ALERT: Don’t let them dehumanize you

Monday, April 19, 2021, 9:15 am | Randy Thomasson

The “lockdown” idea is new — and unproven, until now. As you know, “lockdowns” violate your God-given liberties and trample your hard-won, hard-defended U.S. constitutional rights. And they didn’t stop Covid transmission. Yet these inhuman, unconstitutional, unnecessary lockdowns have been very successful in dehumanizing people, depressing children, ripping away American birthrights, stealing livelihoods, and destroying and redefining life as we know it.

Then came the forced masking of people — another unproven “order.” For the average mask doesn’t protect against Covid or the flu or anything else, since very small particles pierce mask pores. In fact, the only masks that do work (the majority of the time) are surgical N95 masks — but only if they are carefully fitted to each user’s face and replaced daily, along with personal training for each user.

As destructive as lockdowns are, mask mandates are even more devilish — preventing you from buying or selling without one. The Anti-Christ would be proud. Even otherwise reasonable people imposed masks on themselves and upon others. This was the cult-like result of depending on unscientific, politically-correct authorities. Sadly, most people haven’t heard the real virus science proving tyrannical orders to “lockdown,” “mask up,” “social distance,” and “disinfect surfaces” don’t work — and aren’t permitted under the U.S. Constitution.

And now, the ultimate goal of the New Communists: a worldwide “health” database enabling them to keep track of you, permit you, limit you, and give you permanent status as a “number.”

None of this is needed and only fools want it. So be wise and courageous! Resist these “new normals,” which dehumanize you and your family, and trample your God-given liberties and constitutional rights.

Orange County is the epicenter of the threat of “vaccine tracking” in California. What’s happening is this establishment-run county wants to develop tracking software, so tyrannical companies will use it to ban principled people who don’t take the vaccine due to health concerns from traveling on a plane, train, or bus, or from entering sporting events or other entertainment venues, and even from shopping (if big store chains adopt this unnecessary and unscientific ban).

Because Orange County’s public health officer, Dr. Clayton Chau, is trying to make his county’s “vaccine database” the model for California and beyond, it’s very important for you to add your voice against it.

SaveCalifornia.com received this latest alert from Orange County activists, which we’re providing to you. Please take action, no matter where you live.

However, if you live outside of Orange County, please leave your voicemails during non-business hours, do not leave your address or contact information, and do not reply to anything you receive from supervisors’ offices. This suggested letter can also provide talking points for you to write elsewhere (especially on Orange County media outlets).

CALL TO ACTION

Orange County is “piloting” a vaccine passport program via the Othena App.
The OC Board of Supervisors met on April 13, and approved $3.8 million in taxpayer money to fund “vaccine verification” development for the app despite hundreds of residents demanding not to.

PLEASE CALL AND EMAIL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD

Andrew Do 714-834-3110 Andrew.Do@ocgov.com
Doug Chaffee 714-834-3440 Fourth.District@ocgov.com
Katrina Foley 714-834-3220 Second.District@ocgov.com
Donald Wagner 714-834-3330 Donald.Wagner@ocgov.com
Lisa Bartlett 714-834-3550 Lisa.Bartlett@ocgov.com

I am calling/writing to add my voice to the many Orange County residents who have already opposed your approval of expanding the Othena App to include infrastructure for “vaccine verification.” Aside from the blatant violation of HIPAA, by using taxpayer dollars to fund this tech infrastructure development, you are by, by default, allowing businesses to use this “Composite passport” technology to medically discriminate against the very people who are paying for it. On Tuesday, April 13, many residents demanded you put a stop to this development and you proceeded against the will of the people.

We the People request the following action with regards to the app development:

Effective immediately, cancel the contract between the OC Health Care Agency and Composite Apps, Inc.

Effective immediately, suspend the emergency order for the county. Under this order, you have signed over your elected power to one person, Health Director Chau. He has mismanaged and abused the authority granted to him long enough.

Effective immediately, I request the resignation or termination of Health Director Chau for implementing this contractual agreement to weaponize the Composite App technology against the very people paying for it. It was done in secret, it is medically discriminatory, and is a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars.

“…fight the urge that’s sweeping the globe to mandate people taking an experimental biological agent. This is a big fight we have on our hands. It’s not really the government first that we’re concerned about. We’re very concerned about private businesses mandating this — employers, schools, and travel, airlines in particular. You can imagine if all the airlines got together — the CEOS — and said, “you know what, we’re just going to mandate this” — the six biggest ones got together and said that. It’s just like the masks, right? You can’t avoid their mandates. This is a very big problem.”

