https://notthebee.com/article/this-mom-in-michigan-is-suing-her-local-school-board-for-reporting-her-to-the-feds-after-she-spoke-out-against-covid-policies

A Michigan mom is suing the Chippewa Valley School Board for violating her First Amendment rights. Sandra Hernden, with the help of the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation, is taking legal action after facing retaliation from members of the school board. Hernden spoke out against the district's COVID-19 policies, and district officials responded by reporting her to her employer and then to the Department of Justice.

Hernden is a police officer and mom of three boys. When the Chippewa Valley School District turned to remote instruction in spring 2020 in response to COVID-19, Hernden witnessed the toll it took on her children, particularly her son with special needs. Without the in-person assistance and individualized attention that he once had, his grades plummeted. He suffered socially, too. When the board decided the schools would stay virtual in fall 2020, she knew she had to fight for her son.

"For two years, I have been demoralized, humiliated, discredited and demeaned," said Sandra Hernden. "I can live with a lot of things and be called a lot of names, but none of this will stop me from fighting for my children. I'm bringing this case not just for my family, but for all the families like me who feel they have no voice."

This woman – who is a police officer and special needs mom – was persecuted because she disagreed with the school board's insane policies.

Could you imagine telling Americans 10 years ago that they'd be reported and investigated by the FBI for free speech at school boards?

And for voicing anger at policies that are hurting their children, no less??

A few weeks ago Liam Sturgess and I had the opportunity to talk with Pfizer whistleblower Brook Jackson and one of her attorneys about her lawsuit against Pfizer, which is potentially the largest lawsuit in history in dollar terms. There are a lot of recent updates on the suit, which you can follow at her Twitter account.

... Will The Federal Government Allow This Trial?
That's no small question. If the government has a plan, that plan will dictate how far this case goes. The government could have simply disallowed the case, but it was allowed to proceed.

Now we're at the point at which a judge is deciding whether to accept Pfizer's motion to dismiss the trial. ...

In theory it sounds great that lawsuits are the answer...

But in practice a lawsuit rarely works since a lot of times you need lots of money for the lawsuit to go anywhere

If you have a good case, lawyers will take it for a modest cut of the winnings, like 50%.

More like 99%.

The reality is that the government knows a lawsuit is expensive, and they use that to their advantage. They assume most people won't attempt to spent the time, much less money, to hold them accountable, and they are 100% right.

Now the DOJ openly targets lawyers who represent clients they don't like. Take a look at what they've done to the lawyers that represent Trump. There ain't a lawyer out there that is going to hold members of the government responsible given that.

BIGGEST CASE IN CANADA: Mainstream media ignores vaccine mandate court challenge.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ministers have been saying for months that they have been following the science and the advice of their experts on COVID-19. Explosive testimony in federal court says otherwise.

Court testimony that can now be accessed on the website of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms reveals that Canada’s top health expert did not recommend a vaccine requirement before boarding a bus, train or plane. Even worse, the human trial for the COVID-19 vaccine is now underway and millions of Canadians are part of the experiment.

It’s an astounding revelation, according to lawyer Keith Wilson, who is representing former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford’s lawsuit against the federal government for what they describe as the most far reaching breach of charter rights in Canadian history. It prevented six million people’s right to freedom of movement because of a ban against unvaccinated people from travelling on buses, trains and planes. This was not a city issue as Farmers Forum has spoken with many farmers across the province who oppose vaccine mandates.

In a Sept. 22 online interview with lawyer Viva Frei, Wilson walked through his cross-examination of government officials and was amazed at the media black-out on the progress of events.

Following court appearances including on Sept. 21, there were no cameras or interested reporters, Wilson said. “Zero news coverage. It’s like Premier Peckford doesn’t exist. It’s like this case doesn’t exist.”

The vaccine travel mandates affected six million Canadians, he said. “I have done far lesser cases many times where I have come out of the court house to a gaggle of reporters.”

He added that the federal government’s $600 million for mainstream media is having its affect. “The media is so extremely controlled right now by their desperation for money. They are in a death spiral. More and more people are tuning out. They see it as propaganda.”

Wilson said that he cross-examined Dr. Lisa Waddell, lead epidemiologist for the Public Health Agency of Canada, who told the court that Canada’s top health agency did not advise Transport Canada to require a vaccine mandate for public travel within Canada and, in fact, said that scientific evidence would not support a vaccine mandate.

