Prostitution camp provided women for Petersen adoptions

Excerpts:
A prostitution camp in the Marshall Islands provided many of the birth mothers caught up in former Maricopa County Assessor Paul Petersen’s allegedly illegal adoption business, according to statements attributed to his co-defendant in a warrant to seize his assets.
When she was arrested in August, Lynwood Jennet, Petersen’s co-defendant in his criminal case and his fixer in the Marshall Islands, told police that the majority of women she had recently helped Petersen recruit came from a prostitution camp where girls as young as 15 or 16 did sex work in exchange for food and housing.
Jennet said when the girls at the prostitution camp would get pregnant, she would receive a call (the name of the caller was redacted in the documents) and she would contact Petersen.
“Lynwood was asked who runs the camp, Lynwood said it was the government or businessmen,” Department of Public Safety Detective Samuel Hunt, who interrogated Jennet following her arrest, said in the sworn affidavit, which was recently unsealed.
Jennet described the camp as a place where “young girls wait for fishermen to come and dock to do shopping and what not.”
The camp was on the main island of the Marshall Islands, a small island country in the Pacific Ocean where Petersen did his Mormon mission and later ran his adoption business in violation of a treaty between the U.S. and the Marshall Islands that allows islanders to visit the U.S. for any reason without needing a visa, except they cannot come to the U.S. to offer a baby for adoption.
That provision of the treaty exists because of a long history of exploitation of Marshallese women by American adoption agencies. Petersen charged upwards of $35,000 for his adoption services, and paid the mothers, through a third party, around $10,000 per baby, though he would often skim expenses out of the final payments, the affidavit stated.

healthimpactnews--2020-03-26--Stop the Fear-Mongering! 12 Medical Scientists Speak Out on COVID19 Responses

Fear over the coronavirus is gripping the nation and world , as within a short period of time life around the globe has drastically changed very suddenly .
The main question facing everyone in the U.S. today is : How serious is this ?
Is the response the government is making right now consistent with the threat this virus presents ?
Some are proposing that anyone in the media who dares to question the official narrative should be silenced for the sake of “ public health.
” Facebook , for example , took strong actions against Health Impact News by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” mainly by publishing the views of Dr. Andrew W. Saul , Editor of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service , who published news about successful intravenous Vitamin C therapy which had started in China .
See : More Vitamin C Studies Approved in China to Fight Coronavirus : Therapy Censored in U.S. And yet this week , the New York Post reported that the same therapy had started at hospitals in New York City .
See : New York Hospitals Treating Coronavirus Patients with Vitamin C With the Coronavirus situation affecting virtually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now , suppressing alternative information that goes against the “ mainstream ” narrative is a very dangerous precedent , and is a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution ’ s First Amendment which protects freedom of speech and freedom of the press .
It is especially concerning when one of my colleagues in the alternative media , without even contacting me directly , publicly demands that we retract one of our articles authored by a medical doctor , simply because this person believes his view of the current situation is the only correct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be an expert on medical science , which is why Health Impact News publishes alternative views by medical doctors and other scientists who are experts in their field .
During difficult days like the ones currently facing us , I believe the public has a right to read all sides of the issue and make up their own minds .
Caution is certainly prudent , but fear ?
Among all the Fear , Where is Faith in God ?
The opposite of fear is “ faith.
” Have we lost our way as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on our currency “ In God we Trust ” mean anything anymore ?
Faith in God does NOT mean we will not face difficult times .
On the contrary , often those who are most faithful face the most difficult trials in life .
Faith in God means we trust that there is a stronger power than ourselves controlling the affairs of humanity , and that if we trust in him , he will give us the strength to endure whatever trials come our way .
Quick decisions based on fear seldom turn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to know what is going to happen in the immediate future , and I do not claim to be a mouthpiece for God to tell you what to do .
My own personal belief system trusts God , and I also believe that in this point of history , being on this side of the death and resurrection of the Messiah Jesus Christ , whose sacrificial death on the cross paid the penalty for all of our sins , means that every single person can have a direct pipeline to God if they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a specific plan for your life , and only YOU can know that by seeking him out during these difficult days .
Don ’ t listen to me or anyone else who claims to know what God ’ s plan is for your life , because he is more than willing to lead you and guide you if you seek him out .
Ask and it will be given to you ; seek and you will find ; knock and the door will be opened to you .
For everyone who asks receives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to him who knocks , the door will be opened .
Which of you , if his son asks for bread , will give him a stone ?
Or if he asks for a fish , will give him a snake ?
If you , then , though you are evil , know how to give good gifts to your children , how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him !
( Matthew 7:7-11 ) I , for my part , will endeavor to give @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which will often contradict what the corporate-sponsored “ mainstream ” media reports , and may also contradict what others in the Alternative Media are writing .
For today , here are the perspectives of 12 medical scientists who are concerned about the current narrative being reported in the mainstream media .
Thanks to Off-Guardian.org for putting this together .
Dr Sucharit Bhakdi is a specialist in microbiology .
He was a professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene and one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
What he says : Dr Wolfgang Wodarg is a German physician specialising in Pulmonology , politician and former chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe .
In 2009 he called for an inquiry into alleged conflicts of interest surrounding the EU response to the Swine Flu pandemic .
What he says : Dr Joel Kettner is professor of Community Health Sciences and Surgery at Manitoba University , former Chief Public Health Officer for Manitoba province and Medical Director of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases .
What he says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this , anything anywhere near like this .
I ’ m not talking about the pandemic , because I ’ ve seen 30 of them , one every year .
It is called influenza .
And other respiratory illness viruses , we don ’ t always know what they are .
But I ’ ve never seen this reaction , and I ’ m trying to understand why .
I worry about the message to the public , about the fear of coming into contact with people , being in the same space @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having meetings with people .
I worry about many , many consequences related to that .
In Hubei , in the province of Hubei , where there has been the most cases and deaths by far , the actual number of cases reported is 1 per 1000 people and the actual rate of deaths reported is 1 per 20,000 .
So maybe that would help to put things into perspective .

