid this. I’ve not seen a case yet in which even a doctor’s note has resulted in a student or school employee being excused from wearing a mask. This is another good reason to home school your children, and if you are a teacher or school employee, to think about a career change. There are some interesting opportunities for teachers since so many parents are home schooling. Some are forming pods and co-ops, pooling their resources, and hiring teachers privately.

What about filing a lawsuit?
You can do this, but it’s expensive if you are filing it yourself. Unless your attorney asks for an injunction, which would not likely be granted in my opinion, the case would not be tried in time to affect this school year. Better to join and support organizations that are working on these issues for you like Make Americans Free Again www.makeamericansfreeagain.com

My college-age child has been told that he/she must sign a pledge agreeing to participate in random testing, quarantines, contact tracing, and rules such as social distancing, avoiding gatherings and so on. What should I do?
There is no recourse; universities and colleges are adopting even more onerous policies than public and private K-12 schools, and they are just as inflexible.

This is just my opinion, and many may disagree…Take a year off, or enroll in a distance learning program through another school. First, the agreement is ridiculous, overreaching, and most likely not legal. Yet there are consequences for not following “the rules,” and almost no one will actually be able to do so. The tests are not reliable, making it quite likely that your child will be quarantined either due to a false positive or via contact tracing from someone else who tests positive.

Many colleges and universities that have opened have closed again after a few positive tests or a gathering of students and sent everyone home. Attendance at these schools for an entire semester is far from guaranteed.

And last but not least, the college experience that your child is looking forward to is not going to happen until this nonsense is over. Better to wait than to reward these schools and their onerous rules with tuition money.

General COVID Questions

A lot of people are predicting a “second wave” of COVID-19. Do you think that this is going to happen?
We actually never had a first wave. As I’ve said repeatedly, there is no data supporting the declaration of an epidemic or pandemic. This was an invented hoax. If the criminals who did this want to stage a “second wave” they will do it.

What do you say to people who still believe that this is a dangerous virus, wear their masks, and are afraid to go anywhere?
I don’t say anything to them. In early March, I knew this was a hoax after analyzing the data and checking out Neil Ferguson (the guy who developed the model on which the ridiculous responses were based). Ferguson has a long track record of making wildly inaccurate predictions – in fact, he has never been right about anything. But at that time, I had some patience with people who were watching the news and being brainwashed daily. At that time, they were hearing predictions of what was going to happen and those predictions sounded scary.

But months later, it is clear that the predictions were wrong. Ten countries and several states that did not participate in this nonsense have had no overcrowded hospitals, and their cases and death rates are low. There are hundreds of doctors speaking out and reporting real data, including data on the increasing collateral damage – suicides, overdoses, deaths due to neglect and lack of treatment, bankruptcies, homelessness, food insecurity. And the rules are becoming more nonsensical every week.

Anyone who continues to believe and promote the outright lies that are being told daily is either incredibly stupid or is supporting the dark agenda of the criminals and despots who planned and are executing this debacle. You will not convince these people with facts – they are not interested, and their minds are already made up.

What should people be doing to protect themselves right now? Are there people who should be taking extra precautions?
What happens every year during flu season? The CDC and other health authorities try to scare/convince people to get a flu vaccine. Other than that, nothing else changes. Nursing homes still allow visitors. Students still go to school. Everyone goes to work. People travel. Large gatherings take place all over the world – conferences, athletic events, concerts and other performances – and so on.

Every year a billion people worldwide get the flu, older and more vulnerable people have more severe symptoms, and most of the deaths happen in the older and more vulnerable population. A significant percentage of deaths are in long-term care facilities. This is what happened this year during flu season with COVID-19.

Everyone has to make their own decision about what they want to do, but I see no reason to modify any behavior at this time.

But what about nursing home deaths? Shouldn’t these people be protected?
The average age of nursing home patients when they are moved into these facilities is 83. The average length of time between when they enter and when they die is 13.7 months, and 53% die within 6 months of arrival.

The reason people are moved into long-term care facilities is because they are frail and sick. They have short life expectancies. I have had many family members and friends who have lived their final months in these facilities and from my experience, the last thing these people would want is separation from family and friends. Any nursing home patient that chooses to isolate should be allowed to do so, but I don’t think there would be many who would do this.

Read Dr. Peter Breggin’s very moving essay on this topic, which appeared in our newsletter.

But there are so many cases being reported daily. Isn’t this cause for concern?
There are several factors contributing to the daily reports of cases. First, asymptomatic people are being encouraged to be tested. There are signs in drug stores and grocery stores, billboards, articles in newspapers, and commercials on television – all promoting testing.

