As Food Supply Chains Fail, Small Businesses Step Up to Fill in the Gaps – Time to Restructure the Nation’s Food Security?

Earlier this month ( April , 2020 ) we reported about the shortages of meats at supermarkets , and how this reflected not a shortage of meat in the U.S. , but the failures of our supply chains when a nationwide crisis hits , such as the Coronavirus scare has done .
We discussed how allowing local communities to directly access meat from farmers and ranchers in their own counties and states was the solution to food security issues in our nation ’ s meat supplies .

And remember , this is all simply the result of people staying home .
Imagine how much worse this could be if there were disruptions to our energy sector , and our truckers who transport all this food all across the nation could not get diesel fuel to power their trucks ?

What is the answer to the food security issue ?
Those who have followed our reporting on this issue for the past decade or so will know that my position is that government is NOT the solution , but the problem .
Government food policies are what have created the fragile system we have created , with their cheap subsidized commodity food systems along with their fragile supply chains that are so easily disrupted .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ lies in YOU , the American consumer .
Small businesses all across the country , like many of those featured in the articles reported by Civil Eats , are happy to step in and fill in the gaps .
They don ’ t need , and I am sure most do not want , government subsidies to fuel their businesses .
They need you , the American consumer , to start changing their buying habits , and start supporting local businesses .
We need a return to the “ old fashion ” way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a town butcher , a town baker , local grain mills , and local dairy farms and other kinds of farms producing and selling meats , produce , dairy , and other food staples to the consumer directly through local businesses .

Will it happen ?
Will this be enough of a wake-up call to get even 10 percent of the nation ’ s population to change their buying habits ?
Because that is probably all it will take to turn the tide and start things rolling in the right direction .

As long as we still have a vestige of a free society left , the American consumer is still the most powerful force to change our food security problem in the U.S .

When Restaurants Become Grocery Stores
In yet another excellent article published by Civil Eats, Jodi Helmer wrote a report titled:
In our article about Wyoming’s Food Freedom Act and the nation’s meat supply issues, we mentioned how the closing of restaurants and other venues that serve food, such as sporting and entertainment events, was what was putting a strain on the meat market supplies.
With the entire nation confined to their homes and unable to visit restaurants and other venues where food is served, this in turn created a huge demand for more food at grocery stores, while bulk food distributors were left with an excess of inventory that was not packaged properly for retail sales.
Helmer’s article documents how some restaurants have dealt with this situation while solving two problems at once: providing more business for their restaurant so they could stay in business, and providing much needed items to their consumers that they could not find in their local grocery stores, such as eggs, flour, and toilet paper.

In the last two weeks, she has stocked (and sold out of) staples such as eggs, salt, and lemons; customers purchased 100 pounds of flour in a single afternoon. The coronavirus pandemic has led Foreign & Domestic to evolve from a full-service restaurant into a grocery store. “We knew that people were having trouble finding things at the stores,” Heard recalls. “We thought it could help the neighborhood—and it’s possibly the only reason we’re staying afloat.” The pandemic dealt a significant blow to restaurants.

What is the answer to the food security issue?
Those who have followed our reporting on this issue for the past decade or so will know that my position is that government is NOT the solution, but the problem.
Government food policies are what have created the fragile system we have created, with their cheap subsidized commodity food systems along with their fragile supply chains that are so easily disrupted.
No, the answer to food security lies in YOU, the American consumer. Small businesses all across the country, like many of those featured in the articles reported by Civil Eats, are happy to step in and fill in the gaps. They don’t need, and I am sure most do not want, government subsidies to fuel their businesses.
They need you, the American consumer, to start changing their buying habits, and start supporting local businesses.
We need a return to the “old fashion” way of conducting business, where there is a town butcher, a town baker, local grain mills, and local dairy farms and other kinds of farms producing and selling meats, produce, dairy, and other food staples to the consumer directly through local businesses.
Those in the metropolitan areas need to find like-minded neighbors and fellow city residents to band together and form co-ops and buying clubs to support farmers that may be located further out in the rural areas, to more efficiently bring that food from the farm to the tables of those in the cities.
When this country was founded in the 1700s, 90% of the population was involved in agriculture. When the Civil War started under President Lincoln, it was about 50% of the population in agriculture feeding the other 50%.
Today it is less than 1% of the population feeding the other 99%, and just a handful of companies controlling the nation’s food supply.

