You may be familiar with the ongoing saga of the Craighead County (Jonesboro) library placing sexually explicit materials in the children’s section. We believe this is a precursor to other Arkansas libraries pushing the same leftist agenda. Please send an email (even if you don’t live in Craighead County – it’s part of the state library system and is funded in part with state tax dollars). The deadline to email is Monday, 2/14. Note that a vote FOR the policy is a vote to REMOVE the explicit material from the children’s section.
Subject line: Sexually Graphic/Explicit Material Policy proposed by Board Member Mark Nichols Body: Please adopt the Sexually Graphic/Explicit Material Policy as proposed by Board Member Mark Nichols
Feel free to add your thoughts, but make sure you include the above information. Below is the background info from Mark Nichols, which explains more. Do NOT copy / paste this, only what is above in bold.
“Many of you have been following the story with the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library. You have seen some of the sexually graphic books that are being provided to our youth. I have drafted a simple policy to move this material to the adult section. Here is a definition of the material that would be moved:
Sexually graphic/explicit material definition – Sexually graphic/explicit material includes detailed pictorial or text descriptions of explicit sexual acts including sexual intercourse, oral sex, or masturbation.
Exception to this policy – Material exclusively designed for sexual education shall be placed in a sex education section within the adult section of the library, or, in the alternative, within a young adult section within the adult section of the library.
Right now, there is NO area of the library (yes, not even the children’s section of the library) that is free of detailed pictorial or text descriptions of explicit sexual acts. That is a problem for parents who want their children to have a section where they can freely explore books without being exposed to harmful things or things they may not be ready for.
It is sad that there is a need to have this policy, but this is the situation we are currently in. You will hear the word censorship thrown around, but know that others do not have a First Amendment right to expose your child to sexually graphic material. Thus far I have received more feedback from people that want to keep this material in the youth sections. Is this a reflection of our community standards? The emails supporting this material have stated it is a vocal minority that has an issue with explicit material in the youth sections. Feedback from the community on this issue is critical. Ultimately, this is your library and your tax dollars being used to expose young children to graphic sexual material. If you think sexually graphic and explicit material should be relocated where parents can have a voice in what their kids are exposed to, let your voice be heard: Board@libraryinjonesboro.org

2.) The FDA will meet February 15, 2022 to discuss expanding the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for Pfizer’s covid jab to children 6 months to 5 years old. Pfizer itself said the vaccine is not ready, but the White House asked them to submit an application anyway!
We need to act now to tell the FDA this is completely unacceptable! They cannot vote on the safety and efficacy of a vaccine regimen for our youngest children without having data to vote on!
✅ Click the LINK below to make a comment in the Federal Register for the FDA and its advisory committee VRBPAC to see. Demand on record to see the evidence they are basing their decisions on. Our nation’s children need us more than ever right now. We’ve had 25,000 comments from you so far!! Keep sharing!
These comments are read! Members of both the FDA and CDC Advisory Committee are more and more frequently making commentary and asking questions during their meetings based on public comments. At Friday’s ACIP meeting, one member mentioned the large quantity of “queries” she received about data around the definition of vaccination and stated the info had to be collected better. Your voices are being heard!
Approval would make approximately 18 million more children eligible for an experimental jab. The White House is acting fast so we must act faster.
*LAST CHANCE! Comments received on or before February 10, 2022 will be provided to the committee. However, if you miss that window, know that the docket will remain open until February 14, 2022 and become part of our nation’s public record and will be taken into consideration by the FDA.*

5.) 16 States File New Lawsuit Challenging Vaccine Mandates for U.S. Healthcare Workers
QUOTE:Attorneys general from 16 states, led by Louisiana, filed a new legal challenge to COVID-19 vaccine mandates for U.S. healthcare workers claiming the mandates are illegal and obsolete, as the vaccines don’t work against Omicron, the dominant variant in the U.S.
The amended lawsuit was filed Feb. 4 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Chiquita Brooks-Lasure, administrator of CMS.
The suit seeks to block the mandate for healthcare workers in the 25 states that previously challenged it and where it is set to take effect beginning this month.
