stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-29--9 Covid Facts THEY Don’t Want You to See

( Jeff Harris ) Ever since the alleged pandemic erupted this past March the mainstream media has spewed a non-stop stream of misinformation that appears to be laser focused on generating maximum fear among the citizenry .
But the facts and the science simply don ’ t support the grave picture painted of a deadly virus sweeping the land .
Yes we do have a pandemic , but it ’ s a pandemic of ginned up pseudo-science masquerading as unbiased fact .
Here are nine facts backed up with data , in many cases from the CDC itself that paints @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and dread being relentlessly drummed into the brains of unsuspecting citizens .
According to an article in the New York Times August 29th 2020 testing for the Covid-19 virus using the popular PCR method results in up to 90 % of those tested showing positive results that are grossly misleading .
Officials in Massachusetts , New York and Nevada compiled testing data that revealed the PCR test can NOT determine the amount of virus in a sample ( viral load ) .
The amount of virus in up to 90 % of positive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the patient was asymptomatic and posed no threat to others .
So the positive Covid-19 tests are virtually meaningless .
For some reason every positive Covid-19 test is immediately designated a CASE .
As we saw in # 1 above up to 90 % of positive Covid-19 tests result in miniscule amounts of virus that do not sicken the subject .
Historically only patients who demonstrated actual symptoms of an illness were considered a case .
Publishing positive test results as “ CASES ” is grossly misleading and needlessly alarming .
3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lowered The Covid-19 Death Count On August 30th the CDC released new data that showed only 6 % of the deaths previously attributed to Covid-19 were due exclusively to the virus .
The vast majority , 94 % , may have had exposure to Covid-19 but also had preexisting illnesses like heart disease , obesity , hypertension , cancer and various respiratory illnesses .
While they died with Covid-19 they did NOT die exclusively from Covid-19 .
The CDC updated their “ Current Best Estimate ” for Covid-19 survival on September 10th showing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the virus survived .
[ According to the CDC , Covid-19 poses virtually no death risk for people under the age of 50 ] .
Another way to say this is that less than 1 % of the exposures are potentially life threatening .
According to the CDC the vast majority of deaths attributed to Covid-19 were concentrated in the population over age 70 , close to normal life expectancy .
5 ) CDC Reveals 85 % Of Positive Covid Cases Wore Face Masks Always Or Often In September of 2020 the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conducted in July where they discovered that 85 % of the positive Covid test subjects reported wearing a cloth face mask always or often for two weeks prior to testing positive .
The majority , 71 % of the test subjects reported always wearing a cloth face mask and 14 % reported often wearing a cloth face mask .
The only rational conclusion from this study is that cloth face masks offer little if any protection from Covid-19 infection .
[ According to top health experts , wearing a mask can cause serious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Are Inexpensive , Proven Therapies For Covid-19 Harvey Risch , MD , PhD heads the Yale University School of Epidemiology .
He authored “ The Key to Defeating Covid-19 Already Exists .
We Need to Start Using It ” which was published in Newsweek Magazine July 23rd , 2020 .
Dr. Risch documents the proven effectiveness of treating patients diagnosed with Covid-19 using a combination of Hydroxychloroquine , an antibiotic like azithromycin and the nutritional supplement zinc .
Medical Doctors across the globe have reported very positive results [ i.e .
100 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for early stage Covid patients .
7 ) The US Death Rate Is NOT Spiking If Covid-19 was the lethal killer it ’ s made out to be one would reasonably expect to see a significant spike in the number of deaths reported .
But that hasn ’ t happened .
According to the CDC as of early May 2020 the total number of deaths in the US was 944,251 from January 1 – April 30th .
This is actually slightly lower than the number of deaths during the same period in 2017 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ Actually , the same thing is happening in Europe as well .
Though the number of cases keeps rising due to an increase in testing , the mortality rate remained the same .
Even more proof that Covid-19 is not a real pandemic , but a lie propagated by unscientific testing and MSM scare tactics , according to data from the state authority of statistics in Sweden ( SCB ) , September 2020 was the least deadly month per capita ever recorded in Swedish history .
This is extremely important because Sweden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ draconian coronavirus lockdowns and never mandated the use of face masks .
As a matter of fact , life in Sweden continued pretty much unhindered , and now they have one of the lowest case fatality rates in Europe ] .
8 ) Most Covid-19 Deaths Occur At The End Of A Normal Lifespan According to the CDC as of 2017 US males can expect a normal lifespan of 76.1 years and females 81.1 years .
A little over 80 % of the suspected Covid-19 deaths have occurred in people over age 65 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ York Post article almost half of all Covid suspected deaths have occurred in Nursing Homes which predominately house people with preexisting health conditions and close to or past their normal life expectancy .
The CDC reported in their September 10th update that it ’ s estimated Infection Mortality Rate ( IFR ) for children age 0-19 was so low that 99.97 % of those infected with the virus survived .
For 20-49 year-olds the survival rate was almost as good at 99.98 % .
Even those 70 years-old and older had a survival @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this in perspective the CDC data suggest that a child or young adult up to age 19 has a greater chance of death from some type of accident than they do from Covid-19 .
Taken together it should be obvious that Covid-19 is pretty similar to typical flu viruses [ a fact that was accidentally confirmed by the WHO in a recent conference ] that sicken some people annually .
The vast majority are able to successfully fight off the virus with their body ’ s natural immune system .
Common sense precautions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over age 65 that suffer from preexisting medical conditions .
The gross over reaction by government leaders to this illness is causing much more distress , physical , emotional and financial , than the virus ever could on its own .
The bottom line is there is NO pandemic , just a typical flu season that has been wildly blown out of proportion by 24/7 media propaganda and enabled by the masses paralyzed by irrational fear .
State and local governments in particular have ignored the rights of the people and have instituted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was bought and paid for by the blood and sacrifice of our forefathers .
Slowly the people are recognizing the great fraud perpetrated on them by bureaucrats and elected officials who have sworn to uphold rights and freedoms as spelled out in the US Constitution .
The time has come to hold these criminals accountable by utilizing the legal system to bring them to justice .

stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-29--There’s a Reason Why Trump Keeps Telling Voters He’s Immune to COVID-19

( Michael G. Zey ) Early in the final debate , President Trump made a comment , almost an aside , about his personal battle with COVID-19 that the media have largely ignored but that could have considerable impact on the election results .
Related Individuals From Neither Party Were Tested for COVID At Cleveland Debate , “ There Was An Honor System ” , But Only Republicans Contracted COVID ?
“ I got better very fast , ” Trump said , “ and now they say I ’ m immune .
Whether it ’ s four months or a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say that , but I ’ m immune.
” The next night at a rally at The Villages , a Florida retirement community , Trump reiterated his claim that his medical team has declared him immune to COVID .
From that day on , Trump has repeated this message to rally audiences in North Carolina , Ohio , Wisconsin , and Nebraska and to the millions of voters watching the rallies nationally .
“ But the fact is , I had it .
It worked out well .
Now I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ohio audience .
At rally after rally , amid seemingly innocuous personal anecdotes about his recovery from the disease , Trump weaves an unspoken message that subtly undermines his opponent even without directly mentioning him : President Trump is immune to COVID-19 , and Joe Biden is not .
In the final days of the campaign , Trump is prodding voters to ask themselves a question : which candidate do you believe has the best chance of surviving COVID-19 should he contract this pernicious virus during his presidency ?
The answer can favor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ successfully treated for the disease at Walter Reed Hospital over a 72-hour period with innovative drugs and technologies .
Within a week , doctors detected in Trump ’ s body COVID-killing anti-bodies that epidemiologists link to future disease immunity .
In a New York Times article , epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch and immunologist Dr. Michael Mina , both of Harvard , emphatically stated that once a person has successfully fought the coronavirus , the acquired antibodies make him virtually immune to reinfection .
University of Arizona immunologist Deepta Bhattacharya ’ s just released study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to COVID-19 lasts for at least several months post-COVID-19 infection .
Co-researcher Michael D. Dake , M.D.
, stated that this research “ has armed us with the knowledge that lasting immunity is a reality.
” In contrast , Joe Biden is as susceptible to COVID-19 as anyone who has not already contracted the disease .
This vulnerability has led Biden and his campaign team to limit mass political rallies and interaction with constituents , politicians , and the media .
One reason the Commission on Presidential Debates canceled the second debate was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in person out of fear of contracting .
If elected president , will Biden ’ s fear of contracting the virus hamper his ability to meet with constituents and members of Congress or visit states after a hurricane or forest fire ?
Is Joe Biden going to shy away from meeting with world leaders while Chinese trade and political officials travel from country to country , continent to continent , establishing global trade networks and military alliances ?
Since some in the Biden camp believe that the White House itself is not a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and members of his Cabinet and staff would be paralyzed , trying to run the Executive Branch as Biden ran his campaign , via Zoom from a basement bunker .
If Americans elect Joe Biden president , they can look forward to checking their news feeds daily to see if Biden , plagued with a history of heart irregularities and brain aneurisms , has finally contracted the coronavirus .
Throughout Joe Biden ’ s presidency , other national concerns will take a back seat to the ongoing focus on his physical status .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
House speaker Nancy Pelosi last week called for the creation of an Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity empowered to set in motion the 25th Amendment process of removing from office a sitting president deemed unable to serve in office due to physical or mental disability .
Pelosi made clear that “ [ t ] his is not about President Trump.
” We must “ create a process for future presidents , ” Pelosi said , leading some in the media to wonder whether Biden is the “ future president ” she has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of catching the coronavirus is clearly a motivating factor in his stated intention , repeated during the recent debate , to shut down a large swath of the nation ’ s schools , businesses , sports arenas , restaurants , and theaters “ until we get the virus under control.
” In doing so , Biden will be flouting the recommendations laid out in the Great Barrington Declaration , authored by infectious disease experts from Harvard , Stanford , and Oxford and signed by 2,300 medical and health scientists and 2,500 practitioners and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite clear : because COVID-based lockdowns cause nations to suffer irreparable economic , mental , and physical harm , governments must permit citizens to live their lives normally while protecting the most vulnerable .
The World Health Organization now supports the declaration ’ s no-lockdown position .
And American voters by a ratio of 3 to 1 are adamantly against such lockdowns .
President Trump , fresh from his successful fight against COVID , presents a more optimistic and balanced pandemic strategy closely aligned with recommendations from the scientific community .
Trump wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and businesses while insulating the susceptible , deliver new COVID vaccines to all Americans in the next month or so , and make available to COVID patients the same drugs and therapies that facilitated Trump ’ s lightning-fast recovery .
The media ’ s 24/7 focus on COVID-19 will only further encourage American voters to more deeply scrutinize each candidate ’ s vulnerability to this disease .
As Election Day nears , expect President Trump to continue to press the idea that he has achieved immunity to COVID-19 , and that , by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden did not refute Trump ’ s claims of COVID immunity on the debate stage Thursday evening , nor has he done so since .
One would think the Biden team would be trying to counteract Trump ’ s messaging about immunity .
Instead , Biden ’ s decision to isolate himself from the press and public for much of the remainder of the campaign only reinforces the public ’ s anxiety about Biden ’ s susceptibility to the disease .
Since the Thursday presidential debate , Trump appears to be surging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Arizona , and other key battleground states .
If even a small proportion of undecided voters in these states choose Trump over Biden due to Trump ’ s perceived immunity to COVID-19 , Biden and his team will forever regret failing to address this critical issue .