But if everyone sits around and waits for the government to provide solutions, we can see what their history is. They will decide who to bail out and who not to bail out, and they will decide who wins and who loses. And we all know how that turns out.
If government truly wants to help bring food security to our nation’s food supply chains, then the best thing they can do is REMOVE barriers that prevent direct farm-to-consumer sales, such as the Wyoming Food Freedom Act that we highlighted earlier this month, and then get out of the way and let consumers and small businesses flourish in this nation once again.
As long as we still have a vestige of a free society left, the American consumer is still the most powerful force to change our food security problem in the U.S.


healthimpactnews--2020-04-24--California ER Physicians: Sheltering in Place Does More Harm than Good – Lowers Our Immune System

Doctors Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi of Accelerated Urgent Care in Kern County , California refuse to wear masks outside .
They say the longer people stay inside , the more their immune system drops .
Local NBC News affiliate KGET in Bakersfield interviewed the two doctors this week ( April 2020 ) , and the video of the interview was posted on their Facebook Page where it has already been viewed by almost 3 million people at the time of this publication .
Will Facebook remove it , since these doctors disagree with other health authorities ?
We are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Google is also censoring views like this on YouTube also , so it will be interesting to see if they censor something a corporate-sponsored “ mainstream ” media source has published at the local affiliate in Bakersfield , California .
The doctors are reportedly the owners of the largest testing site in Kern County , Califorina .
They ’ ve tested over 5000 people already for COVID-19 .
Some quotes from the doctors : We both have had extensive classes in microbiology and biochemistry and immunology .

We ’ re doing testing experiments to figure out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so this has caused some severe disruption for Accelerated as we have people coming in 7 a.m. until midnight .
Typically you quarantine the sick .
When someone has measles , you quarantine them .
We ’ ve never seen where we quarantine the healthy , where you take those without disease , and without symptoms , and lock them in ( their ) home .
Based on the volume of data they have collected and observed over the past two months , they say : Does it necessitate the shut down , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oil companies ( Bakersfield is a big producer of petroleum ) , furloughing doctors ?
If you have no symptoms , you should be able to return to work .
Are you an asymptomatic virus shedder ?

We are publishing the YouTube version below, although Google is also censoring views like this on YouTube, so it will be interesting to see if they censor something a corporate-sponsored “mainstream” media source has published at the local affiliate in Bakersfield, California.
The doctors are reportedly the owners of the largest testing site in Kern County, Califorina. They’ve tested over 5000 people already for COVID-19.
Some quotes from the doctors:
We both have had extensive classes in microbiology and biochemistry and immunology. We’ve studied this for each of us 20 years. And we take everything that we’re seeing today, and put that against that back drop and say: “Does this make sense?” Are we following the science? We keep hearing “following the science.” What is the science essentially? It’s the study of the natural world for experiment through observation. So that’s what we’re doing. We’re studying the disease around us, or making observations. We’re doing testing experiments to figure out exactly what’s on. And so this has caused some severe disruption for Accelerated as we have people coming in 7 a.m. until midnight.
They continue:
Typically you quarantine the sick. When someone has measles, you quarantine them. We’ve never seen where we quarantine the healthy, where you take those without disease, and without symptoms, and lock them in (their) home.
Based on the volume of data they have collected and observed over the past two months, they say:
Does it necessitate the shut down, loss of jobs, destruction of the oil companies (Bakersfield is a big producer of petroleum), furloughing doctors? If you have no symptoms, you should be able to return to work. Are you an asymptomatic virus shedder? Maybe. But we can’t test all of humanity. Is the flu less dangerous than COVID? Let’s look at the death rates. No, its not. They’re similar in prevalence and death rate.
Regarding sheltering in place:
As I shelter in place, my immune system drops. You keep me there for months, it drops more. The secondary effects, the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue – all of these are, in our opinion, significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu that we have every year.

healthimpactnews--2020-04-26--Harvard Law Professor Calls for Ban on Homeschooling While Everyone is Forced to do it