In many states, including Ohio, people are knocking on doors in neighborhoods and randomly testing people who are home in order to report more “cases.”

Anyone admitted to the hospital for any reason – including joint replacement – must be tested, sometimes multiple times and even if asymptomatic. Those who test positive are labeled as “cases” even when they have no symptoms of flu. They are also categorized as “hospitalized COVID-19 patients” even if they are asymptomatic and hospitalized for other reasons, like angioplasty.

The CDC’s definition of a “case” has been broadened to include a growing list of symptoms. According to CDC guidelines, any person who has had contact with a person who tests positive is a case, and so is anyone who has visited a “hotspot” like certain counties in Ohio with a few dozen cases in a population of millions.

Just as important, the tests are not reliable. The inventor of one of the most commonly used tests (the PCR test) stated publicly that the test should be used for lab work only and not as a diagnostic tool.

And an increasing number of people are reporting that in spite of not showing up for the test, they received notice that they tested “positive” in the mail. The office of the Ohio Auditor has opened an investigation of this issue and is collecting case reports on its website. Other state auditors are also investigating. Many people are starting to realize that something is terribly wrong.

THE HEALTHY AMERICAN – Peggy Hall

See Peggy speaking before the Orange County Board of Supervisors in the final push to get mask mandate repealed – and the video of it actually happening the next day!

Source: THE HEALTHY AMERICAN

Here is a brand-new tool in your artillery for fighting for your rights!

Many of you have been asking for this:

Click HERE for the NOTICE OF DISCRIMINATION incident form.

This NOTICE OF DISCRIMINATION could also be referred to as a Notice of Violation.

The purpose of this document is:

(1) To educate businesses and employees that discrimination against you is prohibited by Federal law.

(2) To document any violations of your civil rights

(3) To notify the violator of your civil rights that criminal charges and an official complaint will be filed

(4) To leave behind a VISIBLE response to your distressing interaction with those who violate your rights.

WHERE CAN THIS BE USED?

You can use the NOTICE OF DISCRIMINATION wherever you have your rights violated, including but not limited to:

(1) Retail businesses

(2) Grocery stores

(3) Bars, restaurants

(4) Gas stations

(5) Transportation including buses, taxis, metro, airlines

(6) Public and private schools

(7) Medical offices, clinics, hospitals (*** watch my video on THE PATIENT’S BILL OF RIGHTS)

(8) City, state, county and federal offices and court houses

(9) DMV

(10) Post offices

(11) Parks, beaches

HOW TO USE THE NOTICE OF DISCRIMINATION

I have all the instructions for you on this page 

This document is not a “golden key” that will open every door for you. (Though I certainly wish that were the case.)

Instead, this is an INFORMATION and ACTION document!

You can INFORM those who are ignorant of the law as to what civil rights are being violated…

(hopefully this WILL cause some people to “cease and desist)

And you can take ACTION by filling out the form and leaving it with the perpetrator.

I sure wish I had had this document when I had my civil rights violated by Southwest Airlines.

I would have completed a form for each one of these violators — and it would have made me feel like “justice was served” — or at least the beginning of it!

Even if they had refused to sign it  — and even if they had torn it up in front of me, it doesn’t matter.

What matters is the ACTION you take to fight this tyranny!!

And remember, I stand with you.

I will never stop. And I know you feel the same.

Let’s start using the NOTICE OF DISCRIMINATION — and let me know how it goes for you!!

warmly,

Peggy

They’re Relying on You to OBEY – Reallygraceful

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s okay to say no. Many of us feel uncomfortable saying no, because we’re afraid of conflict, we’re afraid of standing out from the crowd, because we grow up well-behaved and compliant and we place value on the comfort of others and little on ourselves. This lesson applies to all things in life, whether it’s creating boundaries personally or professionally, or even dealing with this new abnormal we’ve been sold every single day in 2020.

Official Account: Plandemic Documentary Series

Rush to Censor, Discredit As Much-Anticipated Plandemic 2 Released

By Jefferey Jaxen

On May 4th, 2020 as part of a documentary series called Plandemic, investigative filmmaker Mikki Willis released an interview featuring science whistleblower Dr. Judy Mikovits. The interview received fierce backlash and heavy-handed censorship for what the corporate media declared “dangerous conspiracy theories.”

Plandemic 2 now goes deeper, beyond Dr. Mikovits, into conflicts of interest surrounding the coronavirus by top health bodies.

National Intelligence Analyst and Founder of IQ100, David E. Martin, PHD made the discovery that in 1999, patents for the coronavirus started showing up. Martin stated, “In 2003 the [U.S.] Centers for Disease Control saw the possibility of a gold strike” as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), a coronavirus, swept through China and then Hong Kong.

