I'm grateful to Jim for sponsoring and sharing my GiveSendGo campaign on his blog. Jim was the person I ran to when the FBI left their calling card on my door — a terrifying experience.

It's Christmastime. I'm delighted to report that last week I was sentenced to three years’ probation for giving out vaccine cards without administering the shots — no jail time. This was good news because there were others convicted of similar crimes in the Eastern District of NY who were incarcerated for several months.

I initially pleaded not guilty. I admitted giving out the cards from the beginning, and my attorney was planning a civil disobedience / necessity defense. I'd been contacting and lining up experts who would testify for me and we planned to go to trial. After many months, and for a variety of reasons, my attorney and I decided it was wiser to accept a plea bargain. Had I gone to trial and lost, I would have faced significant jail time.

You were extremely generous — I received enough donations ($41,000+) to cover the fees of both of my attorneys. The ivermectin case is still not settled — I suspect that the NY State Office of Professional Discipline (OPD) was waiting to see what the outcome of the federal case was before they make a decision about my purported ivermectin misdeeds. Although it's just been a little over a week since I was sentenced, I've already heard from an OPD attorney regarding my nursing licenses: "Being convicted of a crime under federal law is considered professional misconduct under the Education Law." I will have to attend a hearing in the near future, and it's likely that I will lose my licenses to practice because of the "misconduct." I have an excellent attorney and I do have recourse, but retirement seems to be in the cards.

My colleagues and I made another county commissioner presentation, at the Franklin County Commission (WA state) meeting on Dec. 18, 2024. ...

I also have reported on the success of a separate effort/group in the state of Louisiana:

Last year Katherine Watt and I assisted a LA lawmaker Kathy Edmonds and several others in understanding the EUA countermeasures (kill box) laws and the harm of covid shots. As part of this effort, we prepared a healthcare educational letter: sashalatypova.substack.…

Several establishment presstitutes became very upset at this development and published hit pieces in local WA state newspapers, calling our group “utterly discredited”. I am not sure discredited by what, since not a single factual rebuttal to what we said was included. In the usual lazy fashion they level the accusations of “misinformation” and “malinformation” and “not understanding the emergency laws”. I think their problem is that our group understands science, medicine and applicable law too well, and they are terrified that we are making progress.

Switzerland’s contentious ban on facial coverings in public, commonly known as the “burqa ban,” will officially take effect on January 1, 2025. The announcement was made by the Federal Council in a statement cited by Reuters on Wednesday. Violators of the law could face fines of up to 1,000 Swiss francs (approximately Rs 96,280).

The measure, narrowly passed in a 2021 nationwide referendum, has faced strong criticism from Muslim organisations and rights advocates. It was championed by the same political group that led the 2009 ban on constructing new minarets in Switzerland.

Is there a spiritual war between good and evil? Celia Farber’s post regarding the designation of brain death for organ harvesting was thought provoking. This meme is true by all news accounts: the father spent some time in jail over it, but his son squeezing his hand three times after a prayer was proof that he was still alive and aware. The son did indeed recover afterwards and even was baptized with his father a few months later, which led to his Dad being sent back to jail over a judges inexplicable no contact order. Both sides assert that it was worth it.

Re: COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

Dear Secretary Becerra and Administrator Johnson:

We, the Attorneys General of Utah, Kansas, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas, write to express our serious concerns with how
individuals harmed by COVID-19 vaccines are being treated by the federal
government. We seek answers to questions about the administration of the
Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).
During the height of the pandemic, many Americans wanted “to do their part”
by participating in vaccine trials or getting vaccinated. The federal government gave
COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers more than $30 billion in taxpayer funds to develop
and sell COVID-19 vaccines,
1 and spent billions more promoting these products to the public.2 The federal
government both encouraged,3 and in many cases, mandated vaccination.4
But when some of these individuals were injured by the COVID-19 vaccine,
they found that the federal government favored manufacturers over their health. In
addition to providing manufacturers like Pfizer and Moderna billions of dollars,
5 the federal government also gave these companies effective blanket immunity for harms
caused by their products.6
The injured individuals, on the other hand, each experienced some form of
health complications that were diagnosed by credible physicians as resulting from a
Covid vaccination. Some of those injured were even seen by federal government
employed physicians and the harm from a vaccination was validated and
acknowledged by the federal government. The people for whom we advocate and for
whom we are concerned are not opportunists looking for deep pockets for phantom
injuries. These are honest people with verified injuries. They are our constituents of
all backgrounds and political affiliations. This is not just a bi-partisan issue, it is nonpartisan
in nature. Yet, in spite of credible diagnoses and real harm, these individuals
injured by COVID-19 vaccines have only a single form of recourse: to file a claim with the CICP.
As attorneys general, we are seriously concerned about the lack of
transparency and due process afforded by the CICP, as well as the substantial
roadblocks claimants face in obtaining relief. ...