“I got better very fast,” Trump said, “and now they say I’m immune. Whether it’s four months or a lifetime, nobody’s been able to say that, but I’m immune.”
The next night at a rally at The Villages, a Florida retirement community, Trump reiterated his claim that his medical team has declared him immune to COVID. From that day on, Trump has repeated this message to rally audiences in North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Nebraska and to the millions of voters watching the rallies nationally.
“But the fact is, I had it. It worked out well. Now I’m immune,” Trump declared to an Ohio audience.

In the final days of the campaign, Trump is prodding voters to ask themselves a question: which candidate do you believe has the best chance of surviving COVID-19 should he contract this pernicious virus during his presidency?
The answer can favor only Trump. Recently, Trump was successfully treated for the disease at Walter Reed Hospital over a 72-hour period with innovative drugs and technologies. Within a week, doctors detected in Trump’s body COVID-killing anti-bodies that epidemiologists link to future disease immunity.
In a New York Times article, epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch and immunologist Dr. Michael Mina, both of Harvard, emphatically stated that once a person has successfully fought the coronavirus, the acquired antibodies make him virtually immune to reinfection.
University of Arizona immunologist Deepta Bhattacharya’s just released study of 6,000 COVID cases revealed that immunity to COVID-19 lasts for at least several months post-COVID-19 infection. Co-researcher Michael D. Dake, M.D., stated that this research “has armed us with the knowledge that lasting immunity is a reality.”
In contrast, Joe Biden is as susceptible to COVID-19 as anyone who has not already contracted the disease. This vulnerability has led Biden and his campaign team to limit mass political rallies and interaction with constituents, politicians, and the media. One reason the Commission on Presidential Debates canceled the second debate was Biden’s expressed anxiety about appearing in person out of fear of contracting the disease .
If elected president, will Biden’s fear of contracting the virus hamper his ability to meet with constituents and members of Congress or visit states after a hurricane or forest fire? Is Joe Biden going to shy away from meeting with world leaders while Chinese trade and political officials travel from country to country, continent to continent, establishing global trade networks and military alliances?
Since some in the Biden camp believe that the White House itself is not a safe haven from COVID-19, Joe Biden and members of his Cabinet and staff would be paralyzed, trying to run the Executive Branch as Biden ran his campaign, via Zoom from a basement bunker.
If Americans elect Joe Biden president, they can look forward to checking their news feeds daily to see if Biden, plagued with a history of heart irregularities and brain aneurisms, has finally contracted the coronavirus. Throughout Joe Biden’s presidency, other national concerns will take a back seat to the ongoing focus on his physical status.
Democrats certainly seem to share these concerns. House speaker Nancy Pelosi last week called for the creation of an Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity empowered to set in motion the 25th Amendment process of removing from office a sitting president deemed unable to serve in office due to physical or mental disability. Pelosi made clear that “[t]his is not about President Trump.” We must “create a process for future presidents,” Pelosi said, leading some in the media to wonder whether Biden is the “future president” she has in mind.
Biden’s fear of catching the coronavirus is clearly a motivating factor in his stated intention, repeated during the recent debate, to shut down a large swath of the nation’s schools, businesses, sports arenas, restaurants, and theaters “until we get the virus under control.” In doing so, Biden will be flouting the recommendations laid out in the Great Barrington Declaration, authored by infectious disease experts from Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford and signed by 2,300 medical and health scientists and 2,500 practitioners and other top epidemiologists.
The Declaration is quite clear: because COVID-based lockdowns cause nations to suffer irreparable economic, mental, and physical harm, governments must permit citizens to live their lives normally while protecting the most vulnerable. The World Health Organization now supports the declaration’s no-lockdown position. And American voters by a ratio of 3 to 1 are adamantly against such lockdowns.
President Trump, fresh from his successful fight against COVID, presents a more optimistic and balanced pandemic strategy closely aligned with recommendations from the scientific community. Trump wants to open up America’s schools and businesses while insulating the susceptible, deliver new COVID vaccines to all Americans in the next month or so, and make available to COVID patients the same drugs and therapies that facilitated Trump’s lightning-fast recovery.
The media’s 24/7 focus on COVID-19 will only further encourage American voters to more deeply scrutinize each candidate’s vulnerability to this disease.
As Election Day nears, expect President Trump to continue to press the idea that he has achieved immunity to COVID-19, and that, by inference, Biden hasn’t.
Joe Biden did not refute Trump’s claims of COVID immunity on the debate stage Thursday evening, nor has he done so since. One would think the Biden team would be trying to counteract Trump’s messaging about immunity. Instead, Biden’s decision to isolate himself from the press and public for much of the remainder of the campaign only reinforces the public’s anxiety about Biden’s susceptibility to the disease.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?
Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at feedback@stillnessinthestorm.com.