As a physician , scientist and author he has made contributions to evidence-based medicine , epidemiology , data science @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he pioneered the field of meta-research .
He has shown that much of the published research does not meet good scientific standards of evidence .
What he says : Patients who have been tested for SARS-CoV-2 are disproportionately those with severe symptoms and bad outcomes .
As most health systems have limited testing capacity , selection bias may even worsen in the near future .
The one situation where an entire , closed population was tested was the Diamond Princess cruise ship and its quarantine passengers .
The case fatality rate there was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ largely elderly population , in which the death rate from Covid-19 is much higher .
Could the Covid-19 case fatality rate be that low ?
No , some say , pointing to the high rate in elderly people .
However , even some so-called mild or common-cold-type coronaviruses that have been known for decades can have case fatality rates as high as 8 % when they infect elderly people in nursing homes .
If we had not known about a new virus out there , and had not checked individuals with PCR tests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to “ influenza-like illness ” would not seem unusual this year .
At most , we might have casually noted that flu this season seems to be a bit worse than average .

Italy is known for its enormous morbidity in respiratory problems , more than three times any other European country .
In the US about 40,000 people die in a regular flu season and so far 40-50 people have died of the coronavirus , most of them in a nursing home in Kirkland , Washington .
In every country , more people die from regular flu compared with those who die from the coronavirus .
…there is a very good example that we all forget : the swine flu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that reached the world from Mexico and until today there is no vaccination against it .
But what ?
At that time there was no Facebook or there maybe was but it was still in its infancy .
The coronavirus , in contrast , is a virus with public relations .
Whoever thinks that governments end viruses is wrong .
Dr Pietro Vernazza is a Swiss physician specialising Infectious Diseases at the Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen and Professor of Health Policy .
We have reliable figures from Italy and a work by epidemiologists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ renowned science journal ‹Science› , which examined the spread in China .
This makes it clear that around 85 percent of all infections have occurred without anyone noticing the infection .
90 percent of the deceased patients are verifiably over 70 years old , 50 percent over 80 years .
In Italy , one in ten people diagnosed die , according to the findings of the Science publication , that is statistically one of every 1,000 people infected .
Each individual case is tragic , but often – similar to the flu season @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end of their lives .
If we close the schools , we will prevent the children from quickly becoming immune .
We should better integrate the scientific facts into the political decisions .
Frank Ulrich Montgomery is German radiologist , former President of the German Medical Association and Deputy Chairman of the World Medical Association .
I ’ m not a fan of lockdown .
Anyone who imposes something like this must also say when and how to pick it up again .
Since we have to assume that the virus will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I wonder when we will return to normal ?
You can ’ t keep schools and daycare centers closed until the end of the year .
Because it will take at least that long until we have a vaccine .
Italy has imposed a lockdown and has the opposite effect .
They quickly reached their capacity limits , but did not slow down the virus spread within the lockdown .

The new pathogen is not that dangerous , it is even less dangerous than Sars-1 .
The special thing is that Sars-CoV-2 replicates in the upper throat area and is therefore much more infectious because the virus jumps from throat to throat , so to speak .
But that is also an advantage : Because Sars-1 replicates in the deep lungs , it is not so infectious , but it definitely gets on the lungs , which makes it more dangerous .
You also have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Germany were exclusively old people .
In Heinsberg , for example , a 78-year-old man with previous illnesses died of heart failure , and that without Sars-2 lung involvement .

It is especially concerning when one of my colleagues in the alternative media, without even contacting me directly, publicly demands that we retract one of our articles authored by a medical doctor, simply because this person believes his view of the current situation is the only correct view.

