Illinois woman arrested for fake COVID vaccine card

A 24-year-old woman was arrested and charged on suspicion of falsified vaccination documents when she traveled to Illinois with a fake COVID-19 vaccination card. She did so to avoid the state’s strict mandatory 10-day quarantine, according to reports.
Apparently Chloe Mrozak, of Illinois, “also allegedly falsified information on her quarantine location.” Her card was flagged because it read Maderna, instead of Moderna.
First of all, the insanity behind the Orwellian law is obvious on its face. We started heading down this slippery slope at the beginning of the outbreak and it’s only become worse more than a year later. This is what I call a “COVID lawmaker power grab” intended to take away liberties from every day Americans.
It’s not that I don’t believe that the vaccine works but I don’t need to carry my measles, polio and flu vaccination card everywhere I go. Think about it? We are endowed with certain liberties and laws like this will always lead to arrests because in the end it’s up to each individual to do what’s right for them. The government should not force vaccines on everyone. That’s simply un-American.
In fact, new scientific studies suggest that the vaccine isn’t working as well as natural herd immunity against the highly transmissible COVID Delta.
Here’s a headline from a recent Yahoo Story: Even with the Delta variant, the ability of COVID-19 vaccines to prevent hospitalization hasn’t significantly dropped, CDC scientist says. Read it here.
I thought Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has made the best arguments against these extreme draconian laws. In a recent and excellent column in The Hill, Paul argued with facts and science that these laws are infringing on American civil liberties.
The newest power grab comes in the form of an alleged “Vaccine Passport” which would determine your social suitability to engage in your everyday life. Want to go to the store? Show your vaccine card.Want to go to a restaurant or concert? Did you tell the government what vaccines you’ve had?Want to travel? VACCINE PAPERS PLEASE.I have been warning for a full year about the slippery slope that our freedoms were being pushed down. Even I wasn’t sure it would end with full on vaccine fascism. Let’s start with a few things the media will no doubt try to get wrong. I’m in favor of vaccines. I’m a Duke Medical School trained M.D. and I studied immunology before moving on to my career in eye surgery. Vaccines are a marvel of modern medicine, and the speed and effectiveness of the COVID vaccines have been great.I’m also in favor of people making their own medical and personal decisions.By early summer, everyone in America will have been eligible for a vaccine. Between those who took the vaccine or had COVID, there is little to no doubt we will have herd immunity by then, and danger from COVID will be low.Even the CDC now admits what I said months ago (and Dr. Fauci denied) — those who have been vaccinated are not getting sick and they are not passing along the disease to others. This makes the idea of a vaccine passport — which is a terrible idea for freedom — a simply poor idea overall, as it should have no impact on anyone.
The Hill, Sen. Paul
Mrozak is the latest victim of these extreme measures. She was caught on Aug. 23, when the Safe Travels Program administrator reported a possible fraudulent COVID vaccination card after Mrozak uploaded and presented the card to the airport screener, the local news report states.
People who live in fear of the illness or those who are more apt to relying on the government to protect them may think this is ok. But remember it won’t end with COVID-19 vaccines. This law is based on fear, not on science. It is a slippery slope that will encroach on your own civil liberties one day whether it’s COVID-19 or some other issue. Once we allow the government to seize on our rights, we will only have ourselves to blame when we have none left.
“The screener failed to confirm Mrozak’s hotel reservation prior to her leaving the processing center. According to court documents, no reservation was found after contacting the hotel that she listed in her Safe Travels forms, and Mrozak did not provide her hotel reservation number and return flight information.”

Nebraska woman who detransitioned sues doctors who facilitated removal of ‘healthy breasts’ when she was a teen battling mental health

Nebraska woman Luka Hein is suing Nebraska Medicine, the Nebraska Medical Center, and University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Physicians who facilitated in her gender transition when she was a teenager; Hein has since detransitioned.
Hein, who is being represented by the Center for American Liberty, filed the suit last week, for removal of her healthy breasts when she was a depressed teenager who struggled with mental health.
“Proceeding straight to breast amputation in a depressed, anxiety-ridden, gender-confused adolescent, who was incapable of understanding the lasting consequences of her decision, constitutes negligence for which Defendants are jointly and severally liable,” the lawsuit states.
Fox News reports:
Throughout adolescence, Hein struggled with her mental health and traumatic experiences, including being allegedly groomed and threatened by an adult man. She had serious mental-health struggles at age 13. By 15 she was diagnosed with “gender identity disorder” and put on a fast track to have her breasts removed, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims that despite Hein’s history, doctors rushed her into gender transition without considering her psychological comorbidities. It says the defendants used deceptive euphemisms and unscientific terminology to sell gender-transition procedures to Hein.
For instance, their use of the phrase “masculinizing hormone therapy” was misleading as the process does not heal the patient but does “inflict harm that causes malfunctioning and malformation of the teenage body and brain,” according to the lawsuit. Testosterone injections, which Hein received as part of her attempted sex change, can cause many negative side effects including high blood pressure and permanent bodily changes such as the development of an Adam’s apple, deepening of the voice, abnormal hair growth, and male pattern balding of the scalp.
The lawsuit says defendants were also negligent in other ways, such as in their shifting from a standard medical diagnosis to the “affirming care” model, which embraces a person’s gender delusion as fact and discourages questioning.
Allegedly one doctor, Nahia J. Amoura, was prepared to go even further. “About a year after starting Luka on testosterone, Dr. Amoura recommended to Luka that she surgically remove her uterus in a partial hysterectomy as the next step in her ‘transition,’” the lawsuit states. The hysterectomy would have permanently sterilized Hein and created hormonal imbalances that would have required long-term medical follow-ups.