The promo once again underscores how Black Lives Matter – which according to its founders is a neo-Marxist movement eventually intended to dismantle capitalism, is supported by some of the biggest purveyors of monopoly capitalism on the planet.

DC Bill B23-0171 Allowing Children 11 Years and Older to Be Vaccinated Without Parental Knowledge or Consent Advances – The Vaccine Reaction

( Dawn Richardson ) On Oct. 7 , 2020 , during a hastily scheduled virtual meeting , four District of Columbia Council members making up the Health Committee , amended and unanimously passed a minor consent bill , B23-0171 .
The bill would not only permit children aged 11 years and older to give consent for doctors and other vaccine administrators to give them vaccines without their parents ’ knowledge or consent , but would also require insurance companies , vaccine administrators and schools to conceal from parents that the child has been vaccinated .
Related Airports Begin Testing ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Someone Has Been Vaccinated Before Travel On Oct. 20 , 2020 , the entire DC Council voted in favor of the bill 12:1 on the first reading in yet another virtual online meeting with no public testimony .
It was announced that the second reading , which will be the final vote , will take place on Nov. 10 , 2020 .
Committee Chair and Bill Sponsor Admit “ Imminent ” COVID-19 Vaccine is Reason for Sudden Push to Eliminate Parental Rights NVIC issued an alert through the online NVIC Advocacy Portal when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public hearing in June of 2019 advising opposition to the bill , which violated parental medical informed consent rights .
Testimony was taken , and NVIC submitted testimony against the bill .
B23-0171 then sat for over a year untouched and unmoved .
In a revealing statement Vincent C. Gray ( D-Ward 7 ) , the chair of the DC Health Committee which passed the bill , explained why the bill was all suddenly being revived and pushed through so quickly .
Gray was quoted in The Washington Post as saying , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gave the bill new urgency.
” Primary sponsor of this bill , DC Council Member Mary Cheh ( D-Ward 3 ) , emphasized that coronavirus vaccines were her the main reason why she wants to remove parents from the process of vaccinating children .
Advocating for passage of her bill , she stated : If this bill passes , it is clear that minor children will be at risk of being pressured and coerced into getting a COVID-19 vaccine behind their parents ’ back once it is available and added by the Advisory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the childhood vaccine schedule recommended by the U , S .
Centers for Disease Control ( CDC ) .
Violation of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and Parental Rights B23-0171 permits minor children 11 years and older to consent to any vaccine recommended by ACIP without a parent ’ s knowledge or consent ( bill lines 27-30 ) .
Federal legislative history provides evidence that Congress never intended for a minor child to make decisions to get a vaccine without parents ’ knowledge or consent .
When the National Childhood Vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Act clearly stated that before the administration of vaccines to a child , a health care provider shall give a copy of the CDC ’ s vaccine information materials to the , “ parent or legal representative of any child to whom the provider intends to administer such vaccine… ” The CDC confirms that there is a requirement that their Vaccine Information Statement ( VIS ) is provided to the parent/legal guardian prior to vaccination of a minor child on their VIS Q & A page .
Under the question , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parents/legal representatives have actually received and reviewed the VIS , ” the answer is a clear “ YES ” .
These requirements under federal law for a parent to be educated with CDC materials prior to their minor child being vaccinated will not be met if a child is allowed to make these decisions on their own .
The United States Supreme Court has recognized the right of parents to be an active and integral part of their children ’ s lives as “ perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Troxel v. Granville , 530 U.S. 57 ( U.S. 2000 ) B23-0171 Endangers the Health and Well Being of Children A minor child is far less likely than an adult parent to understand personal and family medical history , including vaccine reactions , allergies , and autoimmune or neurological disorders .
Children do not have the same kind of critical thinking skills or emotional maturity required to make a well-informed vaccine benefit-risk decision compared to an adult .
Vaccines can cause injury and death as evidenced by the creation of a federally operated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which has paid out over $ 4.4 billion dollars to vaccine victims .
If a child consents to vaccination without their parent knowledge and has a reaction , the parent may not recognize vaccine reaction symptoms and the reason for their child ’ s sudden personality change and decline in physical , mental or emotional health , and this lack of knowledge could be life threatening for the child .
The parent ’ s lack of knowledge about the fact that their child was given vaccines that carry a risk of injury @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from seeking immediate medical care .
Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act Congress gave partial liability protection to vaccine manufacturers in 1986 and then added an amendment giving vaccine administrators liability protection from vaccine injury lawsuits in 1987 .
In 2011 , the U.S. Supreme Court judges in Bruesewitz et al v. Wyeth et al affirmed that government licensed and recommended childhood vaccines were “ unavoidably unsafe ” and effectively removed all remaining liability from vaccine manufacturers .
Today , pharmaceutical companies making and selling vaccines and doctors and other vaccine administrators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in civil court when a mandated vaccine causes permanent injury or death .
There is no justification for the state to eliminate a parent ’ s legal and moral right to make an informed benefit and risk decision about vaccination on behalf of a minor child , especially when doctors and other vaccine providers have no liability or accountability for what happens to the child after vaccination .