Martin states that the CDC, through patent applications, “…made sure that they controlled the proprietary rights to the disease, to the virus, to its detection and all of the measurement of it.”

By receiving the patents ultimately constraining anyone from working with the coronavirus, Martin claims that the CDC and a host of other individuals, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, had “the means, the motive, and…monetary gain from turning coronavirus from a pathogen to profit.”

The first vaccine for COVID-19 to begin trials in the United States is mRNA-1273. This experimental vaccine was developed by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), along with a biotech company, Moderna Inc.

Recently, the non-profit group the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) confirmed that officials within the NIH who are working to develop a vaccine for novel coronavirus (COVID-19) stand to personally earn millions of dollars from sales of this vaccine.

In short, individuals within Dr. Fauci’s NIAID, and their heirs, will each potentially earn millions of dollars personally from sales of mRNA-1273 and NIAID also stands to earn millions annually from the sale of this vaccine.

Why is this information presented in the Plandemic documentary series just now seeing possible mainstream adaption? The film dives into the internet’s self-proclaimed ‘fact checkers’ as drivers of online ‘facts.’ Continually cited by corporate media outlets when debunking stories and justifying censorship, evidence shows that most ‘fact checking’ outlets like Wikipedia, Snopes, Politifact and others are neither independent nor factual serving more to derail inconvenient facts that run counter to narratives put forth by government bodies.

On Monday, the non-profit group Children’s Health Defense (CHD) filed a lawsuit in San Francisco Federal Court charging Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, and three fact-checking outfits with censoring truthful public health posts and for fraudulently misrepresenting and defaming CHD. Facebook has acknowledged that it coordinates its censorship campaign with the WHO and the CDC.

Plandemic 2 lays out a desperate case for rampant conflicts of interest within national and global health bodies. The refusal to implant anti-trust laws and a complacent mechanism of paying fines for crimes and harms as a cost of doing business has permeated the pharmaceutical-industrial complex – the cost to the lives of everyday people has been incalculable.

Willis, refused by corporate media the ability to add balance to waves of one-side hit pieces,  commented about his film and the interview with Dr. Mikovits saying, “As a father and a veteran media producer, there is no way I would release harmful information into the world during a moment as vulnerable as now. I had know Dr. Judy for two years before fmilming her interview. I read her book and thoroughly researched and vetted her story. After interviewing her legal team, former colleagues, and people who have known her for decades, one thing I can say without a question is Judy Mikovits is one of the most honest, caring and courageous women I’ve ever known.”

Good News: Fauci’s Out and Common Sense Might Be Returning – Ron Paul

These days it seems there is not much good news out there. People are still panicked over the coronavirus, governments are still trampling civil liberties in the name of fighting the virus, the economy –already teetering on the edge of collapse – has been kicked to the ground by what history may record as one of the worst man-made disasters of all time: shutting down the country to fight a cold virus.

That’s why we’ll take good news wherever we can get it, and President Trump’s hiring of Dr. Scott Atlas to his coronavirus task force may just be that good news we need. As the media has reported, President Trump has sidelined headline-hogging Anthony Fauci in favor of Atlas, the former Stanford University Medical Center chief of neuroradiology.

Recall, Fauci was the “expert” who told us a few months ago that we would never be able to shake hands again.

Fauci’s advice, forecasts, and assessments proved to be wildly wrong, contradictory, and just plain bizarre: Don’t wear a mask! You must wear a mask. Masks are important as symbols. Put on goggles. Stay home! Churches must be severely restricted but Black Lives Matter marches and encounters with strangers met over the Internet are perfectly fine.

When Anthony Fauci demanded a lockdown of the economy for an indefinite period he actually seemed oblivious to the havoc it would wreak on the economy and on people’s lives. People like Fauci and others who demanded lockdowns and stay-at-home orders were still collecting their paychecks, so what did they care about anyone else?

Dr. Scott Atlas is not only a former top physician and hospital administrator: as a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution he also understands the policy implications of locking a country down.

On April 22, Dr. Atlas wrote an op-ed in The Hill titled, “The data is in — stop the panic and end the total isolation.” In the article he made five main points that are as true today as when he wrote them: an overwhelming majority of people are at no risk of dying from Covid; protecting older people prevents hospital overcrowding; locking down a population actually prevents the herd immunity necessary to defeat the virus; people are dying because they are not being treated for non-Covid illnesses; we know what part of the population is at risk and we can protect them.