I, for my part, will endeavor to give you as much information as possible, which will often contradict what the corporate-sponsored “mainstream” media reports, and may also contradict what others in the Alternative Media are writing.
For today, here are the perspectives of 12 medical scientists who are concerned about the current narrative being reported in the mainstream media.
Thanks to Off-Guardian.org for putting this together.
12 Experts Questioning the Coronavirus Panic
Dr Sucharit Bhakdi is a specialist in microbiology. He was a professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene and one of the most cited research scientists in German history.
What he says:
We are afraid that 1 million infections with the new virus will lead to 30 deaths per day over the next 100 days. But we do not realise that 20, 30, 40 or 100 patients positive for normal coronaviruses are already dying every day. [The government’s anti-COVID19 measures] are grotesque, absurd and very dangerous […] The life expectancy of millions is being shortened. The horrifying impact on the world economy threatens the existence of countless people. The consequences on medical care are profound. Already services to patients in need are reduced, operations cancelled, practices empty, hospital personnel dwindling. All this will impact profoundly on our whole society. All these measures are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide based on nothing but a spook.
Dr Wolfgang Wodarg is a German physician specialising in Pulmonology, politician and former chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In 2009 he called for an inquiry into alleged conflicts of interest surrounding the EU response to the Swine Flu pandemic.
What he says:
Politicians are being courted by scientists…scientists who want to be important to get money for their institutions. Scientists who just swim along in the mainstream and want their part of it […] And what is missing right now is a rational way of looking at things. We should be asking questions like “How did you find out this virus was dangerous?”, “How was it before?”, “Didn’t we have the same thing last year?”, “Is it even something new?” That’s missing.
Dr Joel Kettner is professor of Community Health Sciences and Surgery at Manitoba University, former Chief Public Health Officer for Manitoba province and Medical Director of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases.
What he says:
I have never seen anything like this, anything anywhere near like this. I’m not talking about the pandemic, because I’ve seen 30 of them, one every year. It is called influenza. And other respiratory illness viruses, we don’t always know what they are. But I’ve never seen this reaction, and I’m trying to understand why. […] I worry about the message to the public, about the fear of coming into contact with people, being in the same space as people, shaking their hands, having meetings with people. I worry about many, many consequences related to that. […] In Hubei, in the province of Hubei, where there has been the most cases and deaths by far, the actual number of cases reported is 1 per 1000 people and the actual rate of deaths reported is 1 per 20,000. So maybe that would help to put things into perspective.
Dr John Ioannidis Professor of Medicine, of Health Research and Policy and of Biomedical Data Science, at Stanford University School of Medicine and a Professor of Statistics at Stanford University School of Humanities and Sciences. He is director of the Stanford Prevention Research Center, and co-director of the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford (METRICS).

healthimpactnews--2020-03-30--COVID19 to Usher in First Federal Mandatory Mass Vaccinations?

Coronavirus Pt 2 : ‘ Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste ’ , Replay Until recently , the concept of mandatory and mass vaccination has been only a worrisome possibility .
Vaccination laws are passed and monitored at the state level , not at the federal level .
But while the country was still struggling to recover from the events of September 11 , 2001 , and the bioterrorism scares of smallpox and anthrax threats , the groundwork to make vaccines mandatory began to change in 2003 , during President George W.