B23-0171 compels schools ( bill lines 52-54 ) to conceal vaccine administration from parents , whose children give consent to receive vaccinations on their own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declined one or more vaccines for health risk reasons or have filed a religious vaccine exemption .
FERPA , 34 CFR § 99.10 , guarantees parents the right to have access to their children ’ s education records .
The definition of “ education records ” include health and vaccine records at the K-12 level .
While B23-0171 blocks parents from getting access to their child ’ s vaccination status , the bill does permit schools to share the child ’ s vaccination record with the DC Department of Health or the school-based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This is also in conflict with FERPA because 34 CFR §99.30 requires prior written parental consent before personally identifiable information ( PII ) is disclosed to others and requires schools to provide copies of those records disclosed .
While FERPA does allow for release of PII under the health and safety emergency exception , the release of information that personally identifies the student is extremely limited .
Section 5300.11 of the DC Municipal Regulations states , “ The immunization requirements subject to this Chapter , shall not apply to any student whose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the immunization on grounds that the medical treatment or medical test is forbidden by their religion or religious beliefs and practices.
” Granting vaccine providers the ability to vaccinate children in the absence of parental consent conflicts with the already codified religious exemption rights of parents .
There are other serious legal issues creating the potential for criminal violations and civil liability lawsuits : the bill requires vaccine providers and insurers to conceal the fact that the child was vaccinated and it requires the falsification of official medical records by vaccine administrators .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ providers to seek reimbursement from the parent ’ s insurance company but prohibits insurers from sending an Explanation of Benefits .
Lines 48-52 requires a health care provider to leave part of the immunization record blank concealing from the parent the fact that their own child was given vaccines .
DC Vaccine Bill Part of the Dangerous Agenda To Remove Parents From Vaccination Decisions for Minor Children Congress held two vaccine hearings on Feb. 27 and Mar .
5 , 2019 .
The hearings , which focused on vaccine hesitancy , pitted children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and informed consent advocates with decades of experience , including time spent serving as consumer representatives on federal advisory committees , were denied the ability to testify .
However , a teenager , who had no expertise in the area of vaccine safety and law and whose only experience related to the subject being discussed was recently criticizing his mother on social media for not vaccinating him , was invited to testify .
After the hearing , the mainstream media published multiple similar articles promoting the ill-conceived concept of doctors being given the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccines without their parents ’ consent , often quoting the teen ’ s testimony as justification for why parents should be cut out of the vaccination process for their minor children .
Medical trade groups representing liability-free vaccine administrators also endorsed the concept of giving children liability free vaccines without parental consent .
Doctors , who are frustrated with having to spend time talking with educated parents about vaccines , have identified minor consent as a way to coerce children into consenting to vaccines on their own .
Pre-adolescents and teenagers are vulnerable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opinion piece expressing support for removing parental informed consent rights was published in the New England Journal of Medicine , and the American Medical Association passed a resolution supporting state laws to allow minors to consent to vaccination .
This coordinated effort resulted in 13 minor consent bills being introduced in state legislatures in 2019 , and there was a big jump to 21 similar bills being introduced in 2020 .
Legislators listened to parents and rejected a total of 33 minor consent bills filed in 2019 and 2020 .
The DC minor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moving .
What Happens if the Bill Passes on November 10th ?
If the bill passes a second reading in the City Council , it goes to the DC Mayor Muriel Bowser , who has up to 10 days to sign the bill , let it go into effect without her signature , or veto it .
If Mayor Bowser vetoes the bill , the City Council can override the veto by a two-thirds vote .
The final step before becoming law is the bill must be sent to the United States House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a period of 30 days before becoming effective as law .
During this period of review , the U.S. Congress may enact into law a joint resolution disapproving and negating the legislation .
If , during the review period , the President of the United States approves a joint resolution by Congress disapproving the DC legislation , it will be prevented from becoming law .
If , however , upon the expiration of the congressional review period , no joint resolution disapproving the Council ’ s Act has been approved by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law and is assigned a law number .
Litigation is also likely if the DC Council passes B23-0171 .
In an Oct. 21 , 2020 update by ParentalRights.org , “ DC Council Would Discard Constitution , End Parents ’ Rights , ” Executive Director Michael Ramey asserts this bill is contrary to the U.S. Constitution and lays out existing U.S. Supreme Court precedent to back this up .
He says , “ For nearly 100 years , consistent Supreme Court precedent has held that parents have both the duty and the right to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ control of their minor children.
” What Can People Do To Help Defeat This Legislation ?
Families living or sending their children to school in the District of Columbia should contact all thirteen members of the DC Council and tell them to Vote NO on B23-0171 in the second and final reading .

