We’ll continue discussing the constitutionality of legislative compromises. Last week, we started with matters concerning our God-given liberties. This week: legislative compromises concerning government power – even in times of emergency. When there’s an unknown threat, should the government be given additional powers to address the emergency?
Listen as Katherine Henry talks on the WMPL Hancock Radio Freedom Fridays show! Katherine & host Kris Kyro discuss the ways people can get involved in restoring freedom. Whether it is attending a local government meeting or writing legislators, every effort is valuable!

An Update Regarding Coronavirus
Dr. Martin Dubravec
January 5, 2023
Fact:
COVID-19 cases in Michigan continue to be vastly lower this year than their peak in January 2022.
Source:
https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/stats
Comment:
Continued lower rates of COVID-19 continued to other peaks is good news. Additionally, the severity of the COVID-19 infections in almost all patients is like other Coronaviruses we have in the American population, i.e., a common cold.
Fact:
China has recently reported a significant rise in reported COVID-19 cases including illness and death.
Source:
Comment/Opinion:
China has reported a significant increase in COVID-19 cases. Whether this represents a possible new COVID variant or whole new manufactured COVID virus from a lab remains to be seen.
It is clear that COVID-19 was developed in a laboratory. Various analyses of the viral genetic imprint (viral RNA) shows a variety of genes that are not found in viruses let alone coronaviruses. One gene includes 28 base pairs of a gene thought to cause cytokine storm. This gene comes from a bacteria, not a virus, and was discovered in 1969. It appears that this was inserted into the COVID-19 virus.
It is impossible to get accurate information from China with regard to their cases of COVID-19. The communist government has a long track record of outright misinformation and lying to the world public with regard to COVID-19. Various theories are abundant as to why there is a possible significant increase in the rise of COVID in China. China had draconian lockdown measures and they suddenly lifted them recently. Perhaps people are allowed now to go into public and spread the virus more rapidly. However, we know from an abundance of data that lockdowns do not stop the spread of viruses such as COVID-19. Another possibility is that this is a new variant as was discussed above. Another possibility is that misinformation is being thrown out to the Chinese public as part of a political power struggle within China. Some have theorized that there is significant leadership struggle in China as the current leader of China tries to become emperor for life.
Another cause for the possible increase in COVID cases in China is variants from other parts of the world now coming into China. Some Chinese officials have blamed outside variants for the rise of COVID cases in China.
Another possibility is like other countries where there are significant cases of non-life threatening COVID-19, China is a highly vaccinated country. There are now increasing amounts of research pointing to the distinct possibility that COVID vaccination actually increases the risk of viral transmission and suppression of immune system activity. Could the rise in upper respiratory infections in China represent a pandemic of the COVID-vaccinated? This office will continue to monitor this situation.
Fact:
Americans are becoming increasingly suspicious and concerned about the safety of COVID-19 vaccination. In a recent Rasmussen poll, the following was noted:
Source:
Comment/Opinion:
It is increasingly becoming evident that Americans are becoming very skeptical with regard to the safety of COVID-19 vaccinations. Informed consent is necessary in order for people to competently receive a medical therapy. All patients who receive any vaccinations should have adequate informed consent. No patient should be coerced or forced to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.
Fact:
We are seeing significant upper respiratory and lower respiratory tract illnesses in our community. This includes sinusitis, sore throats, bronchitis, and some pneumonia. Significantly fewer patients who are ill with upper respiratory infection are reporting positive home COVID tests to our office. Various theories abound as to why this could be happening.
Source:
Our office
Comment/Opinion:
We are seeing significant amounts of sinus disease, sore throats, and bronchitis among our patients. This has been going on for approximately the past six weeks. This is not unusual for this time of year with regard to our patient population although it seems as if we might be seeing an increase in number. This increased activity could be due to a number of factors. One factor that concerns some researchers is that since the majority of the population has received at least one COVID vaccine, these vaccines could actually be harmful to the immune system and therefore increase the risk of infection among patients who have been vaccinated. Furthermore, these patients are the sources of infecting others. Another possibility is that we are simply seeing more activity as patients, at least in our area, seem to have resolved much of the fear and isolation that they had over the past two years. This can lead to increased exposure to infectious illnesses and patients will therefore have more exposure to influenza, Strep, and other viruses. Fortunately, our patients are not becoming critically ill as they have with earlier versions of COVID-19.
Many patients are stating that they have COVID-19 symptoms but are not having positive COVID home tests. This may be due to the home tests not being very accurate in picking up milder cases of COVID-19. The home COVID tests rely on picking up proteins that are produced by the virus. The newer variants of COVID-19 have lower viral loads and are not as active. Therefore, a patient with COVID-19 will not have the same amount of virus in them or viral proteins in them. Perhaps the home COVID tests are not picking up this lower level COVID infection. We have seen many patients who seem to have fairly classic COVID symptoms but without a positive COVID test. Fortunately, these patients have milder disease although they still can have flu-like symptoms for two to three days.
Fact:
More studies are coming out with the concerns that COVID vaccination could suppress the immune system. A recent study from the Cleveland Clinic showed that the newest bivalent (two genetic strains of COVID gene therapy vaccine) was 30% effective in preventing COVID. However, a more startling find was that the risk of COVID-19 increased with time since the most recent prior COVID episode and also with the number of vaccine doses received. The authors noted that in those who did not receive COVID vaccines, “their risk of acquiring COVID-19 was lower than those who received a larger number of prior vaccine doses.” In another study, the immune responses of 30 human subjects were analyzed. In this study, it was found that the third COVID vaccine suppresses antibiotic production. Antibodies are important in infection fighting proteins. The fourth COVID-19 vaccine dose made the problem even worse.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9651894/pdf/41467_2022_Article_34633.pdf
Comment/Opinion:
The above studies represent an increasing body of scientific data showing that COVID gene therapy vaccines can have an opposite effect of what at least some of the components of the vaccine were hoping for. Combined with concerns of safety, the lack of effectiveness of the vaccines makes them questionable for continued use.
Fact:
Recent data released by vaccine manufacturer Pfizer reveals that by the end of February 2021, i.e., within 41 days of the Pfizer vaccine rollout, there were 275 strokes associated with receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. 61 of these, i.e. 22% of these stroke victims, died. 30 of the 60 stroke victims died within 48 hours of receiving COVID-19 vaccination. Both Pfizer and the FDA were aware of this information in 2021. Despite this, the vaccines were labeled safe and effective. (It is estimated that approximately 126,212,580 doses of BNT162b2 were shipped worldwide from the receipt of the first temporary authorization for emergency supply on 01 December 2020 through 28 February 2021. It is not known how many of these doses were given at the time that the data on stroke victims was gathered.)