’ As sweeping as those plans may seem , the legislation failed to include key provisions sought by the drug companies—complete liability protection for all of its bioterrorism products .
During 2003 and 2004 , any bills that were introduced by both the House and the Senate attempting to secure complete liability protection for the industry were done through federal law .
In 2005 alone , 13 bills were introduced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005 was gaining traction .
Introduced as S. 1873 by Senators Bill Frist ( R-TN ) and Richard Burr ( R-NC ) , its purpose , according to Burr ’ s news release , was to “ create a partnership between the government and private corporations by rapidly developing effective medical drugs and vaccines to protect the United States from deliberate , accidental , and natural incidents involving biological pathogens.
” Nicknamed BioShield II , the bill planned to give unprecedented advantages to the industry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the safeguards that prevented dangerous vaccines , drugs , and medical devices from reaching consumers .
S. 1873 was accelerated through the Senate Health , Education , Labor , and Pensions ( HELP ) Committee , without hearings .
Public outrage began almost immediately .
Websites , news outlets , and nationwide radio hosts were exposing the unbelievable benefits the bill would convey to the drug companies .
Dozens of activist groups representing many thousands of constituents rallied a campaign to notify Congress of their dissatisfaction with S.1873 .
Faxes , emails , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opposing the carte blanche promises about to be handed to the drug makers .
Because the outcry against S.1873 was so strong , the possibility of its passage appeared to be difficult .
To circumvent this outrage , Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist forced the attachment of a shortened version into HR 2863 , the 2006 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill , literally at the eleventh hour .
Called Division E—Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act , Frist ’ s addendum added 40 pages to an existing 423-page bill on December 17 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the House Appropriation Committee members had signed off , and most had gone home .
Soon referred to as the PREP Act , it gave sweeping and unprecedented immunity for drug companies for emergency products .
The PREP Act provides complete immunity from liability for any loss relating to , or resulting from , any product used to prevent or treat illness during a public health emergency .
The immunity applies to entities and individuals involved in the development , manufacturing , testing , distribution , administration , and use of medical countermeasures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statutory exception to this immunity is for actions or failures to act that constitute ‘ willful misconduct.
’ And as we will see , even willful misconduct may not be punished .
For a full explanation of the scope of the Act , go here .
Representative Dave Obey ( D-WI ) , Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee made the following statement on the floor of the House on December 22 , 2005 : “ After the [ Committee ] finished at 6 p.m. , Senator Frist ( R-TN ) marched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Capitol .
He insisted 40 pages of legislation that had never been seen by Conferees be attached to the bill .
Speaker Dennis Hastert ( R-IL ) joined Frist ’ s insistence and without a vote of the Conferees , the legislation was unilaterally and arrogantly inserted into the bill .
[ This was ] a blatantly abusive power-play by two of the most powerful men in Congress….
” Rep. Obey ’ s full rebuttal is no longer available , but you can read it here : Obey-Speech Passed in 2005 , Senator @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the drug companies ( a special interest group ) more immunity than any bill that has ever been passed by Congress .
The legislation provides at least four sweeping provisions : • Immunity from all liability for all drugs , vaccines or biological products deemed as a ‘ covered countermeasure ’ • Immunity from all liability for any product used for any public health emergency declared by the Secretary of HHS .
• Immunity from all accountability , no matter what a drug company did wrong .
Even if the company ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccines that resulted in deaths or injuries to thousands of people , the drug company will remain immune from liability .
• Immunity from all lawsuits .
A person who suffers any type of loss will be legally prohibited from suing the drug companies ; they now have immunity from almost everything , perhaps even murder .
In simple terms , if a claim is filed by a plaintiff it can only go forward if the injured party can prove that the company performed an act of willful misconduct .
In other words @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prove the vaccine maker created a product intentionally caused them harm .
Unbelievably , even then the drug company is still immune from accountability .
Even if a pharmaceutical company knowingly harms people , the company will be immune from legal prosecution unless the U.S. Attorney General initiates enforcement action against the drug company in the name of the claimant .
This means the U.S. government would have to go to bat for the plaintiff against the drug company for the lawsuit to move forward .
Wasting no time , the Secretary of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Secretary for Preparedness and Response Robert P. Kadlec , MD , MTM & H , MS , issued Notice of Declaration of National Emergency and published in the Federal Register on March 17 , 2020 ( Vol .
85 , No .
52 ) .
The Declaration was effective as of February 4 , 2020 .
By declaring a national emergency for the SARS-CoV-19 virus and COVID-19 , the Secretary evoked the PREP Act “ to provide liability immunity for activities related to medical countermeasures against COVID–19.
” Once this new , experimental @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ covered countermeasure ’ there will be no going back .
The experimental vaccine designed to protect from a virus that little is known about ?
Can you think of a worse-case outcome for many ?
The mainstream media is conditioning people to anticipate and even beg for this vaccine .
It ’ s all part of the Plan .
The Time to Mass Vaccinate Adults Has Arrived The National Vaccine Plan ( NVP ) for adults was released in February 2010 .
It lays out the strategy to vaccinate all adults with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is approved , now and in the future.
” The plan established four key goals , each of which is supported by objectives and strategies to guide implementation through 2020 : Let ’ s look at a little closer at what the Plan has to say about Goal # 3 : • Educate and encourage individuals and healthcare professionals to promote adult vaccination programs • Leverage group influence ( faith-based groups , etc . )

