Masks purposely being forced on children to dumb them down by depriving their brains of oxygen Thursday, December 30, 2021, by: Ethan Huff (Natural News) New research out of Brown University has found that children who are forced to distance themselves from others and wear a mask all day long at school suffer brain damage and drastic declines in IQ.
Dr. Mark McDonald, a clinical psychiatrist for children and adolescents, cited the Brown study in a recent interview with Cindy Drukier of “The Nation Speaks.” The study found that “children born during the pandemic have significantly reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance compared to children born pre-pandemic.”
Going to “Zoom” school, having to wear a mask, and being forced into isolation has led to “deprivation overall, of social contact, [of] not being able to see faces, being stuck at home all day long, [and this] has actually caused brain damage to the youngsters,” McDonald further explain during the NTD program (NTD is a sister media outlet of The Epoch Times).
Concerning the masks specifically, we already know that they inhibit oxygen uptake, which is needed for healthy brain activity. Those who wear them end up breathing in recycled carbon dioxide (CO2) and other waste, which damages brain tissue.
Masks and lockdowns are killing our children In another episode of the interview, Prof. Carl Heneghan, director of the University of Oxford‘s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, explained that children are also being damaged by the constant diet of fear that is being pumped into them by governments and media outlets.
This “fear we instill into children,” Heneghan explained, has caused disastrous psychological problems in many young ones that they will likely have to carry for the rest of their lives.

Heneghan cited his own study on the matter, which found that “eight out of 10 children and adolescents report worsening of behaviour or any psychological symptoms or an increase in negative feelings due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“School closures contributed to increased anxiety, loneliness and stress; negative feelings due to COVID-19 increased with the duration of school closures,” the study further found. “Deteriorating mental health was found to be worse in females and older adolescents.”
By older adolescents, Heneghan refers to children 12 years of age and older who face increasing peer pressure, social pressure and are much more aware of what is going on than smaller children who might still be innocently following along with the narrative.
“The first thing is to deescalate any fear and anxiety around covid for children,” Heneghan says. “For children, [covid] is actually a very safe disease.”
“We should really prioritize education and those interventions that are in children’s best interest,” he added.
A December 20 study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that mental health visits skyrocketed by 24 percent among 5- to 11-year-olds, and by 31 percent in 12- to 17-year-olds, once the plandemic was officially launched in early 2020.
Many of these children started wetting their beds or their pants, or refusing to make eye contact. Some of them were no longer comfortable attending sleepovers with their friends or being away from their mothers for extended periods of time.
Tony Fauci is largely to blame for all of this hysteria, but so are many other deep state figureheads and politicians. Anyone who pushed any kind of fear throughout this saga – Donald Trump included, seeing as how he rolled out Operation Warp Speed and still takes credit for it – is directly to blame for all this damage to children.
Teenagers, comparatively, have come out of this whole thing even more “wrapped up in social media and phones and Zoom school because they’ve been trained for the last year and a half that they do not even want to go out anymore,” Heneghan says.

Today it did. Over a half million followers gone in a blink of an eye. That means I must have been on the mark, so to speak. Over the target. It also means we lost a critical component in our fight to stop these vaccines being mandated for children and to stop the corruption in our governments, as well as the medical-industrial complex and pharmaceutical industries.

Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D. and Ali Shultz, J.D. have just written a report documenting how much hospitals make when a patient is tested positive for COVID-19.
It is published on the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) website.
While the authors correctly report that most of this funding comes from The CARES Act, which was passed in early 2020 during the Trump administration, and which was also used to fund Operation Warp Speed, for some reason they chose to blame Biden for this in their headline.
For sure Biden has continued the policies and even made things worse by mandating the deadly COVID-19 shots, but I think it is counter-productive to make this a partisan issue.
These politicians are just puppets for the Corporate Globalists who are clearly making public policy now and calling the shots via these puppet politicians.
Real change will not happen in the U.S. simply by voting for someone different for public office and changing political parties.
Real change will only come when the criminals, such as anyone who is invested in Pfizer and owns stock in that company, is arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity, and if convicted by a jury of their peers, executed publicly.
The politicians are most certainly complicit and should be tried, convicted, and executed also, but they are not the ones calling the shots.