On Oct. 20, 2020, the entire DC Council voted in favor of the bill 12:1 on the first reading in yet another virtual online meeting with no public testimony. It was announced that the second reading, which will be the final vote, will take place on Nov. 10, 2020.
Committee Chair and Bill Sponsor Admit “Imminent” COVID-19 Vaccine is Reason for Sudden Push to Eliminate Parental Rights
NVIC issued an alert through the online NVIC Advocacy Portal when the bill had it’s first public hearing in June of 2019 advising opposition to the bill, which violated parental medical informed consent rights. Testimony was taken, and NVIC submitted testimony against the bill. B23-0171 then sat for over a year untouched and unmoved.
In a revealing statement Vincent C. Gray (D-Ward 7), the chair of the DC Health Committee which passed the bill, explained why the bill was all suddenly being revived and pushed through so quickly. Gray was quoted in The Washington Post as saying, “the hope of an imminent coronavirus vaccine gave the bill new urgency.”
Primary sponsor of this bill, DC Council Member Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3), emphasized that coronavirus vaccines were her the main reason why she wants to remove parents from the process of vaccinating children. Advocating for passage of her bill, she stated:
And given our ongoing pandemic and the incredible work being done to develop a COVID-19 vaccine, it’s more important than ever I think that we reduce any and all barriers to these treatments and this legislation aims to do just that by increasing access to vaccines for minors who choose to get vaccinated but have not been able to do so.
If this bill passes, it is clear that minor children will be at risk of being pressured and coerced into getting a COVID-19 vaccine behind their parents’ back once it is available and added by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to the childhood vaccine schedule recommended by the U,S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) .
Violation of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and Parental Rights
B23-0171 permits minor children 11 years and older to consent to any vaccine recommended by ACIP without a parent’s knowledge or consent (bill lines 27-30).

The United States Supreme Court has recognized the right of parents to be an active and integral part of their children’s lives as “perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by [the Supreme] Court.” Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (U.S. 2000)
B23-0171 Endangers the Health and Well Being of Children
A minor child is far less likely than an adult parent to understand personal and family medical history, including vaccine reactions, allergies, and autoimmune or neurological disorders.
Children do not have the same kind of critical thinking skills or emotional maturity required to make a well-informed vaccine benefit-risk decision compared to an adult. Vaccines can cause injury and death as evidenced by the creation of a federally operated Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), which has paid out over $4.4 billion dollars to vaccine victims.
If a child consents to vaccination without their parent knowledge and has a reaction, the parent may not recognize vaccine reaction symptoms and the reason for their child’s sudden personality change and decline in physical, mental or emotional health, and this lack of knowledge could be life threatening for the child. The parent’s lack of knowledge about the fact that their child was given vaccines that carry a risk of injury or death may well prevent the parent from seeking immediate medical care.
Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act Congress gave partial liability protection to vaccine manufacturers in 1986 and then added an amendment giving vaccine administrators liability protection from vaccine injury lawsuits in 1987. In 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court judges in Bruesewitz et al v. Wyeth et al affirmed that government licensed and recommended childhood vaccines were “unavoidably unsafe” and effectively removed all remaining liability from vaccine manufacturers. Today, pharmaceutical companies making and selling vaccines and doctors and other vaccine administrators have no legal accountability or financial liability in civil court when a mandated vaccine causes permanent injury or death.
There is no justification for the state to eliminate a parent’s legal and moral right to make an informed benefit and risk decision about vaccination on behalf of a minor child, especially when doctors and other vaccine providers have no liability or accountability for what happens to the child after vaccination.
Violates Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
B23-0171 compels schools (bill lines 52-54) to conceal vaccine administration from parents, whose children give consent to receive vaccinations on their own, even when their parents have already declined one or more vaccines for health risk reasons or have filed a religious vaccine exemption.
FERPA, 34 CFR § 99.10, guarantees parents the right to have access to their children’s education records. The definition of “education records” include health and vaccine records at the K-12 level.
While B23-0171 blocks parents from getting access to their child’s vaccination status, the bill does permit schools to share the child’s vaccination record with the DC Department of Health or the school-based health center (bill lines 53-54).
This is also in conflict with FERPA because 34 CFR §99.30 requires prior written parental consent before personally identifiable information (PII) is disclosed to others and requires schools to provide copies of those records disclosed. While FERPA does allow for release of PII under the health and safety emergency exception, the release of information that personally identifies the student is extremely limited.
Bill Conflicts With Religious Exemption, Requires Falsification of Records
Section 5300.11 of the DC Municipal Regulations states, “The immunization requirements subject to this Chapter, shall not apply to any student whose parent or guardian objects in writing to the immunization on grounds that the medical treatment or medical test is forbidden by their religion or religious beliefs and practices.”
Granting vaccine providers the ability to vaccinate children in the absence of parental consent conflicts with the already codified religious exemption rights of parents.
There are other serious legal issues creating the potential for criminal violations and civil liability lawsuits: the bill requires vaccine providers and insurers to conceal the fact that the child was vaccinated and it requires the falsification of official medical records by vaccine administrators.
The bill (lines 37-41) requires providers to seek reimbursement from the parent’s insurance company but prohibits insurers from sending an Explanation of Benefits. Lines 48-52 requires a health care provider to leave part of the immunization record blank concealing from the parent the fact that their own child was given vaccines.
DC Vaccine Bill Part of the Dangerous Agenda To Remove Parents From Vaccination Decisions for Minor Children
Congress held two vaccine hearings on Feb. 27 and Mar. 5, 2019. The hearings, which focused on vaccine hesitancy, pitted children against their parents.
Veteran vaccine safety and informed consent advocates with decades of experience, including time spent serving as consumer representatives on federal advisory committees, were denied the ability to testify. However, a teenager, who had no expertise in the area of vaccine safety and law and whose only experience related to the subject being discussed was recently criticizing his mother on social media for not vaccinating him, was invited to testify.
After the hearing, the mainstream media published multiple similar articles promoting the ill-conceived concept of doctors being given the power to convince minor children to receive vaccines without their parents’ consent, often quoting the teen’s testimony as justification for why parents should be cut out of the vaccination process for their minor children. Medical trade groups representing liability-free vaccine administrators also endorsed the concept of giving children liability free vaccines without parental consent.
Doctors, who are frustrated with having to spend time talking with educated parents about vaccines, have identified minor consent as a way to coerce children into consenting to vaccines on their own. Pre-adolescents and teenagers are vulnerable to peer and authority-figure persuasion. An opinion piece expressing support for removing parental informed consent rights was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and the American Medical Association passed a resolution supporting state laws to allow minors to consent to vaccination.
This coordinated effort resulted in 13 minor consent bills being introduced in state legislatures in 2019, and there was a big jump to 21 similar bills being introduced in 2020.
Legislators listened to parents and rejected a total of 33 minor consent bills filed in 2019 and 2020. The DC minor consent bill in is the only one moving.
What Happens if the Bill Passes on November 10th?
If the bill passes a second reading in the City Council, it goes to the DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has up to 10 days to sign the bill, let it go into effect without her signature, or veto it. If Mayor Bowser vetoes the bill, the City Council can override the veto by a two-thirds vote.

