Can EMF Make Us More Susceptible to Coronavirus Infection ?
In this interview , Brian Hoyer — one of the primary consultants for my latest book , “ EMF*D ” — discusses how electromagnetic field ( EMF ) radiation may be impacting the COVID-19 epidemic and your infection risk .
Many have raised questions about whether there is a connection between 5G and this pandemic .
In some ways , the connection between COVID-19 and 5G is a moot issue .
In other ways , it ’ s not .
Either way , it ’ s tangential to what you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and your family from here on out .
At the time of this interview , which took place March 31 , 2020 , a vast majority of those who have died from COVID-19 were elderly .
Those who died in China and Italy under the age of 50 have generally been encumbered with obesity , diabetes and hypertension , with insulin resistance being the common denominator .
Very few under the age of 19 are affected .
That said , the infection appears to be more aggressive than influenza in older individuals , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regular flu .
So , there ’ s enhanced virulence to this virus for some reason we yet do not understand .
While unproven , one current theory is that EMF radiation — and the addition of 5G in particular — could be having an impact .
Hoyer cites data from Dr. Arthur Firstenberg ’ s book , “ The Invisible Rainbow , ” 1 in which he catalogued epidemiological evidence showing that as electrification of the world was implemented , throughout the course of history , viral pandemics ensued .
In his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there is a connection between EMF and influenza .
And , this connection existed far before the advent and introduction of man-made EMFs , which probably happened in very small quantities in the late 18th century .
But , he also describes something called the maunder minimum , which lasted from 1645 to 1715 .
Essentially , this was a period of time when the sun was very quiet and had very few or no sun spots .
Then , in 1727 , the number of sun spots increased to over 100 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ century .
Now , I know this is ancient history , but it ’ s important to understand that because in 1728 , influenza arrived in waves over the entire planet and it was the first flu pandemic in almost 150 years .
So , this is the first hint , at least historically , that there might be a connection between EMF and viral illness because , in the solar flare , you ’ re going to have increased radiation .
The next major pandemic was in 1889 , and the interesting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is that this infection was established pretty much everywhere all at once .
We obviously did not have transcontinental flights the way we did in the current COVID-19 disease .
It appears to have emerged in Wuhan City , China , where , incidentally , 5G had recently been rolled out , but millions of people traveled in and out of that area and on to other parts of the world .
Well , the 1889 epidemic took place at a time when we didn ’ t have the ability to travel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pandemic emerged very rapidly in widely scattered regions around the world .
Interestingly , in 1889 , we saw the emergence of what Firstenberg calls power line harmonics .
According to Firstenberg , that changed the Earth ’ s magnetic field , ushering in the 1889 influenza pandemic .
Next , there was the Spanish flu of 1918 , which also spread far more rapidly than it could or should have were it spread through travel .
In 1918 , radio was the emerging technology .
Firstenberg ’ s revised edition also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his book builds a case for the theory that increases in EMFs , natural or man-made , might make us more susceptible or sensitive to viral illnesses .
If natural EMF exposures have the ability to influence our biology , it ’ s not so hard to imagine that man-made exposures might have an exponential impact .
Hoyer adds : We Don ’ t Know What We Haven ’ t Studied A significant problem with man-made EMFs is that they ’ re pulsed .
We are also surrounded by RF radiation , both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pulsed RF signals .
With regard to COVID-19 , underlying health conditions clearly appear to play a role .
However , we don ’ t know whether the use of certain drugs might have a bearing on the severity of the disease and its outcome .
For example , while French doctors say they ’ ve noticed a pattern that patients given ibuprofen fared worse than those given acetaminophen , their findings have been largely ignored simply because there are no studies to prove it .
When did clinical findings become useless ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ rapidly considered and acted upon during an active pandemic when time is of the essence .
At this time , we really need to listen to the medical professionals in the field who are treating patients .
During a March 12 , 2020 , lecture at the Health and Human Rights Summit in Tucson , Arizona , Dr. Thomas Cowan likely stunned the audience by bringing up a potential connection between 5G and COVID-19 .
By and large , many of the areas hardest hit by COVID-19 have recently implemented 5G which , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more prone to serious infection by lowering their immune function .
Cowan also presents the theory that COVID-19 and other influenza epidemics are not transmitted from person to person but , rather , are the result of cellular toxicity , including but not limited to EMF-induced cellular toxicity .
To be clear , I ’ m not saying 5G spreads the infection or is a vector of infection .
But by lowering your natural immune defenses and causing chronic inflammation , it is likely impairing your innate immune system ’ s ability to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this increased susceptibility to illness would apply to all disease , both acute and chronic , and would not be limited to COVID-19 .
Exaggerated EMF exposure may well be a hidden variable that could be contributing to the reason why so many people get sick in particular areas .
Intense EMF exposure could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel ’ s back , meaning the factor that breaks the immune system .
How to Protect Yourself Now I ’ ve published a series of suggestions on how to minimize your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of sauna , nebulized hydrogen peroxide , vitamin C , ozone , melatonin and other nutraceuticals .
My favorite supplement of all , which I believe is particularly useful at this time , is molecular hydrogen tablets .
The tablets are made of metallic magnesium , which when placed in water dissociates into magnesium ions , not a salt like magnesium oxide or magnesium threonate .
It ’ s just simple pure magnesium , which doesn ’ t have a laxative effect , and molecular hydrogen gas — both of which are extraordinarily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impacts of EMF .
I think almost everyone would benefit from them .
The beautiful thing about molecular hydrogen is that it ’ s a selective antioxidant .
Unlike most traditional antioxidants that indiscriminately reduce most free radicals , molecular hydrogen merely helps activate endogenous antioxidants to reduce the damage from the NRLP3 inflammasome activation .
The magnesium , meanwhile , acts as a calcium channel blocker , which helps mitigate the damage from the EMF exposure .
So , it helps in many different ways .
I think it ’ s one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I recommend taking two tablets in water once a day ( twice if you have heavy exposure either to COVID-19 or EMFs ) .
Ideally , you want to pulse your intake , as consuming it regularly doesn ’ t seem to work as well .
