Effective legal action is probably required for removing unreasonable and ineffective restrictions on religious liberty while maintaining the public health
By Howard Laitin
After, participating in numerous discussions at Los Angeles County and local levels, I am firmly convinced that the only way to effectively counter the cascading and overreaching control lockdown mechanisms currently being unilaterally instituted by many governors in collusion with their politically dependent public-health deputies is legal action coupled with scientific support.
Thus, I would like to reach someone at the The Alliance Defending Freedom who could receive materials from me, review them, and if they are deemed to be useful could then use them in instituting legal actions which would then permit beleaguered Jewish and other religious communities to return to their pre-pandemic robust level of operations and maintain their health and safety at a higher level than is offered by the nebulous claimed advantages of the various lockdown and distancing mandates.
There are simple, inexpensive procedures that would guarantee safety at a level much higher than that which is claimed for the current lockdown mandates. I believe that these materials will help provide the basis for developing simple and inexpensive programs that will allow numerous religious and other institutions and Jewish and other communities of faith to re-open their religious, social and economic lives and restore themselves to the pre- Covid-19 panic conditions.
Basically, I am recommending the widespread prophylactic use of hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic and , if symptoms occur, hydroxychloroquine or another specified medicationm as a first go to fire extinguisher type of therapeutic application during the first days of the appearance of possible symptoms.
For Individual synagogues, churches, communities such as Boro Park, etc. it would be best to follow through with an inexpensive, rapid, easy to read tests which could be self-administered to attending worshipers who after five to 15 minute would then be shown to be noninfectious and thus not subject to masking or social distancing requirements. [ Also the use of air scrubbers and other ventilation techniques to make the indoors circulation at least as robust as the outdoor circulation is currently well understood and would destroy any artificial guide-line distinction that the public health authorities might try to establish when they say outdoors is okay but indoors is forbidden.]
Currently there are several legal cases that you might be interested in. (1) Grace church in California . Their lead attorney’s email is pjonna@limandri.com (2) here is is the link to a law firm that has won several cases, one against a governors mandates, and two others against universities.

I am attaching an introductory memo which should then give you and the religious authorities the ability to proceed with the specifics that can be tailored to the individual needs of their communities. Also, contained in this memo are first cut leads, who should then be able to connect you with specific advisors that can help tyou develop t] individualized programs and with the scientific support that would enable you to prevail in court.
Again note , what is provided is information and links to qualified individuals who could then provide the necessary information for you working with multiple organizations and multiple communities to develop effective, legally supportable, individually tailored programs.
ER ON A LARGE SCALE HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AS A PROPHYLACTIC
Program
1. Substantially reduces the likelihood of transmission of the virus;
2. Provides protection for the most vulnerable [the aged, those with one or more existing medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart problems, etc.];
3. Provides prophylactic protection for those who may become exposed to the virus ….and if already exposed to the virus, provides the early” fire extinguisher” type of protection against the increasing buildup of the patient’s viral load.
4. Provides prompt and effective treatment to those who become infected [ rather than having them wait at home to see what happens to them in terms their developing significant symptoms [and the resulting medical complications and disabilities] ,which is the current standard medical practice. [Should any participant(s) present with any symptoms of the virus, then they, their family members and others in very close contact with them should be placed immediately in a treatment program. I would suggest that if the patient was on hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic then he should be switched to Ivermectin as a therapeutic.]
5. CAN BE ADDED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. Rapid, inexpensive quick and easy to read testing which would identify those who are either not infected and/or those whose viral loading is below the threshold at which they become a spreader. The testing program will also identify those who are infected to the point where they will have sufficient viral loading to become spreaders.[All the attending students, all faculty, all administration and other adults in contact with the school and their immediate families will undergo weekly testing with a test that Dr. Mina of Harvard Medical School recommends which he states will test positive if a person harbors the virus before the person becomes a potential spreader of the virus.]
6 CAN BE ADDED IMMEDIATELY AND INDEPENDENTLY. All classrooms, offices, etc. will be equipped with air scrubbers to create an indoor environment equal to the outdoor environment. [There is an abundance of available information on the use of fans, etc. to increase indoor air circulation. There is an increasing amount of information being released about systems utilizing ultraviolet, ozone, etc. to kill the airborne virus. ] Also, all surfaces will be wiped down every day with a treatment that has already been approved by the US EPA (which is certified to kill the coronavirus for at least one week).