He says, “For nearly 100 years, consistent Supreme Court precedent has held that parents have both the duty and the right to direct the care, custody, and control of their minor children.”
What Can People Do To Help Defeat This Legislation?
Families living or sending their children to school in the District of Columbia should contact all thirteen members of the DC Council and tell them to Vote NO on B23-0171 in the second and final reading. Specific directions, talking points, and contact information is published in the alert on the NVIC Advocacy Portal.
Everyone else can help get this information to people they know in DC. NVIC anticipates that there will be similar minor consent bills filed in other states in 2021. Registered users of the free online NVIC Advocacy Portal will receive action alerts with talking points when vaccine related bills like this one are introduced in 2021 so they can take action in their own states to protect their informed consent rights.

A few weeks later , FBI agents in Delaware seized the original laptop from Mac Isaac .
• @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hunter Biden ’ s attorney contacted Mac Isaac to discuss the hard drive and followed up with an email but no further action .

The probe got new evidence in recent days when Hunter Biden ’ s former business partner Tony Bobulinski turned over documents and other materials during an FBI interview , one person with knowledge of the case said .

That laptop remained in the shop with John Paul .
Hunter Biden returned two days later with an external hard drive to which John Paul would transfer the information .
According to John Paul , recovering the data was difficult because of the significant liquid damage to the drive .

The FBI turned John Paul ’ s father away.
” “ In mid-October of 2019 , an FBI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and wanted to discuss the Mac and drive .