Imagine how many thousands of lives could have been saved had the Administration listened to Dr. Atlas back in April. CDC Director Robert Redfield admitted last month that lockdowns were killing more Americans than Covid. “First do no harm” was thrown out the window and nearly six months of wrong-headed policy has done perhaps irreparable harm to the country.

South Dakota and Sweden did virtually nothing to lock down or restrict their populations and they actually fared better than lockdown states in the US. They had lower death rates, their hospitals were never over-run with Covid patients, and they have an economy to go back to.

We very much hope that Dr. Atlas will not “moderate” his message to please the blob in Washington. Trump’s Covid policies to this point have caused more harm than good. With Fauci out of the driver’s seat we finally have a chance of turning things around.

A COVID-19 Conversation From the Perspective of President Trump – by Bill Bonner – Rogue Economics 

  | Aug 17, 2020  |  | 8 min read Print 

Week 23 of the Quarantine

SAN MARTIN, ARGENTINA – “Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States of America…”

Last week, we decided to give Mr. Trump a hand… writing out a “fireside chat” that explained the nation’s developing economic catastrophe and offered a simple solution: honest money.

Not that honest money is the solution to everything. People still go to war… still get sick… and still do stupid things.

But fake money and fake interest rates are destroying the economy and the “social contract” that holds the nation together.

They are why the rich are so much richer than the poor… why many of our good jobs have been shipped overseas… why GDP growth rates are so slow… and why the feds can get away with such knuckleheaded boondoggles, such as paying people more in unemployment compensation than they earned on the job.

Readers complain that we just bitch and moan here at the Diary. But last week, with our “honest money” proposal, we showed the president how to head off a revolution. This week, we cure the COVID-19 crisis.

The president is the leader of the nation. It’s time for him to lead us out of the COVID wilderness. And we’ll make it easy for him – no big words or complex ideas.

Challenge of a Real Leader

In a better world, a president grows into his office. He becomes not just the leader of a party or the champion of “his base,” but a real head of state.

He ignores poll results, newspaper editorials, TV talk shows, partisan sniping, Deep State meddling, and campaign contributors. Instead, he asks himself only, “What would be best for the nation?”

And then, he explains himself in a fireside chat – speaking like Jefferson or Adams… not like Bush, Biden, or Trump…

It takes no brains or courage to tell people what they want to hear… nor does it require any special leadership skills to give the masses the free money they crave.

The challenge of a real leader is to tell the hard truth, not dulcet lies, even those that got him elected.

And herewith, we give him a text.

A Fireside Chat for Trump

“My fellow Americans, I speak to you tonight about a grave matter of urgent importance.

“Our nation has faced many challenges in the 244 years since the Declaration of Independence. And we’ve made many mistakes. We are only human. And we get carried away from time to time and do stupid things.

“We see a problem. Naturally, we want to fix it. Or we see a threat. Naturally, we want to protect ourselves from it.

“But not every problem can be fixed by the federal government. Nor can the federal government protect you from every risk. Remember, we only have two kinds of power. We can take your money. Or we can tell you what to do.

“Every penny we spend – whether we disguise it in a tax cut or as printing-press money – must come from you. Every law we pass… every rule… every regulation… is an infringement on your freedom.

“Sometimes it is necessary. Often it is not. And sometimes, the fix is much worse than the problem.

“I will give you one example of what I mean: Prohibition. In 1920, alcohol was seen as such a big threat to the nation… and the benefits of eliminating it were so blindingly obvious… we passed a Constitutional Amendment banning it.

“After all, the evidence was abundant and clear. Alcohol led to crime, domestic violence, unemployment, premature death – the list was long; the proof was impeccable.

“But while the government could make it illegal, it couldn’t make it unpopular.

“Some research shows that alcohol consumption actually went up after it was outlawed. So did the collateral damage – alcohol related deaths, caused by dangerous moonshine and bathtub gin… as well as a move by criminal gangs into the liquor business.

“And Prohibition turned us into a nation of law-breakers… and gave the federal government vast new powers to arrest and control the population.

“But we learned from this experience. In 1933, prohibition was repealed. And now 100 years after the 18th amendment made Demon Rum illegal, we see that it was much better to treat alcohol as a health issue, not to make war on it.

Another Big Mistake

“I’m speaking directly to you tonight because I think we are making another mistake – a big one. I’m talking about the ‘war’ we are currently conducting against the COVID-19. It is driven by similar fears and hysteria.

“The media is full of lurid stories… hospitals over-run… cases soaring… body counts rising. But those stories could be written about any influenza.

“The 1918 ‘Spanish’ flu killed 0.5% of the U.S. population. The 1957 ‘Asian’ flu killed only one-tenth as many – 0.06% of the U.S. The 1968, ‘Hong Kong’ flu killed 0.05% of the U.S. And the 2009, ‘Swine’ flu carried off only 0.004% of the U.S.