.Benefits for the Jewish community
At a minimum Jewish community will achieve substantially reduced infection rates probably similar to those Third World countries which routinely utilize hydroxychloroquine as an over-the-counter prophylactic against yellow fever. Data shows that Covid-19 infection rates in those countries has been far below that the infection rates of Europe, the United States, China etc.
If it works as well as it has reported in various peer-reviewed cited studies, then lockdownwns, social distancing, masks, and other restrictions on Jewish life will have been proved to be unnecessary and the Jewish community will be able to emerge from its current social and economic Covid-19 quagmirereturn and return to its robust pre-pandemic life. [ Possibly even more important is that would free the Jewish religious communities from the accusations made against them by governors , mayors and even by some secular Jews] that they are negligent and uncaring spreaders Covid-19.]
Costs
Medically this drug has been in use for decades both as a prophylactic and in certain conditions such as lupus and experience shows that is safe no medical consequences]
The drug is a generic. It is low cost. Many dozens, possibly hundreds of drug manufacturers now manufacturing supplements, could easily manufacture this drug in quantity at low cost and meet the highest standards of purity.

5. TESTING INFORMATION
TESTING people, who carry the coronavirus whether they have obvious signs of infection or do not have obvious signs of infection, will test positive before they become carriers on numerous rapid tests that are nearly immediately available. you should do your own evaluation and not depend upon prior United States approval . Dr Mina explains why the existing structure and charters responsibility of the various existing US government medical institutions make them a roadblock and not functioning highway.

Thus give each person [ either periodically or on their way into the classroom, service, restaurant, game/event, transportation, office, store, etc] a simple, inexpensive screening test that can be immediately read by anyone, without any special laboratory equipment.
To get there, it is necessary to recognize the major difference between diagnostic tests – which can detect ultra-low levels of viral RNA – and public health screening tests, which tell you whether you are contagious.
Diagnostics are what doctors use to know why someone is sick. They are a specific kind of test. A diagnostic that a doctor orders must be very good to do what it is meant to do – determine if someone is sick for a specific reason. So it needs to be high sensitivity and high specificity, there’s little wiggle room.
A public health [surveillance] test indicates that something is present which warrants further examination and possible follow-up.[ The criticism of many of these tests is that they fail to detect a positive during the first several days of the infection as the virus count goes up but is still below the threshold of sensitivity. If the tests are administered once a week this should not matter since the person who is infected becomes a transmitter only after several days [? Check out and insert the correct exact range] and the second test a week later should read positive.]

c.. From HARVEY A. RISCH, MD, PHD , PROFESSOR OF EPIDEMIOLOGY, YALE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH ….”The Key to Defeating COVID-19 Already Exists[ hydroxychloroquine]. We Need to Start Using It “
As professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, I have authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines.
As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly.I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine. When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.
On May 27, I published an article in the American Journal of Epidemiology (AJE) entitled, “Early Outpatient Treatment of Symptomatic, High-Risk COVID-19 Patients that Should be Ramped-Up Immediately as Key to the Pandemic Crisis.” That article, published in the world’s leading epidemiology journal, analyzed five studies, demonstrating clear-cut and significant benefits to treated patients, plus other very large studies that showed the medication safety
d. Hydroxy Hysteria Reaching a Fever Pitch [Exerpts]
By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. American Thinker 7-31-20 Ever since President Trump mentioned hydroxy as a possible therapeutic, the media have castigated it as worse than rat poison. They’ve criticized any use of it in a constant barrage of fear, telling everyone that this 60-year-old drug would kill anyone who dared tak 8-e it.
Hydroxy was FDA-approved in 1955 and is taken for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. FDA approval means the approved drug is both efficacious and safe. All of a sudden, after 60 years, the FDA decided hydroxy is no longer safe because of, “serious heart rhythm problems and other safety issues, including blood and lymph system disorders, kidney injuries, and liver problems and failure.” If it is so unsafe, why did the FDA not rescind its 60-year-old approval?
