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.”

Translation: this bitch has prevented us from collecting 4,000 times 400K dollars by not allowing us to kill these people with profitable death protocols in situ.

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."

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.”

SCOCA Slams Santa Clara County's Persecution of Calvary Chapel
The County's petition to overturn a constitutional ruling was not even considered by California's Supreme Court.

Clarion Call
2 hr ago

On November 30, 2022, the Supreme Court of California denied the petition fashioned by Santa Clara County, which sought to protect the egregious constitutional violations committed by County CEO Jeffrey V. Smith, County Counsel James Robyzad Williams, and Health Officer Sara Helen Cody. In its petition, the County launched a last-ditch effort to convince the California Supreme Court to reverse the 6th District Court of Appeals’ ruling which rightly voided the County’s temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and $217,500 in contempt of court fines unlawfully imposed upon the leadership of Calvary Chapel San Jose.

In the District Court’s decision of August 15, 2022, the honorable U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman cited multiple SCOTUS decisions and made the facts clear that,

"The U.S. Supreme Court has clarified the law over the past two years and I intend to abide by the law as described….As the underlying orders which Calvary Chapel violated are void and unenforceable, we will annul the orders of contempt in their entirety and reverse the orders to pay monetary sanctions."

Per Pfizer’s own documents, submitted to the FDA, the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines cause COVID-19. Despite what experts claim, as of August 23, 2021, there is legal precedent and standing for those who have been injured by Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines to bring civil and criminal action against Pfizer for;

Improper labeling

Journalist Threatens to Sue ‘Adam Schiff Personally for Defamation’

Independent journalist Paul Sperry threatened to sue Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) personally for defamation over the Democrat congressman’s efforts to smear and censor him.

Sperry fired back after the “Twitter Files” released by Elon Musk showed Schiff trying to get Sperry banned from Twitter.

As many have noted, the move by Schiff, an elected official, is considered a violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Sperry wrote:

“Back from holiday vacation, I found an interesting email waiting for me in my inbox from Matt Taibbi, the independent journo Elon Musk tasked with reviewing and releasing internal Twitter documents about decisions to censor content and ban users from the platform.

“Paul,” Taibbi wrote, “just found a crazy email on Twitter — did you know Adam Schiff’s staff . . . asked Twitter to have you banned?”

“I was gobsmacked.

“This would explain why Twitter could never give me a reason for suspending my account, even though I had broken none of its rules.

“In his list of demands, Schiff tried to justify banning me by claiming I was promoting ‘false QAnon conspiracies,’ which I have never done and I challenge Schiff to produce evidence to back up his defamatory remarks.

“Schiff knew better,” Sperry notes.

“He knew ‘QAnon’ was a trigger for Twitter censors, who were suppressing QAnon posts.

“Yet even Twitter’s liberal gatekeepers appeared skeptical of Schiff’s claims: ‘If it is related to QAnon it should already be deamplified.’

“Schiff knows something about promoting false conspiracies.

“In 2017, he took to the microphone in a televised House Intelligence Committee hearing and read into the congressional record a screed of wild conspiracy theories about Trump and Russia from the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded dossier.

“He trumpeted them as if they were fact,” Sperry asserts.

“But they were false — every one of them — as Special Counsel John Durham has proven in court documents, expanding on what Justice Department watchdog Michael Horowitz found in his earlier report.

“We now know most of the preposterous rumors Schiff dramatically read into the public record came from a source who was invented by the dossier’s authors.

“In his hyping of the dossier, Schiff smeared and defamed not only Trump but also Carter Page, a low-level Trump campaign adviser, whom Schiff falsely painted as a Russian agent.

“The next year, Schiff would be caught lying about the so-called Nunes Memo exposing FBI abuse of the FISA wiretap process to spy on Page.

“Schiff claimed then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes misled the public when he said the FBI heavily relied on the debunked dossier to swear out the warrants.

“In his own memo, Schiff, as ranking member, insisted the FBI’s warrants were based on other evidence and were above-board.

Sperry added: “We are exploring all legal options, including suing Adam Schiff personally for defamation.”

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley also weighed in on the case, saying:

“We now know Schiff was actively seeking to censor specific critics on social media.

“These likely were viewed as more than ‘requests’ since Schiff was sending public letters threatening possible legislative action against these same companies.

“He wanted his critics silenced on social media.

“After all, criticizing his investigations or staff must, by definition, be misinformation — right?

“Not only does it show how dishonest some politicians have been in denying censorship while secretly demanding it, it also shows the insatiable appetite created by censorship. ...

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/will-universities-ever-admit-they-were-wrong-about-covid-policy

Academia will never account for its misguided COVID policies, and it will never back out of its commitment to consensus explanations or opportunities. Indeed, these people will help accelerate the entire COVID complex. COVID is a new social engineering program, and universities will make biosecurity, including molecular engineering and tracking technology, into a permanent research activity that is worth billions per year in funding and commercialization. The link connecting business, government, and higher education has never been stronger, while China-style social credit scoring, based in part on medical and ideological compliance, is considered by the current White House administration a necessary part of the political agenda.

For universities to admit that they were wrong would not only undermine their authority and risk their research funding, but also, most of all, put their senior administration in legal jeopardy. University directors, trustees, regents, and other governance bodies are keen to avoid liability, and university legal and communications departments are working overtime to shield their institutions from blowback, including vicarious liability.

Plaintiff litigation, including class action, appears to be gaining momentum, as the evidence necessary to make durable causes of action against university administration is coalescing from widespread sources (serious health complications due to vaccines, for example). Legal theories are being formed to seek damages that could easily reach in the billions of dollars. Some universities could face bankruptcy.

COVID-related damages may be the next large-scale, long-term litigation project that rivals tobacco and asbestos.

Aformer Virginia Tech soccer player who accused her coach of benching her for expressing political views at a game will receive $100,000 from a settlement of her lawsuit.

The money will go to Kiersten Hening as part of an agreement to dismiss a federal lawsuit in which she claimed she was punished for exercising her First Amendment rights, according to her attorney, Cameron Norris of Arlington.

Norris said the terms of the settlement included no admission of wrongdoing by either his client or Charles “Chugger” Adair, head coach of the women’s soccer team.

Hening had claimed that she lost her starting position after Adair became angry when she refused to kneel during a unity ceremony at the beginning of a 2020 game. The event was held, in part, to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement, after the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers sparked a national outcry.
