I can't find it in PACER yet, but a civil suit was filed to gain access to a state statute that is a Felony Class III for the illegal practice of medicine by a foreign entity or CMS for the jab mandate in Utah (District 10). The Plaintiffs I believe but cannot confirm, are the plastic surgeons with the Craniofacial Foundation of Utah, since at the end of this month they lose the privilege to practice at hospitals for refusing the jab.

The suit is a different attack vector: Bio-warfare, Anit-Trust, Racketeering, Collusion etc. citing Federal statutes or USC. This is the wedge that Dr. David Martin & team needs. This hopefully will open the floodgates rapidly. If courts do not remediate Fraud & the largest enterprise crime in history, then they failed, and the constitution is VERY clear on what needs to happen next.

"The upshot of the calls was that the governor doesn’t seem inclined to veto, fearing that any hospitals that do relax Covid mandates will instantly become litigation targets absent the shield."

So...veto it, Guv, and tell the legislature to come back with better, more flexible and nuanced legislation. Wouldn't be the first time a chief executive said, "Nope, you can do better. DO better."

C'mon, Ron. You know this.

I agree with this approach however if vetoed the Marxist dems will initiate a fear and possibly lawfare campaign saying that if Repubs stay in control the Florida Healthcare system will be ruined..you can take that to the bank.

The Marxist dems will always come back with a fear and smear campaign. We need to stop fearing their tactics. It's time for strong fearless leadership. The people are ready for it now. The politicians need to step up. DeSantis is making a huge mistake. This will cost him in the long run. Just watch.

I can't believe the veto on the hospitals is not going to happen. These people allowed people to die just because the government said so. Who cares if they get opened up to lawsuits! They need to pay for what they did.

Yes agree but it's happening all across the country...the CARES ACT signed into law in May '20 incentivizes

1.admitting patients into the hospital based on a bs PCR test designed to give false positives...admitted & + hospital gets $5k courtesy of you the taxpayer

2. If patient has bad symptoms ie difficulty breathing then place patient on Remdisivir at $$$ money per dose which shuts down your renal system

3. If still can't breath place patient on ventilator to blow out lungs and in many cases die - Hospital receives $39k per patient placed on ventilator! Courtesy of the taxpayer.

No other cheaper more effective drugs / treatments are permitted such as hydroxy chloroquine at $1 a dose or ivermectin which are proven effective and FDA approved for 70 years.....

This is unfathomable that the gov pharma tech community can get away with this

3. If patient still

I don't understand why a concern over hospitals facing litigation is a valid one. I assume the reason for litigation would be the mistreatment of patients resulting in many cases in death or permanent injury. Shouldn't hospitals and doctors be liable for malpractice and malfeasance? Even if they are following protocols recommended (not legally required) by the CDC--in order to rake in large sums of money? I guess if DeSantis is not willing to veto, a compromise is better than nothing, but it doesn't satisfy me in the least.

Anne's avatar

It's a lousy excuse. The bad guys will sue hospitals that relax their Covid mandates? What hospital is even thinking about easing those? The "compromise" gives hospitals the legal option to use other protocols, but they still make loads of money for using the CDC one and killing people. It'll be touted as a free-market solution, where patients can choose hospitals that use the better protocols - but good luck finding one willing to leave all that money on the table when they aren't liable for anything.

What other 'new' (though in many ways it's not new, even two years ago, we now know) disease has, two years later, received blanket immunity for following what are, after all, only *guidelines?* The sub-text for the whole issue is, I'm afraid, that hospital systems spend a lot of money on lobbyists. That's who's lobbying for this bill, even though it covers every type of health professional. The Florida Medical Association is not listed as lobbying for it, nor any pharmacy association.

The incremental steps by government to control health care goes back decades. Can the government issuance of dangerous "standards" be litigated? Lawsuits would likely bankrupt hospitals and possibly the underlying corporate entities, BUT, as in today's letter,

"Since hospitals only get liability protection when they follow government published treatment standards, they are legally locked into the CDC’s deadly remdesivir/ventilator combination."

The root cause would appear to be the agencies convened by, or under oversight of, the Government.

WHY should government be issuing mandatory standards for clinical practice of medicine? Clinical specialists in numerous therapeutic areas convene and develop consensus diagnostic and treatment guidelines based on the available clinical research and epidemiological data. The guidelines are published and offered as recommendations and/best practices.

With the fraudulent experts Fraudci, Collins, and others, the government coerced licensing boards and other organizations to revoke privileges of doctors who wanted to treat patients with other protocols supported by anecdotal evidence. They threatened to take away their licenses and to criminally charge those prescribers. The government enlisted social media and "news" outlets to censor favorable reports of early or alternative treatments, and to promulgate the lies about what the vaxx could and could not do. We know that list could go on and on.

HOW and WHEN do we get to lay out these crimes and malfeasance at brandon's doorstep?

