Which of Newsom’s unconstitutional bill signings can be struck down?

Saturday, October 1, 2022, 2:47 pm | Randy Thomasson

By the end of his September 30 signing deadline, tyrannical Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom had signed hundreds of foolish, unconstitutional, and downright evil bills.

I’m reporting this not to depress you, but so you become so concerned that you’ll share this information with your friends and reasonable acquaintances, so they’ll become energized to vote this election.

While the final week of bill signings saw Newsom’s vetoes of two big, anti-parent bills — SB 70 and AB 1940 (he vetoed them because of their huge, ongoing costs), he signed the rest of the anti-parent bills, and many unconstitutional bills.

Here are the big ones that could and should be struck down:

AB 587 pressures social media companies to censor speech the Democrat-controlled government doesn’t like, such as, the truth about “Covid vaccines,” the harm of the “LGBTQIA+” agenda, the reality of election fraud, and the facts about life in the womb. AB 587 actually forces online platforms to report to the government whether they are blocking “Hate speech or racism,” “Extremism or radicalization,” “Disinformation or misinformation,” and, if so, how. These subjective terms are designed to censor your free speech, but the supporters of AB 587 think they can avoid constitutional scrutiny by forcing social media platforms to do their dirty work. Yet their fingerprints are all over this attack on the First Amendment. The larger conservative or free-speech-supporting platforms, such as Gab, Telegram, Truth Social, Rumble, Gettr, and Frank Speech should sue in federal court to repel this unconstitutional attack upon them and us.

AB 1797 will create a statewide vaccine registry, mandating most Californians’ vaccine status and “race and ethnicity” be reported to the government by “health care providers and other agencies, including schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies.” AB 1797 is ripe for both a state and federal lawsuit, because it violates the California State Constitution’s explicit right to privacy. There’s even a California Supreme Court ruling from 1975 prohibiting any surveillance of Californians when there’s no suspected illegal activity. In addition, there’s California’s voter-approved prohibition of racial preferences (Proposition 209 from 1996). There are also federal medical privacy laws.

AB 2098 will punish doctors who have studied and tell their patients the facts about Covid (the non-threat of the “variants,”) the efficacy of natural and traditional therapeutics, and the risk of injury and death from the unsafe “Covid vaccines.” Because AB 2098 tramples medical ethics, informed consent, and the doctor-patient relationship, it must be sued and struck down in federal court. Specifically, AB 2098 infringes on the fundamental guarantee of freedom of speech in the U.S. and California constitutions. And professionally, it destroys the ethic of a second opinion — when a doctor disagrees with another doctor or even differs from so-called “consensus.”

AB 2223 permitting the killing of already-born infants and toddlers by prohibiting and punishing investigations by authorities of deaths occurring during the “perinatal period” (which a world-renowned child development authority said extends “18 to 24 months after the birth of the child.” This infanticide bill AB 2223 deserves a federal lawsuit based on the 14th Amendment‘s guarantee that States cannot “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Who are the constitutional California district attorneys and sheriff-coroners who will sue AB 2223 on its face?

AB 2229 will discriminate against law enforcement officer candidates (police officers, sheriff’s deputies, California Highway Patrol officers) who are practicing Christians, Catholics, Muslims, and conservative Jews. As the Legislative Counsel describes AB 2229: “Existing law requires peace officers in this state to meet specified minimum standards, including, among other requirements, that peace officers be evaluated by a physician and surgeon or psychologist and found to be free from any physical, emotional, or mental condition that might adversely affect the exercise of the powers of a peace officer. This bill would require that evaluation to include bias against race or ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.” According to current California law: “Sexual orientation” means heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality … “Gender” means sex, and includes a person’s gender identity and gender expression. “Gender expression” means a person’s gender-related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth.” AB 2229 needs to be sued in federal court by law enforcement candidates who will be, or have been, discriminated against because of their religious values, on the strength of the 1964 U.S. Civil Rights Act.

