    Dallas Physician Heals COVID Patients Successfully with non-FDA Approved Hydroxychloroquine After Hospitals Sent them Home with no Treatment

    Dr. Ivette C. Lozano from Dallas, Texas recently addressed a crowd during a rally to express her frustration over successfully treating COVID patients. She claims that patients were coming to her because they were being turned away from hospital emergency rooms and other doctors, and were simply being told to go home and quarantine themselves "to save the rest of society" without getting any treatment. Dr. Lozano said she received no help from the American Medical Association, the Texas Medical Association, or the Dallas County Medical Association on how to treat COVID patients. She explains how she heard about Hydroxychloroquine from the President Trump press briefings, and how this drug had been used successfully to treat COVID-19 patients in other countries. It is a drug with a 60-year history of being safe, and it is inexpensive. So she started prescribing it to her patients, and they were feeling better and symptom-free within 24 hours. But the pharmacies apparently became aware of how much she was prescribing, and that's when the troubles began. Dr. Lozano has been practicing medicine for more than 29 years, and she said: "For some reason, those bureaucrats that are standing next to our President, that think that they know more about medicine than I do, are telling me I can't use it!"

      Bill Gates’ Control over Education in Poor Countries and the Corporate “Mainstream” Media

      As Americans increasingly look at Bill Gates and his global agenda, today we republish an article from September of 2016 by Adam Johnson of FAIR, Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting. FAIR describes themselves as "challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation." From their website: "We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled." Johnson's article looks at how Bill Gates sponsors and influences education in poor countries, and how he also influences the corporate media in the U.S., including Prime Time TV dramas.

        How to Beat Internet Censorship and Create Your Own Newsfeed

        Back in January of this year (2020) we reported about Event 201, a pandemic simulation which was hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This event took place about 6 weeks BEFORE the first cases of COVID-19 were reported in Wuhan China. As I have previously written, almost everything that was predicted at this pandemic simulation event has now occurred, except one: an Internet blackout. The most likely reason that an Internet blackout has not occurred yet, is because the American public, and indeed the world population, was very compliant and voluntarily locked themselves down in their own homes - something that has never before happened. With a compliant public, an Internet blackout would have done more harm than good, as the bandwidth on the Internet was pushed to its limits with everyone suddenly working from home via the Internet, and entertainment streaming services seeing a record high demand as people voluntarily complied and stayed home. Shutting off the Internet would have been counterproductive, as it would have made people angry and quite possibly led them out their homes back on to the streets to start protesting sooner. As a result, more and more people were able to research what was really going on, and find alternative accounts of the news different from what was being spoon fed to them through the corporate media and television networks. This has increased the corporate news organizations and their Big Tech alliances with companies such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google to increase their efforts to censor dissenting voices, such as what we publish here at Health Impact News. As a result, many of our articles are now censored and not allowed on Facebook, Twitter, Google (who owns YouTube) and Pinterest (Pinterest has banned us completely). In addition, emails from the domains of our news sites, like healthimpactnews.com, are also being suppressed, and many of the larger Big Tech "free" emails like hotmail.com and yahoo.com no longer allow us to email our newsletters or respond to inquiries. So how do you beat this Internet censorship?