by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO, AOBNMM, ABIHM
Vaxxter
Until recently, the concept of mandatory and mass vaccination has been only a worrisome possibility. Vaccination laws are passed and monitored at the state level, not at the federal level.
But while the country was still struggling to recover from the events of September 11, 2001, and the bioterrorism scares of smallpox and anthrax threats, the groundwork to make vaccines mandatory began to change in 2003, during President George W. Bush’s State of the Union Address.
On that fateful night, Bush revealed the creation of Project BioShield, a comprehensive effort to develop and make available modern, effective drugs and vaccines to protect against attack by biological and chemical weapons.
Project BioShield set forth three major components:
Creation of a permanent ‘indefinite funding authority’ to spur development of ‘medical countermeasures enabling the government to purchase vaccines and other therapies as soon as experts believe that they can be made safe and effective’ Conferred new authority to the NIH to speed research and development of drugs and vaccines that would counter bioterrorism threats and, Authorized emergency ‘fast track provisions for the release of treatments—drugs and vaccines—still waiting for approval by the FDA ‘in the event of an emergency.’
As sweeping as those plans may seem, the legislation failed to include key provisions sought by the drug companies—complete liability protection for all of its bioterrorism products.
During 2003 and 2004, any bills that were introduced by both the House and the Senate attempting to secure complete liability protection for the industry were done through federal law. In 2005 alone, 13 bills were introduced. One such bill, The Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005 was gaining traction.
Introduced as S. 1873 by Senators Bill Frist (R-TN) and Richard Burr (R-NC), its purpose, according to Burr’s news release, was to “create a partnership between the government and private corporations by rapidly developing effective medical drugs and vaccines to protect the United States from deliberate, accidental, and natural incidents involving biological pathogens.”
Nicknamed BioShield II, the bill planned to give unprecedented advantages to the industry and remove or severely weaken all of the safeguards that prevented dangerous vaccines, drugs, and medical devices from reaching consumers. S. 1873 was accelerated through the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, without hearings.
Public outrage began almost immediately. Websites, news outlets, and nationwide radio hosts were exposing the unbelievable benefits the bill would convey to the drug companies.
Dozens of activist groups representing many thousands of constituents rallied a campaign to notify Congress of their dissatisfaction with S.1873. Faxes, emails, and phone calls conveyed message after message opposing the carte blanche promises about to be handed to the drug makers. Because the outcry against S.1873 was so strong, the possibility of its passage appeared to be difficult.
To circumvent this outrage, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist forced the attachment of a shortened version into HR 2863, the 2006 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill, literally at the eleventh hour.
Called Division E—Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, Frist’s addendum added 40 pages to an existing 423-page bill on December 17, 2015 at 11:20 pm, well after the House Appropriation Committee members had signed off, and most had gone home. Soon referred to as the PREP Act, it gave sweeping and unprecedented immunity for drug companies for emergency products.
The PREP ACT
The PREP Act provides complete immunity from liability for any loss relating to, or resulting from, any product used to prevent or treat illness during a public health emergency. The immunity applies to entities and individuals involved in the development, manufacturing, testing, distribution, administration, and use of medical countermeasures described in a Declaration.
The only statutory exception to this immunity is for actions or failures to act that constitute ‘willful misconduct.’ And as we will see, even willful misconduct may not be punished. For a full explanation of the scope of the Act, go here.
Representative Dave Obey (D-WI), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee made the following statement on the floor of the House on December 22, 2005:
“After the [Committee] finished at 6 p.m., Senator Frist (R-TN) marched over to the House side of the Capitol. He insisted 40 pages of legislation that had never been seen by Conferees be attached to the bill. Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) joined Frist’s insistence and without a vote of the Conferees, the legislation was unilaterally and arrogantly inserted into the bill. [This was] a blatantly abusive power-play by two of the most powerful men in Congress….” Rep. Obey’s full rebuttal is no longer available, but you can read it here: Obey-Speech Sweeping Provisions Against Americans Passed in 2005, Senator Frist (a medical doctor) handed the drug companies (a special interest group) more immunity than any bill that has ever been passed by Congress. The legislation provides at least four sweeping provisions: Immunity from all liability for all drugs, vaccines or biological products deemed as a ‘covered countermeasure’ Immunity from all liability for any product used for any public health emergency declared by the Secretary of HHS. Immunity from all accountability, no matter what a drug company did wrong. Even if the company’s dirty facility created a batch of contaminated vaccines that resulted in deaths or injuries to thousands of people, the drug company will remain immune from liability. Immunity from all lawsuits. A person who suffers any type of loss will be legally prohibited from suing the drug companies; they now have immunity from almost everything, perhaps even murder. In simple terms, if a claim is filed by a plaintiff it can only go forward if the injured party can prove that the company performed an act of willful misconduct.

This means the U.S. government would have to go to bat for the plaintiff against the drug company for the lawsuit to move forward. Fast forward: COVID19 Wasting no time, the Secretary of HHS, Alex Azar and the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response Robert P. Kadlec, MD, MTM&H, MS, issued Notice of Declaration of National Emergency and published in the Federal Register on March 17, 2020 (Vol. 85, No. 52). The Declaration was effective as of February 4, 2020.

Goal 2: Improve access to adult vaccines
Goal 3: Increase community demand for adult immunizations
Goal 4: Foster innovation in adult vaccine development and vaccination-related technologies Let’s look at a little closer at what the Plan has to say about Goal #3: Educate and encourage individuals and healthcare professionals to promote adult vaccination programs
Leverage group influence (faith-based groups, etc.) to promote and demand access to adult vaccinations
Create more robust EHRs to include standing orders, reminder calls, and reminder mailings
Encourage the development of “adult immunization champions” in communities and across all sectors All forms of media and communication continually remind the general public that a “vaccine for the virus that causes COVID-19 is on the way” and “it’s coming soon.” The implied message is to anticipate it, wait for it and then, as soon as it arrives, go get your vaccine.

Now, within a few weeks of the outbreak of a coronavirus, a virus we don’t know much about or how long it will cause serious illness, the world has implemented draconian, stay-home “social distancing” rules. Even this phrase has psychological implications. They didn’t call it “physical distancing” but “social distancing,” a way to separate us at a time we should all be coming together. How serious is the risk from this pathogen? On the one hand, we hear that 80% of patients experience a mild form of the illness, which can include a fever and pneumonia, and many of these cases require little to no medical intervention. On the other, we hear that 200,000 to 2 million may die in the US alone. Which is it? Are we really so afraid of this pathogen that we’ve shut down the world? Are we so afraid of contracting this infection that we’re anticipating – even looking forward to – the development of a vaccine that will be deemed a covered countermeasure and have no liability, even if it injures or kills many and protects no one?

