Re: COVID-19 school-based mitigation strategies

Dear Sitka School District Personnel,

Congratulations to the Sitka school officials who made the brave and right decision to reopen Sitka’s schools in the fall. Now you are left with the unenviable task of deciding what mitigation strategies you will implement to keep students and staff safe. Doing so will be a political minefield. If you do too little, some parents will respond with anger, some will withdraw their kids from school. If you do too much, other parents will do the same.

I have two suggestions for your consideration when you meet to discuss this matter:

Stick with the data and the facts. Because this issue is so political, it’s hard to discern the accuracy of data and facts, but it’s still the best source of information available.
Don’t do anything that harms or injures children. In the words of Hippocrates, “First, do no harm.”

Based on the data, this is what we know:

Comparing state and national case and case fatality rates, lockdowns appear to have little if any effect in preventing transmission or death. In fact, there is evidence that keeping people at home in close quarters for months on end weakens the immune system and increases transmission. In addition, all-cause mortality increases in the USA by some 35,000 lives within five years for every percentage point increase in unemployment. Food banks are now at their breaking point. Famine is predicted. Depression, anxiety, germ related OCD, abuse, addiction, violence, suicide, and death from untreated medical issues will be the long-term legacy of lockdowns. These real and actual harms were not caused by the virus; they were caused by “experts” spreading and responding to inaccurate information about the virus.
There is little if any evidence of asymptomatic transmission of disease. On June 5^th, a leading scientist from the World Health Organization said asymptomatic transmission is “very rare.” The next day, the same scientist back pedaled on her statement, saying in essence that the theory of asymptomatic transmission remains in the disease models and may be happening, but she failed to provide a single example to support the premise. Stated differently, even though millions have been infected worldwide, there is still little if any evidence that healthy people have ever passed C19 to others. Researchers have tried to find the evidence, but there is virtually none.
There is little if any evidence related to the efficacy of masking healthy people in public. On June 5^th the WHO released a paper titled “Advice on the use of masks in the context of COVID-19.” In this paper, they wrote, “. . . the widespread use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence . . .” How could there be? Viruses pass through fabric masks more easily than krill pass through seiners’ nets. While acknowledging that there is no “high quality or direct scientific evidence” to support the benefit of masking healthy people in public, they claim that doing so provides a “likely advantage . . . making people feel they can play a role in contributing to stopping spread of the virus . . . .”
There are significant risks associated with masking healthy people, especially children. In the same paper quoted above, the WHO lists 11 potential risks associated with the use of masks. Following are four of those risks: 1. potential increased risk of self-contamination due to the manipulation of a face mask and subsequently touching eyes with contaminated hands; 2. potential self-contamination that can occur if non-medical masks are not changed when wet or soiled. This can create favourable conditions for microorganism(sp) to amplify; 3. potential headache and/or breathing difficulties, depending on type of mask used; 4. disadvantages for or difficulty wearing them, especially for children [and] those with asthma or chronic respiratory or breathing problems . . . .
Several studies conclude that the overall case fatality rate (CFR) is on par with the seasonal flu. Anthony Fauci and two of his colleagues acknowledged the same to be true almost three months ago in an editorial published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The median age of those who succumb is above 80 years old. And if you die in 2020, your death will likely be counted as a C19 death, with or without evidence that C19 killed you. The risk to children being harmed or dying is less than the risk of being struck by lightning and far less than the risk of dying from influenza.

With these facts in mind, it is evident that public health and government officials have terrified the public, placed billions under house arrest, wreaked havoc on the global economy, enacted an array of ridiculous rules, and encouraged people to wear masks that do more harm than good so they can feel virtuous, all for a virus that is on par with the seasonal flu.

As you know, last month the CDC issued guidelines for reopening schools in the fall. While too lengthy to list the guidelines here, they can be summarized as school-based lockdown: No parents, no visitors, no field trips, no touch, no play, no fun. If implemented, you will cause real and actual harm to Sitka’s children in order to keep them safe from a virus that has virtually no risk of hurting them. In short, you will be party to child abuse. Children have been removed from homes for less abuse. The legacy of school-based lockdown strategies will be similar but worse than the legacy of national lockdowns. Classrooms will become logistical nightmares resulting in scared, frustrated, irritated and angry students, teachers, and parents. Learning will decrease, literacy will plummet, grades will drop, and bullying will become the norm. Dropping out of school, engaging in risky behavior, or committing suicide will provide welcome relief from the senseless abuse.