          CBS News Faked a Busy Coronavirus Testing Line in Michigan

          A CBS News crew pulled medical professionals off the floor at the Cherry Medical Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to line up in their vehicles so a CBS film crew would have a long line for their COVID-19 coverage. “Our insider witnessed the whole thing and came to Project Veritas, because he knew we would protect him,” said James O’Keefe, the founder and CEO of Project Veritas. “The insider told us that medical personnel were taken away from treating patients and making the line longer for actual patients wait for the COVID-19 test,” he said. In an interview with the insider, O’Keefe asked the insider: “You're telling me you're a hundred percent certain that CBS News, CBS News Corporation--national, staged a fake event. They faked the news. They faked the reality and broadcasted that to all of their audience last Friday on “CBS This Morning.” The insider said to him: “A hundred percent. Absolutely.” Nick Ross, a corporate cleaning site supervisor at the Cherry Health facility, said he was there when the CBS News crew arrived and set up the video shoot at the COVID-19 testing site in the parking lot, "Apparently the news crew wanted more people in the line because they knew it was scheduled.” Maria Hernandez-Vaquez, a professional registration specialist, told the insider that Cherry Health Director of Quality and Informatics Glenda Walker helped to organize the facility’s workers into the COVID-19 testing line. “It's just annoying cause we could have done other stuff,” said one registered nurse there recorded with a hidden camera by a Project Veritas insider. The nurse said personnel at the medical center were given the heads-up to expect the CBS News crew. “We knew they were coming. We had no clue that we’re going to have to, like, do fake patients.” Another registered nurse, Alison Mauro, recorded on hidden camera, said she and other medical professionals working the drive-through testing site did not administer the actual swab swipe as CBS News was filming, but the actual patients were made to wait longer because of the manufactured line. “We pretended. There were a couple of real patients, which made it worse.”

            PlanDemic Movie Trailer Released Featuring Whistleblower Dr. Judy Mikovits Exposing Dr. Fauci’s Alleged Criminal Behavior

            Filmmaker Mikki Willis has released the first trailer on his upcoming film: PlanDemic. The trailer is already being censored on YouTube where some copies have already disappeared. In this first trailer, Mr. Willis interviews Dr. Judy Mikovits whom we have featured many times here on Health Impact News. Dr. Mikovits is a whistleblower who was arrested and held without a warrant, and then silenced for 5 years with a gag order. The man who directed the smear campaign to try and silence her was Dr. Anthony Fauci, currently on President Trump's Coronavirus Task Force. Dr. Mikovits claims other heads of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) colluded to silence her and suppress her research. Willis: "Apparently their attempts to silence you have failed. And I have to ask, how do you sit here with confidence to call out these great forces and not fear for your life?" Dr. Mikovits: "Because if we don't stop this now, we can not only forget our Republic and our freedom, but we can forget humanity, because we'll be killed by this agenda."

              Ground Zero in Wuhan: What Really Happened that Caused the World to go on Lock Down?

              If you are a regular reader of Health Impact News, by now you should be aware that the narrative being given to the public regarding COVID-19 just does not add up, and earlier today I published the article: Not a Single COVID-19 Test is FDA Approved – Do We Really Know Who has COVID-19 and Who Does Not? What really happened in Wuhan at the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 that started this whole pandemic? Was COVID-19 something that escaped a laboratory that was being developed as a weapon? Or was it something that developed out of Wuhan's live markets? Or was it something else, like the roll out of 5G in the city? Wuhan is one of the largest cities in China with a population of over 11 million people. It is also one China's most polluted cities. According to Jon Rappoport, a veteran journalist with over 38 years of experience and an expert on pandemics, none of these things are responsible for what is happening today. It was the fact that the Chinese Government was able to convince over 50 million people to stay home, voluntarily, with no protests, no demonstrations, no resistance. Previously, thousands of people had protested in Wuhan for lesser causes, such as the city's terrible pollution problem. But when 50 million people were convinced to stay home over a FEAR of something called a coronavirus, the World Health Organization and other global medical leaders cheered, and it became the blueprint for the rest of the world.

                Not a Single COVID-19 Test is FDA Approved – Do We Really Know Who has COVID-19 and Who Does Not?

                We are witnessing one of the most extraordinary events in human history, and certainly the most far-reaching and impactful event in all of our lifetimes, because of the effects of what we are being told is a single coronavirus. The rationale for the extraordinary events we are seeing today all come down to one dataset: the amount of people infected with this coronavirus, and the rate at which people are dying from it. This can only be justified by one simple fact: we know how to identify and test for this single virus. If this single fact cannot be proven, or if it is proven to be false, and we really do not have the means to accurately test for this virus, then everything that has transpired as a direct result of trusting the data that this test is based upon, has been built on a faulty foundation that does not exist. Does this sound like a conspiracy theory? Because if you dare to ask the question, that is what you will be accused of for daring to question the accuracy of the test, and therefore the accuracy of the data that this test allegedly proves. So let's start with the facts that most everyone agrees upon, or that can be easily verified.