Biden’s Bounty on Your Life: Hospitals’ Incentive Payments for COVID-19
Upon admission to a once-trusted hospital, American patients with COVID-19 become virtual prisoners, subjected to a rigid treatment protocol with roots in Ezekiel Emanuel’s “Complete Lives System” for rationing medical care in those over age 50. They have a shockingly high mortality rate. How and why is this happening, and what can be done about it?
As exposed in audio recordings, hospital executives in Arizona admitted meeting several times a week to lower standards of care, with coordinated restrictions on visitation rights. Most COVID-19 patients’ families are deliberately kept in the dark about what is really being done to their loved ones.
The combination that enables this tragic and avoidable loss of hundreds of thousands of lives includes (1) The CARES Act, which provides hospitals with bonus incentive payments for all things related to COVID-19 (testing, diagnosing, admitting to hospital, use of remdesivir and ventilators, reporting COVID-19 deaths, and vaccinations) and (2) waivers of customary and long-standing patient rights by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
In 2020, the Texas Hospital Association submitted requests for waivers to CMS. According to Texas attorney Jerri Ward,
“CMS has granted ‘waivers’ of federal law regarding patient rights. Specifically, CMS purports to allow hospitals to violate the rights of patients or their surrogates with regard to medical record access, to have patient visitation, and to be free from seclusion.”
She notes that “rights do not come from the hospital or CMS and cannot be waived, as that is the antithesis of a ‘right.’ The purported waivers are meant to isolate and gain total control over the patient and to deny patient and patient’s decision-maker the ability to exercise informed consent.”
Creating a “National Pandemic Emergency” provided justification for such sweeping actions that override individual physician medical decision-making and patients’ rights.
The CARES Act provides incentives for hospitals to use treatments dictated solely by the federal government under the auspices of the NIH. These “bounties” must paid back if not “earned” by making the COVID-19 diagnosis and following the COVID-19 protocol.
The hospital payments include:
A “free” required PCR test in the Emergency Room or upon admission for every patient, with government-paid fee to hospital.
Added bonus payment for each positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
Another bonus for a COVID-19 admission to the hospital.
A 20 percent “boost” bonus payment from Medicare on the entire hospital bill for use of remdesivir instead of medicines such as Ivermectin.
Another and larger bonus payment to the hospital if a COVID-19 patient is mechanically ventilated.
More money to the hospital if cause of death is listed as COVID-19, even if patient did not die directly of COVID-19.
A COVID-19 diagnosis also provides extra payments to coroners.
CMS implemented “value-based” payment programs that track data such as how many workers at a healthcare facility receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Now we see why many hospitals implemented COVID-19 vaccine mandates. They are paid more.
Outside hospitals, physician MIPS quality metrics link doctors’ income to performance-based pay for treating patients with COVID-19 EUA drugs. Failure to report information to CMS can cost the physician 4% of reimbursement.
Because of obfuscation with medical coding and legal jargon, we cannot be certain of the actual amount each hospital receives per COVID-19 patient. But Attorney Thomas Renz and CMS whistleblowers have calculated a total payment of at least $100,000 per patient.
What does this mean for your health and safety as a patient in the hospital?
There are deaths from the government-directed COVID treatments. For remdesivir, studies show that 71–75 percent of patients suffer an adverse effect, and the drug often had to be stopped after five to ten days because of these effects, such as kidney and liver damage, and death.
Remdesivir trials during the 2018 West African Ebola outbreak had to be discontinued because death rate exceeded 50%. Yet, in 2020, Anthony Fauci directed that remdesivir was to be the drug hospitals use to treat COVID-19, even when the COVID clinical trials of remdesivir showed similar adverse effects.
In ventilated patients, the death toll is staggering. A National Library of Medicine January 2021 report of 69 studies involving more than 57,000 patients concluded that fatality rates were 45 percent in COVID-19 patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, increasing to 84 percent in older patients.
Renz announced at a Truth for Health Foundation Press Conference that CMS data showed that in Texas hospitals, 84.9% percent of all patients died after more than 96 hours on a ventilator.
Then there are deaths from restrictions on effective treatments for hospitalized patients. Renz and a team of data analysts have estimated that more than 800,000 deaths in America’s hospitals, in COVID-19 and other patients, have been caused by approaches restricting fluids, nutrition, antibiotics, effective antivirals, anti-inflammatories, and therapeutic doses of anticoagulants.