Harvard Family Law Professor Elizabeth Bartholet is at it again .
At a time when schools all across the nation are closed , with many parents of school-aged children also out of work and families confined to their homes during a nationwide lock down that is undoubtedly causing much stress , and forcing families to homeschool even if they have never done it before , Elizabeth Bartholet has come out publicly and called for a ban on homeschooling , stating : Her comments were published in the Arizona Law Review .
Bartholet believes children are best educated in schools , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and can report suspected child abuse to local Child Protective Services ( CPS ) .
Every state has legislation imposing affirmative duties to protect children against parental maltreatment and a related child protection system .
This system includes child protective services ( “ CPS ” ) , agencies charged with enforcing the laws that protect children , and mandatory reporting requirements making teachers and other school personnel responsible for reporting suspected child maltreatment to CPS .
Every state requires parents to comply with compulsory education requirements either by covering “ educational neglect ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truancy laws penalizing parents for not sending their children to school .
What Bartholet fails to mention , however , is that States may be losing revenue during the lock downs , due to the fact that a certain quota of children need to be put into the Foster Care system to collect federal funding , and teachers at schools are one of the main ways children are seized by CPS and put into the Foster Care system .
That funnel of children entering into the system has been cut off for now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Professor Bartholet previously here at Health Impact News on our MedicalKidnap.com website .
Bartholet believes the State should approve ALL parents before they are allowed to parent their own children , and is in favor of in-home visits to approve parenting , not just their ability to homeschool .
Richard Wexler , Executive Director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform , wrote : Will Everyone in the U.S .
Soon Need Government Approval to be Parents and Keep Their Children ?
Some states have adopted Bartholet ’ s views as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hole ” between homeschooling children and childhood vaccines , as one reason many parents in states with mandatory vaccination laws homeschool their children is to avoid compulsory vaccines required for school attendance , especially in those states where the religious exemption for vaccines has been removed .
See : Bartholet ’ s disdain for religious teaching , especially conservative Christian teaching , is very obvious .
The other was a conservative Christian movement , which rejected many of the views and values reflected in public education and the larger society as inconsistent with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the conservative Christian wing became the clear majority of all homeschoolers .
Estimates of the number of homeschoolers who are religious , or for whom religion is a primary reason for homeschooling , range from over half to 90 % .
Some homeschooling parents are extreme religious ideologues who live in near-total isolation and hold views in serious conflict with those generally deemed central in our society .
Ironically , these same “ conservative Christian ” groups that she attacks have actually invited her to some of their conferences in the past @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speakers at the 2014 Together for Adoption Conference in Greenville , South Carolina , for example .
The theme of the 2014 conference was “ Urgency & Complexity : Biblical & Ethical Approaches to the Orphan Crisis , ” and it was sponsored by such well-known groups as Focus on the Family and Lifeline Children ’ s Services .
This highlights a problem that I believe I have been the only one to address so far : the double standard Christian churches and organizations have when they object to someone like Bartholet ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ views of conservative Christians , but her views are fair game if it involves Christians taking other people ’ s children through adoption or foster care , all in the name of “ Orphan Care , ” where they conveniently redefine the meaning of “ orphan ” to justify their own child trafficking .
Christian Churches Redefine the Meaning of “ Orphan ” to Justify Participating in Child Trafficking State-funded Foster Care and The Church : Part of the Problem , NOT Part of the Solution I get scathing responses from Christians every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the fact remains that while teachers in public schools are one of the primary means of removing children from their parents into the custody of the State through CPS and then put into foster care , foster care could not survive today without the Christian Churches and organizations that make up the bulk of the agencies overseeing foster care .

Harvard Family Law Professor Elizabeth Bartholet is at it again.
At a time when schools all across the nation are closed, with many parents of school-aged children also out of work and families confined to their homes during a nationwide lock down that is undoubtedly causing much stress, and forcing families to homeschool even if they have never done it before, Elizabeth Bartholet has come out publicly and called for a ban on homeschooling, stating:
The issue is, do we think that parents should have 24/7, essentially authoritarian control over their children from ages zero to 18? I think that’s dangerous. I think it’s always dangerous to put powerful people in charge of the powerless, and to give the powerful ones total authority. (Source.)
Her comments were published in the Arizona Law Review.
Bartholet believes children are best educated in schools, where teachers are “mandated reporters” and can report suspected child abuse to local Child Protective Services (CPS).
Every state has legislation imposing affirmative duties to protect children against parental maltreatment and a related child protection system. This system includes child protective services (“CPS”), agencies charged with enforcing the laws that protect children, and mandatory reporting requirements making teachers and other school personnel responsible for reporting suspected child maltreatment to CPS. Every state requires parents to comply with compulsory education requirements either by covering “educational neglect” in child protection laws, or by truancy laws penalizing parents for not sending their children to school.
What Bartholet fails to mention, however, is that States may be losing revenue during the lock downs, due to the fact that a certain quota of children need to be put into the Foster Care system to collect federal funding, and teachers at schools are one of the main ways children are seized by CPS and put into the Foster Care system.
That funnel of children entering into the system has been cut off for now.
We have covered the extremist views of Professor Bartholet previously here at Health Impact News on our MedicalKidnap.com website.
Bartholet believes the State should approve ALL parents before they are allowed to parent their own children, and is in favor of in-home visits to approve parenting, not just their ability to homeschool.
Richard Wexler, Executive Director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, wrote:
Bartholet’s ideas are so extreme that they include requiring every family with a young child to open itself to mandatory government surveillance. (That’s not an exaggeration. There’s a summary of her views in the section of this post to the NCCPR Child Welfare Blog called “Harvard’s resident extremist” and the details are in her own book, Nobody’s Children, pp. 170, 171).
See:
Some states have adopted Bartholet’s views as a way to close the “loop hole” between homeschooling children and childhood vaccines, as one reason many parents in states with mandatory vaccination laws homeschool their children is to avoid compulsory vaccines required for school attendance, especially in those states where the religious exemption for vaccines has been removed. See:
Bartholet’s disdain for religious teaching, especially conservative Christian teaching, is very obvious.
The other was a conservative Christian movement, which rejected many of the views and values reflected in public education and the larger society as inconsistent with religious beliefs. As time went on, the conservative Christian wing became the clear majority of all homeschoolers. Estimates of the number of homeschoolers who are religious, or for whom religion is a primary reason for homeschooling, range from over half to 90%. Some homeschooling parents are extreme religious ideologues who live in near-total isolation and hold views in serious conflict with those generally deemed central in our society.
Ironically, these same “conservative Christian” groups that she attacks have actually invited her to some of their conferences in the past.
She was one of the main speakers at the 2014 Together for Adoption Conference in Greenville, South Carolina, for example.
The theme of the 2014 conference was “Urgency & Complexity: Biblical & Ethical Approaches to the Orphan Crisis,” and it was sponsored by such well-known groups as Focus on the Family and Lifeline Children’s Services.
This highlights a problem that I believe I have been the only one to address so far: the double standard Christian churches and organizations have when they object to someone like Bartholet’s views on homeschooling and her dim views of conservative Christians, but her views are fair game if it involves Christians taking other people’s children through adoption or foster care, all in the name of “Orphan Care,” where they conveniently redefine the meaning of “orphan” to justify their own child trafficking.
See:
I get scathing responses from Christians every time I bring up this topic, but the fact remains that while teachers in public schools are one of the primary means of removing children from their parents into the custody of the State through CPS and then put into foster care, foster care could not survive today without the Christian Churches and organizations that make up the bulk of the agencies overseeing foster care.