Perhaps during this forced global shut own one of the most important things you can do is use the time to evaluate all the areas of your life: your physical health, your mental health and your spiritual health and relationship with God. Clean out some closets and finish a few projects you always wished you had time to do.
Read – or write – the book that has been calling you forever. Eat better. Exercise more. Lose some weight. Catch up on your sleep. Play with your kids. Reconnect with your significant other.
Perhaps God has put the entire world into Full Stop so we can meditate and reflect, taking time to course-correct toward what is really most important.

Just Received. Ozone REVERSES Critically Ill COVID Patients in China, and VERY RAPIDLY
If I were given a chance, I strongly believe we could end this nightmare in a few weeks and restore the economy.
My comments are in brackets [ ]
Ozone Autohemotherapy—-A new trial for Novel coronavirus pneumonia
Patient gender: male, 56 years old. He was sent to hospital due to the fever symptom. The nucleic acid testing for the Novel coronavirus was positive, PaO2 74.8mmHg, [Rowen note- this number, 74.8 indicates gravely diseased lungs. The number should be near 100] oxygenation index 80.43, SaO2 95%, Chest CT: ground—glass opacity [really really bad]. The patient was a critical patient.
Specialist consultation team decided to use Ozone Autohemotherapy as follows: ozone concentration 30ug/ml, draw 100ml blood from the patient and mix the blood with the ozone, then transfuse the blood into the body.
The index after 3 hours, PaO2 99.2mmHg [outstanding improvement, only in 3 hours], oxygenation index 132.3, SaO2 98% [this is saturation of blood. 98% is just fine].
The patient felt good, and had a relieved symptom. [Not bad for a critical patient]
After 10 pass of the Ozone Autohemotherapy, PaO2 134mmHg, oxygenation index 462, SaO2 100% (2LPM oxygen flow Nasal Tube in Oxygen Treatment)
Principle:
1. Ozone inactivates virus and bacteria.
2. Improve the body hypoxia
3. Stimulation and regulation of the immune system
All patients with Ozone Autohemotherapy treatment:
1 critical patient, received 10 pass Ozone Autohemotherapy treatment. He felt very good, the index improved and recovered.
1 critical patient, received 2 pass Ozone Autohemotherapy treatment, and improved to normal patient. Fully recovered.
1 normal patient, received 1 pass Ozone Autohemotherapy treatment. Fully recovered.
1 normal patient, received 1 pass Ozone Autohemotherapy treatment. Fully recovered.
The above information was provided by Dr. Shi Kemei from the second hospital of Tianjin medical university, Tianjin, China.
[Rowen note: In my opinion it is beyond malevolent that our system, the disease maintenance system, and the mass media, has totally blacked out the most incredible therapy in the world. Our Rulers are bought out. (My personal opinion.)
To me we are dealing with a pack of ruthless thugs who have hijacked American medicine generating blood money at YOUR risk and expense or your lives and wallets, and now, livelihoods.
Please stuff this information to your local media, the mass media, talk show hosts, and more.
Today I heard Mark Levine, a conservative talk show host beat up on Bernie Sanders for Bernie’s hitting on Pharma.
I detest socialistic policies. But Pharma is evil, and Sanders certainly has a point on this matter. Levine was ignorantly touting the wonders of Pharma coming to our aid and saving countless lives with vaccination and that we should be supporting Pharma and praising the industry.
I could not believe my ears. I can forgive him. He just doesn’t know. But he should know better before mouthing off about vaccination to a public audience.
He has a duty. Perhaps some of you can get to him about this. Perhaps some of you can get to other major talk show or radio hosts. Please try. Your life might hang in the balance.
There is a cure out there for COVID. Fast, simple, Essentially 100% safe. And depending on method used, can be quite cheap. So far, every patient I have heard about who has received ozone therapy for this disease has recovered, including the two critically ill patients here.

healthimpactnews--2020-04-01--Simple, Effective Natural Ways to Maintain a Healthy Respiratory System

A hallmark of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 is that it infects the upper respiratory tract accompanied by shortness of breath , a chronic cough and frequently chills , fever and fatigue .
However , these are symptoms similar but not limited to many other viral infections , including other strains of CoV , avian and swine flu , respiratory syncytial virus ( RSV ) , picornaviruses , etc .
The conventional war chest for arming ourselves against respiratory infections are drugs that can lessen the severity of these symptoms and hopefully will kill the virus to prevent it from worsening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only recourse we can rely upon .
There are non-toxic supplements , medicinal botanicals and common sense actions people can adopt to protect themselves .
Consequently , even if infected by COVID-19 or another respiratory virus , our immune system can be strengthened naturally to dramatically reduce the risks of serious complications .
At the moment , the primary dispensers of information about the pandemic are the White House , the CDC , the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Disease ( NIAID ) and the World Health Organization ( WHO ) .