Of course, the CDC recommends that school children should wear masks. This recommendation is wrong on every level and must not be implemented. Teaching children that the air they inhale will kill them and that the air they exhale will kill their parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends has and will continue to result in trauma, lifelong in some cases. In addition, many children today struggle with asthma and other respiratory issues. If they wear masks, they put their lives at risk, and if they don’t, they will be viewed as disease spreaders and will be bullied. This, for a virus that poses virtually no risk to children.

What about the risk of children spreading the disease to adults? It is not the responsibility of children to protect vulnerable adults from sickness and death. Burdening them with this responsibility by requiring them to wear masks which they can’t possibly wear correctly is both cruel and scientifically indefensible. Masking children is yet another example of institutionally sponsored and culturally sanctioned child abuse that has emerged from this pandemic.

While the risk of harm to children from C19 is virtually zero, the risk of harm to children from CDC recommended mitigation strategies is 100%.

Stated differently, school-based lockdown strategies will result in real and actual harm to all students—up to and including suicide—based on the premise that doing so might prevent future harm to a few adults, most of whom are at or near the end of their lives. No decent grandparent would agree to such a proposition. Neither should you. Your job is to protect schoolchildren from people who can’t or won’t acknowledge these facts.

No doubt, as you’ve read this letter, you are questioning my credentials. I would do the same if I were in your position. You are right to do so. You should neither believe nor disbelieve anything I’ve written based on my credentials or background. If credentials mattered, then those with the highest credentials would make the best decisions. Unfortunately, as we’ve witnessed for the past few months, those with the highest credentials have been wrong from week to week and from beginning to end. Their pronouncements make for good comedy but poor policy.

Our country and indeed the world are in this cataclysmic disaster because we mindlessly placed our faith and trust in authority figures. Don’t make the same mistake.

Stick with the data and facts. First, do no harm.

May God bless you. We’re going to need it.

P.S. I would be happy to discuss this matter further if desired.

J.B. Handley wrote a highly referenced article in early June titled LOCKDOWN LUNACY: The Thinking Person’s Guide. It’s lengthy, dense, and well worth the read! It supports everything I stated above and so much more. It’s a game changer.

COVID-19 and The New Stupid

More than three years ago, I published a blog titled Pro Vax Manifesto, a collection of 130 ridiculous things people believe about vaccines. It is, my no means, a comprehensive list.

Absurd beliefs about vaccines don’t just happen; vaccine zealots, profiteers, and sociopaths create them. They get together and strategize, create a paradigm, then they turn that paradigm over to marketing teams with billion-dollar budgets who create lies and propaganda who then foist all of it onto the public.

Before long, otherwise intelligent parents, government officials, medical professionals, and talking heads internalize, proclaim, and act on that paradigm. As a result of industry-sponsored deception, we line up our kids and repeatedly poison them throughout their early years and then teach them to do the same to their children.

The results are devastating and/or enriching, depending on the role you play in the racket.

Billions jabbed, billions injured, billions of dreams destroyed, billions made and socked away.

The fictional character Forrest Gump was not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he was man of great wisdom. Two of his most famous pronouncements were: “Stupid is as stupid does” and “*hit happens.” Some things happen all on their own, but other things happen as a direct result of our blind devotion to absurd orthodoxies. Mr. Gump might call that stupid.

Governments, people in authority, and industry have a long history of lying for power, control, and profit. Virtually everyone recognizes that fact. And yet, when it comes to the fabled profession of public health and their liability-free jabs, most people willingly turn off their brains, fall to their knees, and worship. Vaccinology is, to such people, their chosen religion. Doctors are priests, CDC scientists are prophets, their words are scripture, and vaccination is a magic and miraculous ordinance offering protection from evil, invisible enemies, and death.

And then bad *hit happens again and again in front of our eyes, yet most people refuse to see it.

Why? Because of our conditioning, our fear, and our absurd belief that the same people who lie about other pharmaceutical products would never do the same with vaccines.

We teach people how to treat us and our collective devotion to the religion of vaccinology teaches those on top that their rapacious business model works. They create the story, marketers sell it, we buy it, and they get what they want: power, control, and profit, and we get the illusion of safety, blind to the lies and destruction we see all around us.

