Paxton Launches Investigation into Gain-of-Function Research and Misrepresentations by Covid-19 Vaccine Manufacturers
The Constitution clearly states powers not granted in it's original writing are forbidden to the feds.
"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void" leaves lots to interpretation. For example, a lib could argue that any restrictions on abortion are "repugnant to the Constitution."
How? Abortion isn't in the Constitution. It's not even mentioned.
The death penalty is for committing a crime. You aren't seriously comparing being born with crime right?
Bishop, California – May 11, 2023. With the help of retired U.S. Federal Judge Stephen G. Larson, Bishop Unified School District (BUSD) and a group of Parents who filed claims for damages for violation of their children’s civil rights finalized a settlement on April 27, 2023. Not only is the school district required to pay $400,000 because of the harm suffered by the children, BUSD must also provide counseling and tutoring for the students, and training for all BUSD faculty and staff on “public health, response to public health emergencies, informed consent, and bullying/harassment/retaliation issues.”
Armed with vital information on Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and informed consent laws from Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF) and its founder, Leslie Manookian, Bishop parents and residents began expressing concerns about BUSD’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic at its August 2021 school board meeting. They urged BUSD to follow Title 21 U.S.C., the federal law for the use of EUA products, such as COVID-19 masks, testing, and vaccines. This law requires voluntary informed consent and the option to accept or refuse EUA products. The Parents also sought protection for students’ civil liberties and pleaded with board members to consider the negative outcomes of potentially punitive enforcement of what was merely state health guidance. BUSD instead implemented a medically nonsensical policy of handling school-based exposures, discriminatory COVID-19 testing based on vaccination status, and illegally excluding students from extracurriculars and sports.
“I was absolutely shocked when my daughter came home from middle school and reported how a staff member made her raise her hand in front of the whole class when asked about her vaccination status, and then she was escorted outside to be tested for COVID against her will – and without parental consent! My shock turned to anger when I saw how sad, embarrassed and violated she was by this incident. The very people entrusted with my daughter’s wellbeing and education were the ones causing her harm!” said Parent Ron Gladding.
BUSD ignored federal informed consent laws and committed many civil rights violations, including discrimination, segregation, bullying, harassment, retaliation and denial of a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). At one school, many healthy students were forced to remain outside in cold winter weather because they did not consent to wearing masks. Some unmasked students were segregated outside of classrooms while other children, also not wearing masks, were allowed to fully participate in normal classroom activities depending on the teacher. Some teachers even took steps to humiliate those kids they labeled as “protestors.” Healthy children were forced into independent study which is voluntary by statute. Students were denied schoolwork, notes, tests, and academic help from teachers and suffered significant learning loss, and were harmed emotionally. One student with disabilities was not allowed to remain in the classroom and was denied access to their Individualized Education Program (IEP) in violation of FAPE.
“My daughter was on the field for practice and her coach told her to put on a face mask even though there was no outdoor masking requirement. When she declined, she was told to keep her distance and stay away from the team or leave. She was made to stand alone by herself. She was completely embarrassed, but she stood up for herself. This humiliation went on for days.” Parent Abby Veenker said.
“This should have never happened. Had BUSD listened to parents’ requests and respected everyone’s right to accept OR refuse EUA products as required by law, our children would not have been harmed.” Parent Todd Thornburg said.
Searching for a way to hold BUSD accountable for what was happening to their kids, a parent found one of the many legal rights webinars presented by Tracy L. Henderson, Esq., founder of California Parents Union (CPU) aimed at empowering parents, grandparents and educators. After watching CPU’s webinar on how to file tort claims against the school district, the Parents marched down the path of filing claims. In California, filing a tort claim, or damage claim form you obtain from your school district, is the first step required for an injured party to receive compensation from the government for damages or personal injury. Unsurprisingly, BUSD rejected the claims and referred the matter to its liability coverage provider, Self-Insured Schools of California (SISC).
“This is an important victory for all of the children in California who were emotionally and physically traumatized for their parents’ decision to decline to mask, test or vaccinate their children with the experimental COVID injections. Many parents and educators, who knew what was happening was wrong, stood up. Some succeeded in stopping the harm and others did not. Now, all parents, grandparents and educators are vindicated.” Tracy L. Henderson, Esq., California Parents Union Founder, said.
Helena Sunny Wise, Esq., counsel for Freedom To Choose USA generously offered her services and legal expertise to the Parents when she heard of their battle with BUSD, and efforts to settle the claims began in May 2022. The Parents and Ms. Wise repeatedly presented the relevant facts, law, and California Education Code to SISC. They were relentless and obtained copies of “smoking gun” emails between BUSD faculty and staff which corroborated the claims of civil rights violations. SISC was unresponsive during the process and ultimately, Ms. Wise had to request mediation so that a resolution could be reached. SISC hired Judge Larson to mediate the dispute and a meeting took place in January of 2023. Shortly thereafter, Judge Larson proposed a settlement, both parties accepted, and the matter was concluded. BUSD must pay $400,000 and the district has twelve months to implement the mandatory training for its employees.
“Although retired Federal Judge Larson was told by SISC that nothing had happened except for a few days out of the entire school year when a mask protest took place, persistence and the importance of telling the truth proved otherwise. These are not irrational parents as claimed by SISC. The damages began in August of 2021 and continued into the following school year.” Helena S. Wise, Esq., legal counsel for the Parents, said.
“The training required by Judge Larson should be implemented by every school district in California and across the nation as civil rights violations were not limited to BUSD. All Americans should be educated about informed consent laws so children’s and parents’ rights are never trampled again. HFDF and CPU are honored to have been asked by BUSD parents to conduct community trainings on these issues and plans are underway.” Leslie Manookian, Health Freedom Defense Fund Founder, said.
Helena S. Wise, Esq. graduated from Burroughs High School in Ridgecrest, California. Thereafter, she attended UCLA and Loyola Law School. Ms. Wise is legal counsel for Freedom To Choose USA (www.freedomtochooseusa.com), as well as Firefighters 4 Freedom (www.firefightersforfreedom.org), and has in the past represented employees and their unions, including at one point the United Teachers of Los Angeles.