Meat processor shutdowns = prime time for PRIME Act
by Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance
In the last week, the media headlines have included concerns about possible meat shortages. Livestock farmers and ranchers across the country are verging on bankruptcy – while consumers are facing increasing prices and empty shelves in the groceries.
With hundreds of millions of livestock and poultry in this country, why are we having these problems?
COVID-19 is not the reason for the problems, it’s just the straw that is breaking the camel’s back in our deeply flawed food system. Four companies control processing of over 80% of the country’s beef, and four companies control processing of two-thirds of the country’s pork. The consolidation has led to most meat being processed at massive plants where as many as 400 cattle are slaughtered an hour. Workers in these facilities labor under very difficult and often unsafe conditions – and that’s before you add in the issue of a highly contagious disease.
Yet the government regulations are designed for these massive, industrial-scale facilities, making it difficult or sometimes even impossible for small-scale facilities to comply. And federal law requires that “state inspected” facilities use the exact same USDA standards, leaving no flexibility for states to develop standards better suited to small operators.
So we have a shortage of small-scale processors in this country, and small-scale livestock farmers have few places they can take their animals for processing. In some areas of the country, the nearest USDA or equivalent state facility may be several hours’ drive away or more.
There are alternatives, known as “custom slaughterhouses,” which legally operate in many states. But the meat from them can only be provided back to – and consumed by the family of – the person who owned the animal when it entered the slaughterhouse. A consumer who is not able to pay for and store hundreds of pounds of meat in one order is unable to access the meat from a custom slaughterhouse. And a farmer who wants to sell his or her beef, lamb, goat, or pork to consumers at a local farmers’ market or other local outlet cannot use a custom slaughterhouse.
The PRIME Act, H.R. 2859/ S.1620, addresses this problem and can help with both the short-term crisis and the long-term change we need in our food system. TAKE ACTION TO SUPPORT THIS IMPORTANT BILL.
The PRIME Act repeals the federal ban on the sale of meat from custom slaughterhouses. The bill returns control to the states to address the issue of meat processing. States would be able to permit producers to sell meat processed at a custom slaughterhouse within the state. States could choose to impose whatever conditions or limitations that best suited their particular agricultural, food system, and social conditions.
These facilities meet state regulations as well as basic federal requirements. They are typically very small with few employees. The extensive and complicated federal regulations that apply to massive meatpacking facilities are neither needed nor appropriate for these operations, which might process as much meat in an entire year as the large facilities do in a single day. Their small scale also means that they are better able to provide necessary social distancing and sanitation measures while safely continuing operations.
The PRIME Act could help improve access and reduce meat prices for consumers in the coming months, while providing income for small farmers and ranchers across the country. And it has many long-term benefits:
Help establish vital infrastructure in rural communities.
Improve farmers’ incomes and opportunities.
Increase consumers’ access to locally raised meats.
Reduce stress on animals from long-distance hauling.
Reduce transportation miles and greenhouse gases.
The PRIME Act has bipartisan support, but it has languished with no committee hearing or movement. Will you help?
TAKE ACTION #1: Do you represent a non-profit organization, or own a farm or ranch?
Sign on to our letter to the House Agriculture Committee urging them to move the PRIME Act forward!

