Key points
- Personal story of censorship and disregard
- Different messages – censored doctors versus corporate medicine messaging
- Resources for health and building trust and accountability
- Medical treatment errors and bias, reviews to improve treatment
- In recognition of autism awareness month, honoring doctors censored over 200 years for questions, researching and speaking out
The following are comments I made – representing myself – before the Lincoln-Lancaster County Board of Health on April 14, 2026
As a quick review, in February I asked for some common ground considerations for drinking water fluoridation (comments with attached treatment reports, dosing information, daily exposure, and Board’s February minutes), and in March I asked for your consideration in the area of vaccine safety and informed consent (comments, questions, and attachments 1, 2, 3, and 4). Today, my comments and questions focus specifically on the people who’ve been disregarded and censored for investigating, questioning and speaking out about the risks of vaccines versus the risk of disease experience.
I’ll begin on a personal note. While it may not have been his intention, at my councilman’s March town hall, I felt dismissed and labeled by his answer to my questions. Briefly for context, when he presented his perspective on the bill passed to increase health department oversight, he reinforced his point by claiming the failed recall petitions and the next regular election proved local support for the representatives who enabled COVID measures. On that claim, I asked him about media influences in voting, adding that I had observed censorship during COVID. In responding, he shared a story describing some of the people who contacted you during that time as “bat-shit insane.” I can understand his perspective. It isn’t easy to listen when information seems crazy, even dangerous. But, can you see how that came across? How can we maintain trust if certain ideas are deemed too crazy or dangerous to question?
I, too, heard disorienting things during COVID. So, to be prepared for my family, and to document and grieve what I saw happening, I made this graph to visualize the stark contrast in preparing for, and treating, influenza-like illnesses. In the top row, I noted what I knew about nutrients and healing, and what I was learning from doctors who were helping to educate and heal. I saw these doctors censored one-by-one. Compare this to the gap I saw in corporate medicine messaging, shown in the row below, where no early treatment was discussed, only DHMs.
I’ve provided you each with a book published, and available free online, by the Children’s Health Defense, called A Parent’s Guide to Healthy Children. The book includes nearly 400 references from healing practitioners concerned with helping parents confidently navigate common childhood illnesses on their own. I’ve also included, with my comments, similar draft chart data fields for tracking rash with fever and encephalitis-like brain disorders, a draft definition for medical treatment bias, and links to the federal reporting requirements for medical practitioners to report vaccine injury. Of the $5.6 billion compensated for the roughly 13,000 death and injury claims paid since 1989, how many MMR encephalitis-related claims paid do you think fell slightly outside the 5 to 15 day time period established for first symptoms, specified in the vaccine injury table? How many of these outliers, children, might live in Lancaster County?
8 year-old Daisy Hillebrand died about a month after 6 year-old Kaley Fehr (see link page 2). The young girls died at different Texas hospitals located about 2 miles apart. Pulmonary and critical care doctor, Pierre Kory, who reviewed Daisy’s record highlights the treatment bias written in Daisy’s hospital chart, “severe pulmonary sequelae of measles infection around 3 weeks ago,” and, “we are concerned that the true extent of her lung injury due to measles is unknowable and it may be an end-stage process given the span of illness and the fact she truly is an outlier.” Dr. Kory also noted that the ICU team stopped Daisy’s antibiotics on day 2 and didn’t appear to consider the possibility of hospital-acquired pneumonia until day 6 of 8. Dr. Kory determined that Kaley died from similar treatment, without the benefit of a standard protocol for pneumonia. About 3 ½ hours after Kaley died, USA Today reported, “the unvaccinated 6-year-old girl” as “the first reported US measles death in a decade.” Kaley’s parents allowed Dr. Kory to review her record so that others could learn of any errors and to promote improved treatment. Did Daisy and Kaley’s parents even know about nutrient deficiency and disease?
To conclude, in recognition of autism awareness month, I offer a solemn moment to briefly recognize just a few of the doctors who’ve spoken out over the last 200 years, with a similar message to John Enders, the “father of modern vaccines,” in his 1954 research finding there was “no ground for concluding” the impact in the body would be the same as what might be associated with the measles virus in the cell culture. Taking a different path from Enders, though, these people questioned safety, the ability of vaccines to impact one aspect of the body without otherwise changing it. From the 1800’s we recognize French scientist Antoine Béchamp, a rival of Napoleon-favored scientist Louis Pasteur, nurse Florence Nightingale, and Drs. Charles Creighton and Robert Gunn (see Dissolving Illusions Chapter 9), and from the 1900’s to today, Drs. Weston Price, Andrew Wakefield, Pierre Kory, Peter McCullough, David Brownstein, Ben Tapper, and 35-year practicing pediatrician Dr. Paul Thomas, who’s license was suspended by the Oregon medical board for investigating and publishing vaccine safety information for parents (see Vax Facts & Vaccine-Friendly Plan), after recognizing undeniable vaccine injury in his practice.
I’ll end by asking you to consider the risk of vaccines versus the risk of disease experience as an opportunity to build trust, and to make the best of all traditional healing and advancements in science. Finally, please consider this message from Dr. Gunn in the year 1891 (see Dissolving Illusions, Page 239).
“How strange it is that, no matter what the professional or scientific attainments of a man may be, no matter how he may have previously been honored, nor what positions of preferment and trust he may have occupied, the moment he says a word against vaccination he is denounced as not knowing anything of the subject, and not being an authority in medicine.”(2)