You need to pulse it to get the benefit because there needs to be a change in the concentration in your system .
As for lowering your EMF exposure , you can download a free chapter from my book , “ EMF*D ” that summarizes most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ review the most important considerations in “ The No .
1 Thing to Do to Protect Yourself From EMFs.
” Hoyer is also working on videos demonstrating how to use shielded paint and other remediation strategies , so keep an eye out for those on his website , ShieldedHealing.com .
Be Mindful of Symptoms of EMF Sensitivity The most important area to shield is your bedroom , as that is where you spend your nights — the time when your body is going through its most valuable regeneration and healing processes .
Sleeping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long way toward avoiding electrosensitivity , which by the way tends to come on very rapidly , in many cases seemingly “ overnight.
” Common symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity include ringing in the ears , a feeling of burning or prickling in the skin , headache , heart palpitations and inexplicable anxiety , for example .
Once you ’ re electrosensitive , additional and more extensive remediation strategies may become necessary .
Again , it may not be 5G per se that breaks down the immune system , but rather that the total @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of many individuals .
As explained by Hoyer , EMF shielding materials are capable of blocking about 99 % of the harmful frequencies we ’ re exposed to , but not the lower frequencies associated with the Schumann resonance , which are associated with healing .
He also points out that : What Will 42,000 Satellites Do to the Earth ?
SpaceX , which currently has about 400 low-Earth orbiting satellites , has obtained permission to put 42,000 satellites into orbit in order to provide the whole world with 5G coverage .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be seen , but I ’ m not particularly optimistic .
Hoyer comments : Compassion for Each Other Is Paramount As noted by Hoyer , we need to have more compassion in general for those who are immune compromised .
Clearly , they need to be protected from SARS-CoV-2 .
But they also need to be protected from wireless frequencies and EMF exposure , and few give this a single thought .

Can EMF Make Us More Susceptible to Coronavirus Infection?

In this interview, Brian Hoyer — one of the primary consultants for my latest book, “EMF*D” — discusses how electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation may be impacting the COVID-19 epidemic and your infection risk. Many have raised questions about whether there is a connection between 5G and this pandemic.
In some ways, the connection between COVID-19 and 5G is a moot issue. In other ways, it’s not. Either way, it’s tangential to what you need to do now to protect yourself and your family from here on out. At the time of this interview, which took place March 31, 2020, a vast majority of those who have died from COVID-19 were elderly.
Those who died in China and Italy under the age of 50 have generally been encumbered with obesity, diabetes and hypertension, with insulin resistance being the common denominator. Very few under the age of 19 are affected.
That said, the infection appears to be more aggressive than influenza in older individuals, and the illness lasts longer than the regular flu. So, there’s enhanced virulence to this virus for some reason we yet do not understand. While unproven, one current theory is that EMF radiation — and the addition of 5G in particular — could be having an impact.
Electrification and Global Illness
Hoyer cites data from Dr. Arthur Firstenberg’s book, “The Invisible Rainbow,”1 in which he catalogued epidemiological evidence showing that as electrification of the world was implemented, throughout the course of history, viral pandemics ensued.
“The big one in there that’s been cited on the internet about possible connection to 5G is, if you go back to 1918 when the Spanish flu went around the world, that was when the first radio telegraphs were more widely used.
You see the Spanish flu popping up all over the world, but [not] in a way [that would suggest] we are passing it from person to person, but [it popped up on] one side of the world to the other side of the world very quickly.
Today, we wouldn’t know if that’s happening because we travel so frequently. And there are theories out there about how viruses actually transmit from person to person … That said, what we have is probably the unhealthiest population in the history of mankind … as far as chronic conditions … We also have more sterility …
But we also have more practices of separation and decontamination, and all of those things are better than ever before. So why is this virus spreading so rapidly?
I believe it has to be the terrain of the individual and also environmental stressors that are creating this perfect storm where a virus has an easy way to get into the body and can actually reproduce on the cellular level inside of the human body. Which is really how viruses work. It’s not the same as bacteria. I think a lot of people have that false sense that a virus is just a smaller version of a bacteria.”
Viral Pandemics Coincide With Increases in EMF Exposure
In his book, Firstenberg brings up this concept that there is a connection between EMF and influenza. And, this connection existed far before the advent and introduction of man-made EMFs, which probably happened in very small quantities in the late 18th century.
But, he also describes something called the maunder minimum, which lasted from 1645 to 1715. Essentially, this was a period of time when the sun was very quiet and had very few or no sun spots.
Then, in 1727, the number of sun spots increased to over 100 for the first time in over a century. Now, I know this is ancient history, but it’s important to understand that because in 1728, influenza arrived in waves over the entire planet and it was the first flu pandemic in almost 150 years.
So, this is the first hint, at least historically, that there might be a connection between EMF and viral illness because, in the solar flare, you’re going to have increased radiation. The next major pandemic was in 1889, and the interesting part of this, which Hoyer mentioned, is that this infection was established pretty much everywhere all at once.
We obviously did not have transcontinental flights the way we did in the current COVID-19 disease. It appears to have emerged in Wuhan City, China, where, incidentally, 5G had recently been rolled out, but millions of people traveled in and out of that area and on to other parts of the world.
Well, the 1889 epidemic took place at a time when we didn’t have the ability to travel very fast or far. Yet, the pandemic emerged very rapidly in widely scattered regions around the world. Interestingly, in 1889, we saw the emergence of what Firstenberg calls power line harmonics. According to Firstenberg, that changed the Earth’s magnetic field, ushering in the 1889 influenza pandemic.
Next, there was the Spanish flu of 1918, which also spread far more rapidly than it could or should have were it spread through travel. In 1918, radio was the emerging technology. Firstenberg’s revised edition also mentions 5G technology.
In summary, his book builds a case for the theory that increases in EMFs, natural or man-made, might make us more susceptible or sensitive to viral illnesses. If natural EMF exposures have the ability to influence our biology, it’s not so hard to imagine that man-made exposures might have an exponential impact. Hoyer adds:
“Things are happening now that have never happened before. We [have] a lot of people who are electrosensitive. One of the things they report is that … they feel sick during lightning storms with influenza-type symptoms. Flashes of lightning create a radio frequency. It’s called microwave sickness in the literature.