SB 107 empowers “LGBTQIA+” activists to legally kidnap and mutilate kids. If parents in other states want to help their boys or girls overcome sexual confusion, “LGBTQIA+” groups will scheme to bring these children to California, then their attorneys will go to court and use SB 107 to give California “jurisdiction” over the children, and then California tax-funded hormone injections and “sex change” surgeries will follow. “Counseling” is part of this process, during which SB 107 will convince biological girls they’re “boys” and biological boys they’re “girls” (SB 107 calls this “gender-affirming mental health care”), then the hormone injections and irreversible “sex change” operations (which SB 107 calls “gender-affirming health care”) will follow. Federal lawsuits should be filed by state attorney generals in Republican states for this blatant violation of parental consent laws and other laws in their states. And it might require the U.S. Supreme Court to deliver a clarifying parental rights decision.

Other anti-parent bills that were signed — SB 1184, SB 1419, and SB 1479 — probably have no lawsuit potential (unless SCOTUS delivers a crystal-clear parental decision that California parents can use to regain their rights).

Religious hospitals might become exempt from SB 923‘s tyrannical transsexual indoctrination of health care providers if they sue and win in federal court on religious-freedom grounds. But pro-abortion bills, such as SB 1375 permitting nurses to kill pre-born babies and the 11 other pro-abortion bills Newsom signed, will survive all legal challenges because pro-abortion Democrat and RINO governors have built an unconstitutional, pro-abortion California Supreme Court, which callously guards “abortion rights.”

Overall, Newsom signed 997 bills this year, which were from Democrat authors or Democrat committees around 90% of the time.

One of his worst vetoes was of a Republican bill that Democrat-run committees actually passed, a bill to limit the governor’s emergency powers. Newsom arrogantly vetoed it.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Proverbs 29:2

Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.

SPECIAL REPORT: Why medical tyranny and infanticide bills passed

Friday, May 27, 2022, 12:05 pm | Randy Thomasson

If you haven’t heard yet, on May 26, the Democrats that rule the California State Assembly powered through Covid medical tyranny bills AB 2098 and AB 1797 and the infanticide legalization bill AB 2223.

AB 2098 revokes licenses of doctors that counsel patients against the “Covid vaccine”

AB 1797 puts Californians into a database, segregating them by “Covid vaccine” status

AB 2223 prohibits law enforcement from investigating infant deaths

That was the worst thing of all. But the second worst was zero Republicans spoke against any of these bad bills. All 19 of them refused to speak to expose these bills’ great harms.

And I have to tell you, based on other times this week that Assembly Republicans vigorously spoke out (such as on protecting Central Valley water), I believe these medical tyranny bills and infanticide bill could have been defeated if exposed in a verbal floor fight.

See the deceitful passage of AB 2223 where nobody spoke to expose its true effect

If you were in this fight, you have my sincere thanks and admiration for calling Sacramento in an effort to stop these horrific bills. We had to try, because last year a vaccine passport bill and a forced jab bill were pulled for lack of support. And this year, several Covid tyranny bills have already been dropped by their authors.

The votes
Despite no Assembly floor fight exposing how bad these 3 bills are, the initial votes were still close. With our goal of denying these bills a majority vote (41 yes votes), we successfully pulled off more than a dozen Democrats; so AB 2098 was declared “passed” by just 5 votes, AB 1797 by only 2 votes, and AB 2223 by 4 votes). However, by the end of the session, votes had changed, both sides coalesced, and vote disparities increased.

See the final votes (members are allowed to change their votes by the end of the session as long as they don’t change whether the bill passed or not): AB 2098 | AB 1797 | AB 2223

The future
At this point, the only way I see to defeat these 3 awful bills is IF they’re amended in the State Senate, are sent back to the Assembly floor for concurrence votes — but this time, Republicans lovingly raise their microphones to shockingly expose and defeat these bills.

However, if AB 2098, AB 1797, and AB 2223 pass the entire California Legislature in August, and are signed by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, what then? I strongly believe there should be constitutional lawsuits filed against them all. Here’s why:

AB 2098 squashing medical independence on the “Covid vaccine” is an unconstitutional regulation of speech. By targeting doctors for Covid-related “misinformation or disinformation,” AB 2098 unconstitutionally targets professional speech. As the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals noted in Pickup v. Brown (2013), “…doctor-patient communications about medical treatment receive substantial First Amendment protection.” 