The unscientific ‘health officer’ of Los Angeles County

Saturday, March 13, 2021, 11:35 am | Randy Thomasson

Here’s why you must not blindly follow human “authorities,” but must stubbornly follow the evidence as a free thinker.

Barbara Ferrer, the tyrannical “health officer” of Los Angeles County, who for months has “ordered” the shutting down and masking up of nearly everything and everyone, is now quoting junk science as her justification.

As reported March 9, 2021 in the Los Angeles Times (which is also pushing junk science):

“As we plan to move into the red tier, where additional reopenings will be permitted, we’re looking closely at the science to understand what practices can help reduce community transmission of COVID-19,” Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said. She pointed to a study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which found that the rate of COVID-19 deaths slowed in counties where states required masks, and sped up in counties where states allowed on-site restaurant dining. That’s something that we’ll need to take into account as we begin more reopenings in our restaurants,” she said.

Note how Ferrer calls private businesses that she (and L.A.’s ruling Democrat county supervisors) are greatly harming “our restaurants”? Does she think the government owns these restaurants and other small businesses, like big-government socialists who are growing into full-fledged communists?

But the main deception here is that Ferrer and the Los Angeles County’s Democrat supervisors, along with the misnamed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are all pushing a sham study to try to justify their mask mandates.

On March 4, 2021, the careful researchers of the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) published a scathing review of the CDC’s mask-promoting agenda, entitled “The CDC’s Mask Mandate Study: Debunked.” The article analyzed CDC’s late February report, which served as a basis for CDC’s early March “study,” which then became Ferrer’s public claim.

In addition to providing numerous recent high-quality case-controlled studies demonstrating that face masks either don’t stop the spread of Covid or that general-public masks might actually increase its transmission, the AIER article explains the “snow job” that CDC is doing on the unsuspecting public:

En face, CDC’s conclusion on mandates might appear to make sense unless one is familiar with the scientific data pertaining to the ineffectiveness of masking for prevention of the spread of Covid-19 (e.g. references 123456789101112131415) in which case the findings in fact contradict most of what is now known. The CDC’s conclusion might have made more sense if the real-world evidence we have about mandates did not actually exist (e.g. references 1234). 

Does the CDC really think that masks prevent the wearer from getting Covid, or from spreading it to others? The CDC admits that the scientific evidence is mixed, as their most recent report glosses over many unanswered scientific questions. But even if it were clear – or clear enough – as a scientific matter that masks properly used could reduce transmission, it is a leap to conclude that a governmental mandate to wear masks will do more good than harm, even as a strictly biological or epidemiological matter. Mask mandates may not be followed; masks worn as a result of a mandate may not be used properly; some mask practices like double masking can do harm, particularly to children; and even if a mask mandate results in some increased number of masks being worn and worn properly, the mandate and the associated publicity may reduce the public’s attention to other more effective safeguards, such as meticulous hygiene practices. 

Thus, it is not surprising that the CDC’s own recent conclusion on the use of nonpharmaceutical measures such as face masks in pandemic influenza, warned that scientific “evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission…” Moreover, in the WHO’s 2019 guidance document on nonpharmaceutical public health measures in a pandemic, they reported as to face masks that “there is no evidence that this is effective in reducing transmission…” Similarly, in the fine print to a recent double-blind, double-masking simulation the CDC stated that “The findings of these simulations [supporting mask usage] should neither be generalized to the effectiveness …nor interpreted as being representative of the effectiveness of these masks when worn in real-world settings.”

AIER summarized six “main scientific shortcomings or analytical ambiguities” in the CDC report:

1. The study does not factor in contributing factors of a seasonal increase in sunlight (when people soak up healthy Vitamin D) or school closures or social distancing practices.

2. It does not compare infection, sickness, or death rates between states with or without mask mandates.

3. It uses an unreliable formula to calculate conclusions.

4. It’s based on limited locations within a state and does not use statewide data.

5. It ignores the bulk of high-qualify case-controlled analyses on masks, which have “found no statistically or clinically significant impact of mask-use in regard to the rate of infection.”

6. It ignores real-world experience showing mask mandates accompanying a higher transmission rate.

So now you know. “Public health authorities,” from Tony Fauci on down, who claim wearing a face mask will prevent Covid transmission, are either ignorantly misleading you or blatantly lying to you. Yet when you follow the evidence and do your own critical thinking, you’ll logically conclude that wearing a mask doesn’t help you, but instead hurts and dehumanizes you.

If you’re still not convinced, why did the World Health Organization (WHO), the CDC, Tony Fauci, and even the U.S. Surgeon General all publicly state in February or March of 2020 that face masks for the general public will not prevent transmission of Covid? Because that was before face masks became politically-correct as a useful agenda for the Radical Left to “reset society” — and in the process, destroy free enterprise (capitalism), people’s God-given natural rights, and your American constitutional rights.