As a constituent, I urge Representative ____ to co-sponsor H.R. 2859, the PRIME Act. [OR: I urge Senator ___ to co-sponsor S.1620, the PRIME Act.]
As Americans face potential meat shortages due to the closing of massive meatpackers, it is more important than ever to revitalize our local food production and processing. The PRIME Act opens up options for small livestock farms and ranches by removing the federal ban on the sale of meat from custom slaughterhouses within a state, subject to state law. This returns power to the states to establish a regulatory scheme that makes sense for their citizens.
At a time when we see empty grocery store shelves, and media headlines about the failure of massive meatpacking companies to safely secure our food supply, this bill provides vital opportunities – and many long-term benefits. The PRIME Act supports local food production and small businesses, while also reducing vehicle miles traveled with livestock trailers, and helping to meet the consumer demand for locally raised meat.

Front Line Medical Workers Speak Out on COVID19 Treatments: “Patients are Left to Rot and Die – This is Murder”

For almost a decade now Health Impact News has been bringing the public information that goes against the pharmaceutical industry narrative , with vital information that impacts people ’ s health that is routinely censored in the corporate-sponsored “ mainstream ” media .
We present “ the other side , ” and give a voice to the voiceless whenever possible .
As we move into the last week of April , 2020 , medical personnel working on the front lines of the COVID-19 response are increasingly speaking out about what they are seeing and experiencing , which they claim is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corporate-sponsored media is portraying .
Many of them fear to reveal their identity or location , because there are claims that those who speak out are losing their jobs .
This presents a dilemma for truth seekers , as in those situations one has to take what is being said at face-value , and make a judgment call as to whether or not what is being claimed is true or not , without being able to directly verify the reports .
There are , however , some doctors who have identified themselves , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doctors , and will review their claims again at the end of this article .
They have reportedly received ridicule and attacks as a result of going public with their information .
To add to the problem of trying to access and understand this information , social media tech giants Facebook and Google ( via YouTube ) have publicly stated that they are actively removing content that they deem “ fake news ” and that generally does not fit the narrative that the corporate media wants to spin .
This past weekend , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sara P. ” and claims to be a “ licensed and certified ” nurse , posted a video on Facebook where she claims that she is speaking out for a friend of hers who is a nurse that traveled to New York to work on the front lines of COVID-19 treatment , and was appalled by what she saw , and therefore wanted to expose what she was seeing to the rest of the country , but she feared identifying herself or the place where she was working .
She encouraged everyone to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go “ viral.
” Her Facebook account has since been apparently deleted , but there are still copies of her video on YouTube .
We present one of those here .
I have a friend in New York City who is on the front lines and for her safety she can not come out and say these things , so I am her voice .
People are sick , but they do not have to stay sick .
They are killing them .
They are not helping them .
She used the word @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming from a nurse who went to New York City , expecting to help .
Patients are left to rot and die .
Her words .
She has never seen so much neglect .
No one cares .
They are cold , and they don ’ t care anymore .
What is happening , is that they are putting people on nasal cannula .
If they require more than six liters of nasal cannula , they get intubated .
They go on the vent or they get trached ( tracheostomy ) if there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t get high flow , no non-rebreather , no non-invasive ventilation , no CPAP , no BiPAP .
They ’ re on a closed system – the ventilator , versus a CPAP or BiPAP , for fear it will spread the virus .
Which by the way I know a nurse in Florida who was fired for exposing that – about CPAP and BiPAP and patients being put on the ventilator – like straight away to the ventilator to be on a closed system .
The patients don ’ t know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have family with them .
There is no one there with them to advocate for them .
So they are scared and they give consent .
She then goes on to reference what Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell has also revealed regarding the wrong use of ventilators .
Another video that recently was published on YouTube is from a respiratory therapist ( he has been incorrectly called a “ nurse ” in some versions ) .
This man recorded his testimony while wearing a mask , and did not reveal his identity or location .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ventilators .
However , the hospital where he works apparently saw his video and pressured him to take it down .
Some copies remain online , and the copy we are publishing below has received over 173,000 views since April 19th .
One of the comments I want to post here , as the video may soon be removed , is from a user named 5 : My dad passed away today after 17 days in the icu alone .
3 days on ventilator , kidneys failed , lungs , heart , brain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see him until he passed away .
This is so very wrong my dad had pneumonia and was terrified they would ventilate him .
The covid test came back at 2 days .
He finally crashed and they immediately ventilated him and he went into septic shock and had a heart attack .
2 days later , today he crashed again in the morning they did not call me until 3 hrs later .
When i saw him i was so beyond crushed , my dads trachea was broken , bed sores , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of o2 and septic shock .
5 days before they ventilated he was getting better .
Couldnt even tell my dad goodbye Some quotes from this man who claims to be a respiratory therapist : I am a respiratory therapist and I ’ ve been doing this for 21 years .
I wanted to show you our equipment room .
The first thing I want to say is , does it look like there is a ventilator shortage ?
There ’ s not .
As a matter of fact , we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ normally run , and that ’ s because people are just staying home .
They ’ re not having elective surgery .
Any patient that came in with a respiratory problem was labeled as “ Covid.
” It doesn ’ t matter if you have Stage 4 lung cancer , pancreatitis or heart disease , liver failure and everything else .
Because you come in with breathing problems , you ’ re labeled a Covid patient .
You have to recognize that if every single patient is under investigation as Covid… and dies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death .
And they ’ re showing the numbers like a football game , to scare you .
They ’ re showing you loading bodies into a tractor trailer to scare you .
I ’ ve never in my career ever seen bodies loaded into a tractor trailer .
It just doesn ’ t happen .
I wonder if those were even bodies – I really don ’ t believe it .
All this stuff is fake .
Let ’ s talk about ventilators and why there would be a shortage of ventilators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is non-invasive ventilation here , CPAP or BiPAP .
This is a mask that gets strapped on you and we can help you breath with that .
We ’ re not allowed to use those .
For the most part , since Covid came out they said “ absolutely not , ” that ’ s going to cause the virus to spread all over the place by spraying aerosols everywhere .
And so we can ’ t use it .
You have to let the patient crash and go straight to a ventilator @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the way we would treat a patient .
We also have aerosolized medication , bronchol dilators , but we ’ re not allowed to use those either .
So everything we would traditionally do , we ’ re not allowed to do .
Every patient that comes in , no matter what their history , is labeled Covid under investigation .
So if that patient dies , that becomes a Covid death .
So there ’ s a lot of weird things going on… .
These are just a few of the videos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the front lines .
It is hard to keep up with them all , as they frequently disappear , as these videos may also .
Some doctors who have gone public have identified themselves , and we have previously covered them here at Health Impact News .
Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell in New York , who is an emergency room and ICU doctor , was one of the first .