The appellate court also stated, “where a professional is engaged in a public dialogue, First Amendment protection is at its greatest. Thus, for example, a doctor who publicly advocates a treatment that the medical establishment considers outside the mainstream, or even dangerous, is entitled to robust protection under the First Amendment—just as any person is.” 

The author of AB 2098 knows his bill might be unconstitutional: On April 20, he amended AB 2098 to make its provisions “severable … if any provision of this act or its application is held invalid.”

AB 1797 segregating Californians by vaccine status, race and ethnicity, violates Californians’ privacy rights by eliminating confidentiality. 
By requiring, as the Legislative Counsel’s Digest of AB 1797 describes, “health care providers and other agencies, including schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies to disclose the specified immunization information,” this bill violates the constitutional privacy rights of many Californians.

In 1972, California voters overwhelmingly added “privacy” to the list of “inalienable rights” guaranteed by Article 1, Section 1 of the California Constitution. In 1975, the California Supreme Court, in White v. Davis, relied on California’s newly-affirmed constitutional right of privacy to prevent police officers from posing as college students and gathering intelligence on what is said in the classroom when the intelligence gathered bore no relation to any suspected illegal activity.

As the court wrote: Moreover, the surveillance alleged in the complaint also constitutes a prima facie violation of the explicit “right of privacy” recently added to our state Constitution. As we point out, a principal aim of the constitutional provision is to limit the infringement upon personal privacy arising from the government’s increasing collection and retention of data relating to all facets of an individual’s life. 

By violating Californians’ medical privacy – in the classroom and otherwise – AB 1797 is in direct conflict with the California Constitution.

AB 2223 robs already-born babies of their constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the laws. 
Since this isn’t about abortion, but infanticide — which is murder — we can foresee a federal constitutional lawsuit demanding the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee that “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” If should be tried, if there’s indeed a pro-life majority at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Thank you again for fighting these awful bills through your phone calls or by donating to SaveCalifornia.com. We had to try, and I’m grateful you did your part. But most Assembly Democrats shirked their constitutional pledges and all the Republicans went mute.

Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die.
Proverbs 31:8

If you faint in the day of adversity,
Your strength is small.
Deliver those who are drawn toward death,
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
Proverbs 24:10-11

See how the Covid lies are breaking down

Thursday, January 6, 2022, 7:20 pm | Randy Thomasson
The Leftist lies continue to fall apart. Despite leaving many victims in its wake, Covid tyranny is hitting a wall of reality. The scaremongering is becoming more obvious because of evidence, logic, and the hypocrisy of medical tyrants.

In the midst of this ferocious battle over your God-given liberties and hard-won constitutional rights, I’m providing answers to these questions to equip and empower you:

Is this a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”?
Why are the vaccinated getting infected with a mutation (“Delta,” “Omicron”)?
Why don’t the “Covid vaccines” prevent viral infection or transmission?
Why don’t paper and cloth masks prevent transmission of viruses?
Will the U.S. Supreme Court uphold medical freedom or religious freedom?
Will the medical tyranny ever end?

Q: Is this a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”?
A: No, the “vaccines” have caused and are spreading the Covid variants.

But the vaccines themselves could drive the evolution of more mutants … PAUL BIENIASZ: They might serve as sort of a breeding ground for the virus to acquire new mutations. HARRIS: That’s because the virus is always mutating. And if one happens to produce a mutation that makes it less vulnerable to the vaccine, that virus could simply multiply in a vaccinated individual.
— “Vaccines could drive the evolution of more COVID-19 mutants,” NPR, February 9, 2021

Communities such as Lancaster, Palmdale, Studio City, and Santa Clarita were among the 10 areas of Los Angeles County that had the highest rates of new COVID-19 infections during a two-week period ending Nov. 6, despite most of the Areas on the list have above-average vaccination rates, said the district’s health director on Thursday.

