California has 58 counties. In 2018, John Cox, the Republican candidate for governor, won 28 counties; of those, 6 have rebelled against Democrat Gavin Newsom’s destructive lockdown.
Do you believe the “cure” of the lockdown is worse than COVID-19 itself? Then you’re invited to join SaveCalifornia.com’s campaign to fully reopen California. The strongest and fastest way to take back territory is by lobbying boards of county supervisors.
Already, six conservative counties have rebelled against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s destructive lockdown, and are permitting most, if not all, businesses to reopen. There are 22 remaining counties that voted Republican. Which ones can you help to declare liberty?
PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION
Copy and paste SaveCalifornia.com’s message into your own email and send to the county supervisors in 22 conservative counties won by Republican John Cox in the 2018 governor’s race. We’ve found their email addresses to make this easy. Unless you’re emailing your own county supervisors, you should not reveal your name, address, or any other identifying information, if possible. Type a relevant subject line, such as “Fully open _____ County now.” It is OK to email all five supervisors of a particular county at the same time.
COPY OR EDIT OUR SUGGESTED MESSAGE (this is somewhat “hard,” since these boards are insensitive and irresponsible to how they’re hurting real people):
I strongly urge you to immediately and fully end this harmful, unnecessary lockdown, as Modoc, Sutter, Yuba, Stanislaus, Kings, Tulare, and Colusa counties have done. A continued lockdown makes no sense when COVID-19’s death rate is 3X lower than the seasonal flu, when the COVID-19 recovery rate is above 97%, and when COVID-19 death counts are being fraudulently padded. People are being financially destroyed. Attempted suicide, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and child abuse are all going up. Please put a stop to this and don’t hide behind your appointed health officer. You represent us and need to protect our livelihoods. Fully lift the lockdown now, so everyone can get back to work right away.

WATCH THIS APRIL 22, 2020 EVIDENCE-, LOGIC-, AND LOVE-BASED MEDIA BRIEFING BY BAKERSFIELD PHYSICIANS DR. DAN ERICKSON AND DR. ARTIN MASSIHI (LENGTH 1:06). THESE HONEST AND BRAVE DOCTORS ARE BEING SLAMMED BY THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT, WHICH DEMANDS AN INDEFINITE, UNIVERSAL LOCKDOWN FOR A VIRUS SIMILAR TO THE SEASONAL FLU
April 27, 2020 update. The hour-long video posted on a news station’s YouTube page has been yanked. Apparently, what is considered news is now decided by YouTube and its parent company, Google. I am linking here to the April 22 news report of the same ABC affiliate in Bakersfield. This 3-minute piece by a reporter who was obviously impressed by the evidence of Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi contains some good sound bites. And I’m very glad I took notes (see below) from the doctors’ full media briefing before the anti-free-speech Tech Tyrants yanked it.
April 28, 2020 update: Good news, someone else has posted the physicians’ video on YouTube. Watch it here before it’s yanked again. And we’re happy to have also found the entire video on the website of a different TV station, and have embedded the video code at the top of this post.
You have NOT been given good facts about COVID-19 by the Big Media.
But now, new testing and fatalities data from Stanford University, USC, and the County of Los Angeles show the death rate is much lower than previously predicted and is comparable to the two seasonal flu strains. Yet the COVID-19 death rate is even lower than this latest data reports, since many hospitals are artificially inflating COVID-19 deaths.
Dr. Dan Erickson, M.D. and Dr. Artin Massihi, M.D. are former emergency room physicians. They own Accelerated Urgent Care, which has several clinics in Bakersfield. In Kern County, they are the top tester of COVID-19, conducting 5,000+ tests. Over the last two months, they’ve been intensely studying COVID-19 and those infected with the virus. And these honest, expert doctors conclude that, based on the latest data, the lockdown is not justified and should be immediately lifted.
The physicians’ April 22, 2020 briefing for Bakersfield media was posted on YouTube by KERO Channel 23.
SEE AND SHARE THIS FACT-FILLED VIDEO Part 1 (51:55) Part 2 (12:27)
Highlights of this medical briefing:
Of the 5000+ people they’ve tested for COVID-19 in Kern County, 6.45% were positive. Statewide on April 21, there were an estimated 12% of Californians infected, a low 0.03%death rate among those infected, with 96-97% of infected persons completely recovering.
Dr. Erickson stressed several times that with COVID-19 worldwide, he’s seeing “millions of cases; small amount of death.” (Post-briefing note: This trend is also seen in New York state, where new data reported April 23 shows a nearly 14% infection rate, which dramatically reduces the state’s COVID-19 death rate.)
Noting there are 50-60 thousand annual flu deaths in the U.S., and a flu death rate of 0.1%, Dr. Erickson said COVID-19 is “similar in prevalence and death rate to flu.” Looking worldwide at nations that “lock down” and those that don’t [such as Sweden], Dr. Erickson said, “It is not statistically significant whether you lock down or not. So why do we do it?”
What’s more, Dr. Erickson said, “Our immune systems have weakened” from the lockdown. “When I look at the basic tenets that we know of microbiology, and I say, ‘Do we need to still shelter in place?’ Our answer is emphatically no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically no. Do we need to test them, and get them back to work? Yes, we do. The secondary effects that we went over — the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue — all these are, in our opinion, a significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu we have every year.”
Dr. Erickson also said:
“We also need to put measures in place so economic shutdown like this does not happen again.”