Breaking: Family of 24-Year-Old Who Died From COVID Vaccine Sues DOD in ‘Groundbreaking Case’
The family of a 24-year-old man who died from complications of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis alleges the U.S. Department of Defense engaged in “willful misconduct” when it claimed Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine authorized for emergency use was “safe and effective.”
The family of a 24-year-old man who died from complications of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis today filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), which oversaw the development and distribution of the drug under Operation Warp Speed.
Ray Flores, the attorney representing the estate of George Watts Jr. filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the DOD and Lloyd Austin III in his official capacity as defense secretary.
The lawsuit alleges the DOD engaged in “willful misconduct” by continuing to exclusively allow distribution of the stockpiled version of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine that had been authorized for emergency use even after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full approval to a different vaccine, Comirnaty.
According to the complaint, the DOD “capitalized on a quintessential ‘bait and switch’ fraud,” using the fact that Comirnaty was FDA-approved to bolster its claims that the vaccine authorized for emergency use was “safe and effective,” in a move that intentionally misled millions of Americans.
The DOD did this despite being fully aware that drugs granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) cannot legally be marketed as “safe and effective” because the FDA standard for EUA is only that drugs “may be effective.”
That means the DOD intentionally, without justification and with disregard for the risks, misrepresented an experimental vaccine as “safe and effective” when it could not legally use that terminology, the lawsuit states.
As a result, the lawsuit alleges, George Watts Jr. was misled into taking the investigational vaccine and he died as a result. ...
Despite experiencing side effects from the first dose, Watts understood the vaccine to be “safe and effective,” so he took a second dose at the same location on Sept. 17, 2021.
Following the second dose, Watts experienced more severe side effects, including numbness in his extremities, difficulty grasping and holding objects, a sinus infection, cough and sensitivity to light. He visited the ER at the Guthrie hospital on Oct. 12, 2021, also complaining of a lump on the left side of his neck.
The hospital diagnosed him with sinusitis and prescribed an antibiotic. Watts returned to the ER on October 19, 2021, concerned that he was not improving.
After that, his health continued to decline.
On Oct. 27, 2021, at home with his mother, Watts began coughing up blood and then became unresponsive. His mother called 911 and administered CPR.
Watts was taken to the ER where he was found to be in cardiac arrest and subsequently died. He had no previous medical history that could explain his sudden death. Watts also tested negative for COVID-19 in a post-mortem test. ...

So happy for volleyball player and friend, Blake Allen. For feeling uneasy undressing next to a boy in her locker room, she was suspended from school and her dad lost his job. They told her she would only be let back in if she publicly apologized for her feelings of discomfort.

The Emergency Use Authorization does not give immunity to pharmaceutical companies for making false claims or wrongfully advertising their products. The email notice of a product promotional program from Moderna caught my attention because it violated multiple laws and codes of conduct with this program advertisement sent to physicians by e-mail.