A German government report found more than 95% of reported cases of the omicron COVID-19 variant in the country were in vaccinated individuals. Only 186 people in a sample of 4,206 individuals who contracted the new variant were unvaccinated, according to a Dec. 30 report by the Robert Koch Institute, the National Pulse reported. The vaccinated people who tested positive for omicron had at least two doses. Among the infected, 28% had received a third dose or “booster” shot. Nearly 90% of the German population has received at least two doses.
— “Government report: 95% of omicron cases are among vaccinated,” WND.com, January 3, 2022

A Danish study of nearly 12,000 households has discovered that Omicron spreads faster than Delta among those who are fully vaccinated, and even higher between those who have received booster shots, demonstrating strong evidence of the variant’s immune evasiveness. The Omicron variant was found to evade the immunity of vaccinated individuals at a much faster pace compared to Delta, and at a higher rate than the unvaccinated, according to the study conducted by researchers at the University of Copenhagen, Statistics Denmark, and Statens Serum Institut. “Comparing households infected with the Omicron to Delta VOC, we found an 1.17 times higher SAR for unvaccinated, 2.61 times higher for fully vaccinated and 3.66 times higher for booster-vaccinated individuals, demonstrating strong evidence of immune evasiveness of the Omicron VOC,” said the preprint of the study. SAR refers to secondary attack rate.

New research published in the European Journal of Epidemiology has found that mass “vaccinating” people for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) is not helping to stop the continued outbreaks. Even though governments and vaccine corporations claim that the injections are the best tool currently available to “stop the spread,” the data shows that the areas being hardest hit by new “variants” and waves of disease and death are those that have the highest injection rates.
— “Study: Vaccines don’t stop covid outbreaks (and actually cause more of them),” Ethan Huff, Natural News, January 5, 2022

While high-level officials continue to use the term “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” suggesting the COVID-jabbed play no role in the epidemiology of COVID-19, there’s ample evidence that the “fully vaccinated” have a relevant role in transmission and outbreaks. For example, in Massachusetts, 469 new COVID-19 cases were identified during July 2021. Of those, 346 (74%) were either fully or partially jabbed, and 274 (79%) were symptomatic. This proves the COVID jabs cannot end the pandemic, and may in fact be preventing it from dying out naturally.

Risch noted the agency told physicians to put COVID on death certificates regardless of whether they think the infection played a role. Hospitalizations have also conflated admissions “with” and “from” COVID, he said. As a member of a committee advising Connecticut early in the pandemic, Risch urged ignoring case counts and focusing on hospitalizations and deaths. That advice was largely ignored until the current “sky-high” yet mild Omicron variant wave, but now “finally people are waking up to say that the cases don’t matter,” he said. The U.K. is among countries that more carefully track COVID, according to Risch. Its data show vaccinated adults constitute the majority of cases, “and it’s not a hospitalization of the unvaccinated” either.
— “Top epidemiologist Harvey Risch blasts Fauci’s COVID strategy, CDC data and research,” Greg Piper, Just The News, January 7, 2022

Q: Why are the vaccinated getting infected with a mutation (“Delta,” “Omicron”)?
A: Because these “vaccines” harm people’s immune systems, leaving them vulnerable.

[With Original Antigenic Sin], the immune system will respond to a pathogen in a way shaped by its first exposure to it regardless of how the pathogen may have changed. This could blunt the response to altered boosters (an Omicron-specific booster, for example) because when the boosters activate the immune system, the original response is recalled and hampers the ability of immunity more specific to the new version of the pathogen from being developed… In the context of Omicron, it’s worth considering how original antigenic sin factors into discussions of boosting young, healthy adults with the current COVID-19 vaccines.
— “Don’t jump the gun on boosting all adults,” Dr. Amesh Adlja, Medpage Today, December 2, 2021

Previous coronavirus vaccine efforts — including those for SARS, MERS and RSV — have revealed a serious concern: The vaccines have a tendency to trigger antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). ADE means that rather than enhance your immunity against the infection, the vaccine actually enhances the virus’ ability to enter and infect your cells, resulting in more severe disease than had you not been vaccinated. Lethal Th2 immunopathology is another potential risk. A faulty T cell response can trigger allergic inflammation, and poorly functional antibodies that form immune complexes can activate the complement system, resulting in airway damage. There’s evidence showing the elderly — who are most vulnerable to severe COVID-19 and would need the vaccine the most — are also the most vulnerable to ADE and Th2 immunopathology.
— “How COVID-19 vaccine can destroy your immune system,” Dr. Joseph Mercola, November 12, 2020