We now see government-dictated medical care at its worst in our history since the federal government mandated these ineffective and dangerous treatments for COVID-19, and then created financial incentives for hospitals and doctors to use only those “approved” (and paid for) approaches.
Our formerly trusted medical community of hospitals and hospital-employed medical staff have effectively become “bounty hunters” for your life. Patients need to now take unprecedented steps to avoid going into the hospital for COVID-19.
Do you want to fix this problem? Here is what you need to know to start. 1. CANADA is not a COUNTRY. It is a corporation. We DID NOT CONFEDERATE – we CONSOLIDATED. The “CROWN” went broke because of the cost of the railroad and lost their AUTHORITY when they went bankrupt. This is why it is called a DE FACTO government.
“De facto describes practices that exist in reality, even though they are not officially recognized by laws. It is commonly used to refer to what happens in practice, in contrast with de jure, which refers to things that happen according to law”
Therefore, CANADA IS NOT A STATE OR A COUNTRY. It is a corporation ACTING / PRACTICING like a country, And therefore EVERY person who participates in its acts/ practices MUST DO SO VOLUNTARILY.
HOW DO YOU CONVINCE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE AND BECOME ACTORS?
Introducing the BIRTH CERTIFICATE and STATUS CARDS.
When you are born in the hospital your parents are provided with a record of your birth and the hospital keeps one as well – it’s called a LIVE BIRTH STATEMENT. Then the hospital will bring you an application and some other paperwork from the government to apply for the “birth certificate “ or “status card”. Before this invention, new members of the family were recorded in the bible and people required witnesses to obtain identification to participate in social activities – like driving, opening a business, accounts etc by obtaining identification ( which used to be used for the purpose of record-keeping ). But with the birth certificate (we were led to believe ) that we would have benefits that we otherwise would not be entitled to. Like free healthcare, a passport etc. BUT THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE – ( to put in short – offering free healthcare and free education comes from how much our natural resources are worth, but that is going to set us off track to the point I am making here, so leave it for a later date ) The status and certificate application is a legal ( de facto for lawful) contract, and every contract comes with terms of use. (The fine print ) . In this application, to put it bluntly, You are applying to be recognized by a self-proclaimed authority and obtain all the benefits that come with that alleged validation. In exchange for that so-called validation, You are committing to submit your baby’s sovereignty (property of your child in the case of the BC OR STATUS) to the corporation ( or de facto government ) retaining only the USE of the property. Once the application is accepted and REGISTERED .. the contract is complete and a numbered company(BETTER KNOWN AS A PERSON) is then created and the status card or certificate is issued with that number on it. This number is then used by the corporation (CANADA) to float bonds for profit backed by the monetary worth of the value of the natural resources your child is entitled to an equal share of.
THE WORD FOR THIS IS SLAVERY.
Legal dictionary definition of a person is an entity or corporation that cannot take responsibility for itself)
It is because of this contact that the government can hold authority over you. BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION … IN CONTRACT LAW – INFORMED CONSENT IS EVERYTHING. I cannot sell you a car and write-tree on the bill of sale, that would be a fraud. So if I wanted to avoid being caught for fraud while I frauded millions of people, HOW WOULD I DO IT?
I WOULD MANIPULATE THE TOOL OF WHICH IS USED FOR COMMUNICATION. Ever walk into a courtroom and wonder how it’s possible that they speak the same language as you but you never comprehend a word they are saying? WELCOME TO : PSYCHOLINGUISTIC MANIPULATION 101.
There are two uses for every language on earth, one used publicly and another used in the creation of statutes and regulations.
The creation of the “person” came with great responsibility ( it’s no easy task to take control over millions of people in an effort to profit off them) so the “person” or “corporate fiction” was created to ACT like a living breathing human being, so had to be a parallel SOCIETY of which it operates in, including an entire judicial system and the creation of legislation to rule over it. MADE TO “ACT” like the laws that rule us as living breathing human beings.
LAW vs LEGAL
To break a law is to commit a crime. To commit a crime is to infringe upon the life, liberty, security or property of another. NO VICTIM, NO CRIME.
This is why there is a different court for murderers than there are for traffic tickets.
To commit a crime is to break a law. And therefore you will go to a court of LAW and either prove your innocence or take your punishment.