Not only did she not recommend forced vaccination to travel but “said it would not be epidemiologically sound advice,” Wilson said. “ And here it became the hallmark policy of the Trudeau Liberals to restrict six million Canadians from travelling within their country and leaving their country.”

He added that after it was implemented, emails from government officials revealed that they then had to come up with a rationale for the decision.

Wilson also said that the federal government even decided not to allow exemptions, even if it meant parents could not fly to visit a dying son in a hospital with one day to live.

Viva Frei added one horrific case where a woman suffering from loneliness due to lockdowns opted for government-assisted suicide. Her family “couldn’t give her the companionship necessary to save her life but were allowed to be with her when the state was putting her to death,” he said.

The nonsensical rules tormented millions of Canadians at a time when we knew the vaccines were not working Wilson said. This pointed to a policy of division from a very unpopular prime minister as a political survival strategy, Wilson said. “Get Canadians fighting amongst themselves so that they don’t notice the failings and the incompetency on a gross scale of the Trudeau Liberals and their cabinet ministers.”

Wilson also recalled his cross-examination of Dr. Celia Lourenco, director general for Health Canada that approves vaccines. She argued that the vaccination approval process changed for the COVID-19 vaccines. Until COVID, all vaccines were approved following animal trials and two human trial phases. But for the COVID vaccine the human trials were skipped.

Dr. Lourenco confirmed under oath that the human trial is going on right now as data is being compiled with the general population and Canadians were not told of the risks, he said. “That was a big one for us to get her to confirm that this is a huge experiment that’s going on.”

Wilson’s team has almost 15,000 pages of evidence and on Sept. 21 the pile almost reached the height of the judge. About 12 federal government lawyers asked the court to dismiss the Peckford lawsuit because the vaccine mandates were suspended on June 20. But the government merely “suspended” the vaccine mandates, Wilson shot back, noting that the Minister of Health declared that, “We will not hesitate to bring it back.”

If the court dismisses the case, it will undermine confidence in government institutions, Wilson said. If we don’t have access to the courts for a peaceful resolution, “What options does that leave Canadians?”

I know, but it is a victory and when we say we will get Fauci and Birx and Walensky and Bourla and Bancel and Francis Collins into a courtroom, with proper legal hearings, you best believe it. We will punish them all and take their money and jail many. You just wait!

And no, we will not let Fauci claim he is over 80 and we are taking advantage. No age card here little one!

Fauci must be tried and hanged for what he has done.

Dr. Mary Bowden Files $25 Million Defamation Lawsuit Against Houston Hospital (Fuck yeah! Git 'em!)

Dr. Mary Bowden has kept over 4,000 patients out of the hospital, and no one who has received early treatment under her care has died. Houston Methodist Hospital has claimed that she “is spreading dangerous misinformation which is not based in science.”

In her legal complaint filed against the hospital, Bowden says the public controversy has fundamentally changed her life, making her fearful and self-conscious, and that a Houston private school declined to admit her son “because of the statements published by Methodist.”

Greetings, Babylon Bee readers. You may or may not be aware of the case of Novak v. City of Parma, Ohio. A quick rundown for the layperson: Mr. Anthony Novak was temporarily jailed for creating a parody Facebook page of his local police department. He has thus far been unsuccessful in suing for damages, as the courts have ruled the police have qualified immunity, and so is asking SCOTUS to review the case.

While the knockoff Babylon Bee site The Onion filed a petition in support of Mr. Novak, we reject Mr. Novak's claim that parody is protected free speech, as parody is dangerous to those with cultural and political power. And it can hurt people's feelings.

On October 28, 2022, we at The Babylon Bee filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court of the United States in this case to support the government, as nobody should be made fun of in this country.

Here is an overview of our unassailable legal argument:

Among other things, Gill said a vaccine was not needed against the virus, that most people had natural immunity to COVID and there was no scientific rationale for keeping people at home to short-circuit its spread.

But the defendants filed an anti-SLAPP motion, a legal manoeuvre designed to put a stop early on to lawsuits that curb discussion in the public interest.