Comment/Opinion:
Continued concerns of safety with regard to COVID-19 vaccines are being released to the general public. For any person to make informed consent with regard to any vaccine, patients should have appropriate information before making a decision as to whether or not they will receive a vaccination.
Fact:
Rates of COVID-19 vaccination have significantly fallen since the vaccine rolled out. 79% of the American population has received one dose of COVID-19 vaccination. 68% of Americans have received two doses of COVID vaccination. Only 33% of the American population has received their initial vaccine series and a booster.
Source:
https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/
Comment/Opinion:
The decreasing rates of COVID vaccination can be due to a variety of factors. Most importantly, safety of the vaccines is increasingly being questioned. The effectiveness of the vaccines is also being questioned by many who have received vaccination and yet still received COVID-19 infection.
There are claims that the vaccines will decrease the severity of COVID infection. However, even before the vaccines were widely available to the American public, the number of people who were dying from COVID-19 compared to the number of people who were infected with COVID was already sharply declining. This was noted as early as January of 2021. The Omicron variant infected many people in Michigan but was overall less dangerous than previous strains of COVID-19. This is typical of coronaviruses in that they become more common but less dangerous over time as they mutate.
Other factors can include “COVID fatigue.” Many people simply have come to the realization that like other infections in the community such as other coronaviruses, influenza, and Strep, it is better that we learn to live with COVID-19, treat it early in susceptible populations, and realize that for most people this infection is nothing to be fearful about. Confidence and educated concern is a better option than continued worry and anxiety over this infection.
Fact:
A new home guide for treatment of COVID-19 has been released by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. It is available at:

Comment/Opinion:
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons is the oldest national organization for doctors in the United States. The motto for the organization is “ Everything for the Patient” (Omnia pro Aegroto).