For almost a decade now Health Impact News has been bringing the public information that goes against the pharmaceutical industry narrative, with vital information that impacts people’s health that is routinely censored in the corporate-sponsored “mainstream” media.
We present “the other side,” and give a voice to the voiceless whenever possible.
As we move into the last week of April, 2020, medical personnel working on the front lines of the COVID-19 response are increasingly speaking out about what they are seeing and experiencing, which they claim is a completely different narrative from what the corporate-sponsored media is portraying.
Many of them fear to reveal their identity or location, because there are claims that those who speak out are losing their jobs.
This presents a dilemma for truth seekers, as in those situations one has to take what is being said at face-value, and make a judgment call as to whether or not what is being claimed is true or not, without being able to directly verify the reports.
There are, however, some doctors who have identified themselves, and we have covered some of these doctors, and will review their claims again at the end of this article. They have reportedly received ridicule and attacks as a result of going public with their information.
To add to the problem of trying to access and understand this information, social media tech giants Facebook and Google (via YouTube) have publicly stated that they are actively removing content that they deem “fake news” and that generally does not fit the narrative that the corporate media wants to spin.
This past weekend, a woman who is identified as “Sara P.” and claims to be a “licensed and certified” nurse, posted a video on Facebook where she claims that she is speaking out for a friend of hers who is a nurse that traveled to New York to work on the front lines of COVID-19 treatment, and was appalled by what she saw, and therefore wanted to expose what she was seeing to the rest of the country, but she feared identifying herself or the place where she was working.
She encouraged everyone to share the video so that it would go “viral.” Her Facebook account has since been apparently deleted, but there are still copies of her video on YouTube. We present one of those here.
Some quotes:
I have a friend in New York City who is on the front lines and for her safety she cannot come out and say these things, so I am her voice. People are sick, but they do not have to stay sick. They are killing them. They are not helping them. She used the word “murder.” (This is) coming from a nurse who went to New York City, expecting to help. Patients are left to rot and die. Her words. She has never seen so much neglect. No one cares. They are cold, and they don’t care anymore. What is happening, is that they are putting people on nasal cannula. If they require more than six liters of nasal cannula, they get intubated. They go on the vent or they get trached (tracheostomy) if there’s not enough vents. They don’t get high flow, no non-rebreather, no non-invasive ventilation, no CPAP, no BiPAP. They’re on a closed system – the ventilator, versus a CPAP or BiPAP, for fear it will spread the virus. Which by the way I know a nurse in Florida who was fired for exposing that – about CPAP and BiPAP and patients being put on the ventilator – like straight away to the ventilator to be on a closed system. The patients don’t know any better. They don’t have family with them. There is no one there with them to advocate for them. So they are scared and they give consent.
She then goes on to reference what Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell has also revealed regarding the wrong use of ventilators.
Listen to the entire video testimony:
Another video that recently was published on YouTube is from a respiratory therapist (he has been incorrectly called a “nurse” in some versions).
This man recorded his testimony while wearing a mask, and did not reveal his identity or location. He too talks about the problem with ventilators.