Software VP Fired For Using 'Assigned By God' As Preferred Pronoun Sues Employer
A software engineer fired for putting “Assigned By God” as the preferred pronoun on his employee profile has filed a civil rights lawsuit against his company.
Chard Scharf was fired by the software company Bitwarden, an online storage service for sensitive information. Scharf served as Vice President of Software Engineering at the Jacksonville, Florida, location.
The lawsuit alleges that Bitwarden violated Scharf’s Title VII rights against religious discrimination by allowing other employees to post preferred pronouns on their employee profiles, but prohibiting Scharf from using his preferred pronoun based on his religious beliefs.
“Had Chad set aside his religious beliefs and acquiesced to Bitwarden’s promotion of gender ideology, he would not have been fired,” Scharf’s attorney Jennifer Vasquez told The Epoch Times, “which means his religious beliefs were the cause of his termination.” Vasquez is with the Florida law firm Campbell, Trohn, Tamayo & Aranda.
A U.S. District Court jury in Camden, New Jersey, awarded $25.6 million to a white former Starbucks manager who claimed the company engaged in reverse discrimination when it fired her amid protests over the arrests of two Black customers.
Jurors heard Shannon Phillips’ claims that she was fired because the company needed a scapegoat as it faced a public relations crisis over the racially charged incident.
Starbucks came under heavy criticism after a manager at a Philadelphia location called police to report that the two men were sitting down at the cafe without ordering anything.
Following a six-day trial, the jury awarded $300,000 in compensatory damages and $12.5 million in punitive damages on Phillips’ federal civil rights claim and another $300,000 in compensatory and $12.5 million in punitives for violations of New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination.
Pharmaceuticals producer BioNTech is facing compensation claims in Germany after two law firms claimed clients suffered lasting health problems as a result of the company’s coronavirus jab.