“We want to make sure we understand that quarantining the sick is what we do, not quarantining the healthy.”
“We need to make sure that if you’re going to dance on someone’s constitutional rights, you better have a good reason. You better have a really good scientific reason, and not just theory.”
“The data is showing us it’s time to lift the lockdown.”
Dr. Erickson revealed that most physicians and health officials in California that he’s talked to agree with these facts, but that they’re all waiting for Governor Gavin Newsom to agree.
Dr. Erickson continued, saying:
“Coronavirus has shown to be very contagious…but the actual cause of death and the disease cycle is similar to what we’re seeing from the flu, with more of a respiratory component.”
“Eventually we treat this like we treat flu, which is, if you have the flu and you’re feeling fevery and body aches, you stay home. If you have coughing or shortness of breath — Covid is more of a respiratory thing — you stay home … This virus is the same [similar to recovering from the flu]. You have Covid, go home; let it resolve, and come back.”
“From what we’ve seen right now, it’s time to open back up. The science says it is. The models we have been using from predictions to predict the amount of disease are not accurate. This information [pointing to the latest testing evidence] is accurate. It models the flu. Let’s go back to work. That’s what the data is saying — not models. Data is saying that.”
“Big businesses are open, little businesses are not, there’s no science behind that.”
Also speaking was Dr. Artin Massihi, who said social distancing was needed initially, “but now that we have the data, we’re seeing that 96, 97 percent of patients completely recover. And those 4 percent of patients that died have over 90% comorbidities … heart failure, emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, they’re on immunomodulating medications, they’re immunodeficient, HIV — these are the people that are dying. You get some healthy people who die, but that’s an infinitesimal number — tiny.”
Near the media briefing’s conclusion, Dr. Erickson warned about unscientific public policies. “At what point, who says what’s safe?” he said. “Are you smart enough to know what’s safe for you, or is the government going to tell you what’s safe for you? As soon as they use the word ‘safe,’ that means control: ‘We know what’s safe for you … you’re too dumb to understand disease … you see, we know what’s safe.'”
Finally, Dr. Erickson advised people to not accept government-imposed lockdowns. “They’re going to use this model for different things. We get a bomb threat from China; everybody stay in their homes for 3 months — what? They are using this to see how much freedom can they take from you, and will you roll over and stay in your house — and it’s working.”
We are beginning to see figures on the extent of the epidemic and the faulty figures fed us by all government agencies and the conventional controlled media. From CNBC comes revelations that many, many more people in LA County have been exposed to, and have immunity to COVID than heretofore believed, 55 times in fact. This would drop the mortality rate by 50-fold and suggest that we have way, way overreacted to the outbreak. If these numbers are true, and other reports I’ve posted here suggest the same, the SARS COVID-2 virus literally tore through the population incredibly fast. Even with a quite low mortality rate, the lightning speed hit us fast and gave the ILLUSION of a terrifying horror about to befall us. But with this lightning speed, it strongly suggests that the worst is behind us and that officials overplayed their hand. Dr. Robert Rowen, M.D. in Santa Rosa, California
If the always-paid government bureaucracy wanted to kill off capitalism, they’re not wasting this opportunity. For every day, small businesses fail because they “aren’t open.”
Yet if you stay closed like the government wants, you might be committing financial suicide. Ask yourself — how long can you go without income?
Small business owners shouldn’t be overly-afraid of the government. Have you heard of a single business owner being fined for staying fully open during the virus scare? I haven’t. And so what if you’re fined? Wouldn’t a couple hundred dollars be a small price to pay compared to all the value you’ll receive by staying open?
And consider the various “bugs” that can be on every public door handle — whether it’s coronavirus, the flu, stomach flu, strep throat, pink eye, or the common cold. Which is why small business owners who are “open for business” should exercise (and require from their customers) an improved level of good hygiene.
What’s more, the “cure” for COVID-19 might already be here. On Sunday, the FDA approved the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine sulfate. Millions of doses are being donated to the nation’s hospitals right now.
Is the COVID-19 lockdown overkill? One decade ago, America had another epidemic. But the 2009-2010 swine flu occurred when there was a Democrat in the White House, who the Big Media protected, and the opposition party Republicans did not politicize the virus.
The swine flu’s death toll was higher than (or some might argue, similar to) COVID-19. “According to the CDC from April 2009 to April 2010 there were about 60.8 million cases of the swine flu with 12,469 deaths in the United States. Unlike COVID-19, swine flu targeted the younger population, who health officials said had little to no existing immunity.” Source
Yet now we have a Republican president, who the Big Media hates, and who the opposition party Democrats seem to blame for everything. They unsuccessfully tried to oust him twice. Is it the Big Media’s turn to defeat Trump by eliminating his booming economy?
We are now at a point where the cure is worse than the disease. As R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. wrote a week ago: “… we need not destroy our economy over this pandemic …The state we had arrived at by last weekend was explained cogently by Bob Luddy, the CEO and founder of CaptiveAire, in The American Spectator on Monday. He wrote: “Our leaders are creating an economic crisis and a major national security risk with limited data. The cure is far worse than any perceived impact by COVID-19.”
For small business owners, and workers who’ve been laid off without pay, the big question is how much more financial bleeding can you stand? Big stores like Wal-Mart and Target haven’t closed. So why must you?
For the sake of your constitutional rights, your God-given ownership rights, your family, and your in-born need to succeed, I encourage you to be “open for business,” along with taking wise steps of good hygiene. Don’t let the establishment destroy your livelihood!