A lot of people call it electromagnetic hypersensitivity or electrosensitivity, but in a lot of the literature, you have to look up microwave sickness … Then you’ll find these references to when storms come, when solar flares are active, people are getting more and more symptoms.
Depression is a huge thing that happens when there’s more solar radiation and also during a full moon even. So, there’s a lot of natural electromagnetic radiation that happens. Most of that is gradual, but with the radio frequency (RF) lightning pulses, those are definitely a pulsed phenomenon … I think it’s in the kilohertz range. But it varies … it’s never the same frequency, it’s always different.
You’ll actually hear it when the lightning goes off and if you have a really sensitive meter, when you turn on and off light switches, you can hear the arcing and there’s an RF that transmits out from that arcing that happens … Solar flares … can affect all types of electronics and can cause electromagnetic interference, and that is technically in the kilohertz to megahertz range.”
We Don’t Know What We Haven’t Studied
A significant problem with man-made EMFs is that they’re pulsed. We are also surrounded by RF radiation, both analog RF signals from radio stations and pulsed RF signals.
“A lot of times I wonder, ‘What would a real study look like if you have the 50 Hz to 60 Hz modulation and the RF and everything?’ Usually, in these studies, they’re just testing one thing in a controlled environment.
They’re never testing the entire soup that we’re constantly bathed in as human beings. We’re the big experiment here and they’re just testing one thing at a time in this Western medicine type of fashion,” Hoyer notes.
With regard to COVID-19, underlying health conditions clearly appear to play a role. However, we don’t know whether the use of certain drugs might have a bearing on the severity of the disease and its outcome.
For example, while French doctors say they’ve noticed a pattern that patients given ibuprofen fared worse than those given acetaminophen, their findings have been largely ignored simply because there are no studies to prove it.
When did clinical findings become useless? If anything, clinical suspicions should be rapidly considered and acted upon during an active pandemic when time is of the essence. At this time, we really need to listen to the medical professionals in the field who are treating patients.
Link Between 5G Implementation and COVID-19 Hotspots?
During a March 12, 2020, lecture at the Health and Human Rights Summit in Tucson, Arizona, Dr. Thomas Cowan likely stunned the audience by bringing up a potential connection between 5G and COVID-19.
By and large, many of the areas hardest hit by COVID-19 have recently implemented 5G which, at least theoretically, might render residents more prone to serious infection by lowering their immune function.
Cowan also presents the theory that COVID-19 and other influenza epidemics are not transmitted from person to person but, rather, are the result of cellular toxicity, including but not limited to EMF-induced cellular toxicity.
To be clear, I’m not saying 5G spreads the infection or is a vector of infection. But by lowering your natural immune defenses and causing chronic inflammation, it is likely impairing your innate immune system’s ability to fight off the coronavirus. Naturally, this increased susceptibility to illness would apply to all disease, both acute and chronic, and would not be limited to COVID-19.
Exaggerated EMF exposure may well be a hidden variable that could be contributing to the reason why so many people get sick in particular areas. Intense EMF exposure could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back, meaning the factor that breaks the immune system.
“[Cowan] is a top-notch doctor, he’s on the cutting edge,” Hoyer says. “In that video, he talks about Wuhan as one of the testing grounds for 5G, where 5G was first implemented in China. And what’s interesting about Italy … is that Milan — the Lombardi area of Italy where two-thirds of the cases are — is considered the 5G capital of the European Union according to Vodafone, which is the big 5G carrier out there …
If you go on Vodafone’s website, you can see the 5G map, and it’s sprinkled throughout all Milan and Lombardi, that province up there. So that is definitely a more concentrated area. On top of that, you have all of the older population in Italy, and people that are likely fully buying into the Western medicine and are on [multiple] medications — those sorts of things.
The way that all of those medications are interacting, combined with the 5G stress and the electromagnetic stress, I think it’s no wonder everyone’s immune system is suppressed and they’re so susceptible. It’s the terrain that’s the problem, the environmental stress.
We can actually kind of control that ourselves. Getting off of our phones and working to shield our environment will help to strengthen our immune system. Then taking some … supplements can take to help boost your immune system …
So, there’s 5G in Milan, in Wuhan, and New York City is one of the highest, most intense [5G] areas I’ve seen, and Seattle … But 5G doesn’t matter so much to me. It’s about the intensity of the EMF. New York was basically as intense as a 5G area already, before 5G was implemented, in my opinion. It maxes out all of our meters wherever I go. There are hidden antennas everywhere in New York City.
[Seattle] has a lot of hills in the city, and right on Queen Anne, there are two huge radio towers with probably 100 antennas on them, just blasting the whole city. We’ve had assessments there where we’ve maxed out [our meters], and even shielded rooms upstairs and it still maxed out.
So, we have to do a complete covering of the floor, the ceiling and the walls, and be really strict about how we’re doing the shielding over the windows so that everything is sealed almost perfectly, like a true perfect Faraday cage. In most homes we don’t have to do an absolutely perfect Faraday cage, with all the electrical connections and no gaps whatsoever. We can still dial it down to where the levels are low enough.
But in places where it’s really intense, we have to use different strategies in order to make it so that there’s absolutely no gaps … The exponential pressure of all that EMF radiation that can leak in through a tiny hole is really important in those more saturated areas …
Some people watching this will be like, ‘Oh, EMF is the cause of everything.’ That’s not what I’m saying at all. But it definitely weakens our immune systems. Martin Pall’s research shows one mechanism for how that happens and … we know how electric the body is.
I mean, the heart communicates with the brain through an electromagnetic pulse, that’s been proven with the HeartMath studies … You can [find] fascinating articles on there about how we physiologically depend on different voltage changes in order for our body to function optimally.
Just to think that there are people out there that believe this environment we’ve created does not affect us — it’s insane when you start to read some of these studies about how our body uses voltage to heal and to function.”
How to Protect Yourself Now
I’ve published a series of suggestions on how to minimize your risk of COVID-19, including the use of sauna, nebulized hydrogen peroxide, vitamin C, ozone, melatonin and other nutraceuticals.