As I wrote in my book JABBED, this business model operates on the following formula: Irrational fear of infectious disease + Irrational belief that vaccines safely prevent infectious disease = Vaccine compliance.

Even though zealots, profiteers, and sociopaths have multiplied their power, control, and profit in recent years by multiplying the vaccine schedule, they’ve run into a major problem: insufficient fear. In spite of their best and most ridiculous efforts, measles just doesn’t scare people enough. It would help if someone—anyone—in the USA would die from measles, but they just can’t get it to happen.

Without fear, the formula doesn’t work.

Since they couldn’t persuade people to be sufficiently afraid of measles, zealots, profiteers, and sociopaths needed a new trick, something really scary, something that actually killed people by the dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and if they got really lucky, by the millions or billions. The more the better because, well . . . the formula.

Enter SARS-Cov2 and COVID-19. New virus, new disease, new words, new propaganda, new lies, more fear, more power, more control, more profit, all with the promise of a vaccine jackpot: More than 7 billion jabs administered not once, but twice, or yearly, or whenever they command.

They knew it would work because it always works. They just needed to come up with doom and gloom models, and then call for draconian lockdowns, complete with a long list of ridiculous policies, rules, and punishments. They knew we would buy all of it—hook, line, and sinker—because, as a herd, we’re not much smarter than sheep.

How they must despise us!

And as much as I despise the criminals who are now in the act of perpetrating this global atrocity, I stand in awe at their ability to come as far as they’ve come, in spite of the fact that a calculator and a brief review of the literature quickly shines light on the magnitude of this ongoing crime.

The whole affair is both brilliant and stupid. So stupid, in fact, it might be appropriate to designate 2020 as the year of The New Stupid.

My hope and prayer is that enough people wake up from their fear-induced trance so that we can leave The New Stupid in 2020 and be done with it. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if by 2021 our vision could actually be 20/20?

May we realize once and for all the following facts:

The primary mission of the CDC and the profession of public health is to sell vaccines that are created and manufactured by some of the most powerful criminals who have ever walked the Earth.
When you buy vaccines, you increase their power over you and you also increase your chances of becoming a lifelong customer.
There is not a single ingredient in vaccines that makes you or your children healthy or healthier.
There are nearly 60 studies that demonstrate what every 6-year old knows: injecting poison into your body is stupid and—to one degree or another—it will make you sick and it just might kill you.
If you’re not buying pharmaceutical lies and products, then you are of no value to the sociopaths who profit from those lies and products.

They’re wrong, of course.

At your deepest level, you believe or aspire to the following:

You are the sovereign of your body, mind, and soul.
You are of are of infinite value.
You have the power, ability and will to see through smokescreens of propaganda and lies.
If you’re afraid, you’re afraid of real threats, not contrived ones, and your fear informs your decisions in a constructive way.
You protect your children from zealots, profiteers and sociopaths.
Your beliefs are founded upon facts and personal experience, not corporate propaganda nor by peer pressure or mob mentality.
You are not controlled by bullies or tyrants regardless of their position or ideology.
When you take something into your body, you do so with full and voluntary informed consent.
You connect with and support loving people who value you.
You cherish both freedom and life and if necessary, you will sacrifice your life, for life without freedom is not worth living.

Bill Gates and others don’t want you to believe any of these points. They want you to believe that we’re not going back to the way things were “until there’s a vaccine.”

They’re all wrong, of course.

We’re not going back at all.

We’re moving forward.

We’ve learned our lesson.

Bowing down, surrendering our liberty, and submitting to their tyrannical and nonsensical orders has created one of the largest catastrophes in human history, the consequences of which will be borne out for decades.

It’s time to cast away The New Stupid and return to the sure and eternal foundation of individual liberty and agency. It’s time to help others do the same according to our individual gifts and talents.

I help people free themselves from the tyrannical religion of vaccinology by exposing the absurd lies promoted by vaccine zealots, profiteers and sociopaths.

The world is now awash with pandemic-related lies that have resulted in absurd, nonsensical, ridiculous and dangerous policies, pronouncements and regulations. These, of course, hurt each of us individually and collectively.

If you feel so inspired, please share a few such rules, policies or experiences by commenting below. Doing so, will empower all of us by helping us see the truth.

Good-bye and good riddance to The New Stupid. Hello, and welcome back individual liberty, agency and truth.