The revised lawsuit puts forth a series of new arguments, including that the CMS mandate was designed in response to the Delta variant and is therefore now obsolete.
Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia joined Louisiana in the lawsuit.

1.) 99% of All Covid Prior Infections Resulted in ‘Natural Immunity’ That Lasted at Least 650 Days
QUOTE: Johns Hopkins university this week dropped a quiet bombshell of an article that went widely ignored in the mainstream media.
Dr. Marty Makary, spearheading a team at Johns Hopkins to do the work that the CDC and NIH refuse to do, showed that 99% of unvaccinated people known to have Covid infections had robust “natural immunity” that did not diminish for at least 650 days.
Of 1580 individuals invited to undergo serologic testing, 816 (52%) did so between September 24, 2021, and November 5, 2021. Participants had a mean age of 48.0 years, 421 (52%) were women, and 669 (82%) were White (Table). Fourteen percent reported routine mask use in public. Anti-RBD and anti-N antibody presence/absence were correlated (95%; Cohen κ=0.908).
2.) Sidney Powell fighting Defense Department over bait and switch mandates:
Late Friday night, February 5, 2022, Defending the Republic filed its motion in opposition to the Government’s motion to dismiss in the Coker v. Austin case. This case involves a challenge to the Department of Defense (DOD) COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the unlawful implementation of that mandate, and the FDA’s improper “approval” of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
The Government is attempting to get this case dismissed, in part on the grounds that these military service members have no right or basis to sue the FDA, DOD, and the branches of the armed services. The Government alleges that our clients have not suffered any “adverse action” while their COVID-19 vaccine exemption request is pending.
The Government’s contention could not be further from the truth. In fact, our clients have suffered a wide range of adverse actions, including travel and duty restrictions, reprimands, and the denial of promotions because they have submitted vaccine exemption requests. One of our clients, a doctor, was removed from his position as a medical director, has received multiple counseling sessions and reprimands, had his treating privileges suspended, and even faces the loss of his medical license for standing up for his principles, and the real science.
We also allege the DOD is illegally mandating emergency use vaccines when they only have the authority to mandate “approved” vaccines. We have informed the Court that the current FDA approved vaccines are unavailable in the United States.
Additionally, we are asking the court to reject the FDA’s “approval” of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, in that it was issued without proper testing and made with the improper purpose to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for nearly all Americans.
Defending the Republic will continue to fight for the informed consent rights of all military service members and all Americans, and will do its part to hold the Biden Administration, the DOD, and the FDA accountable for their abuses of power.

3.) 12 Countries Roll Back COVID Restrictions, Israel Scraps ‘Green Pass’
QUOTE:Sweden and Switzerland joined Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania, France and the UK in announcing they will lift COVID restrictions and open up their countries.
Top Israeli officials also announced this week they are abolishing the country’s “Green Pass” COVID vaccine passport for restaurants, hotels, gyms and theaters.
Few studies, if any, have been carried out to determine whether vaccine passports and COVID restrictions actually lowered COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
However, a recent analysis published by researchers at John Hopkins found COVID lockdown measures implemented in the U.S. and Europe had almost no effect on public health.
“We find little-to-no evidence that mandated lockdowns in Europe and the United States had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality rates,” the researchers wrote.
4.) New Hampshire Lawmakers Propose Bill that Will Allow Pharmacists to Administer Ivermectin Without Prescription
QUOTE:Lawmakers in Concord Hampshire are proposing a bill that will allow pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin by means of standing orders.
“Standing order” means a written and signed protocol authored by one or more physicians licensed under RSA 329:12 or one or more advanced practice registered nurses licensed under RSA 326-B:18, the bill stated.

2.) Young Americans: Leave Those Creepy College Covid Camps And Start Your Careers Now
QUOTE:Lockdown measures used by governments worldwide to reduce the death toll from COVID-19 had little or no effect on mortality, according to three researchers who analyzed 24 studies.
The researchers, led by Steve Hanke, the co-founder of The Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise, screened 18,590 studies to select the 24 papers used for the final analysis.