To violate an ACT or STATUTE( a rule made by the fictional authority ) is not committing a crime and therefore you will go to a DE FACTO court or a court of application ( court of appeal, provincial court, family court, etc) and deal the BUSINESS MATTER by way of negotiation. ( usually resulting in some sort of payment ) .
HERE IS THE THING … YOU DID NOT EVER PROVIDE YOUR INFORMED CONSENT TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH A CORPORATION THAT INTENDED TO ENSLAVE YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROFIT. And therefore you still HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO NULLIFY THAT CONTRACT and OBTAIN not only all the estate and assets of the corporation that was unlawfully created without your informed consent but you are also entitled to compensation for the damages you experienced while you were being infringed upon without your voluntary consent.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS KNOW WHO YOU ARE – AND THEN OWN IT.
And you will learn how to do that using a NOTICE OF INTENT and A CLAIM OF RIGHT, properly in the coming weeks.
For everyone to prepare though, go to YouTube and watch the video BURSTING BUBBLES OF GOVERNMENT DECEPTION … The gentleman in the video is working right now on a method that everyone will be able to apply to END ALL THE INSANITY once and for all…. And OUR TEAM intends to aid in building a NEW SYSTEM to MANAGE your assets once you TAKE YOUR SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY back.
FREEDOM COULD ONLY EVER BE TAKEN.

Throughout the pandemic, wearing a face mask has been one of the best ways that anyone can easily reduce their risk of catching or spreading COVID-19. Putting aside the often contentious debate over mask mandates, face masks remain a crucial and effective individual tool, which is why it continues to be frustrating that most people, two years in, are not wearing better masks. That’s due in large part to how public health officials have mishandled the issue, including by giving mixed messages about whether to wear masks and which ones to use, but the bottom line is that the cloth masks everyone started buying in the spring and summer of 2020 were never a great match for an airborne virus like COVID and are even less so against the more and more transmissible variants that have emerged, such as Delta and Omicron. Surgical masks, when medical-grade quality and worn tightly across the face, are better than cloth masks. But high filtration respirators like N95s or KN95s — which are quite comfortable, provide gold-standard protection against airborne particles, and have been widely available from reputable sellers in the U.S. for a long time — are what everyone should now be using and what every institution should be making available.My Week In New YorkA week-in-review newsletter from the people who make New York Magazine.
One of the most vocal advocates for the use of higher-quality masks throughout the pandemic has been Stanford infectious-diseases doctor Abraar Karan, who has researched COVID transmission and been calling for the use of higher-filtration face masks since the spring of 2020. His Twitter feed continues to be an invaluable resource for information on mask effectiveness, criticism of the inadequate public-health efforts regarding masking, and other commentary on COVID-19. I spoke with Dr. Karan about his ongoing campaign for better masks, their importance in the fight against Omicron, and why you should replace that cloth mask in your underwear drawer.
Why should people start using high-filtration masks like N95s and KN95s as their go-to, everyday masks rather than cloth ones? The key reason is that transmission of the coronavirus is primarily through aerosols, which float around in the air — you inhale them — and are not filtered well by cloth masks. You really need melt-blown polypropylene, which you find in surgical masks and N95s, to stop these small particles.
So do you think normal people should get N95 or KN95 respirators and then throw out their cloth and surgical masks? I think the surgical masks can still work really well with a mask fitter [i.e., a frame or brace that is worn over the mask, ensuring an improved fit]. Surgical masks are also melt-blown polypropylene, three layers. They’re actual medical three-layer masks. So those are still pretty good if you can get the fit improved. In terms of cloth masks, I’d rather you wear something than nothing. But if you’re able to upgrade, that would be great.
As one of my colleagues has put it, just like you have a fire extinguisher, everyone should have access to respirators for an emergency. And I think that’s right. I think that the next time there’s a pandemic, or the next surge or whatever it is, if we need to wait for new vaccines and there are delays, you should be able to reach into your drawer, pull out a high-filtration mask, and feel protected. Not wear a bandana.
Right. Because respirators can provide protection against other airborne health threats, like wildfire smoke. They’re not just effective against viruses. Oh, yeah, all kinds of stuff. I think the whole concept of cleaning the air is something that we have all sort of known, but didn’t take that seriously when it came to pollution and stuff like that. I think people are now starting to realize that the air we breathe is as important as the water we’re drinking or washing our hands.