My favorite supplement of all, which I believe is particularly useful at this time, is molecular hydrogen tablets. The tablets are made of metallic magnesium, which when placed in water dissociates into magnesium ions, not a salt like magnesium oxide or magnesium threonate.
It’s just simple pure magnesium, which doesn’t have a laxative effect, and molecular hydrogen gas — both of which are extraordinarily useful for mitigating the negative effects and impacts of EMF.
I think almost everyone would benefit from them. The beautiful thing about molecular hydrogen is that it’s a selective antioxidant. Unlike most traditional antioxidants that indiscriminately reduce most free radicals, molecular hydrogen merely helps activate endogenous antioxidants to reduce the damage from the NRLP3 inflammasome activation.
The magnesium, meanwhile, acts as a calcium channel blocker, which helps mitigate the damage from the EMF exposure. So, it helps in many different ways. I think it’s one of the best strategies during this epidemic.
I recommend taking two tablets in water once a day (twice if you have heavy exposure either to COVID-19 or EMFs). Ideally, you want to pulse your intake, as consuming it regularly doesn’t seem to work as well. You need to pulse it to get the benefit because there needs to be a change in the concentration in your system.
As for lowering your EMF exposure, you can download a free chapter from my book, “EMF*D” that summarizes most of the major recommendations. I also review the most important considerations in “The No. 1 Thing to Do to Protect Yourself From EMFs.”
Hoyer is also working on videos demonstrating how to use shielded paint and other remediation strategies, so keep an eye out for those on his website, ShieldedHealing.com.
“Many are at home right now. You have time to do this. Our company stocked up on shielding paint before [the COVID-19 pandemic] so we don’t have to import it anymore. It would be a good time to take on a [remediation] project. Beyond that, things you can do right now is get off your cellphone. Your cellphone is a walking cellphone tower. I always have mine on airplane mode …”
Be Mindful of Symptoms of EMF Sensitivity
The most important area to shield is your bedroom, as that is where you spend your nights — the time when your body is going through its most valuable regeneration and healing processes. Sleeping in an EMF-free environment can go a long way toward avoiding electrosensitivity, which by the way tends to come on very rapidly, in many cases seemingly “overnight.”
Common symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity include ringing in the ears, a feeling of burning or prickling in the skin, headache, heart palpitations and inexplicable anxiety, for example. Once you’re electrosensitive, additional and more extensive remediation strategies may become necessary.
Again, it may not be 5G per se that breaks down the immune system, but rather that the total EMF burden simply exceeds the tolerable threshold of many individuals.
“It involves a lot of detox of different heavy metals [and chemicals],” Hoyer explains.”There’s a chemical load, there’s heavy metal load. There’s all types of stressors that we need to reduce to make a person less electrosensitive. We’re getting more and more sensitive as a species and eventually we’ll hit a tipping point — perhaps once you add a virus that we’ve never had exposure to before …
You have to wonder, is this the tipping point? Not necessarily 5G? Is this virus and even 4G the tipping point? I wonder about that. I know 5G is adding more saturation of these frequencies, but we really need to get to a point where we understand that, at least in the bedroom, we need to be shielded. If you’re still reacting to things, you have to do more work.”
On 5G Frequencies
As explained by Hoyer, EMF shielding materials are capable of blocking about 99% of the harmful frequencies we’re exposed to, but not the lower frequencies associated with the Schumann resonance, which are associated with healing. He also points out that:
“A lot of people equate 5G with millimeter waves (MMW). That’s absolutely not the case in my opinion. I’ve tested … frequencies all the way up to 23.5 gigahertz (GHz) with 3G and 4G as back haul transmitters. Satellite TV is 12 to 18 GH.
The 5G frequencies they’re going to be using, or are using in some areas, are point-to-point communication right now … it’s laser pointed. I had a meter that measured MMWs and I took it to Los Angeles and Austin, Texas.
I didn’t detect anything in Austin where 5G was live. In Los Angeles, there were some neighborhoods where I barely detected something, but I had to point my receiver directly at the antenna to get it. If I was even a centimeter off, I would not detect it.
So [5G antennas] are like laser pointed frequencies from what I can tell with the testing that I did. And most of the 5G frequencies we’re being exposed to are going to be below 6 GHz. That’s what’s going to be communicating with our devices if you choose to get a 5G device, which I would recommend not to do …
We have much more saturation, like in Houston, there’s 3.5 GHz on every telephone pole. That’s a higher frequency than 2.4 so it’s faster. Five GHz on your router is faster. Some people report more symptoms from 5 GHz router versus 2.4 GHz and vice versa. It seems to be frequency dependent.
What’s interesting is the lower the frequency, down to 50 or 60 megahertz (MHz), the more it resonates with the human body. The size of the human body you’re getting in around 60 to 80 MHz range is about 6 foot. That’s what your body will resonate with.
On any meter where I measure this, I measure it with a real-time spectrum analyzer. You can actually see the rise and you’re using your body as an antenna much more from about 60 MHz all the way up to around 900 MHz, sometimes in up to 1500 MHz you can still see this antenna effect on the body.
But the higher frequencies don’t resonate as much with the conductance of the skin. So, your skin does provide a slight Faraday cage against the higher frequencies, but these lower frequencies definitely penetrate, including T-Mobile’s 600 MHz 5G frequency, which goes further and can penetrate deeper into tissue and through forests and everything.”
What Will 42,000 Satellites Do to the Earth?
SpaceX, which currently has about 400 low-Earth orbiting satellites, has obtained permission to put 42,000 satellites into orbit in order to provide the whole world with 5G coverage. The exact ramifications of this saturation remain to be seen, but I’m not particularly optimistic. Hoyer comments:
“SpaceX has about 400 satellites up. That was the number Elon Musk wanted to start … testing the network. That could turn on at any time. So those of us out there who are electrosensitive are paying attention and reading the news on that.
