Medical News of the Day - Saturday, December 25th, 2021
Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope you and your families have a great Christmas holiday and thank you so much for subscribing to the Medical Freedom Substack.
For the Substack that was created 17 days ago, this is now the #12 most popular in the Medical category and #13 in the Freedom category and #1 in the Medical Freedom category. This is only the beginning. People need to be informed on the latest news, as well as always question the narrative.
Like I said, Medical Freedom is for everyone and much bigger than Covid. We must be finally be free from the decades of corporatists, Big Pharma and lobbyists running the medical establishment, who have caused the deaths and injuries of tens of millions of people. We need a medical system that cares about the individual, not a one-size fits all structure. No two human beings are alike.
Furthermore, Medical Freedom is also about promoting good health. I will be starting a new chapter very soon on that and I will be sharing my personal experience, tribulations and successes. In my life, I have lost 260 lbs without surgery involving two complete lifestyle changes and I have another big challenge ahead of my life that I will be sharing at the start of the New Year. But for now, I hope everyone enjoys the holidays and my prayers and well wishes are for everyone who are battling COVID right now. I do have some good news that my sister, brother-in-law and friends are recovering and doing alright.
Covid
Omicron
Airlines cancel flights due to COVID staffing shortages - Associated Press

As of early evening Friday, Delta canceled had 149 flights on Friday and 188 for Christmas Day, according to FlightAware. (Other factors, such as weather, are also causing cancellations.) United called off 189 flights on Friday, about 10% of its schedule, and 140 on Saturday. Planned cancellations continued into Sunday.
Covid: Record 1.7 million people in UK infected last week - Independent
An estimated 1.7 million people in the UK had Covid-19 last week - a record for the pandemic, official figures suggest.

Cohen, 51, hurried to the center in Washington, D.C., to see Sandy, 82, and was shocked. Her mother’s right eye was swollen shut. A rushed visit to a corneal specialist led them to the emergency room, where they were met by frantic hospital staff members overwhelmed by coronavirus cases.

Cops called as NYC crowd descends for coveted free COVID tests - New York Post
Cops had to step in Friday as a crowd mobbed a Brooklyn corner where the city was giving away free at-home COVID-19 tests.

New York issues new isolation guidance for frontline workers - New York Post
New York will cut down its 10-day COVID-19 isolation guidance for fully vaccinated people in the “critical workforce” – nursing homes, restaurants, grocery stores – permitting them to go back to work in five days if they’re asymptomatic or have resolved their symptoms.

New study shows vaccines must be given monthly to be effective against Omicron - Steve Kirsch
The vaccines are making it more likely you'll be infected with Omicron 90 days after you are fully vaccinated. To keep vaccine effectiveness high against omicron, vaccination every 30 days is needed.
Yet another independent study confirms over 150K Americans killed by the COVID vaccines - Steve Kirsch
I had 8 independent ways to show this before. And now there are 9. And nobody has a defensible number < 150,000. The CDC still claims no deaths, yet cannot explain how Schirmacher and others goofed.
Ugh. The mandatory Covid vaccination battles may get even uglier. Especially for kids. - Alex Berenson
Why?
If the last two years have proven anything, it’s that people in authority hate admitting they’ve made mistakes.
Update on Filing with the U.S. Supreme Court to Reinstate the Stay on OSHA’s 100+ Employee Vaccine Mandate - Aaron Siri

How Mild is Omicron? - Naked Emperor
With Omicron madness temporarily waning in the UK (even a virus needs a break at Christmas!), I wanted to take a look at whether Omicron is actually more mild than previous variants.
There are so few cases in the UK that any studies undertaken or conclusions made, so far, are purely conjecture. I decided to look instead at the data available from the country which has seen the highest rates and for the longest period of time, South Africa. In South Africa, probable Omicron cases jumped from 3% in October to 98% in December, so they have far more data to analyse.
Resist. The Time is Now. - Robert Malone
But choose your battles wisely.
The underlying truths of the grossly mismanaged globally coordinated response to the COVID-19 outbreak are becoming increasingly apparent to common citizens throughout the world. The United States Health and Human Services (HHS) system, once considered the world standard for medical research and for insuring purity, safety and effectiveness of drugs and vaccines, is now being seen by many as corrupt and compromised. Over the next year, additional data documenting and supporting this corruption will continue to emerge. The growing tide of whistleblowers, truth tellers and their lawyers will swell to the point that it will overwhelm the censorship and propaganda which the guilty and their accomplices are desperately using to try to hide their duplicity.

Feds Coming After Doctors & Pharmacines that Market Ivermectin as Effective & Safe for COVID-19 - TrialSite News
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is coming for any physician or pharmacy that promotes ivermectin as a drug that can “prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019,” or COVID-19. Recently, America’s drug regulatory agency claims they received complaints that the antiparasitic drug off-label can treat the novel coronavirus at the same dose used for authorized treatments, writes FDA Acting Branch Chief Branch Shannon Glueck, PharmD. This letter was sent to Humayun J. Chaudhry, DO, MS, FACP, FACOI, President and Chief Executive Officer Federation of State Medical Boards.
Deflated health care workers and desperate patients clash over alternative Covid treatments - CNN

Ivermectin, Lawsuits, Denials & Patient Deaths - TrialSite News
On what seems to be a continuing nationwide court battle, ivermectin is back in the news right around Christmas and Holiday time. Chicago’s WGN reports that the family of a suburban Chicago man has filed an emergency appeal in an effort to force doctors at AMTA Health St. Joseph Hospital to administer ivermectin. In this instance, it’s the family of Sebastian Abbintani. Both Sebastian and his wife Maria were admitted to the hospital after testing positive for COVID-19 last month. They were put in the ICU and later ventilators. This week Maria died. Could ivermectin have helped this patient? Why not give it a try—it’s off-label and has a well-known safety profile.

Many US churches canceling in-person Christmas services - Associated Press
Amid the surge of coronavirus cases across the U.S., numerous churches have canceled in-person Christmas services, disappointing pastors and churchgoers who consider them an annual highlight.
Other churches planned outdoor services or proposed a hybrid of online and in-person worship, often imposing tight restrictions for those in attendance. These included requirements to wear masks and show proof of COVID-19 vaccinations.
Politics
Inside the administration’s failure to avert a covid testing shortfall - Washington Post
On his first full day in office, President Biden signed an executive order to boost the availability of coronavirus testing. Five days later, standing in the White House with his health advisory team by his side, Biden called the fight against covid-19 a “wartime effort” and pledged that tests would be widely available.
In early September, amid the delta variant surge, Biden reiterated the promise that “every American, no matter their income, can access free and convenient tests.”

Lastly, on a personal level, my prayers and well wishes go out to my sister, brother-in-law and two friends, who have contracted Covid. This Substack will never do what other social media feeds have done and ridicule, harass and taunt people based on vaccination status. Medical Freedom is for everyone, even those who want to be in the tyrannical rule of the corporatists in the medical field. Like I have said, this is much more than just COVID.
God Bless my family, friends and everyone who is battling the virus.
