I’m calling on @RepAdamSchiff @AdamSchiff to resign from Congress & end his Senate campaign. Coordinating w/another government agency to suppress speech is as unconstitutional as it gets. Thank you @hamill_law for exposing. More to come. @elonmusk FYI ocregister.com/2023/08/06/bar… Also, @lapublichealth @LACountyBOS @LindseyPHorvath @HollyJMitchell @HildaSolis @kathrynbarger @SupJaniceHahn It’s time for you to immediately fire Barbara Ferrer & her communications chief @Morrow_Brett for violating our nation’s most sacred law. If this isn’t enough, what is?

🧵 In reflecting back on how COVID brought out the very worst in people, my greatest personal example is what my kids’ preschool (part of a house of worship) in Brentwood, West Los Angeles did to my entire family. Preschool was closed March, 2020 without refunds. “Reopened” fall… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Despite being exceptionally upset that our kids were robbed of 2 weeks of school for NO reason (no one sick!), we were excited for them to return on 1/4/21.

Huge news: While California decided the state won’t mandate COVID vaccines for school, state Supreme Court now ruled that school DISTRICTS may NOT impose mandates on their own either.

🧵The same people who censored the Hunter laptop story weaponized social media to discredit @gbdeclaration authors @DrJBhattacharya @MartinKulldorff @SunetraGupta in order to silence them and attempt to destroy their careers. That backfired & now they’re being exposed. @elonmusk Now that @Twitter collaboration has been exposed, we must do the same with @Apple @facebook @Meta @Google & others. If @elonmusk can’t afford to buy them (yet) @GOPLeader @HouseGOP must hold hearings & subpoena people AND documents. This impacts our Constitution not just politics

🧵Want proof that @lapublichealth planned mask mandate for Los Angeles County is unjustified? Last July Ferrer tried to mandate masks when we were in “high” transmission. We fought back & said NO. She backed off. What happened? Did millions die? NO - without masks, it went away What happened last July, where we saw how COVID cases NATURALLY plummet after a peak, is SCIENTIFIC proof that mask mandates aren’t needed. Had Ferrer masked us, she would have taken credit, claiming that it’s proof that her useless mandate worked! But instead, we know it doesn’t

The incompetent @lapublichealth Director Ferrer is threatening to join China as one of the only places forcibly muzzling its people. She tried in July and this video shows how we stopped her by exposing her fraud. We must stop this lunacy and have her fired once and for all. @UprisingLa @ReopenCASchools @adamcarolla @drdrew @RobSchneider @tracegallagher @BrigidMaryMcD @ToddPiro @foxnewsnight @FoxFriendsFirst @IngrahamAngle @RoxanneHoge @JZachreson @FedUpCitizenLA @Rnovie @DannaWriter @LauraPowellEsq @Leftylockdowns1 @pnjaban @AzadehKhatibi

🧵 It appears that many remain unaware of the basic principles of medical ethics. So I’m writing this thread as Dr Hemmati’s Medical Ethics 101, Twitter Style, to educate people about what ought to be obvious. Note that I’m a professional pediatric Phase 3 clinical researcher… Principle 1: you cannot administer or even recommend a medical treatment, including a vaccine, without full informed consent from adults, or parents, and assent in the case of children who can understand.

Sorry @ProfEmilyOster - you get no “pandemic amnesty” - it’s unforgivable to knowingly inflict irreparable harm against so many people, particularly poor and kids, and then say you didn’t know better back then. Don’t rewrite history. Be accountable. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… You know what the best “pandemic amnesty” would be @ProfEmilyOster ? In one week, to vote out EVERY school board member, councilmember, Governor, congressman, senator who enacted policies that would obviously harm. Who mandated/shamed/belittled. Call for that & get your amnesty.

I demand that Senator @DrPanMD immediately take down his uncalled-for, slanderous assault against @DrJBhattacharya whose only crime has been to successfully challenge Senator/Dr Pan. Pan is frustrated that even with #AB2098, he can’t silence Prof. B because no license to revoke! Senator @DrPanMD I respectfully ask you to engage in a 1:1 debate against Prof. @DrJBhattacharya, in person, on the science and rationale behind your policy proposals. You hold great power and with it comes immense responsibility to defend policies and LISTEN to dissenting voices

The world needs to see this video, never posted before and sent by a brave witness. This is happening NOW in Iran, Basij police savagely beating a woman for expressing her desire to be free of a head covering. This CANNOT be allowed to continue. Will the world silently ignore? The brutal killing of Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran’s morality police was not an isolated incident — young girls, aged 10 and under are being SHOT this week and many tortured/beaten. Please air this video. @IngrahamAngle @tracegallagher @SamSullivan @FoxFriendsFirst @ToddPiro

🧵Leaving @HollywoodBowl 1045p Saturday N95/shield-wearing driver of early bus (needed to get young kids home) refused to allow unmasked onboard (no mask policy). Walked on, 4 angry passengers rushed me, left to be greeted by @LAPDHollywood. Tried to deny us on ANY bus. Watch attached video. Edited out my (very tired) kids’ faces - hours past bedtime to see John Williams conduct & left early to take early bus to save 30 min, but that happened to be the one driven by mask-only driver who refused entry to unmasked. Few HAD masks - outdoor concert.

🧵 In a shocking/unbelievable move, @CASenateDems @AssemblyDems are about to pass #AB2098 & send to @GavinNewsom to sign into law. Would take away any doc’s medical license for “COVID misinformation” as defined by THEM (not necessarily scientific fact). leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billText… ImageImageImageImage Please read the full text of #AB2098 at the link. I have pasted and highlighted most of the text. Senators @DrPanMD @Scott_Wiener with support from @CMAdocs want to silence MDs by threatening to end careers of any doc who doesn’t follow COVID “standard of care” ie what THEY say. Image

What matters most to me (and many parents) in the November midterm elections are school board seats. Anyone who pushed to keep schools closed (at any level of govt) is our/kids’ enemy and must not be (re)elected. That’s MY top issue and overrides anything else. @ReopenCASchools Note: many school boards have incumbent candidates who deserve to be voted out for other reasons as well irrespective of COVID including widening learning gaps, crumbling schools that become condemned for safety, financial mismanagement, hostility to parents etc.

BREAKING Santa Monica-Malibu Unified @SMMUSD incumbent pro-mandate/closure school board candidate Keith Coleman abruptly ends campaign amidst investigation into giving false residence address. MUCH more to this story that needs to come out @ReopenCASchools surfsantamonica.com/ssm_site/the_l… School board member Coleman even decided to put his own kids into the very elite and expensive ($50k/year) private @brentwoodschool — was his OWN district not good enough for them or were they ineligible to attend because of real address?

🧵 I’m seeing a theory, backed by a lot of common sense & evidence, that serious COVID vax side effects caused by accidentally intravenous injection - blood vessels & heart & every organ make spike protein & get very inflamed. Would explain much of what we see. When tissues make spike protein, they get very inflamed. That’s why arm is sore and you get fever/chills. If vax accidentally injected into vein, it’s pumped into heart and from there to rest of body. Everything becomes inflamed. Inflamed blood vessels clog - heart attack/stroke.

Also discuss @SMMUSD @BDrati universal, forced testing of all district schoolkids - must NOT continue in fall!