Amazon … Facebook [and] companies in the U.K. and Canada also have petitions to put up satellites, so it’s not just SpaceX … But SpaceX is looking at doing 42,000 satellites. They just got approved by the government for 1 million antennas on the ground, to work with the satellites. That is what I’m much more concerned about than the stuff beaming down from above, because they’re closer …
I think a lot of people are very concerned. I almost see this apocalyptic look on people’s faces when we talk about the Starlink and the satellites … like we’re not going to be protected at all. It’s just going to be everywhere.
Well, I think that’s true, but even the satellite dishes that we have for television and cable, you have to have a dish that collects that signal and concentrates it up. So, they’re actually pretty weak signals coming from above. It’s not like they’re completely blasting you with a laser beam down.
But like I was saying, the 1 million antennas on the ground, that’s what I’m much more concerned about. And then the devices that we and our neighbors have, those are very concerning. If you have a metal roof, that’s going to protect you somewhat from a lot of the different frequencies that are beaming down … I’m much more concerned about the stuff that’s way closer to us.”
Compassion for Each Other Is Paramount
As noted by Hoyer, we need to have more compassion in general for those who are immune compromised. Clearly, they need to be protected from SARS-CoV-2. But they also need to be protected from wireless frequencies and EMF exposure, and few give this a single thought.
“Many of these older people grew up in an environment where they didn’t have nearly as much EMF exposure. There’s still some of these older people who grew up in places that didn’t even have electricity.
So, just thinking about the irony of that whole thing gives me this sense of wanting to have more compassion for our fellow man, and also the tragedy of the social distancing that we have as well. I would love to have a solution to remedy that, but I’m just going to keep trucking on and doing what I do best and help people.”

Sara Brady , a mother from Meridian , Idaho , was arrested on Tuesday , April 21st , after she joined a large group of parents in protesting Idaho ’ s Coronavirus Stay-At-Home order through a planned “ Playdate Protest.
” The City of Meridian closed their playgrounds in March , in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 , because of fears that the virus may live on plastic surfaces ( such as plastic slides ) for several days .
Planned as a protest of Idaho ’ s Stay-at-Home order , through the Idaho Freedom Foundation and Health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dozen parents went to a closed playground at Kleiner Park in Meridian , Idaho , and “ took back ” the playground area – removing police tape that marked it as closed – so that their children could play .
Sara Brady was part of that group of parents .
When told to leave the playground by an officer from the Meridian Police Department , Sara refused compliance and questioned authority to close the playground , citing her right to be in public spaces despite the statewide Stay-At-Home order issued by Idaho Governor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sara was repeatedly told to go away from the playground , and she still refused , she was arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing .
Sara was forced to leave her young children in the park with the other protestors , while the police booked her into the Ada County Jail in Boise .
Miste Gardner-Karlfeldt from Health Freedom Idaho points out The protest and arrest were captured on Facebook Live and went viral on social media .
According to KTVB , the video received over 15,000 reactions and 13,000 shares on Facebook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Meridian Police Department failed to make an example out of Sara Brady .
Another mother in attendance at the protest , Sara Fowble Rivera , told Health Impact News that soon after the arrest , an officer stood by as the city taped off the playground once again .
But the kids wanted to keep playing , and after about 10 minutes they went back to the playground without further interruption .
Numerous protests have occurred throughout Idaho , over the extended Stay at Home order given by Governor Brad Little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Idaho State Capitol demanding the order be lifted and gathered over a thousand people .
The Idaho Freedom Foundation has also confirmed through their website that numerous protests are still being organized in the coming weeks through a “ Disobey Idaho ” campaign , including an “ all jobs are essential ” rally in Eastern Idaho which will feature the Idaho Lt .
Governor , Janice McGeachin , and several local mayors as keynote speakers .
Several businesses in Idaho have also declared they will reopen despite the order , including a gym @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Additional encounters with law enforcement over the Stay at Home order have occurred in Idaho , including a citation received by a Rathdrum mother of six , who had refused to shut down a private yard sale after being told repeatedly to do so because it was not considered an essential business .
However , no other arrests have been made , making Sara Brady ’ s arrest the first of its kind in the Gem State .

Sara Brady, a mother from Meridian, Idaho, was arrested on Tuesday, April 21st, after she joined a large group of parents in protesting Idaho’s Coronavirus Stay-At-Home order through a planned “Playdate Protest.”
The City of Meridian closed their playgrounds in March, in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19, because of fears that the virus may live on plastic surfaces (such as plastic slides) for several days.
Planned as a protest of Idaho’s Stay-at-Home order, through the Idaho Freedom Foundation and Health Freedom Idaho, a group of several dozen parents went to a closed playground at Kleiner Park in Meridian, Idaho, and “took back” the playground area – removing police tape that marked it as closed – so that their children could play.
Sara Brady was part of that group of parents. When told to leave the playground by an officer from the Meridian Police Department, Sara refused compliance and questioned authority to close the playground, citing her right to be in public spaces despite the statewide Stay-At-Home order issued by Idaho Governor Brad Little on March 25th.
After Sara was repeatedly told to go away from the playground, and she still refused, she was arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing. Sara was forced to leave her young children in the park with the other protestors, while the police booked her into the Ada County Jail in Boise. Miste Gardner-Karlfeldt from Health Freedom Idaho points out
“It was completely irresponsible for the police officer to arrest a mother without allowing her to first be sure that her children were taken care of. He showed callous disregard for the kids’ wellbeing.”
The protest and arrest were captured on Facebook Live and went viral on social media.
According to KTVB, the video received over 15,000 reactions and 13,000 shares on Facebook before being removed.
Despite her arrest, the Meridian Police Department failed to make an example out of Sara Brady. Another mother in attendance at the protest, Sara Fowble Rivera, told Health Impact News that soon after the arrest, an officer stood by as the city taped off the playground once again.
But the kids wanted to keep playing, and after about 10 minutes they went back to the playground without further interruption.
“The officers were standing at a distance and could see it. They never came back or approached us a second time. Obviously trying to make an example out of one mom didn’t work! They left after that and we continued playing and visiting for another hour. I am disappointed in the officers for following orders, instead of the oath they took to uphold the Constitution.”
Numerous protests have occurred throughout Idaho, over the extended Stay at Home order given by Governor Brad Little with the largest protest held at the Idaho State Capitol demanding the order be lifted and gathered over a thousand people.