                  Fauci’s Remdesivir Drug Fast-Tracked by FDA for Approval Exposed as a Fraud

                  Del Bigtree's Highwire program exposes how the new drug Remdesivir, developed by Anthony Fauci at the NIH, and fast-tracked for approval by the FDA, is a fraud, because clinical trials did not show it prevented deaths due to COVID-19, and may actually cause more deaths.

                    Nevada Nurse in NYC: COVID is NOT Killing People – They’re Being Murdered

                    Another nurse who has traveled to New York City to help with treating COVID-19 patients has gone public, describing the horrors she is seeing in how patients are being treated. Nicole Sirotek is reported to be from Nevada, and she expressed her frustrations in a Facebook Live broadcast, apparently Sunday, May 3rd. Her video and Facebook Page appear to have been removed by Facebook Monday morning, although the video has surfaced elsewhere. While trying to hold back her tears, she claims: “Nobody is listening. They don’t care what is happening to these people. They don’t. I’m literally coming here every day and watching them kill them.” She explains that everyone coming into her hospital, which she claims is "in the hood," is labeled as a COVID patient, but that they are not dying from COVID, but from poor medical care. She claims that every time she tries to advocate for her patients because they are receiving poor medical care, that they reassign the patient to someone else. Because her patients are minorities, Latinos at the first hospital she was at, and Blacks at her current assignment, she has even tried to reach out to advocacy groups who specialize in advocating for these minority groups, but no one seems to want to listen to her. 100% of her patients have died, and she makes it clear that although she is not a doctor, she is sure that these patients are not getting the proper treatment they deserve. She claims that she has even been assigned to care for patients that are already dead, because medical personnel are not even using disposable stethoscopes to verify that they are still alive. She actually compared what was going on in this hospital to Nazi Germany in the past: "This is going to be kind of an extreme example, but this is really the only thing I can come up with. It’s like if we were in Nazi Germany and they were like, taking the Jews to go put them in a gas chamber. I’m the one there saying like, 'Hey, this is not good, this is bad, this is wrong, we should not be doing this.' Then everyone tells me 'hang in there, you’re doing a great job, you can’t save everybody. You’re amazing, you’re a great nurse.'"

                      As U.S. Faces Meat Shortages, Pork Exports from the U.S. to China Increase

                      Last week (April, 2020), we published a report on the state of America's hospital system in the midst of the Coronavirus outbreak, and I wrote then: "The so-called Coronavirus pandemic crisis is very quickly taking a back seat to more serious crises in the U.S. right now, and perhaps none more critical than the closure of hospitals and emergency rooms, along with doctors and nurses being laid off, which is happening all across the country." The other crisis facing the U.S. right now that may soon dwarf the Coronavirus "crisis" is the nation's looming meat shortage. The nation now faces meat shortages, America's primary source of protein, as processing plants across the country have shut down or reduced operations. 80% of the U.S. meat processing plants are owned by only 4 companies. Some grocery stores have already begun to limit meat purchases in advance of the expected shortages. At recent White House Coronavirus Task Force Press briefings, the nation has heard President Trump boast about how he had brokered a trade deal with China back in January of 2020, that includes China buying $12.5 billion of American agricultural products. Trump has been highlighting this as a great deal for American farmers. So which agricultural products did China choose to increase in purchase and export to China after Trump negotiated the trade deal between the two countries back in January? Pork seems to be at the head of the list. China has had major pork supply problems since last year (2019), due to an outbreak of "African swine fever." Some estimates claim that about two-thirds of China’s swine herd has been lost to the disease. So being forced by President Trump into purchasing agricultural products as part of his trade deal, it is no surprise that pork is at the top of the list of exports China wanted. U.S. livestock reports for last week (last week of April, 2020) show a five-week high in U.S. pork exports to China. "The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported export sales of U.S. pork in the week ended April 23 at 50,300 tonnes, a three-week high. China was the top buyer, booking 35,138 tonnes, while actual pork shipments to China totaled 20,683 tonnes, the most in five weeks." As U.S. pork sales soar due to the growing export market to China, U.S. customers are having an increasingly difficult time finding pork in their grocery stores, which may soon be bare of any pork products at all. One has to wonder who got the better end of this trade deal with China?