Couldnt even tell my dad goodbye
Some quotes from this man who claims to be a respiratory therapist:
I am a respiratory therapist and I’ve been doing this for 21 years. I wanted to show you our equipment room. The first thing I want to say is, does it look like there is a ventilator shortage? There’s not. As a matter of fact, we’re running less ventilators now than we would normally run, and that’s because people are just staying home. They’re not having elective surgery. Any patient that came in with a respiratory problem was labeled as “Covid.” It doesn’t matter if you have Stage 4 lung cancer, pancreatitis or heart disease, liver failure and everything else.

I wonder if those were even bodies – I really don’t believe it. All this stuff is fake. Let’s talk about ventilators and why there would be a shortage of ventilators. Well, this (pointing) is non-invasive ventilation here, CPAP or BiPAP. This is a mask that gets strapped on you and we can help you breath with that. We’re not allowed to use those. For the most part, since Covid came out they said “absolutely not,” that’s going to cause the virus to spread all over the place by spraying aerosols everywhere. And so we can’t use it. You have to let the patient crash and go straight to a ventilator. Traditionally, that’s not the way we would treat a patient.

Every patient that comes in, no matter what their history, is labeled Covid under investigation. So if that patient dies, that becomes a Covid death. So there’s a lot of weird things going on….

healthimpactnews--2020-04-29--FBI Targeting “Anti-Vaxxers” for Causing COVID Pandemic Allegedly Backed by Russia

Since a 1986 law was passed prohibiting citizens of the United States from suing pharmaceutical companies for damages caused by vaccines , the U.S. Government , through its special “ Vaccine Court , ” has quietly paid out BILLIONS of dollars in damages to families who have suffered injuries and death due to vaccines .
Here at Health Impact News we publish the required quarterly reports provided by the Department of Justice on these settlements , and we are , as far as I know , the only ones who publish these reports .
The one from last month ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is reported here : Over $ 57 Million Paid by U.S. Government for Vaccine Injuries in 2020 as Experimental Coronavirus Vaccine Fast Tracked This law was passed due to the fact that too many lawsuits were being filed against pharmaceutical companies for vaccine injuries and deaths , and so the industry approached the U.S. Congress and threatened to stop making vaccines if they were not given legal immunity from these lawsuits .
Congress obliged , and President Ronald Reagan signed into law the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program .
Today , if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or killed by vaccines , you must sue the U.S. Government and go up against their top attorneys to try and get compensation .
During the first few years of the program , so many claims were being made for autism as a result of vaccine injuries , that they decided to just try a few cases before their Special Masters , and based on those handful of cases , they would determine if vaccines caused autism or not .
You can imagine how this self-appointed and self-contained court ruled .
Today , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after suffering a reaction to a vaccine , you have absolutely no recourse .
The rate of children being diagnosed with autism in our country has sky rocketed from 1 in 10,000 to about 1 in 50 , and the U.S. Government assures us that it is NOT the result of vaccines , although they can not tell us what is causing the sky rocketing rates .
They want us to believe it is genetic , so they can develop a drug to cure it .
I do not believe I am exaggerating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ families across this nation with vaccine-damaged children .
These parents were formerly pro-vaccine , and after watching their children suffer from the effects of vaccines , they are now ridiculed and ostracized by the corporate media as “ anti-vaxxers.
” With so many families suffering from the devastating effects of vaccines , you can imagine that the parents cross over into all sectors of our society , and can be found among medical doctors , attorneys , politicians , scientists and every other sector in our society .
We have published scores of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doctors and scientists who don ’ t follow the Big Pharma and corporate media narrative on vaccines , and as such are usually labeled “ quacks.
” They all share a common bond , as they are labeled “ anti-vaxxers ” and are blamed for everything from bringing back childhood diseases , to causing “ epidemics ” like measles outbreaks .
And now , they are being blamed for causing the COVID-19 pandemic , which allegedly was backed by Russia , according to an organization that allegedly works with the FBI .
Is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of mandating vaccines for every single adult and child who lives on Planet Earth ?
Some excerpts from The Guardian ’ s article : US was warned of threat from anti-vaxxers in event of pandemic FBI-connected researchers suggested biggest threat in controlling outbreak was from ‘ those who categorically reject vaccination ’ America ’ s “ anti-vaxxer movement ” would pose a threat to national security in the event of a “ pandemic with a novel organism ” , an FBI-connected non-profit research group warned last year , just months before the global @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paper put out by the little-known in-house journal of InfraGard – a national security group affiliated with the FBI – experts warned the US anti-vaccine movement would also be connected with “ social media misinformation and propaganda campaigns ” orchestrated by the Russian government .
Since the virus hit America , anti-vaccination activists and some sympathetic legislators around the country have led or participated in protests against stay-at-home orders designed to slow the spread of the deadly virus .
On its website , InfraGard says it is an “ FBI-affiliated nonprofit organization dedicated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mission to protect “ United States critical infrastructure ” .