The Idaho Freedom Foundation has also confirmed through their website that numerous protests are still being organized in the coming weeks through a “Disobey Idaho” campaign, including an “all jobs are essential” rally in Eastern Idaho which will feature the Idaho Lt. Governor, Janice McGeachin, and several local mayors as keynote speakers.
Several businesses in Idaho have also declared they will reopen despite the order, including a gym in Middleton and a bar in Nampa.
Additional encounters with law enforcement over the Stay at Home order have occurred in Idaho, including a citation received by a Rathdrum mother of six, who had refused to shut down a private yard sale after being told repeatedly to do so because it was not considered an essential business.
However, no other arrests have been made, making Sara Brady’s arrest the first of its kind in the Gem State. Meridian Police said they made several attempts to help Sara adhere to the rules but ultimately were forced to arrest her for trespassing because she was non-compliant.
Other parents, who also do not agree with the Governor’s order, were quick to defend Sara’s actions. In an additional video of the arrest, parents can be heard shouting “let her go” and “if she’s one person’s mom, she’s all of our mom.”
Another gathering was staged later Tuesday night at Meridian City Hall to support Sara Brady. At least 100 people gathered to protest arrest, and the stay-at-home order, by blocking Meridian Road – a main street located in front of the city hall.
After Sara’s release, she attended the protest in person where she told the cheering crowd,
“When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. And we have a duty to stand up to this tyranny or we are going to lose our republic.”
Coordinated with the protest in Meridian, another group of parents and citizens attempted to serve a People’s Petition for a Redress of Grievances at Governor Brad Little’s Home address, 20 miles away in Emmett, Idaho.
When no one answered the door, after knocking several times, notorious constitutional activist, Ammon Bundy, as well as others with the Brad Little is A Disgrace campaign, Idaho Freedom Foundation, and Health Freedom Idaho, taped the petition to the front door – several wondering out loud why the Governor himself was not at his home during his Stay-at-Home order.
The petition, Sara’s arrest, and the Idaho protests are part of an ever growing uprising by conservative groups against governments across the country. Advocates of ending the stay-at-home orders say that these types of closures are unconstitutional and in violation of American Civil Liberties.
In Michigan, thousands of protestors attended what has been dubbed “Operation Gridlock” by blocking the streets with their vehicles surrounding the Capitol in downtown Lansing and chanting “Open up Michigan.”
A Raleigh, NC woman was arrested at a similar protest where the local law enforcement stated “Protesting is not an essential activity.”
Other parents have also been arrested for not following the local social distancing orders, including a New Jersey couple who were charged with five counts of endangering their minor children, and one count of disobeying the governor’s orders, after throwing a bat mitzvah party in their home.
While at the same time, children are being removed from the custody of essential workers. See:

Sara Brady tearfully shared her fears with the crowd at the Meridian City Hall protest after her arrest,
“It’s just been scary for me, watching what has been going on. Because we live in a country we have to turn over to our kids. My kids saw me get arrested today for just being a mom in a park. What kind of an America is this?” “Do we want to live in an America like this?” she asked. “Our kids deserve better.”
She encouraged everyone to stand up, and said, “there is power when we join together” while vowing to fight the charges. Sara added,
“I was in a public park I pay taxes on, I’d like a refund too.”
Her speech was recorded live on Facebook by Health Freedom Idaho.
HFI’s Miste Gardener-Karlfeldt reminds us,
“It is not the proper role of government to make healthcare choices or determine what risks we will or won’t take. Nor is it the proper role of government to determine that for our children.”

Many questions are still unanswered. Did the actions the Taiwan Government take cause a much lower rate of reported infections of COVID-19? Or are there other factors involved that kept their infection rates lower? Since the SARS outbreak more than 15 years ago was so severe there, was there some natural immunity against coronaviruses involved?

About the only thing we do know for sure, is that the vaccine gods and their global leaders like Bill Gates and Dr. Fauci and the WHO cannot take credit for Taiwan’s success, because they never were able to successfully develop a vaccine for SARS, and they have successfully kept Taiwan out of the WHO.

This pandemic has provided us with a clinical trial in the healing power of freedom. We can now compare two control groups in the form of two Chinese societies — one free and democratic, the other under the grip of a brutal totalitarian dictatorship. Totalitarian China has not only been ravaged by the virus but has also spread the contagion to our shores. Free China has defeated it. The lesson is clear: COVID-19 grew in the cesspool of Chinese Communist tyranny. The antidote to the coronavirus is freedom. (Source.)

healthimpactnews--2020-04-23--Roche CEO: COVID19 Tests “Not Worth Anything – Two of us could do it Overnight in the Garage”

Since the Coronavirus outbreak has started , one of the most controversial topics has surrounded testing .
How does one know if they have the COVID-19 virus ?
And if someone is sick , or someone dies , is testing “ positive ” for COVID-19 proof that the person died from it ?
But one aspect that is seldom talked about is the accuracy of the tests themselves .
When one watches the corporate-sponsored “ mainstream ” media news , they all seem to just assume that these tests are always accurate , and therefore the numbers they publish in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ die are assumed to be accurate .
This week ( April 2020 ) , the CEO of the drug company Roche , Severin Schwan , was quoted in a Reuters ’ news article as saying that new antibody tests for COVID-19 were “ a disaster.
” Fierce Biotech , one of the trade publications for the pharmaceutical industry , published an article on Schwan ’ s comments .
The current state of antibody testing for COVID-19 is “ a disaster , ” said Roche CEO Severin Schwan , as a large number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by sky-high demand .
Many countries are seeking serology tests to better understand whether people are developing a possible immunity to the novel coronavirus .
But reports detailing high rates of false-positive and false-negative results are delaying widespread screening .
“ These tests are not worth anything , or have very little use , ” Schwan said during an early Wednesday conference call regarding the company ’ s first-quarter earnings , according to Reuters .
“ Some of these companies , I tell you , this is ethically very questionable to get out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , adding that Roche analyzed several products currently on the market and found them to be unreliable .
“ Every kind of amateur could produce an antibody test , ” he said .