How often can you reuse them? Does the electrostatic charge that attracts the particles wear off? Peter Tsai, the scientist who invented the material used in N95s, has said that you could reuse them for a while and recommended buying seven masks and using a different one each day while letting the others sit out. Exactly how long the charge lasts, I think, really depends on the environmental conditions — humidity and sweat and things like that. But it’s up to the government to figure out how long an average person could use it. I think these are things that the CDC really should have been looking into. They’ve had a year and a half now. It’s crazy.
How has Omicron, which is clearly the most transmissible variant yet, changed your personal approach to managing your COVID risk, including when you decide to mask up outside of the hospital? The transmissibility issue is a huge one, and masks are completely tied to that. The chances of catching COVID in transient or fleeting interactions, like being in the grocery store for a few minutes or being face-to-face with somebody for a conversation — I think It’s far more likely that I could get transmission now with this variant than with any others in the past. It changes my risk calculus.
I don’t think I’m going to get severely ill from this. I’m a healthy young guy, fully vaccinated. But I don’t want an infection for a few reasons. One is that I don’t want to transmit COVID to other people. Two, I don’t want to get infected at all. I can’t afford to be out of work. It’s the holidays, and the staffing isn’t great. I’m taking care of sick patients. Three, I don’t want to suffer potential morbidity effects, like long COVID and whatnot. I’ve treated and seen this in people that come in completely healthy, and they had ongoing symptoms for weeks after getting COVID. It’s real; I’ve treated patients who have this. We don’t know what to do with a lot of these cases.
And four, you don’t want to have a lot of infections at once. The problem with this high transmission is that you don’t want to surge. Surges are inherently bad. So when people are saying, “Well, I’m going to get this at some point anyways,” my response is that that may or may not be true, but it’s not good for everyone to get this at the same time. Because you may need to be evaluated in an emergency room, and people are still getting sick with other things that they had. And now some of those people are scared to go to hospitals, and they are getting delayed care for things that need urgent attention. There’s a lot of ripple effects from a lot of people getting sick at once. So, for me, it’s a no-brainer: This is not the time to increase your risk-taking.
What do you see as primary barriers when it comes to widespread public adoption of high-filtration masks? I think that people don’t know which masks to get, or where to get them, and then actually being able to afford them. Those are issues that the government can address. They can literally just say, “Okay, let’s look into this. Here are four or five mask options that we think the public can use. Here’s an instructional kit on how to improve fit.”
It’s not going to be perfect, but we’re not aiming for perfect; we’re aiming for good enough to get transmission curbed significantly. Make these masks ubiquitously available. Make them available before you enter malls, before you enter grocery stores. Make them available in vending machines for a very low cost or no cost. Send some to people’s houses. There are so many ways to do this. It’s the job of some people in the government to figure these problems out. This is not my job. I’m in infectious disease taking care of patients; I’m not supposed to be telling the government how to do this. This is ridiculous.
Right. I mean, these are operational problems. This is not even my expertise. I’m a doctor.
And this is not the first time you and others have tried to raise awareness about the need for better masks during this pandemic. It happened after Delta emerged, too. It has come up like five different times. And let’s say it’s later, a different virus — do you want to be reaching into your underwear drawer again for a mask next time? This is ridiculous.
Another concern people seem to have about wearing better masks is fit. This seems to have always been the issue with surgical masks, which I rarely see anyone wearing correctly — tight across the mouth and nose with no open gaps. I know my beard, as illustrated by that periodically viral CDC infographic, reduces the protection my masks provide. I’ll sometimes buzz it down to try to get a tighter seal with my N95 when I know I’ll be going into a higher-risk situation. But while somebody with a big beard might think, What’s the point?, an imperfectly fit N95 is still better protection. Exactly. And I’ll tell you, I feel completely protected now. I wore my N95 to the gym and worked out, and everything felt totally fine. I didn’t have any issues breathing. I felt protected. From day one of this pandemic, if you wanted to not shut down and you wanted people to still go into workplaces, there have been ways to do this. You can wear a good mask, go to work and then if you need to take a break, step outside. There are ways to do this and not have people bring the virus back home and infect their families.