A hallmark of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 is that it infects the upper respiratory tract accompanied by shortness of breath, a chronic cough and frequently chills, fever and fatigue.
However, these are symptoms similar but not limited to many other viral infections, including other strains of CoV, avian and swine flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), picornaviruses, etc.
The conventional war chest for arming ourselves against respiratory infections are drugs that can lessen the severity of these symptoms and hopefully will kill the virus to prevent it from worsening.
But pharmaceutical medications are not the only recourse we can rely upon. There are non-toxic supplements, medicinal botanicals and common sense actions people can adopt to protect themselves.
Consequently, even if infected by COVID-19 or another respiratory virus, our immune system can be strengthened naturally to dramatically reduce the risks of serious complications.
At the moment, the primary dispensers of information about the pandemic are the White House, the CDC, the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The mainstream media and state and local health officials have been completely relying upon comments and reports from these sources to inform or educate the public.
However, what are not being communicated are the clinical experiences and scientific advice from around the world that contain valuable information and analyses to share. In China, Europe, Japan, and the US, there are tens of thousands or more physicians and medical professionals using alternative modalities such as nutritional therapy, naturopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine to further protect patients from respiratory infections, alongside or to complement conventional drug protocols.
Unfortunately none of these non-conventional doctors and professionals are being asked for their consultation nor is the large body of scientific literature that supports their regimens being recommended.
We are referring to studies published in respected journals and research conducted by important centers of medical investigation. The question, therefore, is why have a contingent of people on the frontlines of prevention and complementary approaches to health been completely marginalized from the community of so-called “experts” who dominate the voices in the media?
Therefore we want to share simple natural ways to protect your respiratory system and lungs during this stressful period. None of this information is folk tale but rather it is based on research found in the National Library of Medicine and other professional medical sources.
Unfortunately, being cooped up indoors for long extended periods of time has its own health risks. It has been shown extensively that indoor air usually has higher concentrations of toxins than outdoor air.
Aside from the psychological effects of isolation, it adversely affects our immune system. People who spend too much time indoors readily become Vitamin D deficient, which is essential for immune protection to avoid contracting infections.
It also disrupts our natural circadian rhythms thereby contributing to poor sleep patterns.
For the large majority of people, our homes and apartments are ridden with allergens, dust, molds and various fungi and cold-like causing germs.
It is estimated that most Americans have anywhere between 400 to 800 chemicals stored in their bodies and these are often hoarded in fat cells.
Of course, poorly ventilated homes are far more dangerous. Furthermore, many of our everyday household products contain numerous chemical toxins and irritants such as volatile organic compounds (VOC), heavy metals, PBDEs or flame retardants, phthalates and Bisphenol A that are commonly used in all plastics, etc.
VOCs are found in aerosol products, dry cleaned clothing, paints and varnishes, floor wax, spot removers and air fresheners. All of these chemicals can vaporize easily thereby further polluting indoor air quality.
Sunlight not only increases our level of Vitamin D, which is essential for immune protection, it also raises serotonin levels that can boost our moods.
This finding was confirmed by researchers at the Baker Research Institute in Australia and published in The Lancet. Low serotonin, especially during winter months, has been associated with Seasonal Affective Disorder, which is characterized by depression, fatigue, and a lack of concentration.
And of course, these effects have been shown to adversely affect our immune system. Therefore, making frequent efforts to get outdoors, while maintaining social distancing, not only raises our spirits but also helps clear our respiratory system from allergens and pollutants that accumulate indoors.
A series of studies conducted by the University of Rochester found that being outdoors increased both physical and mental vitality. Getting a sufficient amount of outdoor exposure is one of the surest natural ways to cleanse our lungs.
Other methods include steam therapy (inhaling water vapor) and exercise to clear airways and drain mucus from the bronchia.
Food, Herbs and Supplements
There are also plenty of foods, herbs and even supplements that can protect the lungs and keep the nasal and respiratory passages clear. Water is absolutely essential for maintaining health lungs since dry lungs result in irritation that increases the risks for infection.
Also following the Mediterranean diet has been shown by epidemiologists at Harvard to have protective effects for allergic respiratory diseases, largely due to the high intake of olive oil.
Potassium is a vital mineral for proper lung function. It is not uncommon for people who are deficient in potassium to experience sporadic breathing problems. Therefore including potassium rich foods in daily meals, such as avocados, dark leafy greens, tomatoes, beets, bananas and oranges, can raise and sustain healthy potassium levels.
Several studies have shown that apples can improve lung function. A study out of St. George’s Hospital Medical School in London followed over 2,500 individuals between the ages of 45 and 59. Among the various vitamins and foods consumed, Vitamin E and apples were the most effective for slowing the decline in lung function. For people with a history of asthma, apples, which are rich in flavonoids, are inversely linked with asthma, decreased bronchial hypersensitivity, and positively improved general pulmonary health.
Celery contains two important antioxidants — apigenin and luteolin — that have both been associated with reducing inflammation associated with our nasal passages and lungs. It has been shown to be particularly beneficial for those who have allergies that can hinder respiration. Of course it is important to know whether or not you have a rare allergy to celery itself.
In an earlier article, we reported on the health benefits of nitric oxide as a signaling molecule to strength our immune system’s response to invasion. One of the best sources for increasing nitric oxide levels in addition to improved endothelial cell function by decreasing oxidative stress are red beets.
Most of our respiratory passageways — from our nasal cavity to our bronchi — are lined with epithelium. Our lungs, on the other hand, are lined with a simple squamous epithelium or “goblet cells.” Beets are one important food that protects these cells to maintain the health of our entire respiratory system.
Beets have also been shown by researchers at Southern Methodist University to help prevent common cold symptoms, especially during periods of increased psychological stress.
Green Tea and quercetin can promote healthy lungs due to their antioxidant properties. Both act as natural antihistamines that reduce respiratory irritation and inflammation.
A study of 1,000 adults conducted by the medical school at Kyung Hee University in South Korea found that participants who drank two cups of green tea per day had better respiratory function than those who didn’t drink any. Japanese Matcha tea has been investigated and found to be a more powerful antioxidant than regular green teas.
One can conclude that having a daily juice compromised of fresh apples, celery, beets and garlic — which contains the powerful antimicrobial biomolecule allicin that kills human lung pathogenic bacteria — can have an enormous impact on cleansing and protecting our lungs. Matcha tea can be purchased as powders and also added to your daily juice.
It is our opinion that following this guideline along with getting sufficient outdoor exposure, exercise, reducing sources of toxicity in the home and proper ventilation, and drinking green tea and supplementing with quercetin, Vitamins C and D and other foods rich in antioxidants is a very simple and effective way of sustaining maximal lung health to get us through the pandemic.