“ The two of us could do it overnight in the garage.
” Roche is currently developing its own antibody test , set to launch in early May… ( Read the full article here . )
Once again , the infighting among pharmaceutical companies to cash in on massive funding for coronavirus products , gives us a glimpse into what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ willing to turn off their TV long enough to search other sources of information .
There is massive money being spent on COVID-19 testing , and these “ antibody ” tests are the next new round of products Big Pharma wants to cash in on .
Antibody testing allows one to theoretically see who may have had the Coronavirus but have now recovered from illness caused by COVID-19 , where a person ’ s own immune system has developed antibodies to fight against it .
Such knowledge is key to developing new drugs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also a double-edged sword for the pharmaceutical industry , because if many people test positive for antibodies with no apparent illness or actual COVID-19 virus present , then it could drastically reduce the death rates that have been reported , and also lower the cost-to-risk ratio for pharmaceutical companies to develop these products if the general public is developing antibodies without the help of pharmaceutical products .
That is exactly what is apparently happening in New York , where the public has been told that the death rate from COVID-19 in New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Governor Cuomo has just released results from the State ’ s first round of antibody testing , and he is reporting that based on these results , the actual death rate is much lower , less than 1 % .
So at this point , the answer to the following questions , based on research that is not filtered through the corporate “ mainstream ” media , is basically : “ Nobody really knows.
” • How many people are infected with COVID-19 ?
• How many people are dying from COVID-19 ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ give us accurate data ?
• Have the measures the U.S. Government taken , and States taken , reduced our risk for COVID-19 ?
Are COVID19 Death Statistics being Inflated to Justify Government Actions ?

Since the Coronavirus outbreak has started, one of the most controversial topics has surrounded testing.
How does one know if they have the COVID-19 virus? And if someone is sick, or someone dies, is testing “positive” for COVID-19 proof that the person died from it?
But one aspect that is seldom talked about is the accuracy of the tests themselves. When one watches the corporate-sponsored “mainstream” media news, they all seem to just assume that these tests are always accurate, and therefore the numbers they publish in terms of those affected or those who die are assumed to be accurate.
This week (April 2020), the CEO of the drug company Roche, Severin Schwan, was quoted in a Reuters’ news article as saying that new antibody tests for COVID-19 were “a disaster.”
Fierce Biotech, one of the trade publications for the pharmaceutical industry, published an article on Schwan’s comments.
The current state of antibody testing for COVID-19 is “a disaster,” said Roche CEO Severin Schwan, as a large number of potentially inaccurate tests enter the market fueled by sky-high demand. Many countries are seeking serology tests to better understand whether people are developing a possible immunity to the novel coronavirus. But reports detailing high rates of false-positive and false-negative results are delaying widespread screening. “These tests are not worth anything, or have very little use,” Schwan said during an early Wednesday conference call regarding the company’s first-quarter earnings, according to Reuters. “Some of these companies, I tell you, this is ethically very questionable to get out with this stuff,” he said, adding that Roche analyzed several products currently on the market and found them to be unreliable. “Every kind of amateur could produce an antibody test,” he said. “The two of us could do it overnight in the garage.” Roche is currently developing its own antibody test, set to launch in early May… (Read the full article here.)
Once again, the infighting among pharmaceutical companies to cash in on massive funding for coronavirus products, gives us a glimpse into what is actually happening, if one is willing to turn off their TV long enough to search other sources of information.
There is massive money being spent on COVID-19 testing, and these “antibody” tests are the next new round of products Big Pharma wants to cash in on.
Antibody testing allows one to theoretically see who may have had the Coronavirus but have now recovered from illness caused by COVID-19, where a person’s own immune system has developed antibodies to fight against it.
Such knowledge is key to developing new drugs, including vaccines.
But it is also a double-edged sword for the pharmaceutical industry, because if many people test positive for antibodies with no apparent illness or actual COVID-19 virus present, then it could drastically reduce the death rates that have been reported, and also lower the cost-to-risk ratio for pharmaceutical companies to develop these products if the general public is developing antibodies without the help of pharmaceutical products.
That is exactly what is apparently happening in New York, where the public has been told that the death rate from COVID-19 in New York has been around 7.4%.
But Governor Cuomo has just released results from the State’s first round of antibody testing, and he is reporting that based on these results, the actual death rate is much lower, less than 1%.
As CNBC reports:
“What we found so far is that the statewide number is 13.9% tested positive for having the antibodies,” (Cuomo) said. “They were infected three weeks ago, four weeks ago, five weeks ago, six weeks ago, but they had the virus, they developed the antibodies and they are now recovered.” The state’s mortality rates remains persistently high, at 7.4% with at least 19,453 fatalities and 263,754 confirmed cases, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The antibody testing indicates that the actual death rate is far lower, less than 1%, Cuomo said. (Full article here.)
So at this point, the answer to the following questions, based on research that is not filtered through the corporate “mainstream” media, is basically: “Nobody really knows.”
How many people are infected with COVID-19?
How many people are dying from COVID-19?
Which tests can we trust to give us accurate data?
Have the measures the U.S. Government taken, and States taken, reduced our risk for COVID-19?

With BILLIONS of dollars in revenue at stake for pharmaceutical companies to develop products to “ cure ” the COVID-19 virus , we are seeing plenty of infighting among drug companies as they rush to get products to market .
This infighting among pharmaceutical companies gives the public an insight into what is really going on , if one turns off their TV long enough to search other news sources .

With BILLIONS of dollars in revenue at stake for pharmaceutical companies to develop products to “cure” the COVID-19 virus, we are seeing plenty of infighting among drug companies as they rush to get products to market.
This infighting among pharmaceutical companies gives the public an insight into what is really going on, if one turns off their TV long enough to search other news sources.
As public health officials and politicians tout the benefits of a COVID-19 vaccine that many are saying could be ready as early as the Fall of 2020, experts within the pharmaceutical industry are saying that there is no possible way for this to happen, and that since it would be an entirely new class of vaccines, it could take up to 5 years or longer. See:
In spite of this, many politicians, including some state governors, are stating that they will not completely re-open their states until a vaccine is developed, with the implication that the vaccine will be required to “return to normal” activities.