A woman is seeking €150,000 in damages after suffering from heart arrhythmia and brain fog following her vaccination.
A hospital and doctors in California are facing a new lawsuit for removing the breasts of a 13-year-old girl after she claimed she was a boy.
The defendants carried out “ideological and profit-driven medical abuse” when they prescribed her puberty blockers and hormones and, later, performed a double mastectomy, Charles LiMandri, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiff, Layla Jane, said in a statement.
Jane, now 18, was influenced by people online when she was just 11 and told her parents that she was a boy, prompting them to ask for guidance from doctors.
While three doctors said Jane was too young for cross-sex hormones, she was eventually referred to several other doctors who prescribed her puberty blockers and hormones. Within six months, they removed her breasts.
The hormones and puberty blockers were given based on a single, 75-minute session with Susanne Watson, a psychologist, according to the suit. Dr. Winnie Tong, a plastic surgeon, concluded after a 30-minute session that Jane could have her breasts removed.
How much money did they get to mutilate that girl?
Like the parents aren't to blame as well.
💉 The Epoch Times ran an exclusive on the 23rd headlined, “Over 300 [Canadian Armed Forces] Members Launch $500 Million Lawsuit Against Military for COVID Vaccine Mandates.”
More signs of life in Canada! On June 21st, 330 active or former members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) who allege they were harmed by jab mandates have filed a class-action lawsuit against high-ranking members of the Canadian military, seeking $500 million in damages.
The statement of claim from the service members’ complaint explained:
The CAF shirked its own purpose and rushed an untested product onto its members, mislabeled this experimental gene therapy a ‘vaccine,’ knowingly made false statements of safety and efficacy, and facilitated its mandate with no option to refuse except for mandatory permanent removal from service.
Alberta-based lawyer Catherine Christensen of Valour Law, which specializes in military law, filed the class-action lawsuit on behalf of the CAF members. She said the lawsuit amounts to approximately $1,000,000 for each of the plaintiffs, plus “extensive other damages; Essentially, a lawsuit for about $500,000,000.”
As far as I can tell, with my limited knowledge of Canadian military law, the complaint appears to be well and professionally drafted. Let’s see what the Canadian federal court will do with it. But it may have some legs. On June 15th, a Canadian independent military tribunal found that the military mandate violated the charter rights of service members who refused the jabs.
In particular, the tribunal concluded the vaccine policy was “arbitrary” and “overly broad.” Its report stated, “No room was left for consideration of any other factors, such as the member’s representations or the member’s service record. This process was fundamentally unfair towards the members.”
The tribunal’s findings are advisory in nature and non-binding, but are considered persuasive.
This tribunal’s recommendation might be the very first successful official proceeding with a favorable result against mandates. Presumably Ms. Christenson’s new lawsuit will use the tribunal’s findings to add weight to the lawsuit’s claims.
Progress.
The parents were told that if they do not do the surgery, their kid would likely commit suicide. They had faith in the doctors and were fearful for their child. Remember, a whole team of medical pros worked to convince the parents. I doubt it was a case of wanting to brag about having a transitioned kid.
Scott, myself, and Steve Kirsch, President of the Vaccine Safety Research Council, are formally complaining that the DoEd NACIQI has failed to conduct proper past pandemic reviews of the Council on Education of Public Health ("CEPH") which has resulted in serious conflicts of interest by graduates of the schools its accredits in the promotion of vaccines without proper evaluation standards because of monetary incentives and research grants provided by the US government and Big Pharma to the schools of public health. We have requested a public hearing and denial of the renewal application for accreditation authority of CEPH because it has failed to adopt proper criteria to accredit the schools, particularly they neglected to teach that conflicts of interest must be eliminated. Promotion of COVID-19 vaccines has been influenced by the favor of acceptance of bonuses, bribes, grants, and employment, and as a result, has caused death and injury to patients as a result of CEPH failure to properly enforce public health education standards.”
You can't just blame the government and profit driven corporations.
Houston Doctor Files Federal Lawsuit Against FDA Over Ivermectin Statements
Houston’s Dr. Mary Talley Bowden and two other doctors say the FDA is illegally interfering with their ability to practice medicine.
HOLLY HANSEN
JUNE 2, 2022
A group of doctors has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over the FDA’s attempts to block the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19.
Filed in the U.S. Southern District of Texas in Galveston, the complaint notes that the FDA has approved ivermectin for human use since 1996 for a multitude of diseases. But after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency began publishing documents and social media posts to give the impression that the anti-viral drug was dangerous for human consumption.
The plaintiffs, Drs. Mary Talley Bowden, Paul E. Marik, and Robert L. Apter, argue the FDA acted outside of its authority and illegally interfered in their ability to practice medicine by publicly directing health professionals and patients to not use ivermectin.
Bowden, a Houston-area Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist, asserted during a virtual press conference Wednesday that she had kept 3,900 COVID patients out of the hospital by using ivermectin and other medications, but that FDA statements interfered with her work.
“The FDA smear campaign against ivermectin is a daily hurdle I must overcome,” Bowden said. “Still two and a half years into this, this is still a hurdle. Pharmacists won’t dispense it, insurance companies won’t pay for it, and I have patients who want reassurance that it is safe to take. I tell them it’s actually the safest medication I’ve ever prescribed.”
FDA publications and actions cited by plaintiffs include a 2021 social media post with pictures of a horse captioned “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” and a link to an agency article entitled, “Why You Should Not Take Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19.” According to the plaintiffs, the original article stated the FDA’s official position against using ivermectin without acknowledging that doctors could legally prescribe the drug.
The complaint cites U.S. code stating the FDA “may not interfere with the authority of a health care provider to prescribe or administer any legally marked device to a patient for any condition or disease within a legitimate health care practitioner-patient relationship.”
Marik, an internist and critical care doctor certified by boards in the U.S., Britain, Canada, and South Africa, told reporters that ivermectin is a highly effective drug for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and one of the “safest [drugs] on this planet.”
Saying there were more deaths associated with the use of Tylenol than ivermectin, Marik said the FDA’s “illegal” attempts to block the use of ivermectin could be responsible for between 400,000 and 600,000 COVID deaths. He added that there have been “a thousand times more deaths” related to COVID-19 vaccinations over the past year and a half than ivermectin-related deaths over the last 25 years. ...
“The FDA’s illegal pressuring of doctors to not prescribe, and the pharmacists to not fill prescriptions of ivermectin for COVID-19 is a direct cause of the threats to my medical license,” Apter told reporters. “I am being investigated by three state medical boards, each threatening my medical license based on complaints from pharmacists that I have prescribed ivermectin for COVID-19.”
“In all these cases the patients did very well.”
Apter said in each investigation, the pharmacists cited FDA statements and publications on ivermectin use for COVID-19.
Plaintiffs are asking the federal courts to declare the FDA actions or opinions regarding off-label use of ivermectin unlawful and to enjoin the agencies from further interference.

Now that California is getting ready to pass a law CPS'ing kids from parents who won't affirm Gender Claims... I think Washington State already has it in law.

Corporations in particular are afraid of lawsuits because they have a lot of money. Sue them first.
But it's also useful to sue the government when they are violating our rights.