To me, if you lose a few percentage points of efficacy here or there, that kind of pales in comparison to if everybody had better masks on, even if those masks were not completely, perfectly fitted or perfectly working at 95-plus efficacy. Even if they were working at 80 percent, if everybody was doing it, compared to 20 percent, it would still have such an immense impact on stunting transmission. That is the big picture here. People who argue, “Well if it’s unfitted, it may not be 95 percent effective,” are missing the forest for the trees.
How do you and other health-care workers, in a higher-risk environment like a hospital, make sure your N95s fit properly? We get fit tested once in the beginning of the year and then we don’t have a required fit test daily or anything after that. You use the mask that you’re fit-tested with and then you basically want to make sure that you don’t have facial hair, that you have a tight seal, and that your nose bridge is tightened in. And then, if you are feeling a lot of air coming out, you have to possibly readjust it. I haven’t had that happen yet though. My fit has never felt compromised with the mask I’m fit-tested for. And even with the masks I’ve used that I’m not fit-tested for, outside the hospital, it feels fine. I don’t feel any air leaking. It feels like a tight solid fit.
I’ve seen hundreds of cases, and I’ve never tested positive, let alone developed actual symptoms or gotten sick. So I really believe in the efficacy of these masks. And I believe health-care workers shouldn’t just be wearing them for patients with confirmed COVID, because during surges there’s a lot of occult transmission. So you have people who are testing positive that didn’t come in with COVID or didn’t test positive when they first came in, and you have a lot of community transmission that’s coming into hospitals from health-care workers and staff. So right now, during the surge, I am wearing my N95 when we go to the wards for all patients.
Studies seem to show that ventilation can have a larger effect than masking does, what do you make of that? At a community level? Yeah. Ventilation has a uniform effect where you’re cleaning the air out. The difference is if you’re extremely infectious and someone’s right in front of you, it doesn’t matter unless you’re outdoors — ventilation is not going to be sucking particles out constantly to the extent that you’re going to completely stop transmission. Whereas if you’re wearing a mask in those closed settings, it would. And I think it’s an additive effect. All of these interventions are building upon one another to help. And so I think it’s not one versus the other.
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
The Strategist’s guide to face masks includes recommendations for numerous NIOSH-approved N95 respirators, as well as good KN95 and KF94 masks, and advice on how to avoid counterfeit imported masks.
This says it all…..Why people are vaccine-hesitant in a nutshell.
NZ’s prime minister opened up a post to understand the ‘hesitant’ among us re side-effects of the experimental mRNA spike protein vaccine.. here’s a potent reply by Jo Wright; “Of all the vaccines I have taken in my life like Tetanus shots, measles, mumps, polio, meningitis, TB shots, etc…Never have I heard so many lies and deceptions over a vaccine that says I have to wear a mask and socially distance even when fully vaccinated, and that I could still contract or spread the virus even after being fully vaccinated.
Never had to get tested when I was perfectly healthy without any symptoms whatsoever.
Never been bribed by the establishments to take the vaccine in order to win a holiday and/or cash prizes or earn frequent flyer points.I never had to worry about cardiac issues, neurological disorders, blood clots and sadly more! Didn’t even have to worry about death.
Never was I ever THREATENED by the use of FORCE by the Government, Employers, Police force, and Military for a vaccine as seen overseas. I was never judged by my friends or relatives if I didn’t take it. I was never discriminated against for travel or other regular services to a point where I could not buy or sell without it. The vaccines I have listed above never told me I was a bad person for not taking them or for even taking them for that matter. I have never seen a vaccine that threatened the relationship between my family members and/or close friends to a point of destroying my relationships with them ever.
Never have I seen it used for political gain. Never seen a vaccine needing 24/7 mass media advertising and promotion on every media outlet known to man. Then there’s mixing and matching different vaccine brands and being told it’s okay to do it one day and then told the next day to not do it (overseas).I have never seen a vaccine threaten someone’s livelihood, as well as wipe out their jobs.I have never seen a vaccine that allows a 12-year-old child’s consent to supersede their parent’s consent (that one alone blows me away).