During a recent United Nations video conference, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau became the latest world leader to call for an economic “reset” in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Great Reset is a proposal by the World Economic Forum (WEF) to “reset” the global capitalist economy by replacing it with one that embraces socialist principles and policies. The plan, supported by a number of prominent political, business, and civil leaders, includes collective property ownership, overhauling the energy sector, and massive wealth redistribution on a global scale. Echoing other advocates of “The Great Reset,” Trudeau explains how the COVID-19 pandemic has “laid bare fundamental gaps and inequities within our societies.” “This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset,” Trudeau said. “This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality and climate change.” “Justin Trudeau Latest World Leader to Call for The Great Reset,” Nov. 16, 2020

Follow the science on Covid

Saturday, February 20, 2021, 9:37 am | Randy Thomasson

You keep hearing from the “authorities” that they’re following the “science” and the “data.” But are they?

Then why continue with any lockdowns at all? As California’s honest Covid expert, Dr. Scott Atlas, explains:

Even after almost a year, the pandemic still paralyzes our country. Despite all efforts, there has been an undeniable failure to stop cases from rapidly escalating and preventing hospitalizations and death. Here’s the reality — almost all states and major cities, with a handful of exceptions, have implemented severe restrictions for many months, including closures of businesses and in-person school, mobility restrictions and curfews, quarantines, limits on group gatherings, and mask mandates dating back to at least the summer. These measures did not significantly change the typical pattern or damage from the SARS2 virus. President Biden openly admitted as much in his speech to the nation on Jan. 22, when he said “there is nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.” Instead of rethinking the results of implemented policies, many want to blame those who opposed lockdowns and mandates for the failure of the very lockdowns and mandates that were widely implemented. 

And why trust in masks when they don’t “protect” you? Follow the science with Dr. Paul Alexander:

The question on whether to wear a face mask or not during the Covid-19 pandemic remains emotional and contentious. Why? This question about the utility of face coverings (which has taken on a talisman-like life) is now overwrought with steep politicization regardless of political affiliation (e.g. republican or liberal/democrat). 

Importantly, the evidence just is and was not there to support mask use for asymptomatic people to stop viral spread during a pandemic. While the evidence may seem conflicted, the evidence (including the peer-reviewed evidence) actually does not support its use and leans heavily toward masks having no significant impact in stopping spread of the Covid virus. 

In fact, it is not unreasonable at this time to conclude that surgical and cloth masks, used as they currently are, have absolutely no impact on controlling the transmission of Covid-19 virus, and current evidence implies that face masks can be actually harmful. All this to say and as so comprehensively documented by Dr. Roger W. Koops in a recent American Institute of Economic Research (AIER) publication, there is no clear scientific evidence that masks (surgical or cloth) work to mitigate risk to the wearer or to those coming into contact with the wearer, as they are currently worn in everyday life and specifically as we refer to Covid-19.

In 2020, SaveCalifornia.com honored the “science” and “data,” including that from October 2020 demonstrating face masks didn’t work and should not be mandated. But those who consume Big Media lies never learned this fact, so they’re ignorantly covering their faces every day.

And why keep school classrooms closed? The science and data prove hardly any children are threatened by Covid, and commonly have no symptoms, and rarely spread it to adults.

Infected children carry an extremely low viral load, have a 99.997% survivability rate, and don’t easily spread Covid. In early November, a very large study in Great Britain found no school should have ever been closed.

California researcher Victor Davis Hanson knew in July 2020 that all school classrooms should be fully reopened without Covid restrictions, something the regular media ignored.

During the presidential campaign, Hanson said: “[Biden is saying] ‘I reject the scientific consensus of child psychologists, sociologists and education experts who all unanimously want kids to go back to school and I reject the science that says that children are neither likely to be infected nor to spread the infection,’ … The science is clear. The science says kids can go back without a lot of threat and people who are in the education professions, they can stay home and do things by tele-learning,” he said. “What Joe Biden is talking about is a political — not a scientific or rational statement.”

Yet the CDC is substituting biased teacher-union agendas for the hard science:
CDC admits it catered to teachers unions with political school reopening guidelines
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky publicly admitted that the agency’s new school reopening guidelines were informed by the opinions of anti-in-person-learning teachers unions.

ACTION: Follow the science: Fully reopen your small business, your church building, and every school classroom. And consider not wearing a mask, because they don’t protect you, hurt your immune system, and teach children what’s abnormal and unnecessary is somehow “normal” and “necessary.”