Justice Stewart ruled in their favour, saying that if the suit went ahead “its chilling effects would have an impact well beyond the parties to this case,” deterring experts and the media from calling out potential misinformation. “Dr. Gill herself is the most obvious cause of damage to her reputation,” the judge added.

Woah, doctor in Canada who tried to protect her reputation gets forced to pay a million dollars Canadian. Not good.

She's entirely correct about the vaxx, immunity, and lockdowns.

California Workers Win $125,000 After Vaccine Discrimination Lawsuit

Five months after filing a lawsuit against the Goleta Water District in Santa Barbara, attorneys have secured a six-figure award in favor of five plaintiffs resulting from the utility’s restrictive COVID-19 employee vaccine mandate.

“This was fairly early on that they offered this judgment that the plaintiffs were the prevailing parties, which means they did not want to litigate this case clearly and go to discovery,” said Mariah Gondeiro, an Advocates for Faith & Freedom lawyer. “I believe that we can use it in other cases as a precedent.”

Advocates for Faith & Freedom, a nonprofit law firm, filed their lawsuit in June alleging that the mandate discriminated against their clients who have religious beliefs that prevented them from submitting to the injection.

The settlement resulted not only in Goleta Water District paying $125,000 to five plaintiffs, plus attorney’s fees, but also in agreeing to a judgment in which the plaintiffs prevailed.

“It’s not really surprising because the reality is we’re starting to see this across the country,” Gondeiro told The Epoch Times. “Government officials are being held accountable for their discriminatory policies and I am hopeful that we’re going to continue to see these types of decisions because what they did was wrong, and they hurt a lot of people’s lives.”

Two of the employees remain water district workers. Three have moved on.

“They didn’t want to have to pay for testing and the ones that have already left don’t want their jobs back,” Gondeiro said.

Because they requested and were granted religious exemptions, the five plaintiffs had to choose between unpaid leaves of absence or paying for bi-weekly COVID-19 tests on their own time.

“Biweekly tests cost up to $800 a month, which for government employees really eats into your paycheck,” she said.

The unvaccinated workers were also restricted from entering certain buildings and were required to wear an N95 face mask while vaccinated employees were not held to the same standard.

“They had no compelling reason to treat plaintiffs differently than their vaccinated colleagues, especially considering several of them already contracted COVID-19,” Gondeiro argued.

Causes of action included violations of the constitutional free exercise of religion and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). Each of the five plaintiffs will receive $25,000.

“The award is definitely way more than what they had to pay out of their pocket so it encompasses obviously the non-monetary aspect of damages,” Gondeiro added.

If an company or governmental agency told its employees they have a choice: submit an affidavit confirming they never will engage in homosexual activity, submit to a weekly AIDS test at employee expense, or go on unpaid leave, and the employees sued, do you think they would win and if so what do you think the damages would be?

Again, lawyers take all of it. They don't care about their clients. I can see you've never been part of a class action lawsuit.

Settlement $100,000,000.
Lawyer fees $25,000,000.
Class participant $75 and a coupon from the company that hurt them.

ONLY $125k...in a society that awards MILLIONS to some stupid bitch who got hot coffee spilled on her lap in the McDonald's drive thru?

Franchisee knowingly delayed replacing a faulty regulator in that and the several other McDs owned, a $1 part, she got major burns and needed skin grafts, and in the end made low 6 figures which barely covered operation & legal fees. Consumers have been under the expection of being able to eat food as it's provided since a 1600s case at Chesire Cheese or something near the Globe Theater in London. Similar case where a man knocked a bowl of soup on himself and lost the function of his ding dong despite his codpiece.

If you need skin grafts from coffee, its not an "owie, this pizza is a little too hot and gave me a 15 minute uncomfortable spot on the roof of my mouth"

Palo Alto father sues school district after son forced to wear face mask

PALO ALTO, Calif. - A.J. Gokcek’s son is entering his senior year at Palo Alto High, but a lawsuit filed earlier this month could overshadow progress toward his graduation.

"I have to protect my son’s right to an education. And also, his safety," he said.

Gokcek filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County Superior Court on July 6. The suit comes after his son was removed from a summer school history class at Gunn High School because he wasn't wearing a mask.

He claims his son, who he wishes to be referred to as "T.G." to protect his identity, has a speech and communication disability that is worsened when forced to wear a mask.