It is worth noting that diseases treated by hydroxy for the past half century can cause these problems as well. As can COVID, which if severe, can also cause death. So, the FDA deems it safe to treat those sick with lupus and autoimmune diseases with hydroxy but not those sick or hospitalized with COVID.Several days ago, a group of physicians called “America’s Frontline Doctors held a press conference in front of the U.S. Supreme Court building discussing the coronavirus and hydroxychloroquine. One physician in particular, Dr Stella Immanuel, gave an impassioned shout-out for hydroxy:
I have personally treated over 350 patients with COVID. Patients that have diabetes, patients that have high blood pressure, patients that have asthma, old people … I think my oldest patient is 92 … 87-year old. And the result has been the same. I put them on hydroxychloroquine, I put them on zinc, I put them on Zithromax, and they’re all well.
Some studies say hydroxy doesn’t work, like giving hydroxy to patients too sick to benefit, already on a ventilator, as in the VA study. Other studies found safety concerns and were published in prestigious medical journals like The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine, only to be discovered to be bogus and retracted. Still other studies, as from the Henry Ford Health System noted that hydroxy cut the death rate in half.
This chart from the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons shows a much lower case fatality rate in countries where hydroxy is allowed and encouraged rather than banned or discouraged.
e.Hydroxychloroquine by Emily Benedek The Tablet 8-14-20
https://www.tabletmag.com/
Early in the coronavirus pandemic, a survey of the world’s frontline physicians showed hydroxychloroquine to be the drug they considered the most effective at treating COVID-19 patients. That was in early April, shortly after a French study showed it was safe and effective in lowering the virus count, at times in combination with azithromycin. Next we were told hydroxychloroquine was likely ineffective, and also dangerous, and that that French study was flawed and the scientist behind it worthy of mockery. More studies followed, with contradictory results, and then out came what was hailed by some as a definitive study of 96,000 patients showing the drug was most certainly dangerous and ineffective, and indeed that it killed 30% more people than those who didn’t take it. Within days, that study was retracted, with the editor of one of the two most respected medical journals in the Western world conceding it was “a monumental fraud.” And on it went.
f. Treatment with Hydroxychloroquine Cut Death Rate Significantly in COVID-19 Patients, Henry Ford Health System Study Shows July 02, 2020
https://www.henryford.com/
DETROIT – Treatment with hydroxychloroquine cut the death rate significantly in sick patients hospitalized with COVID-19 – and without heart-related side-effects, according to a new studypublished by Henry Ford Health System. In a large-scale retrospective analysis of 2,541 patients hospitalized between March 10 and May 2, 2020 across the system’s six hospitals, the study found 13% of those treated with hydroxychloroquine alone died compared to 26.4% not treated with hydroxychloroquine. None of the patients had documented serious heart abnormalities; however, patients were monitored for a heart condition routinely pointed to as a reason to avoid the drug as a treatment for COVID-19.
The study was published today in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, the peer-reviewed, open-access online publication of the International Society of Infectious Diseases (ISID.org).
Patients treated with hydroxychloroquine at Henry Ford met specific protocol criteria as outlined by the hospital system’s Division of Infectious Diseases. The vast majority received the drug soon after admission; 82% within 24 hours and 91% within 48 hours of admission. All patients in the study were 18 or over with a median age of 64 years; 51% were men and 56% African American.
“The findings have been highly analyzed and peer-reviewed,” said Dr. Marcus Zervos, division head of Infectious Disease for Henry Ford Health System, who co-authored the study with Henry Ford epidemiologist Samia Arshad. “We attribute our findings that differ from other studies to early treatment, and part of a combination of interventions that were done in supportive care of patients, including careful cardiac monitoring. Our dosing also differed from other studies not showing a benefit of the drug. And other studies are either not peer reviewed, have limited numbers of patients, different patient populations or other differences from our patients.” Zervos said the potential for a surge in the fall or sooner, and infections continuing worldwide, show an urgency to identifying inexpensive and effective therapies and preventions. “We’re glad to add to the scientific knowledge base on the role and how best to use therapies as we work around the world to provide insight,” he said. “Considered in the context of current studies on the use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19, our results suggest that the drug may have an important role to play in reducing COVID-19 mortality.”
The study also found those treated with azithromycin alone or a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin also fared slightly better than those not treated with the drugs, according to the Henry Ford data. The analysis found 22.4% of those treated only with azithromycin died, and 20.1% treated with a combination of azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine died, compared to 26.4% of patients dying who were not treated with either medication. “Our analysis shows that using hydroxychloroquine helped save lives,” said neurosurgeon Dr. Steven Kalkanis, CEO, Henry Ford Medical Group and Senior Vice President and Chief Academic Officer of Henry Ford Health System. “As doctors and scientists, we look to the data for insight. And the data here is clear that there was benefit to using the drug as a treatment for sick, hospitalized patients.”