They concluded that lockdowns in Europe and the United States pared the mortality from COVID-19 by 0.2 percent on average. Shelter-in-place orders reduced mortality by 2.9 percent on average, they found.
“While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted,” the researchers wrote.”In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
5.) Five Freedoms: Julie Ponesse’s Speech to the Trucker Convoy
In the early days of the shutdown and unconstitutional executive branch mandates, Reopen Arkansas was searching for a legal solution. Our constitutional rights were clearly being trampled, but no lawyer wanted to take on the governor. Enter Bentonville Attorney Greg Payne, who was willing to sue the state, the governor, and the Department of Health. Throughout the process, Greg remained stalwart in his position that the law was on our side. Since that initial lawsuit, he has represented scores of public school parents against tyrannical school boards over forced-masking. Other candidates will claim conservative credentials or support of constitutional principles, but Greg Payne has walked the walk, literally battling in court to preserve our natural and constitutional rights. The citizens of Arkansas can greatly benefit from having a constitutional lawyer fighting for us in the state legislature. That’s why we wholeheartedly endorse Greg Payne for Arkansas House District 13, and we encourage our members to generously support his campaign.
Payne policy positions important to Reopen Arkansas:

1.) HOSPITAL COVID GUIDE 1.0 from Attorney Jeff Childers
This guide is presented only as an outline to help inform you about options that may be available. This is a first draft. I will be refining and expanding this guide, and will post subsequent versions when they are available. If you have any suggestions for improvements to the guide, post them in the comments. The single most common call we are getting in our office these days is the scenario where a loved-one has been admitted to the hospital, diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, often attached to a ventilator, and has become concerned about their course of treatment. In many cases the hospitals have refused to release the patient, citing their unstable condition, meaning that at some point, it can become impossible to get off the Covid express. The most common complaints we get include that patients are being pressured to accept Remdesivir, have been given Remdesivir even though they objected to it, or the hospital will not administer alternative widely-used treatments even though the patient is in critical condition where side effects are less risky than imminent death. I have personally seen hospitals spend tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers to keep patients in their facility. Here are some suggestions, starting with the time before admission. You should read this now and you might want to bookmark it for later. It could save your life.## Common Suggestions[1] Document everything when working with a hospital. Keep or make all paperwork. Take pictures and video of everything. Be organized.[2] Determine whether you are in a one-party consent or two-party consent state for recordings, and then record meetings with hospital staff. If in a two-party state, you must notify the other party they are being recorded or it may be a felony. Record everything. One option for notice is to just put up a handwritten sign near the patient’s bed notifying folks that recordings are being made for quality assurance. Obviously document the existence of the sign.[3] Keep a log of the names of all hospital staff involved in the patient’s care.[4] Before getting anywhere near the hospital, or as soon as you read this if in the hospital, you MUST complete a medical health surrogacy form. This will legally designate the person who can direct your care if you become unable to do so. Here’s the example form for the State of Florida: http://www.myfloridalegal.com/desigsurrogfaq.pdfDo some googling for your area.[5] If you’re in the hospital, or are considering admission, request a copy of the hospital’s current Covid protocol IN WRITING.[6] Allied doctors have suggested that if you are in the hospital for Covid treatment, the things to focus on are the optimal use of anticoagulants, steroids, and the inpatient setting, meaning the overall day-to-day care (hydration, bedsore prevention, nutrition, etc.). [7] Consider researching whether you want to receive glucose (sugar water) at all, since some studies suggest this can worsen Covid outcomes. This may be particularly important for diabetics and pre-diabetics. If not, make your wishes known in writing as described above.[8] If any treating staff — nurses or doctors — make disparaging comments about your vaccination status, directly or indirectly, consider immediately instructing the hospital in writing that person may NOT be involved in your care.