The Palo Alto Unified School District barred the 17-year-old from completing the two-and-a-half-week class. His father declined to let a school nurse evaluate T.G.

"Before they send me off or my son off to go see a nurse for some kind of evaluation or a doctor’s note, I would love to see the policy. For some strange reason they will not provide that to me," Gokcek said.

The school district's website said it follows state health department guidelines. Gokcek’s suit asked for an injunction so that his son could return to class. But the court ruled it was moot because, by the time it reached the judge, the class had ended. So Gokcek is amending his suit and plans to file another temporary injunction for the coming school year.

The PAUSD offices were closed on Friday. But Superintendent Doctor Don Austin sent a statement to KTVU that reads in part, "This suit is the first of many challenges school districts across the state should expect regarding masking and vaccinations…Students without medical exemptions will be required to wear a mask until those rules are changed."

"I’d like him to have an education in the classroom, just like the other children," Gokcek said.

For now, T.G. could view his senior year from the outside looking in, as his father and district settle differences fueled by a pandemic-instituted restriction.

Superintendent Doctor Don Austin says

"... Students without medical exemptions will be required to wear a mask until those rules are changed."

Asshole!

It's "Asshoe!", remember?

THEY (county health) STILL RECOMMEND KIDS GET BOOSTED AND MASK FOR SCHOOL!!!

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-vaccine-mandate-lawsuits-nike-washington-state-university/

This is the best approach in my opinion. But their explanation is a little garbled:

The lawsuit alleges Nike fired two of the claimants, Doug Kerkering and Hannah Thibodo, because they had a “perceived disability” — their immune systems did not sufficiently protect them from COVID-19.

The plaintiffs’ attorney Scott Street told The Defender:

“Since the COVID shots do not prevent infection or spread, we contend that Nike viewed the unvaccinated as having inferior immune systems with respect to COVID which prevents them from being able to work. That is a perceived disability protected from discrimination under federal law.”

To put it more clearly. as I have said before, any discrimination on the basis of not being vaccinated is illegal under the ADA because the health threat is only “perceived.” It’s not a question giving the right “accommodation”: the requirement was illegally discriminatory and should never have been put in place.

Doctors' Lawsuit Forces FDA to Retreat on Prescribing Ivermectin as a Covid-19 Treatment
“Congress recognized the importance of letting doctors be doctors and expressly prohibited the FDA from interfering with the practice of medicine."

During a hearing brought by three doctors over the Food and Drug Administration's interference in their professional discretion to prescribe the drug Ivermectin as treatment for Covid-19, a government lawyer claimed that the FDA's position was merely a "recommendation." ...

Physicians are claiming that the FDA interfered with their ability to prescribe Ivermectin as an "off-label" medication. Doctors have even been retaliated against for prescribing Ivermectin, as well as Hydroxychloroquine.

Ivermectin was first approved by the FDA in 1966. The drug is known to have anti-malarial properties and several medical researchers have attested to its usefulness in treating certain viral infections. ...

According to the lawsuit, Dr. Marik was even forced to resign because he wasn't permitted to prescribe Ivermectin due to the FDA’s statements. Dr. Mary Bowden said that pharmacists had refused to fill Ivermectin prescriptions for her patients because it is not FDA approved for the treatment of COVID-19 and those off-label prescriptions in a manner categorically different from other off-label prescriptions.

The FDA has lost all credibility and must be disbanded and its directors imprisoned for criminal violation of their mandate to protect public health.

Judge orders Kroger to pay workers unjustly fired for refusing to wear LGBT pride symbols

District Judge Lee Rodofsky of the Central Division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas has ordered supermarket chain Kroger to pay two former employees unjustly fired for refusing to wear aprons with the LGBT Pride rainbow on them.

The plaintiffs in the case, Brenda Lawson and Trudy Rickerd, worked in the grocery’s Conway, Arkansas location.

Rodofsky, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump in July 2019, ordered the supermarket chain to pay $180,000 to the two plaintiffs and “provide reasonable accommodations to employees who have sincere religious objections to Kroger’s dress code.” Rodofsky also ordered Kroger to create a religious accommodation policy and new employee training.

The magistrate noted in his ruling that both Rickerd and Lawson “have sincerely held religious beliefs that homosexuality is a sin and that they cannot support or promote it.”