Henry Ford Health System, as one of the region’s major academic medical centers with more than $100 million in annual research funding, is involved in numerous COVID-19 trials with national and international partners. Henry Ford Health System is a $6.5 billion integrated health system comprised of six hospitals, a health plan, and 250+ sites including medical centers, walk-in and urgent care clinics, pharmacy, eye care facilities and other healthcare retail. Established in 1915 by auto industry pioneer Henry Ford, the health system now has 32,000 employees and remains home to the 1,900-member Henry Ford Medical Group, one of the nation’s oldest physician groups. An additional 2,200 physicians are also affiliated with the health system through the Henry Ford Physician Network. An active participant in medical education and training, the health system has trained nearly 40% of physicians currently practicing in the state and also provides education and training for other health professionals including nurses, pharmacists, radiology and respiratory technicians.

Otherwise except for Hydroxychloroquine she had no other medication. The physician at the hospital claimed that Hydroxychloroquine was ineffective. The son , in a major article ,claimed otherwise. If the report was to be utilized by CDC they would take the hospital position and chalk it up that it was “ineffective.”
l. Coronavirus at Texas Nursing Home – Hydroxychloroquine Treatment Saves All But 1 Patient
The Resort at Texas nursing home had an outbreak of coronavirus that infected 56 residents and 33 staff members. “Two of our residents had symptoms and that’s when we tested everybody,” said nursing home Executive Director Jan Piveral. 56 residents and 33 staff members were COVID-19 positive. “Our Goal was to make sure we could shelter them in place so we don’t spread it to other people,” Armstrong said. “Then also at the same time treat them so they would get better.”Dr. Robin Armstrong immediately administered hydroxychloroquine to the residents and staff members along with Zpac and Zinc. Only one nursing home patient died since the doctor prescribed the hydroxychloroquine. 55 made it.<
When Armstrong began administering Hydroxychloroquine to it was controversial but appeared promising.“If we didn’t make the decision quickly then we could potentially lose 15 to 20% of the residents which was not an option,” said the Doctor. Armstrong’s approach was to begin administering Hydroxychloroquine a Zpac and Zinc just as soon as a resident first started showing symptoms.The patients were being monitored daily. “We did EKGs on each of these patients to make sure they didn’t have the cardiac side effects that everyone talks about,” Armstrong said. “None of our patients did.”Armstrong doesn’t call the Hydroxychloroquine a cure and is aware of all the recent reports that say the drug shouldn’t be used to treat COVID-19.But he points out only one of the nursing homes COVID-19 patients has died.“Everyone who got on treatment who started on treatment is actually doing really well,” he said.<

Conclusion: TREAT AS EARLY AND AS AGGRESSIVELY AS POSSIBLE IN THE OUTPATIENT SETTING
n. MORE THAN 2,304 PHYSICIANS WHO ARE CURRENTLY SUCCESSFULLY TREATING PATIENTS INFECTED WITH THE COVID-19 REPORTED THEIR “ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE” OF THEIR SUCCESS WITH THEIR PATIENTS UTILIZING HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE
An international survey conducted by Sermo, a global health care polling company, of 6,227 physicians in 30 countries found that 37% of those treating COVID-19 patients rated hydroxychloroquine as the “most effective therapy” from a list of 15 options.
The survey also found that the most commonly prescribed treatments are analgesics (56%), azithromycin (41%) and hydroxychloroquine (33%).<
Hydroxychloroquine, which is sold under the brand name Plaquenil, was prescribed mainly in the United States for the most severe cases, but not so in other countries.
“Outside the U.S., hydroxychloroquine was equally used for diagnosed patients with mild to severe symptoms whereas in the U.S. it was most commonly used for high risk diagnosed patients,” the survey found.
The 30 nations surveyed included those in Europe, Asia, North America and South America, as well as Australia. No incentives were provided to participate in the poll, conducted March 25-27, according to Sermo.
Hydroxychloroquine usage was most widespread in Spain, where 72% of physicians surveyed said they had prescribed it, followed by Italy at 49%, and least popular in Japan, where 7% had used it to treat COVID-19.