ADE is certainly a reason for concern. We know that, as these antibodies wane, the risks increase. Now that there is no placebo, how do we compare? Only those who remain unvaccinated will be able to be a control group of sorts. There are so many reasons to be concerned when it comes to adverse events to these vaccines. We’ve heard for nearly a year, now, about the growing numbers of reports to VAERS. Now at 946,461 reports, it is clear that cases of myocarditis, blood clots, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, women’s health problems, and other nervous system disorders aren’t “rare,” and warrant a halt. Now these vaccines are being given to children. Many of these kids already have natural immunity and no need for the vaccine. What happens when over the course of their lives they come into contact with this virus? We don’t know, and we won’t because the trials were unblinded.
— “Fauci admits vaccines can ‘make people worse’ with ADE,” Dr. Patrick Flynn, December 17, 2021

ADE – In this scenario, the antibodies that the vaccine generated actually help the virus infect greater numbers of cells than it would have on its own. In this situation, the antibodies bind to the virus and help it more easily get into cells than it would on its own. The result is often more severe illness than if the person had been unvaccinated … So where does this leave the vaccinated?  Potentially, in BIG trouble. The vaccinated seem to be at far greater risk now BECAUSE they took the vaccines.  Their immune systems have been “taught” by the mRNA vaccines, to respond to this outbreak a certain way, but the virus, having encountered the vaccine in others, adapted to get around the vaccine so it could survive. The vaccinated actually caused this mutation, CAUSED this new variant. And now that the immune systems of the vaccinated have been “taught” to handle the virus a specific way, that way is now . . . wrong. The vaccinated must now take far greater precautions than the un-vaccinated. Because if an un-vaxed person catches OMICRON, their immune system will handle it like it handles any other disease.  But if a VACCINATED person catches OMICRON, their immune system will handle it wrong, and they will get far sicker and perhaps die.
— “Official numbers: 95.58% of Omicron cases — fully vax’d!” Hal Turner Radio Show, December 30, 2021

Q: Why don’t the “Covid vaccines” prevent viral infection or transmission?
A: They were never made to, and cannot compete with the superior protection of a strong immune system. Yet these “vaccines” have injured or killed many people.

Fully vaccinated people who get a COVID-19 “breakthrough” infection can spread the virus to others even if they are not symptomatic, Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky told CNN on Thursday. She warned that an autumn/winter surge in the COVID “Delta” variant could again see hundreds of thousands of cases per day. “Our vaccines are working exceptionally well,” she said. “They continue to work well with ‘Delta’ with regard to severe illness and death, but what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”
— “CDC Director: Vaccines no longer prevent you from spreading COVID,” Tim Hains, RealClearPolitics, August 6, 2021

The reason natural immunity is superior to vaccine-induced immunity is because viruses contain five different proteins. The COVID vaccine induces antibodies against just one of those proteins, the spike protein, and no T cell immunity. When you’re infected with the whole virus, you develop antibodies against all parts of the virus, plus memory T cells. This also means natural immunity offers better protection against variants, as it recognizes several parts of the virus. If there are significant alternations to the spike protein, as with the Delta variant, vaccine-induced immunity can be evaded. Not so with natural immunity, as the other proteins are still recognized and attacked.
— “Is natural immunity more effective than the COVID-19 shot?” Dr. Joseph Mercola, January 2, 2022

The CDC’s latest count of deaths attributed to COVID-19 vaccines is nearly 20,000, but a study by researchers at Columbia University estimates the actual number is 20 times higher. The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, or VAERS, reports 19,886 deaths, 102,857 hospitalizations and a total of 946,461 adverse events due to COVID-19 vaccines through Dec. 3. If the Columbia study’s underreporting factor is correct, it would mean that there are nearly 400,000 deaths due to COVID-19 vaccines … The researchers said the study “suggests the risks of COVID vaccines and boosters outweigh the benefits in children, young adults and older adults with low occupational risk or previous coronavirus exposure.”
— “Columbia study: True U.S. COVID vaccine death count is 400,000,” Art Moore, WND.com, December 15, 2021

Scott Davison, the CEO of OneAmerica, a $100 billion insurance company based out of Indiana, has come out publicly and stated that based on life insurance claims, the death rate has skyrocketed an unprecedented 40% among those between the ages of 18 and 64, based on the 3rd quarter and into the 4th quarter of 2021.