The pharmaceutical trade publication, Fierce Pharma, published another article this week written by Eric Sagonowsky titled: A bull’s-eye from 24 feet? COVID-19 vaccine timelines are overly hopeful, analyst says.
Some excerpts:
Americans have been told daily that researchers are urgently working on COVID-19 vaccines, and that one might be available in 12 to 18 months. That timeline has made its way to high levels of government and through national media coverage. But one influential biopharma analyst doesn’t buy it—and he has plenty of reasons why. In a 25-page note titled “Sober Up! 25 Reasons Not to Count on COVID Vaccine for Herd Immunity in 1-2 years,” SVB Leerink analyst Geoffrey Porges says it’ll take several years—not months—to develop a safe and effective vaccine and administer it to enough people for widespread protection. “We view the current expectations for a vaccine in this timeframe as the equivalent of standing 24 feet (the usual distance is 8 feet) from a dartboard, with one dart in hand, and counting on a bullseye from one throw,” the analyst wrote. “It is theoretically possible, but highly unlikely, that such expectations are correct.” As the title of his note suggests, Porges doesn’t have one or two concerns about the 12-to 18-month vaccine development timeline. His list of worries spans more than two dozen about the target itself—a novel coronavirus that’s highly communicable—plus concerns about unleashing a vaccine with limited testing. Just consider the history of vaccines, Porges and his team point out. For more than 10 key vaccines now widely used, the time between pathogen discovery to vaccine approval ranged from 10 years to more than 100 years. Many pivotal trials for recently approved shots have taken more than 3.5 years alone, he wrote. Add on the time it would take to manufacture and deploy a quickly developed shot to the masses, and the hoped-for herd immunity looks even farther away. (Full article here.)
Mandatory Flu Vaccine Instead?
In yesterday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force press conference (April 22, 2020), there was a noticeable switch from promoting a yet-to-be-developed COVID-19 vaccine to instead promoting the flu vaccine for this coming Fall, perhaps signifying that the leading health authorities are coming to grips with the fact that there will be no COVID-19 vaccine anytime soon.
President Trump began the Press Conference by addressing what was apparently controversial remarks made by CDC Director Robert R. Redfield during an interview with the Washington Post.
The headline to the Washington Post story was: “CDC director warns second wave of coronavirus is likely to be even more devastating,” and President Trump stated that the CDC Director was misquoted and that this headline was wrong.
He then invited CDC Director Dr. Redfield to come to the podium and further explain the remarks he made in the interview.
Dr. Redfield proceeded to explain that if the coronavirus resurfaced in the Fall, at the same time the flu season was starting, that this would make things “more difficult,” supposedly because they would have a hard time testing to see if people were suffering from the flu or from COVID-19, but that such a situation would not be more “devastating,” a word he claims he did not use in the interview.
He based some of his optimism that the situation would not be as bad as what we are seeing now, because he believed they could handle the influenza portion of such a “complicated” situation.
He expressed optimism that in such a situation, he was confident that the American public would continue to cooperate with public health measures such as personal hygiene and social distancing strategies that may be appropriate again in the Fall.
Then he said:
The key to my comments, and the reason that I really wanted to stress them, was to appeal to the American public to embrace the flu vaccine with confidence. One of the greatest tools we have as we go through the Fall and Winter season that we’re into, is to get the American public to embrace the influenza vaccine, and thereby minimize the impact of flu to be the co-respiratory that we confront.
In a follow up question, he further stated that he was misquoted and that things would not necessarily get worse this Fall if the public cooperated. He said:
Again, here is the appeal to the American public, to recognize that they can really help, like they did with mitigation, which they really helped. I need them to help now to best prepare us by getting the flu vaccine and taking flu out of the picture…. I think the American public is going to heed the requests to relook at their vaccine hesitancy, to vaccine [sic] with confidence for the flu.
A few minutes later Dr. Deborah Birx endorsed what the CDC director said:
I think what Dr. Redfield clearly was asking for, just like we asked for every American to follow the guidelines, he’s saying please add to that guidelines getting your flu shot.
As regular readers of Health Impact News already know, however, is that the CDC is hardly an agency that can be trusted when it comes to vaccines, as they have a very clear conflict of interest simply based on the fact that they are the largest purchaser of vaccines from the pharmaceutical industry, spending over $5 BILLION annually of tax payer funds to purchase vaccines. See:
In addition, by the CDC’s own admission each season, the flu vaccine is a “best-guess” vaccine on which influenza strains to vaccinate for, since the vaccines have to be produced long before the flu season starts, and the vaccine is not a guarantee at all that it will protect you from the flu.
There are also studies in the medical literature that state the flu shot can make people MORE susceptible to other “respiratory virus infections,” (see: Increased Risk of Noninfluenza Respiratory Virus Infections Associated With Receipt of Inactivated Influenza Vaccine) so how can they make the claim that the flu shot will help in a situation where there is also a COVID-19 outbreak, when in fact just the opposite could occur?
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the flu shot is not without risk. The known side effects can be quite serious, including death sometimes, and this is almost NEVER disclosed to the public.
One cannot sue a pharmaceutical company for injuries or deaths due to the flu vaccine. They have to sue in the U.S. Vaccine Court, and the results of the cases are never published in the corporate media, but we publish the quarterly reports every 3 months here at Health Impact News.
Here is the one from March, 2020:
Currently, there are no mandated vaccine laws on the federal level, as this is typically a state issue. And mandatory vaccination laws vary greatly from state to state, with the most common ones being for childhood vaccines as a requirement for school attendance.
However, just as President Trump has invoked the “Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act” (PREP) to take certain actions such as force companies, like General Motors, to produce medical ventilators, so too he could use the same PREP Act to mandate federal mandatory vaccinations during a “pandemic.”
With so many in the pharmaceutical industry now stating that a COVID-19 vaccine is not going to be ready anytime soon, if ever, will the focus now switch to mandatory flu shots for all Americans if not enough Americans voluntarily decide to get them? Yesterday’s Coronavirus Task Force briefing seems to suggest this might be the new direction the government is leaning towards.