Since a 1986 law was passed prohibiting citizens of the United States from suing pharmaceutical companies for damages caused by vaccines, the U.S. Government, through its special “Vaccine Court,” has quietly paid out BILLIONS of dollars in damages to families who have suffered injuries and death due to vaccines.
Here at Health Impact News we publish the required quarterly reports provided by the Department of Justice on these settlements, and we are, as far as I know, the only ones who publish these reports.
The one from last month’s meeting (March, 2020) is reported here:
This law was passed due to the fact that too many lawsuits were being filed against pharmaceutical companies for vaccine injuries and deaths, and so the industry approached the U.S. Congress and threatened to stop making vaccines if they were not given legal immunity from these lawsuits.
Congress obliged, and President Ronald Reagan signed into law the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Today, if you or any of your children are injured or killed by vaccines, you must sue the U.S. Government and go up against their top attorneys to try and get compensation.
During the first few years of the program, so many claims were being made for autism as a result of vaccine injuries, that they decided to just try a few cases before their Special Masters, and based on those handful of cases, they would determine if vaccines caused autism or not.
You can imagine how this self-appointed and self-contained court ruled. Today, if your child is diagnosed with autism after suffering a reaction to a vaccine, you have absolutely no recourse.
The rate of children being diagnosed with autism in our country has sky rocketed from 1 in 10,000 to about 1 in 50, and the U.S. Government assures us that it is NOT the result of vaccines, although they cannot tell us what is causing the sky rocketing rates.
They want us to believe it is genetic, so they can develop a drug to cure it.
I do not believe I am exaggerating when I say there are millions of families across this nation with vaccine-damaged children.
These parents were formerly pro-vaccine, and after watching their children suffer from the effects of vaccines, they are now ridiculed and ostracized by the corporate media as “anti-vaxxers.”
With so many families suffering from the devastating effects of vaccines, you can imagine that the parents cross over into all sectors of our society, and can be found among medical doctors, attorneys, politicians, scientists and every other sector in our society.
We have published scores of articles by many of them, particularly doctors and scientists who don’t follow the Big Pharma and corporate media narrative on vaccines, and as such are usually labeled “quacks.”
They all share a common bond, as they are labeled “anti-vaxxers” and are blamed for everything from bringing back childhood diseases, to causing “epidemics” like measles outbreaks.
And now, they are being blamed for causing the COVID-19 pandemic, which allegedly was backed by Russia, according to an organization that allegedly works with the FBI.
Is this the last step in their goal of mandating vaccines for every single adult and child who lives on Planet Earth?
Some excerpts from The Guardian’s article:
FBI-connected researchers suggested biggest threat in controlling outbreak was from ‘those who categorically reject vaccination’
by Jason Wilson
Excerpts:
America’s “anti-vaxxer movement” would pose a threat to national security in the event of a “pandemic with a novel organism”, an FBI-connected non-profit research group warned last year, just months before the global coronavirus pandemic began.
In a research paper put out by the little-known in-house journal of InfraGard – a national security group affiliated with the FBI – experts warned the US anti-vaccine movement would also be connected with “social media misinformation and propaganda campaigns” orchestrated by the Russian government.
Since the virus hit America, anti-vaccination activists and some sympathetic legislators around the country have led or participated in protests against stay-at-home orders designed to slow the spread of the deadly virus.
On its website, InfraGard says it is an “FBI-affiliated nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening national security” with a mission to protect “United States critical infrastructure”. It says it consists of local chapters and that “an FBI special agent from each field office is assigned to serve as a private sector coordinator”.
The paper, jointly written by a security consultant and a senior doctor in New York State’s largest hospital network, warned: “The biggest threat in controlling an outbreak comes from those who categorically reject vaccination.”
The paper, entitled The Anti-Vaxxers Movement and National Security, was co-written by Dr Mark Jarrett, the chief quality officer, senior vice-president and associate chief medical officer at Northwell Health; and Christine Sublett, a health industry-focused cybersecurity consultant.
It lays out a pandemic scenario remarkably similar to the one now afflicting the US along with most of the world, including that “social distancing and isolation have impacts that include loss of manufactured goods, reduced food supply, and other disruptions to the supply chain”.
The article then turns to the anti-vaccine movement, arguing that sufficient resistance to vaccination would hobble the chances of reaching herd immunity to a highly infectious pathogen.
The paper also says that such movements have received a boost in recent years due to their “alignment with other conspiracy movements including the far right … and social media misinformation and propaganda campaigns by many foreign and domestic actors. Included among these actors is the Internet Research Agency, the Russian government–aligned organization.”