The poll found 23% of U.S. medical professionals had prescribed the drug, which has been FDA-approved for malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.<
>
Quoting Sermo CEO Peter Kirk [ which would be direct counter to Dr. Bright’s insistence that these medications be only provided to hospitalized patients] “Physicians should have more of a voice in how we deal with this pandemic and be able to quickly share information with one another and the world,” he said. “With censorship of the media and the medical community in some countries, along with biased and poorly designed studies, solutions to the pandemic are being delayed.”
o. Dr. David Nazarian, Beverly Hills-based physician, diplomate at the American Board of Internal Medicine and founder of My Concierge MD: “If you look [at the] countries where malaria is more prevalent and countries where COVID-19 infections are prevalent, you will find a striking difference. This correlation needs to be explored further as this is not just a mere coincidence,”<

Ivermectin ‘Amazingly Successful’ in Killing Coronavirus By Tauren Dyson August 9, 2020
An Australian drug known as Ivermectin, which is already in use throughout the world to treat parasitic conditions, is showing great results in killing coronavirus in studies involving patients, according to Sky News.
“Because I’m involved in developing these in the U.S. where all the patients are, there are a number of studies that are amazingly successful. We’re talking close to 100%. In fact, we haven’t seen a result yet under 100%. It looks like corona is very simple to kill,” Professor Thomas Brody, medical director of Australia’s Center for Digestive Disease. “It’s available as a prescription medication. You wouldn’t use it alone … but you add two other things to it such as doxycycline and zinc.”
Ivermectin is already approved by the FDA and is on the World Health Organization’s list of model list of essential medicines.<
“We had a 14-hospital trial in Bangladesh. We got [cured] 100 out of 100. In China, they tried to reproduce it. They got 60 out of 60 cured … So I am behind the Ivermectin, doxycycline, zinc treatment because it has very few side effects and is a real killer of coronavirus,” Borody said.
Borody said the Ivermectin tablet could cost as little as $2.
About Professor Thomas Borody. Professor Borody is most famous for his ground-breaking work developing the triple therapy cure for peptic ulcers in 1987, which has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and the Australian health system more than $10 billion in medical care and operations.Professor Borody founded the Centre for Digestive Diseases (CDD) in 1984 after a distinguished career with leading hospitals including St Vincent’s in Sydney and the Mayo Clinic in the USA.He is a world-renowned leader in the clinical microbiota dating back to 1988 when he started performing what is now called Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT). In addition, Dr. Borody has established novel therapies in the gastrointestinal field, including areas such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, CDI, parasite infestation, and resistant Helicobacter pylori via a bismuth-based ‘Triple Therapy’.
CLOSING GENERAL OBSERVATION The single most effective way to save lives would be to improve infection control in nursing homes.<
Providing adequate sanitation and medical care in nursing homes should markedly reduce the covid-19 death rate. And regarding sanitation procedures ,there is a lot for our nursing home administrators and politicians to learn. An excellent source for standards and practices would be the operations of America’s pig farmers (I’m not kidding,…. read the careful procedures that America’s pig farmers follow to prevent the spread of infections in their pig breeding facilities.)]<attachments area

Coronavirus Pandemic Update 98: Rapid COVID 19 Antigen Testing at Home – A Possible Breakthrough<
@ Edgar G.:
The UCD School of Medicine dis-associated itself from her remarks, and the EU Committee she was on requested her to resign because of her COVID-19 allegations.
I think over 180of her students (seems like all of them) objected and protested against her. She made a “clean sweep”. You can see just listening to and looking at her, that she has a couple of screws loose. A populist agitator, the kind that used to stand upon soapboxes at street corners.
@ Adam Dalgliesh:
I’m fairly sure it was one of those small square pictures showing subjects that re always below the lead article on Arutz Sheva. Alternately it must have been one of the smaller sized pictures that appear in a vertical column scrolling down down the page. If you didn’t see it, you were lucky, it would have driven you nuts. So circumstantial, and you are so meticulous over your confirmation of facts. She didn’t mention any studies, or peer reviewed documents. Fat and self-satisfied. Just talked about herself and that she’d had 3 different corona infections a few months ago as they all knew about.. So it seemed , a very local sort of hearing..it may just have bene in someone’s living room… She was sitting in a sort of light chair at a table, and had the kind of fur wrap like my dear late mother had about 60 years ago… a couple of fox skins attached together to lengthen it enough to wear around the shoulders.. .