Copernicus's avatar

Well, generally, as long as a dr can document that he followed The Guidelines, he is able to escape culpability for poor outcomes. So most doctors nowadays are quite content to work within the confines of The Guidelines.

Should there be a bad outcome and one was not following The Guidelines, one opens himself up to malpractice suits.

It’s sad, but true.

Unfortunately Guidelines are no longer viewed as one of several options. 😓

I see this whole COVID thing bifurcating right now. You have Narrative 2.0 on the one hand, with various entities ending masks, de-emphasizing cases, questioning the efficacy of the vaccines; but there's also a separate, stubborn other side, like Biden continuing the National Emergency (so he doesn't have to end the EUA), or companies still issuing vax mandates, or SOTUS denying hearing vax mandates for health care workers.

I think we'll still be in Coffee & COVID for a while.

If Biden extended the government emergency, how can the pandemic be declared over? Call it an endemic but keep the emergency in force forever? Sounds like the plan to me. The FDA will approve the mRNA faux vaccine for children, 6 mo.s to 5 years as soon as the SOTU is done. Bank on it. Also, unfortunately, DeSantis is still a politician for all of it.

He didn't "allow" the shots to be produced. He put together companies who could work together to produce a vaccine. They weren't successful and we still don't have a vaccine. But we are further down the road to getting a vaccine. Bidens people came in and took over. So now the researchers are running scared.

Novavax is soon to have their vaccine attempt approved for use. It's not mRNA. Hopefully it will be effective. One needs to study their info.

But Trump got the ball rolling and is to be commended. Dont believe the propaganda from the Biden adm.

Well, I am not holding my breath for Novavax. Remember, folks have been working for DECADES for a safe and effective vaccine against the common cold. They have been unsuccessful. The ferrets died or at least had worse disease after vax than without. Toddlers immunized for RSV in the 60s or 70s ended up sicker than those with no vax. None of those were mRNA shots.

For sure, the mRNA platform has its own issues. But, still have issues of any injected vax producing the wrong category of antibodies for best immunity (they stimulate serum IgG when what is needed is mucosal IgA), antibody-dependent enhancement, and original antigenic sin. See Dr Malone and Geert Vanden Bosche.

RE: the probable no go on the veto... Perhaps these hospitals SHOULD be litigated. I mean how many people have died who didn't need to?

Expand full comment
Peter Schott's avatar

Depends on the lawsuits. It would open up a whole bunch of possible lawsuits and that could drain everything, leaving no hospitals at all. Similarly, it could lead to hospitals doing virtually nothing because of the possibility of being sued because they dared to try anything. Sadly, litigation threats carry more weight than doing their best for the patient. I would like to see more options for the hospitals to use, though. Maybe the compromise will allow for that. I'm following along to see what comes of this.

Expand full comment
ForkInSocket's avatar

I'm not a legal expert for sure, but how is this case different from any other thing the hospitals do? They try to heal patients and sometimes make mistakes, and sometimes get sued. The better job they do (e.g. not killing people and listening to their patients), they will probably get sued less. Not an expert though :)

Re the risk from injections, "haven’t found evidence" = perhaps what, when I practiced medicine, was the abbreviation we half-jokingly called 'WNL' - it's supposed to stand for 'within normal limits,' but lazy docs might skip that part of the exam, when it then stood for 'we never looked.'

The Governor is making a mistake. Hospitals will get sued if they are negligent. That's how people are protected from tyranny through medical directives. Hospitals are knowingly killing people. Why is Governor DeSantis more interested protecting big pharma than the people? Unless this bill is vetoed, DeSantis has lost my support forever. I will no longer back politicians that appear compromised. All the tough talk is old. We need strong leadership when it truly counts.

Twenty-nine current members of Congress (House and/or Senate) were members in the 1980s, when napoleon mengele fauxi was perfecting his manipulation of studies and manifestation of the NIAID-pharma cabal around AIDS. RFK jr's chapters on the murderous fraud committed by this man for the approval of deadly, very high-priced AZT while suppressing use of nontoxic, effective, off-patent drugs reads like an accounting of the past two years; just substitute "covid" for "AIDS" and "remdesivir" or "mRNA" for "AZT."

In 1988, Nancy Pelosi directly rebuked Fauci for his AIDS response. She knew exactly what a fraudster and grifter he was in 2020, because she confronted him for it in 1988. And it's hard to believe the other 28 current congressmen who were around then, and the current POTUS, who was a senator at the time, didn't know what a monster he was. NBC, which used to be a news organization, broadcast the first of a 3-part series exposing the criminal falsification of the trial used to approve AZT on January 27, 1988. Were all these Reps and Senators in on it? They continued to pass budgets for his kingdom year after year. Where the hell were they then? And where the hell were they when his became the face of covid response in 2020?