[9] Always remember the old saw about catching more flies with honey. Hospital staff are stressed and unhappy about Covid; I know of many who feel they cannot speak or act freely out of fear of professional reprisal. So the nurse or doctor that you think is an opponent may in fact be an ally willing to help wherever possible, but having to parrot the party line in the meantime. Never show anger or frustration. Keep it together. This is important.## Emergency RoomThe most common scenario that we are hearing is that folks go to the ER for Covid infection and are sent home without treatment if the symptoms aren’t serious enough, and then later are admitted after the patient’s condition has worsened to the point they require hospitalization. An increasing number of reports include folks who go to the ER for a separate reason and wind up testing positive in the ER, or become positive after admission — then get bunged right into the Covid ward and — boom! — they’re on the Covid express.[1] If you test positive in the ER, whether you were there FOR Covid or for a different reason, and are told you will be admitted, ask about at-home care alternatives. Most corporate hospitals do NOT have home-care protocols. I’ve listed websites below that provide information about alternatives for home treatment. With a little effort, you can find a local doctor or community hospital who will arrange and oversee at-home oxygen if needed. Ask about the hospital’s Covid protocol BEFORE you agree to be admitted. Is it based on remdesivir and the ventilator? If so, you may want to review the literature on those two treatments before you agree.[2] If you’re in the ER for a non-Covid critical condition but test positive, you’ll be admitted to the Covid ward. See the notes below, and consider discharging yourself for at-home Covid care the instant your primary issue has been stabilized.## Pre-SurgeryIf you are going in for a non-Covid-related surgery, be aware that nosocomial (hospital-acquired) Covid infections appear to be very common. In other words, even though you are there to have your appendix out, the hospital is going to start testing you for Covid about every ten seconds from the time you arrive until discharge. If you test positive, you’ll be on the Covid express before you know what happened.It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been vaccinated. You can still test positive and will be treated for Covid infection.You need to consider this risk in planning your surgery. If you test positive but don’t want remdesivir or ventilation, you need to make that clear in WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS provided to the hospital IN ADVANCE of your surgery. They need to be part of your medical record. Otherwise you could be on remdesivir even before you come out of anesthesia. Some people may not have options because of insurance constraints and so forth. Explore your options. And if you DO have options, consider whether your surgery would be better handled in a facility where they don’t also provide Covid treatment, in order to reduce the risk of Covid hospitalization. Finally, can your surgery be safely deferred? Don’t defer necessary surgery unnecessarily. But if you can wait, that might be a good idea. ## Early Interventions (post-admission)This section applies to folks or their loved ones who are in the hospital with a Covid diagnosis but remain conscious. [1] If you haven’t yet received Remdesivir, and DO NOT want it, state that in writing and give it to your doctors. Post a copy by your hospital bed.[2] If you DO NOT want to be placed on a ventilator, state that in writing and give it to your doctors. Post a copy by your hospital bed.Be prepared for the hospital to try, hard, to change your mind about those two treatments. This pressure may come when you are weakest. Be ready.[3] Many people believe that Covid is best treated at home. Your circumstances may vary. Get an opinion from a telemedicine specialist in at-home Covid care like www.jamesclinic.com, or consult www.myfreedoctor.com.Other online places to check include: aapsonline.org, AFLDS.com, https://covid19criticalcare.com (FLCCC), and GlobalCovidSummit.org.[4] If you decide that you prefer to treat your Covid at home, or can find a non-corporate independent clinic somewhere that will accept you, discharge yourself. If the hospital pushes back on discharge, you may need to discharge yourself “Against Medical Advice,” or AMA. Ask if your hospital has its own form, otherwise google one.## Late Interventions In this section, the patient is no longer conscious or capable of directing their own care. Many times these patients are, unfortunately, already on the ventilator. Therefore relatives or a surrogate are making decisions for the patient. Many patients in this condition are essentially just waiting to die.[1] If you are concerned about the quality of care, immediately get the hospital’s “Patient Advocate” involved. Most hospitals have one. [2] Get a second opinion. You’ll need to find a local independent doctor to provide a second treatment opinion. Obviously you will need a doctor who specializes in Covid treatment. You should request the doctor be allowed to evaluate the patient even if they lack admitting privileges for purposes of a second opinion. Request that the doctor be permitted to participate in patient conferences even if by phone. [3] If at all possible, arrange for someone to be in the room with the patient at all times to ensure consistent high quality of care. At ALL times. Do it in shifts. Even in the middle of the night. Things can happen over the night shift. This person should be checking hydration levels and conferring when possible with nurses and doctors assigned to the patient.