Adam , a waste of time. I just looked her up on Youtube a load of political rabblerousing about changing the country etc. ad nauseam. The sort of thing yo hear every politician say who wants to be elected. She wants to get on the EU Parliament. Total nut case I’d say. But look her up on youtube.
ADAM- I just found it. I opened a new page on my computer. I typed in Professor Cahill of UCD Dublin’s talk on Corona Virus. Scroll down the page and you’ll see “Prof Dolores Cahill “Positive Test many mean common cols…” and underneath it says “Israel National News” etc , so I was correct, it was on Arutz Sheva. but they’ve taken it out. Let me know what you think. Also look her up on Youtube
@ Edgar G.: Edgar, where did you see this interview with Professor Cahill? I only read an article summarizing her views in Arutz Sheva. Please send me a link. Thanks.
I was disappointed in Prof Cahill. As well as saying that a test may just mean a common cold, she went further. She’s what we used to call “a blatherer”..going into side-tracks all the time, then, once back on track, repeating her original remarks before she went off at a tangent.,, ….like talking in circles, gives the appearance of being too self-satisfied. She says that once you get it you’re immune-like chickenpox. She kept referring to “like chickenpox, immune for life”. But, mentions nothing about those who have contracted the virus more than once, and that young people are also dying…from what’s no more than the common cold,,??… I suppose the “rights” that she accuses politicians of “taking away” are the rights to die from COVID-19 if you chose to…?? A cess-pit stirrer…She’ll be in politics next.
Adam, if you listened to the whole hour plus, “you’re a better man than I am Gunga Din ” Before I’d switched off -maybe half way through-, she’d mentioned nothing about the much more dangerous, and different effects on lung tissue that COVID-19 has, than any other pneumonia, viral or bacterial.
I’ve seen studies which show that the mortality rate of the elderly who catch it, is between 30 and 40% universally. Not a pleasant result from what can be almost like a common cold. By the time we’re sure it isn’t it’s too late… Well many of us are elderly, does it mean that every year we must spend 6 months in isolation, or take a chance of being THE 1-of every 3 who catch the Virus. ..??
Not a pleasant prospect.

Professor of Translational Science, School of Medicine/University College Dublin and Advisory Science Council to Irish Government Professor Dolores Cahill last week said a positive PCR coronavirus test may testify to the presence of the common cold.
“COVID-19 is a seasonal coronavirus; about one-in-ten people had the symptoms, we’re all immune. So they’re now testing people who had it, who were exposed to it. And they just have fragments of the RNA. But the testing, which we don’t need to go into, may actually be positive if you have a common cold, or another circulating virus, just because they’ve had this media storm, like the way we had two influenzas, there could be another circulating coronavirus.”
A University College Dublin (UCD) professor, Cahill chairs the Irish Freedom Party. In June she was asked to resign from a leading European Union scientific committee over online statements she made about COVID-19.
The Irish Times reported that on May 10th, Prof. Cahill promised to “debunk the narrative” of the pandemic. She says that as a result of her campaign, the official death toll was reduced from 1,700 to 100.
Prof. Cahill said lockdown and social distancing are not needed to stop the spread of the virus, and people who recover are then “immune for life” after 10 days. She also said deaths and illnesses could have been prevented by boosting nutrients, like “high-dose vitamin D and vitamin C, which can prevent about 85% of the deaths.”
She said people with underlying health conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, could freely engage in society during the outbreak after spending a few weeks building up their immunity in this manner.
Prof. Cahill said “politicians and the media” are using COVID-19 “as a fear-mongering propaganda tool to try and take away rights from people and to make them more sick and to force vaccinations on us.”
Her group sent official letters to all the coroners in Ireland reminding them that reporting a false cause of death is a felony and that they could be prosecuted and imprisoned for the crime.
They also contacted all the doctors that had treated the dead people to determine if they had offered them known treatments for the disease and reminded them that is was grounds for being struck off the medical register for not offering a known treatment for a disease.” From Today’s Arutz Sheva
The message to all sides is very clear.
This sounds like a great opportunity for the health department and the Orthodox community to agree on a large-scale test program.
Either it works and all Israel and other countries benefit or soon you will find out that
it didn’t work and nothing is lost.