                        California Doctor Censored on YouTube Not Backing Down

                        Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi are two doctors from Bakersfield, California that Health Impact News featured in an article last month, and their interview with the local media there went viral, and so YouTube banned them because they contradicted the World Health Organization's narrative on COVID-19. Dr. Erickson was interviewed by Del Bigtree of The Highwire and made it clear he is not backing down.

                          7 Billion Doses of COVID-19 Vaccine for World’s Population of 7 Billion – Was This the Plan All Along?

                          The COVID-19 pandemic has created an instant market for vaccine development. Around $1 billion of U.S. taxpayer funds have already been given to Big Pharma to develop the much coveted COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, a new class of vaccines that have never before been successfully developed. At least another $2 billion is being spent by the Bill Gates-founded Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). And this is all just for starters, as over 100 COVID-19 vaccines are currently in development by most of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. The CARES Act signed into law on Mar. 27, 2020 allocates $27 billion for COVID-19 vaccine development, just in the U.S. alone. And if that wasn't enough, earlier this week (May, 2020) President Trump seemingly gave a blank check to spend as much as possible to fast track a COVID-19 vaccine through "Operation Warp Speed," a coalition of scientists, government officials, military agencies, and private companies led by Alex Azar, the Health and Human Services Secretary, and Mark Esper, the Defense Secretary. Their goal: to deliver 300 million doses of coronavirus vaccine from November to December 2020 and another 300 million by January 2021. So just by starting to research a COVID-19 vaccine, the already lucrative pharmaceutical industry just became the all-time most profitable industry on the planet. As pharmaceutical companies compete with each other to get a COVID-19 vaccine to market, there was initial skepticism that an mRNA vaccine could be developed anytime soon. Projections were that it would take about 5 years, and even then only with a small chance of success. Now, as we saw earlier this week with the announcement of the new "Operation Warp Speed" project, the projections are to produce enough vaccines to be able to inject all 350 million citizens of the United States by the end of 2020. And on May 1st this week Moderna Therapeutics announced a partnership with Lonza manufacturing to start producing 1 billion COVID-19 vaccines a year. Moderna Therapeutics is partnering with Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), who also has close ties to Bill Gates. Bill Gates said in an interview this week that 7 billion vaccine doses are needed to end the COVID-19 pandemic, which is about the same number as the number of people living on the planet. Will the entire world's population just volunteer to get this vaccine, or are the drug companies counting on the fact that they will become mandatory? The world's largest manufacturer of vaccines, the Serum Institute of India, which produces 1.5 billion vaccine doses a year for an array of diseases, said it was not going to wait for approval of a COVID-19 vaccine, but would start manufacturing them immediately, starting with 40 million doses. They are currently working with the the Oxford Vaccine Group. It would seem that pharmaceutical companies manufacturing a COVID-19 vaccine are banking on the fact that the World Health Organization will recommend that they be mandatory. Will the U.S. comply?

                            Funeral Directors in COVID-19 Epicenter Doubt Legitimacy of Deaths Attributed to Pandemic