Q: Why don’t paper and cloth masks prevent transmission of viruses?A: Viruses pass through masks’ large holes. And the N95 masks won’t work either.

…masks do not prevent community transmission of respiratory viruses. Between 2008 and 2020, 12 consecutive randomized controlled trials of community masking, conducted among approximately 18,000 persons worldwide, established that this intervention does not reduce community respiratory virus transmission, including COVID-19 transmission.
— “Why forcing unvaccinated students to wear cloth masks is anti-science,” The Federalist, August 18, 2021

Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids. There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure.
— “Masks don’t stop viruses – the proof,” Ben Armstrong, WSAU Radio, July 31, 2020

COVID-19 can be transmitted between people who are standing more than four feet apart, even if they are wearing a mask, a new study has found. The research, published in Physics of Fluids, notes that face coverings alone do not prevent droplets of fluid that are projected by a cough…
Coronavirus can still pass between face mask wearers — even when they’re 4 feet apart: study,” Fox News, June 16, 2020

New findings reported Tuesday in a University of Louisville study challenge what has been the prevailing belief that mask mandates are necessary to slow the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. The study notes that “80% of US states mandated masks during the COVID-19 pandemic” and while “mandates induced greater mask compliance, [they] did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low (minima) or high (maxima).” Among other things, the study—conducted using data from the CDC covering multiple seasons—reports that “mask mandates and use are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread among US states.”
— “Masks didn’t slow COVID spread: New study,” Townhall, May 26, 2021

“Don’t wear a cloth mask. Cloth masks are little more than facial decorations. There’s no place for them in light of Omicron.”
— CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, December 21, 2021

Surgical mask … does NOT provide the wearer with a reliable level of protection from inhaling airborne particles and is not considered respiratory protection.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Chitra Durgam, December 22, 2021

The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material.
— “Fauci said masks ‘not really effective in keeping out virus,’ email reveals,” Newsweek, June 2, 2021

People with chronic respiratory, cardiac, or other medical conditions that make breathing difficult should check with their health care provider before using an N95 respirator because the N95 respirator can make it more difficult for the wearer to breathe. Some models have exhalation valves that can make breathing out easier and help reduce heat build-up. Note that N95 respirators with exhalation valves should not be used when sterile conditions are needed. All FDA-cleared N95 respirators are labeled as “single-use,” disposable devices. If your respirator is damaged or soiled, or if breathing becomes difficult, you should remove the respirator, discard it properly, and replace it with a new one. To safely discard your N95 respirator, place it in a plastic bag and put it in the trash. Wash your hands after handling the used respirator. N95 respirators are not designed for children or people with facial hair. Because a proper fit cannot be achieved on children and people with facial hair, the N95 respirator may not provide full protection.

NOTE: Therefore, the Los Angeles County “public health officer” order (issued late on Friday, December 31) to “mandate” face masks is unscientific. For all practical purposes, neither paper nor cloth nor N95 masks will block infection. And private schools should definitely not comply with this largely unenforceable “order”:

Employees at all Los Angeles County public and private schools will have to wear medical grade masks at work and students and staff must wear masks outdoors in crowded spaces under tightened rules issued in anticipation of classes beginning Monday amid a major surge of the highly contagious Omicron variant of the coronavirus … Masks must be worn outdoors “in crowded spaces where physical distancing is not feasible” except when actively eating and drinking. In the fall, outdoor masking was not required, although individual districts could do so. L.A. Unified — the nation’s second-largest district — was among the school systems that required outdoor masking. The county letter also recommended — but did not require — that students wear higher-grade, not cloth, masks and urged anyone eligible to get a booster dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

Q: Will the U.S. Supreme Court uphold medical freedom or religious freedom?
A: It’s plausible — the first hearing for SCOTUS and vaccine mandates is Jan. 7.

Lawsuits based on medical freedom and religious freedom by hospital employees, police officers, firefighters, college professors, parents, business owners, military personnel, and more are working their way to the U.S. Supreme Court. And there are many others arguing in their state courts.
Friday morning, January 7, the U.S. Supreme Court — for the first time — will hear oral arguments on our modern medical “mandates.” One consolidated case is about the medical freedom and religious freedom rights of large businesses (challenging Biden & Co.’s OSHA “the jab or your job” mandate). The other consolidated case is about the rights of hospitals and hospital employees to say no to “the jab or your job.”

