However, if the same lady, you know, if another patient came to me who was 75 years old and said, ah, yeah, I know I have this membrane, maybe it's a little bit warped, but I just watch TV. I don't really do much reading. It really doesn't bother me. I'd be like, no, we're not going to do that. because the risk of the procedure outweigh the benefit to you. So it's going to be case by case basis.
That was thrown out the window during COVID. I don't know why. And so I had to find myself discussing like basics of medicine. The word safe should not be used when discussing medication. No medication or any intervention is safe. Walking down the street is not safe. Being in this physical body and having this physical experience on this earth has risk.
And sometimes terrible things happen, even if you've tried to mitigate the risk. And you just have to understand that there's going to be a risk. So there's no such thing as safe. We should just get rid of that word in medicine.
As far as the drugs, I'm absolutely 100% with you that we need to minimize use of interventions, pharmaceutical interventions. It's gotten to this crazy, it's crazy. We live in an insane system where 40 and 50-year-old women, 25% of them are on antidepressants. Right? You go to the office, you're like a 50-year-old woman, I don't feel good. Here's an antidepressant. There's no counseling.
Maybe they'll refer you to a therapist. And they're not looking at all the other things that are happening. Are you living a purpose-driven life? Your children have left the home. How does that make you feel? other things are you doing with your day now? Have you considered volunteering? What makes you happy? How's your activity level? Are you getting movement? Are you getting sunlight?
What's your nutrition like? 75% of the country is deficient in magnesium, right? We're taking it away from our bones. The basics have been completely ignored and we're just throwing drugs at people, which is just upside down.
Yeah, that's another thing that's been, you know, it was like, used to be, and you know this better than me because you saw the before of like how pain became another vital sign.
to make everybody's pain zero or else, you know, if you didn't make their pain zero, it became bad. So then everybody was getting over-medicated. Now with these surveys, you want to get a good survey result. So you're just going to appease the patient. And that's just, it's just terrible. It doesn't make sense. Yeah, that's right.
I was initially super overwhelmed, in shock, couldn't believe it. And I started following the public health training and medical training I got. And I was like, what I'm hearing on the news, and it really COVID woke me up to how much the news was teaching me things that, or was trying to tell me things and indoctrinating me in things that were not reality.
And as I awoke, I decided to work on myself, strengthen myself, and then I started speaking out. California made these terrible laws, one after another, or bills. And then I started advocating, and As I grew more strong in my voice, as I grew more strong in my confidence and took steps, I started speaking out more and more and got involved in fighting some of these censorship laws against doctors.
And they keep writing them, so we have to keep fighting them.
So the one I'm currently fighting right now was actually written before the first one up. But the first one up was AB 2098, which was a law that was authored by members of the vaccine working group, especially Evan Lowe was the bill's primary author. And so these people kind of wrote a slew of bills during the COVID times in California as a reaction, right? Not thinking, as a reactionary.
And one response, we have to control doctors was one of them because doctors are spreading misinformation. And so that was what they were saying, and disinformation. They're saying that there's nanobots in the vaccines, and we have to get doctors who say there's nanobots in the vaccines. I was like, what doctor is saying there's nanobots in the vaccine?
And don't we have laws, and we have laws on the books already that prevent show that legal action can be taken against doctors by the state if they say disinformation. And so they put out a law, AB 2098 was the bill, and Governor Gavin Newsom ended up signing it. And the law said that any doctor who engages in disinformation or misinformation can get their license taken away or investigated.
And the disinformation I agree with, disinformation is like a doctor knowingly spreading false information. Unethical, it's wrong, absolutely. But their definition of misinformation was really frightening. They defined misinformation as information that's against consensus, contrary to standard of care. So this word consensus loomed. I'm like, what's the consensus? Is it formal consensus?
Is it informal consensus? Who is deciding the consensus? Why, why? Why are we saying that? What's consensus? So everybody's going to chill their speech. The legal term is called chilling your speech. Not speak, which was already happening among physicians. So I was like, oh my gosh, this is just going to come back. compound the issue. And we saw that it did compound the issue.
And so as I spoke out against it, I met with my representative, my state senator, Sidney Kamlager's office, who, by the way, was the author of the second bill or the second law that I'm fighting now. She's now gone on to Congress. I don't know what she's doing. I guess she and I have some celestial karma that we're figuring out, or at least I'm trying to figure out on Earth now.
But she backed that law. I met with her office. I was like, you cannot push AB 2098 that makes all doctors fear to say anything because they're afraid to be outside of consensus. This doesn't make sense. It's unethical. It's wrong. It's a free speech violation. She voted for it anyway. So many Democrats in the state legislature voted for it anyway. Governor Gavin Newsom signed it.
And as I'm speaking out then, I got the opportunity to be a part of that lawsuit, along with some great doctors, Ram Dursetti, Aaron Cariotti, Pete Mazalowski, Tracy Beth Hogue, and supported by the wonderful people at the New Civil Liberties Alliance.
The ACLU, who, by the way, during COVID, was pushing for vaccine mandates and saying that vaccine mandates were a wonderful thing, was nowhere to be found in this free speech violation. Of course. Wonderful.