                            Project Veritas today released another video featuring conversations with funeral home directors and their staff throughout New York City questioning the number of deaths officially attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. In late April, a Project Veritas reporter spoke with Michael Lanza, the director of Staten Island’s Colonial Funeral Home. “To be honest with you, all of the death certificates are writing COVID on it, they’re writing COVID on all the death certificates,” Lanza said. Lanza said DeBlasio might see inflated COVID death tallies as a way to bring more money to New York City. “Whether they had a positive test or didn’t, so I think again this is my personal opinion, I think like the mayor and our city--they’re looking for federal funding and the more they put COVID on the death certificate the more they can ask from the federal funds.” The Staten Island funeral director said it did not add up to him. “I think it’s political, so, I’m going to turn around and say: ‘You know, like, not everybody that we have here that has COVID on the death certificate died of COVID.’ Can I prove that? No, but that is my suspicion.” Josephine DiMiceli, president of the DiMiceli and Sons, a Queens-based funeral service told a Project Veritas journalist that a Supreme Court justice got involved in one case of a non-COVID-19 death that was listed as a casualty of the pandemic. The sister of a deceased woman called DiMiceli and told her late sister suffered with Alzheimer’s Disease and was not treated for COVID-19, she said. “The sister refused to believe that her sister had COVID-19 and like I said, she was the one that said to me she says well my cousin is you know, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,” DiMiceli said. “We’re gonna get an autopsy,’ and I said do what you gotta do, you know and she did what she had to do and sure enough I called her and I said to her that the doctor signed the death certificate did the autopsy – no COVID-19.”

                              The War on Cash: Using COVID-19 to Make Sure the Rich Get Richer and Control the Monetary System?

                              There has been much written lately about how the COVID-19 "pandemic" is being used as an excuse to usher in some kind of national "Medical ID" that could be used as a tool to control our daily activities, and be used as a requirement to do almost everything in society, from buying goods to travel to receiving medical treatment and beyond. Such concerns are certainly legitimate given what we have seen so far in the "war against the invisible enemy" and the government's reaction to this "war." But opportunists taking advantage of the COVID-19 responses who would love to track and control most aspects of your personal life are not simply restricted to a medical ID card. I was recently in a store purchasing some grocery products, and the sign at the checkout said: "Due to the Coronavirus situation we are no longer accepting cash." This may seen like a minor inconvenience to most people, but Attorney James Rickards, an American lawyer, economist, and investment banker with 35 years of experience working in capital markets on Wall Street, has been warning about the "War on Cash" for years now. When the flow of cash is limited to digital money and the approval of banks, near total control of the population is much more easily accomplished.

                                Michigan Doctor Raided by FBI and Arrested for Treating COVID19 Patients with Vitamin C

                                As we have previously reported here at Health Impact News, doctors all across the world have seen great success in treating COVID-19 patients with high-dose intravenous Vitamin C therapy. When we first reported on doctors doing this in China just after the Wuhan outbreak, Facebook tagged us as "Fake News" and took away our ability to advertise and boost any of our articles. Since that time, we have reported on how many doctors and hospitals here in the U.S. have also successfully used the treatment. Now, a doctor in Michigan has actually had his clinic raided by the FBI and arrested being accused of "committing health care fraud and conspiracy to commit health care fraud" because he treated his patients with Vitamin C.

                                  Crisis in America: Hospitals Across the Country Begin to Close due to Lack of Patients – Nurses and Doctors being Laid Off

                                  The so-called Coronavirus pandemic "crisis" is very quickly taking a back seat to more serious crises in the U.S. right now, and perhaps none more critical than the closure of hospitals and emergency rooms, along with doctors and nurses being laid off, which is happening all across the country. During the early stages of the Coronavirus outbreak, the corporate-sponsored "mainstream" media flooded the airways with images of over-crowded hospitals, supposed corpses being carried out in body bags, and other gruesome details that brought fear to the public. Soon, however, citizens around the country began going to these hospitals to see first hand these horrible images, and they began to film and share on social media what they were seeing: hospitals and emergency rooms either empty or less crowded than usual. Fast forward to today, at the end of April, and now not even the corporate media can deny that hospitals are suffering due to a lack of patients, as most states have shut down "non-essential" medical services to concentrate on treating COVID-19 patients. Add to that the federal stimulus funds being directed to COVID-19 treatments, hospitals are obviously going to concentrate on COVID-19 treatments first, and as we have previously reported, many medical personnel are now coming forward to expose how pretty much every patient coming through the doors of hospitals are assumed to be COVID-19 patients whether they are tested or not. As a result, whether intended or not, many hospitals are suffering financially, facing closure, and beginning to lay off their medical staffs, because other than perhaps New York City, there just are not enough COVID-19 patients to keep everyone employed. Therefore, if you are suffering from something other than COVID-19 that needs emergency room or hospital services, such as cancer, hypertension, or any other non-respiratory illness, you risk not being able to get treatment. So what can you do? You have to pretty much lie and tell the doctors or nurses that you suspect you might be infected with COVID-19. That gives you a free ticket, all expenses paid, access to hospital services. Welcome to the new government-run healthcare system. What President Obama tried to do for 8 years with his "Obamacare" to have government take over healthcare, and was only partially successful, has now happened almost overnight because of the fear driven by the Coronavirus "pandemic."