“As of last week, the COVID death toll stood at 0.05% in the U.S. and will probably end up near 0.1% – or one tenth of one percent of the population.

“Of course, we don’t want to lose anyone to the disease. But nor do we want to succumb to a panicky over-reaction.

“Mankind has lived with infectious diseases for as long as we’ve existed. So far, at least, we have never fully beaten them. But they don’t beat us, either. They make us sick, but they usually don’t kill us. We are much more useful to viruses alive – coughing, sneezing, and spreading them – than dead.

“That is probably why the COVID tends not to kill the people who socialize the most, young people, because they are the best disease spreaders. Let’s look at the numbers.

The COVID-19 Numbers

“If you are under the age of 24, your chances of dying from the COVID virus are very small – not even statistically significant. You’re much more likely to die in an auto accident. Of course, we could ban automobile travel to protect you, but we don’t think it is worth it.

“If you are in the working population – between 25 and 65 – your odds of dying from the virus are higher, but still very much within tolerable limits of everyday life. People who die in this age group are about 30 times more likely to die of something other than the COVID-19 – at least so far.

“After 65… the danger rises. Sharply. Especially if you have ‘comorbidities.’ And when you get to be over 85, your chance of dying from the disease is more than 1,000 times greater than it is for a 20-year-old.

“But so is your chance of dying from almost any other disease.

“Yes, I hate to break it to you… But when you get to be over 85, something is going to kill you – and soon. The COVID is just one of them. Even so, as of last week, it was only responsible for about 10% of the deaths in this age category for this year.

“So our best strategy for dealing with the disease is obvious. Those who are most vulnerable should stay away from people who might have the disease… and wait for the viral cycle to pass.

“Fortunately, most of the vulnerable are over 65. They don’t have to go out to work… or to socialize. They can fairly easily keep their distance, wear face masks, wash their hands, and so forth.

“For the rest, were it not for all the media attention, most people who get it would not even know that they had it. It does not represent an outsized risk.

Two Problems With the Lockdown

“But why not listen to the doctors and force everyone into a Lockdown and eradicate the disease?

“There are two reasons.

“First, if we were a small island nation, it might be possible to keep the virus out. In a country as large, diverse, and mobile as the U.S., there is no way. It would be like trying to stamp out drugs or alcohol.

“Already, some 20 million Americans have probably been infected. There is no way to get rid of it entirely.

“Second, doctors can tell you how to avoid the disease. Vulnerable people should pay attention. But I represent the whole nation… not just those who are afraid of getting the COVID.

“Shutting down our economic and social lives may help a few people avoid or delay the disease, but it also prevents people from living fully.

“It is by working together that we satisfy our material needs. It is how we earn the things we want and need. And it is by socializing that we satisfy our spiritual, psychological, and communal needs. Cut them off… and we, as a people, are poorer… with less of what we really want in life.

“Those who suffer most are young people – those who are building lives, careers, businesses, and families; that is, those who are least vulnerable to the virus.

Heart of the Matter

“And so now we come to the heart of the matter. Those of us who are over 65 might make it safer for ourselves by forcing everyone else – including school children – to isolate themselves and wear face masks.

“But it would stifle and stunt the lives of our own children and grandchildren. What kind of people would we be if we did that?

“We will all die, sooner or later. Do we want it chiseled on our tombstones: ‘Here lies a coward who sacrificed his own children to save himself from the COVID-19?’

“Some things are important enough to risk a little danger. In the Blitz of London, for example, German planes dropped bombs on the city for 56 nights in a row. A million houses were damaged or destroyed. Nearly 20,000 people were killed.

“Night after night, the people of the city slept on the hard concrete of their subway stations. Then, in the morning, they got up, brushed themselves off, and got back to work.

“If all they cared about was their own safety, they might have fled the city or surrendered it. But other things were important, too. Their own dignity and honor, for example… their freedom… and the kind of nation they were leaving their children. We don’t want to leave them a nation of pusillanimous weaklings, snitches and COVID cops.

“Today, as much as we want to avoid getting sick, other things matter, too. And we shouldn’t hold 280 million Americans under the age of 65 hostage… just for the convenience of the 50 million over that age.

“We are already developing promising new treatments and vaccines. In the meantime, those of us in the vulnerable category know how to protect ourselves. If we are afraid of the disease, we can practice social distancing, wash our hands, and wear face protection.

“As for the rest, let’s let them live their lives – working with each other… socializing… worshipping… and smiling at each other, without the government interfering.

“Thank you.”

Regards,