Also on its way to the nation’s high court is Liberty Counsel’s class action lawsuit representing the religious rights of “all five branches of the military, federal employees, and federal civilian contractors who have been unlawfully mandated to get the COVID shots or face dishonorable discharge from the military or termination from employment.”

While Friday’s OSHA and hospital employees cases are being heard on an accelerated basis, which portends the likelihood of a decision this very month, whichever “medical mandate” cases SCOTUS hears this winter and spring will be decided by the first or second week of summer.

SaveCalifornia.com wants a broad ruling that all medical treatment — including injections — must be voluntary. If not that, we desperately need at least religious exemptions to vaccines upheld nationwide.

Q: Will the medical tyranny ever end?
A: Believe it or not, some establishment voices imply it must end soon.

‘The days of lockdown are gone. We’re going forward. We’re not going back. That’s not how you manage this virus. The Prime Minister said the dominant Omicron variant was 75 per cent less severe than the Delta strain and could be publicly managed like other infectious diseases such as flu … The Prime Minister also revealed he will talk to the premiers this week about agreeing on a definition of Covid hospitalisation amid fears the numbers are artificially high and giving a false picture. ‘There are people being counted as being in hospital for Covid when they didn’t go there for Covid, they went there for some other reason,’ Mr Morrison said … He concluded by saying Covid will eventually be treated like flu and Australians can move on with their lives. ‘We can ultimately manage this like any other infectious disease. That’s the pathway out,’ he said.

Acknowledging that the number of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 has been overstated, New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul announced hospitals now must clarify if patients with the novel coronavirus came to the hospital due to symptoms of COVID-19 or because of another health issue. Saying she wants to “always be honest with New Yorkers about how bad this is,” Hochul said the state had reached “a critical moment” and “we’re going to start asking some questions.” “We talked about the hospitalizations. I have always wondered, we’re looking at the hospitalizations of people testing positive in a hospital,” she said Monday. “Is that person in the hospital because of COVID or did they show up there and are routinely tested and showing positive and they may have been asymptomatic or even just had the sniffles?” An example, she said, someone who gets in a car accident, goes to the emergency room and tests positive for COVID.

New York Times columnist who has been closely following the COVID-19 pandemic observes that the data indicate the new omicron variant is roughly at the same risk level as the seasonal flu. David Leonhardt writes that the “latest evidence about Covid is largely positive.” … “A few weeks ago, many experts and journalists were warning that the initial evidence from South Africa — suggesting that Omicron was milder than other variants — might turn out to be a mirage. It has turned out to be real,” he said. Because omicron is “milder than earlier versions of the virus, Covid now appears to present less threat to most vaccinated elderly people than the annual flu does,” he wrote.

Expect the surge in infections by the omicron variant of COVID-19 to peak soon. Omicron has spread across the U.S., after starting in the Northeast in mid-December. But the fast rise may also mean the variant is short-lived. South Africa, where omicron originated and surged in late November, saw a peak and a rapid decline in infections after three weeks. It has been almost three weeks since the omicron surge began in the U.S.

NOTE: California, run by unscientific, unconstitutional, anti-people Newsom & Co., will likely be the last to lift their “mandates,” which makes relief from SCOTUS vital.

Californians will have to keep wearing face masks indoors past Valentine’s Day regardless of vaccination, the state’s top health official said Wednesday as COVID-19 cases reached a new record fueled by the fast-spreading omicron variant. Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said the face mask mandate will be extended a month to Feb. 15 and reevaluated then.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: This unscientific California Democrat masking “guideline” is despite zero verifiable deaths from Omicron (even the latest “Omicron death” claim from India is of a woman who died from a stroke, not from a virus). And despite Newsom & Co. violating all standards of fact-based epidemiology, even their own “case” rate is crashing this week and it’s apparent that Newsom has made yet another rash, unscientific, anti-people decision. Which is why SaveCalifornia.com urges people to protect their health, life, and liberties by ignoring Newsom’s useless masking “guideline” and refusing to participate in this harmful medical tyranny of the Democrats.

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in Matthew 5:14-16