                                    With Meat Shortages Looming Renewed Calls to Repeal Federal Ban on Sale of Meat from Custom Slaughterhouses

                                    In the last week, the media headlines have included concerns about possible meat shortages. Livestock farmers and ranchers across the country are verging on bankruptcy – while consumers are facing increasing prices and empty shelves in the groceries. Texas state officials are reportedly advising Texas ranchers how to depopulate and dispose of their beef, while at the same time beef is still being imported into the U.S. from other countries. With hundreds of millions of livestock and poultry in this country, why are we having these problems? COVID-19 is not the reason for the problems, it’s just the straw that is breaking the camel’s back in our deeply flawed food system. Four companies control processing of over 80% of the country’s beef, and four companies control processing of two-thirds of the country’s pork. The consolidation has led to most meat being processed at massive plants where as many as 400 cattle are slaughtered an hour. Workers in these facilities labor under very difficult and often unsafe conditions – and that’s before you add in the issue of a highly contagious disease. Yet the government regulations are designed for these massive, industrial-scale facilities, making it difficult or sometimes even impossible for small-scale facilities to comply. And federal law requires that “state inspected” facilities use the exact same USDA standards, leaving no flexibility for states to develop standards better suited to small operators. So we have a shortage of small-scale processors in this country, and small-scale livestock farmers have few places they can take their animals for processing. In some areas of the country, the nearest USDA or equivalent state facility may be several hours’ drive away or more. There are alternatives, known as “custom slaughterhouses,” which legally operate in many states. But the meat from them can only be provided back to – and consumed by the family of – the person who owned the animal when it entered the slaughterhouse. A consumer who is not able to pay for and store hundreds of pounds of meat in one order is unable to access the meat from a custom slaughterhouse. And a farmer who wants to sell his or her beef, lamb, goat, or pork to consumers at a local farmers’ market or other local outlet cannot use a custom slaughterhouse. The PRIME Act, H.R. 2859/ S.1620, addresses this problem and can help with both the short-term crisis and the long-term change we need in our food system. TAKE ACTION TO SUPPORT THIS IMPORTANT BILL.

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

                                      Medical personnel working on the front lines of the COVID-19 response are increasingly speaking out about what they are seeing and experiencing, which they claim is a completely different narrative from what the corporate-sponsored media is portraying. Many of them fear to reveal their identity or location, because there are claims that those who speak out are losing their jobs. This presents a dilemma for truth seekers, as in those situations one has to take what is being said at face-value, and make a judgment call as to whether or not what is being claimed is true or not, without being able to directly verify the reports. There are, however, some doctors who have identified themselves, and we have covered some of these doctors, and will review their claims again at the end of this article. They have reportedly received ridicule and attacks as a result of going public with their information. To add to the problem of trying to access and understand this information, social media tech giants Facebook and Google (via YouTube) have publicly stated that they are actively removing content that they deem "fake news" and that generally does not fit the narrative that the corporate media wants to spin. This past weekend, a woman who is identified as "Sara P." and claims to be a "licensed and certified" nurse, posted a video on Facebook where she claims that she is speaking out for a friend of hers who is a nurse that traveled to New York to work on the front lines of COVID-19 treatment, and was appalled by what she saw, and therefore wanted to expose what she was seeing to the rest of the country, but she feared identifying herself or the place where she was working. She encouraged everyone to share the video so that it would go "viral." Her Facebook account has since been apparently deleted, but there are still copies of her video on YouTube. We present one of those here. Another video that recently was published on YouTube is from a respiratory therapist. This man recorded his testimony while wearing a mask, and did not reveal his identity or location. He too talks about the problem with ventilators. However, the hospital where he works apparently saw his video and pressured him to take it down. Some copies remain online, and the copy we are publishing below has received over 173,000 views since April 19th.