Finally, after all the vaccines (jab, shots) I listed above, I have never seen a vaccine like this one that discriminates, divides, and judges a society. So much information is censored, deleted, and removed from the internet and mainstream media! So many doctors, health care professionals, police and scientists are censored and forbidden to speak out or ask legitimate questions when what is being allowed or not allowed does not make sense! Particularly when it comes from mainstream media. I have never known a vaccine that has made all the Pharmaceutical companies that manufacture it exempt from liability if it kills everyone to a point where no life insurance will cover it! This is one powerful vaccine guys! It does all these things above that I have mentioned and yet? It does NOT do the one thing it is supposed to do which is? FIGHT OFF THIS PANDEMIC so why on earth would I get it.”Today, I have not seen any commercials on TV or in the media about healthy food, food and living water, lifestyle change, positive thinking, exercise (any type of physical activity) and well-being in general. Gymnasiums are closed, we are forced to breathe in a mask, we are locked in houses in the media there is only talk about illness and death … the exact opposite of what a healthy body needs to stay healthy and live in harmony. copied:

A change to Alert Level 3 means some businesses are forced to close as of 12:01 a.m. Thursday. (Jaison Empson/CBC)
Newfoundland and Labrador is back in COVID-19 Alert Level 3 as of Thursday morning, brought on by a rapid increase of COVID-19 cases, the emergence of the Omicron variant and outbreaks found across three of the province’s regional health authorities.
The alert level change was announced by Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald Wednesday after 60 new cases of the virus were reported. It ties for the second-highest number of new cases the province has seen in a single day and brings the province’s active case count up from 30 to 223 in just one week.
The entire province is subject to rule changes, so here’s what things will look like until the alert level is reassessed on Jan. 10.
Gatherings and public spaces
As part of Alert Level 3, people are encouraged to maintain a “steady 20.” Household bubbles are allowed to interact with 20 close, consistent contacts outside of their bubble.
Informal gatherings, such as holiday parties in a home, are also limited to those in your steady 20.
Other gatherings like weddings, funerals, burials and religious and cultural ceremonies are limited to either 100 people or 50 percent capacity with physical distancing in place depending on which number is smaller. Public visitations can continue, but wakes are prohibited.
Recreation
Fitness facilities, gyms, swimming pools, yoga studios, tennis and squash courts, arenas and dance studios are all able to operate following the same rules as some gatherings — 100 people or 50 percent capacity, whichever is smaller — and physical distancing must be maintained between households.
Amateur sports and recreation can continue under Alert Level 3, but are limited to practices, training and competition among themselves. Competing against other teams, divisions and associations is not permitted. Some sporting associations around the province had already cancelled competition earlier this month until the new year.
Outdoor playgrounds and equipment can be used if owners and operators allow, but outdoor performance spaces are closed. Activities like walking or running, snow-shoeing and hiking are encouraged as long as physical distancing can be maintained.
Businesses
Restaurants can open at 50 percent capacity for in-person dining as part of the change as long as physical distancing can be maintained. Buffets are prohibited.
Bars, lounges, cinemas and bingo halls are closed.
Retail stores, including shopping malls, can remain open at full capacity. Personal service businesses such as salons, spas, esthetic services, body piercing and tattooing and tanning salons can open in accordance with public health guidelines.

Health care
Visitor restrictions are in place for acute care, long-term care, personal-care homes, community-care homes and assisted living facilities in accordance with the guidelines for support persons or designated visitors.
Private health-care clinics can open in accordance with public health guidelines.
How you know this is a cult… is all the evidence from around the world tells you not to be worried about omicron, but people are still lined up like cattle to get tests and boosters.
They don’t care about data or facts. Like the fact that not one person is in ICU in all of Ontario with Omicron. And no one in this country has died with it. It’s a cold. But people just want their cult. They built their lives around now.
They schedule coffee and a booster with their friends. They all meet at the testing clinic like it’s where all the cool kids hang out. People get upset when you try to take away their blanky. It makes them angry and uncomfortable.
I remember years ago when someone called out my ‘so-called’ Christianity. They hammered on me. “WHY do you believe it?” Well because…. “Yeah, but WHY??” Well… I was raised with it. “But why do YOU believe it?” Because… I like the idea of it? It makes me feel safe? IDK.
I was really torn up about it. It had me doubting everything. It’s upsetting to have your beliefs questioned and not have any solid answers to back them up.
I was rational enough to take a step back from my so-called beliefs and reevaluate. I didn’t want to believe something just because my parents and friends did and because I was born into it. I needed to learn on my own and it’s a never-ending journey.
To break free of the fear, people need to break free of the warm, fuzzy cult blanky that so many are relying on day to day to justify their complacency.
It’s not an easy thing to do, I get it, but holy crap it’s irritating.