[4] Advocate continually for alternative treatments (iv.mectin, fluvoxamine, and/or monoclonal antibody treatments), if approved by the outside physician.[5] Some people have successfully arranged to have alternative treatment providers see the patient; or have managed transfers to other hospitals with more flexible Covid treatment, specialized clinics, or even at-home treatment. You may have to insist on the patient being discharged AMA.[6] Right-To-Try. Consider drug treatments still in clinical trials with right-to-try programs. You MUST use the magic words “I am requesting this against medical advice,” or the hospital will usually reject or ignore your request. Note that iv.mectin and fluvoxamine are APPROVED drugs and are excluded from right-to-try. For example, one drug in this category that has been frequently mentioned is Zysemi. See (https://tinyurl.com/2p84528z).[7] You might want to familiarize yourself with successful hospital protocols from 2020, like placing ventilated patients on their stomach.[8] Your primary goal is to wean the patient off the ventilator. The longer they are on the ventilator, the more likely it is that their condition will continue to deteriorate. Once off the ventilator, you can transition to at-home care.## Legal Options[1] Court Options. Court options are limited, and expensive, but have worked in some places. Laws vary widely state-by-state. In Florida, the applicable law is Probate Rule 5.900, which provides for an emergency hearing about patient treatment within 72 hours. My suggestion is that the Court be asked ONLY that the patient (a) be allowed to be treated by the outside physician, or (b) that the patient be released AMA.As an example, here is a link to Florida Rule 5.900: (https://tinyurl.com/2p8hm8kx).Your lawyer should carefully consider that asking a Court to order administration of iv.mectin is a risky ask. There have been some successes with this approach, but also many, many failures. Courts have wide latitude in what they can do (or not do) in these situations. Adding a controversial drug into the equation makes the case significantly harder, and since judges are people too, the judge’s preconceived notions about iv.mectin will be a factor. You do NOT want to get into a giant evidentiary battle over the efficacy of iv.mectin. In other words, simpler and less intrusive requests are more likely to be granted by the Court.[2] Police Reports. If the patient was given Remdesivir against instructions, that may be a battery, and you might want to consider filing a police report against the hospital and involved staff. If the patient passed away, the stakes are even higher. Although it is hard to say whether the police report will amount to anything, it may be very helpful documentation later. Obviously, provide the police with all paperwork and evidence that you have and keep a file copy of the police report. I hope this helps. These cases are the worst, most heart-breaking cases I have ever handled in my career. The stakes are literally life-and-death. I don’t mean this guide to be critical of well-meaning doctors and nurses in corporate hospitals — many, if not most are heroic professionals who want the best for patients. Unfortunately, the incentives (e.g. government payments to hospitals) are totally perverse. Finally, remember that you are not alone! There are more and more advocacy groups forming to help people trapped in hospitals receiving ineffective or harmful treatment. But time is short. The best defense is a good offense; be prepared BEFORE you reach the emergency room.
4.) Three of the biggest and most liberal counties in Colorado end the mask mandates in public schools! Colorado is deep blue and Arkansas supposed to be red?
QUOTE:Districts should rethink imposing on millions of children an intervention that provides little discernible benefit.
To justify mask requirements in school at this point, health officials should be able to muster solid evidence from randomized trials of masking in children. To date, however, only two randomized trials have measured the impact of masks on COVID transmission.
The first was conducted in Denmark in the spring of 2020 and found no significant effect of masks on reducing COVID-19 transmission. The second is a much-covered study conducted in Bangladesh that reported that surgical masks (but not cloth) were modestly effective at reducing rates of symptomatic infection. However, neither of these studies included children, let alone vaccinated children.
Other studies—not randomized trials—have looked at the effects of masks in schools, and their results do not support pervasive, endless masking at school.