The shutdown of the American economy by government decree should end. The lasting and far-reaching harms caused by this authoritarian precedent far outweigh those caused by the COVID-19 virus. The American people—individuals, families, businesses—must decide for themselves how and when to reopen society and return to their daily lives.
Neither the Trump administration nor Congress has the legal authority to shut down American life absent at least baseline due process. As Judge Andrew Napolitano recently wrote, business closures, restrictions on assembly and movement, and quarantines are not constitutionally permissible under some magic “emergency” doctrine. At a minimum, the federal government must show potential imminent harm by specific infected individuals at some form of hearing or trial.
These due process requirements are not suspended.
State and local officials may claim, or even possess, lawful police powers to shut down their communities. We offer no analysis of such powers or claims under the myriad of state constitutions and authorizing legislation. But they should resist exercising these powers. The governor of Virginia, in particular, deserves admonition for unilaterally imposing a lengthy period of virtual house arrest.
We do not know, and cannot yet know, how many Americans will become sick or die from the virus. We do know that predictions regarding infection and death rates are highly unreliable. Even actual deaths attributable to COVID-19 are not so easy to count, as Italy has discovered. Age, general health, and comorbidity are difficult variables to assess, and people may die “with” the virus but not “from” it. It is also very difficult to assess the lethality of the virus relative to previously known types of flu and colds.
To date, COVID-19 deaths in the US are far fewer than deaths in ordinary flu seasons or from past pandemics such as the H1N1 virus. This understanding is critically important to put the virus, and the government response to it, in perspective. Even during past pandemics, depressions, and world wars, Americans went to work.
In 1850, French economist Frédéric Bastiat helped the world understand the “seen and unseen costs” of state policies. It is simple to see how quarantines and lockdowns will slow the spread of COVID-19. It is critical, but not so simple, to see the costs and harms caused by the economic shutdown.
Only then can we rationally understand the tradeoffs involved.
How many Americans suffering from other illnesses cannot see a doctor now? How many Americans will lose their jobs, their life savings, their retirement prospects, and their incalculable feeling of self-worth? How many will succumb to depression, drug or alcohol abuse, and suicide? How many will lose their homes, divorce their spouses, or suffer abuse? How many will never recover in their careers? How many small businesses, including the vital ones of doctors, dentists, and veterinarians, will vanish from your community? How many young people will “fail to launch”?
Worse still, will grocery stores and gas stations remain open and stocked? Will crime spike? Will the American social fabric, already thin from politics, tear apart?
These questions are not rhetorical. All of these things happened, to a degree, following the Great Recession of 2008. They will happen again—very soon—if we fail to act immediately. Tomorrow, on April 1, millions of Americans will not pay rent or mortgages. Millions of small businesses will shutter, just as many large employers such as Macy’s, Kohl’s, airlines, and hotels already have. Millions of service workers are unemployed already, but many more jobs will be lost. The effects will cascade.
There is no conflict between humanitarian and economic concerns; in fact they are flipsides of the same coin. A poorer America will be a much less healthy America, one more vulnerable to future illness and disease. Technology, modern medicine, and market actors can address a virus; already we see entrepreneurs producing cheaper ventilators and doctors using cheap generic drugs with very promising results.
This local, bottom-up approach is the only effective way to confront the virus. The federal government, as we see now and have in the past, is comically incapable of competence in times of crisis.
On a fundamental level, freedom really is more important than security—or, in this case, an illusion of security. We all demonstrate this in our personal lives every day, from flying to driving to riding bicycles, to consuming unhealthy food and drink simply because we like it. Security has never been the sole or even primary goal for a country born in rebellion.
Government cannot decide what aspects of our lives are essential or nonessential. The American people cannot simply sit at home and wait for government checks written on funds that government does not have.
End the shutdown.