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

                                        Earlier this month (April, 2020) we reported about the shortages of meats at supermarkets, and how this reflected not a shortage of meat in the U.S., but the failures of our supply chains when a nationwide crisis hits, such as the Coronavirus scare has done. We discussed how allowing local communities to directly access meat from farmers and ranchers in their own counties and states was the solution to food security issues in our nation's meat supplies. The publication Civil Eats has done an excellent job of reporting on these kinds of problems that are systemic within our nation's food supply chains. In another excellent investigative report on flour shortages that many are starting to see around the country, Amy Halloran has written an excellent article titled: "Flour Shortage? Amber Waves of Regional Grains to the Rescue: A grain and flour expert enthusiast says the local flour revolution is tastier, healthier, and has created more robust markets." Again, as we saw with the meat market, there is currently no shortage of flour in our nation. The issue is the frail supply chain. In yet another excellent article published by Civil Eats, Jodi Helmer wrote a report titled: "Restaurants Are Transforming into Grocery Stores to Survive the Pandemic: Selling sought-after eggs, flour, and toilet paper directly to consumers has provided an ‘emergency transfusion’ for restaurants." In our article about Wyoming's Food Freedom Act and the nation's meat supply issues, we mentioned how the closing of restaurants and other venues that serve food, such as sporting and entertainment events, was what was putting a strain on the meat market supplies. With the entire nation confined to their homes and unable to visit restaurants and other venues where food is served, this in turn created a huge demand for more food at grocery stores, while bulk food distributors were left with an excess of inventory that was not packaged properly for retail sales. Helmer's article documents how some restaurants have dealt with this situation while solving two problems at once: providing more business for their restaurant so they could stay in business, and providing much needed items to their consumers that they could not find in their local grocery stores, such as eggs, flour, and toilet paper. What is the answer to the food security issue facing our nation?

                                          California ER Physicians: Sheltering in Place Does More Harm than Good – Lowers Our Immune System

                                          Doctors Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi of Accelerated Urgent Care in Kern County, California refuse to wear masks outside. They say the longer people stay inside, the more their immune system drops. Local NBC News affiliate KGET in Bakersfield interviewed the two doctors this week (April 2020), and the video of the interview was posted on their Facebook Page where it has already been viewed by almost 3 million people at the time of this publication. Will Facebook remove it, since these doctors disagree with other health authorities? We are publishing the YouTube version in this article, although Google is also censoring views like this on YouTube, so it will be interesting to see if they censor something a corporate-sponsored "mainstream" media source has published at the local affiliate in Bakersfield, California. The doctors are reportedly the owners of the largest testing site in Kern County, Califorina. They've tested over 5000 people already for COVID-19. "We both have had extensive classes in microbiology and biochemistry and immunology. We've studied this for each of us 20 years. And we take everything that we're seeing today, and put that against that back drop and say: Does this make sense? Are we following the science? We keep hearing 'following the science.' What is the science essentially? It's the study of the natural world for experiment through observation. So that's what we're doing. We're studying the disease around us, or making observations. Typically you quarantine the sick. We've never seen where we quarantine the healthy, where you take those without disease, and without symptoms, and lock them in (their) home. If you have no symptoms, you should be able to return to work. As I shelter in place, my immune system drops. You keep me there for months, it drops more. The secondary effects, the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue - all of these are, in our opinion, significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu that we have every year."