In a lengthy statement to Just the News, attorney Brian Della Rocca provided a detailed timeline of the actions his client, John Paul Mac Isaac, says he took in trying to get authorities to investigate the laptop.
The lawyer also decried public figures on both sides of the aisle for politicizing the episode and for attacking the Delaware computer repairman without having the facts.
Mac Isaac “unwittingly became the target of a smear campaign by doing what he thought was right,” Della Rocca said. “John Paul is not a right-wing fanatic, nor is he a Russian hacker.”
In the statement that was originally drafted to be an op-ed, Della Rocca made several new revelations about the laptop that has stirred worldwide political intrigue on the eve of the American presidential election, an FBI investigation, and a news media and social media censorship campaign. Among the revelations:
A man claiming to be Hunter Biden dropped off three laptops on April 12, 2019 to Mac Isaac’s shop to be repaired, and returned two days later with an external hard drive. The man believed to be Hunter Biden eventually abandoned one of the laptops and the external hard drive without paying for them.
Mac Isaac’s father, a retired Air Force colonel, first tried to provide a copy of the laptop to an FBI office in Albuquerque, N.M., in summer 2019, but the bureau turned him away.
FBI agents from Albuquerque, N.M., contacted the father in October 2019, as impeachment proceedings were ongoing in Washington, to discuss the laptop and then to interview the younger Mac Isaac in Delaware. A few weeks later, FBI agents in Delaware seized the original laptop from Mac Isaac.
On Oct. 13 of this year, Hunter Biden’s attorney contacted Mac Isaac to discuss the hard drive and followed up with an email but no further action.
You can read the lawyer’s full statement here:
Three people familiar with the matter told Just the News on Thursday that the FBI has an ongoing investigation into business transactions involving firms associated with Hunter Biden and other business associates.
The investigation began in 2019 around the time the FBI followed up on Mac Isaac’s concerns and has since expanded to issues raised by an IRS whistleblower complaint filed a year ago. The probe got new evidence in recent days when Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski turned over documents and other materials during an FBI interview, one person with knowledge of the case said.
The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly, said no decisions have been made about whether wrongdoing occurred or whether charges are warranted against any person or institution.
Here are key excerpts from Della Rocca’s statement:
Who is John Paul Mac Isaac?
“By way of background, John Paul has owned his shop for over ten years now. Prior to that, John Paul was the ‘Lead Genius’ at the Apple Store in Littleton, Colo., and New Castle, Del. Once, while employed by Apple, he found himself in a situation where, while fixing a customer’s iMac, he came across seemingly illegal material. He followed protocol and contacted the authorities. No one questioned John Paul’s ethics then.”
How did the alleged Hunter Biden laptop come into Mac Isaac’s possession?
“Fast-forward to April 12, 2019 when a man claiming to be Hunter Biden walked into his shop. While John Paul was pleased that someone of Hunter Biden’s notoriety was in his shop, he did not question why Hunter Biden was there. In fact, Hunter Biden had been referred to John Paul’s shop. John Paul is well respected in the community and it would not have been uncommon for his patrons to refer others to his shop. John Paul provided a solution for one of Hunter Biden’s three laptops on the spot. Another laptop was a complete write-off but the third laptop required more significant intervention. That laptop remained in the shop with John Paul. Hunter Biden returned two days later with an external hard drive to which John Paul would transfer the information.
According to John Paul, recovering the data was difficult because of the significant liquid damage to the drive. He would boot the computer and transfer as much as he could before the computer shut down. Then, he would boot up the computer again, verify what was copied, and then transfer more data until the computer shut down again. This process repeated several times. During this process, John Paul saw certain pieces of information but, at the time, he did not think anything of it. Instead, John Paul completed the work and contacted Hunter Biden to let him know. Hunter Biden never responded. As requested by Hunter Biden, a secure payment request was sent in an email but was never paid. John Paul contacted him at least one more time but Hunter Biden never responded. The policy of the shop is that items not picked up within 90 days of the completion of the services will be treated as abandoned property.”
A first effort to turn over the computer contents to the FBI is turned away
“Around mid-July of 2019, news of Hunter Biden’s business dealings with the Ukraine were coming more into focus and John Paul started to get uncomfortable with the information he had seen. He was unsure if the hard drive contained information pertinent to the legal investigation.
At that point, he reached out to his father, a retired Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, for advice about what he should do. They both decided that going to the FBI and handing over the Mac and the drive was their best course of action. Soon thereafter, John Paul’s father took a copy of the hard drive to an FBI field office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The FBI turned John Paul’s father away.”
A return visit from the FBI
“In mid-October of 2019, an FBI Agent reached out to Colonel Mac Isaac and wanted to discuss the Mac and drive. At that point, Colonel Mac Isaac passed along John Paul’s contact information. The FBI then reached out to John Paul and met him at his house to discuss John Paul’s concerns. On December 9, 2019, the FBI served a Subpoena on John Paul for the computer, the hard drive, and all related paperwork. He willingly gave it to the FBI and was happy to see it go.”
How the laptop’s existence became public?
“Out of an abundance of caution, John Paul made a copy of the drive in case he was ever thrown under the bus as a result of what he knew. As John Paul watched the impeachment trial, he wondered why there was no reference to the information he had provided to the FBI. As a result, starting in February of 2020 and until July of 2020, John Paul reached out to several members of Congress to notify them of what he had in his possession. His requests fell on deaf ears.
Out of frustration, in the beginning of September, John Paul reached out to someone he thought would be able to provide the information directly to the President. That person was Rudy Giuliani. A day after John Paul reached out to Giuliani’s office, Robert Costello, Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, contacted John Paul to discuss the information and John Paul’s concerns.
On September 24, 2020, John Paul then submitted information about the drive to Senator Ron Johnson through the whistleblower link on Senator Johnson’s website. After that submission and while Giuliani’s office was still trying to verify the information, Senator Johnson released the Senate report on the Biden business dealings.”
What Mac Isaac claims to know for certain:
1. “We know it is Hunter Biden’s laptop because we have his signature on the Repair Authorization and Hunter Biden’s attorney has reached out to John Paul about the computer.”
2. “Hunter Biden never returned to retrieve the information rendering it abandoned property or, in other words, junk. We know that once you throw something into the trash, you relinquish your privacy rights to it, which is why so many investigations include a search of a person’s trash.”
3. “The FBI confiscated the computer and the external hard drive and left John Paul with a receipt.”
4. “The information on the drive was leaked by someone prior to the New York Post exposé. John Paul has not released any information as he is cooperating with law enforcement and to do so could hurt the investigation.”
Unanswered questions
“We do not know if all emails released by the New York Post were actually on the hard drive. We do not know if the initial leak was from Senator Johnson’s office, from Rudy Giuliani himself, or from somewhere else.”
The fallout from Mac Isaac’s actions
“He was trying to get the information to law enforcement and, in doing so, became a victim of politics. Although he is receiving support from many Americans, he is also the subject of death threats and will likely be out of business as a result of this whole affair. This take no prisoners approach to politics is where the problem lies — on both sides of the political aisle. The rest of us can easily get caught up in the information being presented as if it is fact when, in reality, much of what we hear or read is not.”
“… The problem is not that John Paul turned over the information to those he believed he could trust, it is that politics today seems to revel in sensation and ignores the collateral damage left in its wake. Not only are our elected officials seemingly happy to obfuscate the facts in order to attack their opponents, they are also perfectly willing to throw everyday Americans under the bus for their own political gain.”
Frustration with the media, social media
“Instead of reporting on the matter, news outlets are making the decision themselves as to the veracity of the claims about Hunter Biden’s laptop. If you are an avid follower of CNN or Politico, you have already been led to believe that John Paul is a part of an overall Russian disinformation campaign.
“Twitter and Facebook have taken it upon themselves to relegate this story to a level equal to that of conspiracy theories. The actions by these social media platforms further hurt John Paul’s reputation by advancing the notion that he is a part of a Russian disinformation campaign.”
