The coronavirus Covid-19 “plandemic” is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon the American public. It is a political “plandemic,” not a medical one. Sadly, most Americans have swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker. We have never responded to a virus like this before. Why are we doing this now? Government health bureaucrats, using faulty data and disease projection models, have intentionally created irrational fear and mass hysteria. This fear was fed by the fake news media and by politicians who have acted like tin-pot dictators. This manufactured crisis is all about power, control and money. Once you get the majority of people to operate on the basis of fear, they will gladly exchange their constitutional liberties for the delusion of safety offered to them by the politicians and civil government officials. They end up with neither. The politicians and civil government become all powerful, take control and dictate the actions of the masses. The purpose of civil government is not to protect your health. The purpose of civil government is to protect your rights. You are in charge of protecting your own health.

Fear Is Unwarranted Since the beginning of the coronavirus scare, I have been pointing out that the fear that has gripped our society is completely unwarranted. As of May 19, 2020, according to data reported by the Texas Department of State Health Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1,369 Texans have died with a confirmed or presumptive diagnosis of COVID-19. The odds of any Texan dying of COVID-19 is 1 in 28,000. According to National Geographic, your lifetime chance of being struck and killed by lightning is 1 in 3,000.1 This means that you are nine times more likely to die from a lightning strike than from this coronavirus. COVID-19 is a de minimis cause of illness and death. Contrary to reports by government health bureaucrats, COVID-19 is not highly contagious. There have only been 5 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide. The annual flu infects nearly 1 billion individuals worldwide. If you are worried about a virus that is trivial when compared to other diseases and causes of death, then you are allowing mass hysteria and delusion to rule your life.

Look at the number of new venereal disease infections on the chart, 2.4 million per year or 6,575 a day. So, why hasn’t the CDC recommended that everyone be tested for VD and AIDS, and quarantine those who test positive? Following the distorted thinking of the half-witted government health bureaucrats, I am amazed that they have not banned sexual relations and fine anyone who violates the ban $1,000 and six months in jail. Alcohol-related problems led to 88,000 deaths in 2019, 241 a day. Think of the enormous health and psychological damage that alcohol causes. Why haven’t these government health bureaucrats called for a new prohibition on alcohol?

Why haven’t they banned cigarette smoking? They are not going to do that, because they want to give everybody the opportunity to smoke wacky tobacky. The sin taxes provide a lot of revenue for the politicians and bureaucrats. Think of the 37,000 traffic deaths and 2.3 million traffic injuries. This is a huge public health problem which could be solved by dropping the speed limit to 5 mph or just by reverting to horses and carriages, bicycles and walking. So, you see this “plandemic” is not about public health at all. It’s all about gaining power and control over your lives. This is right out of the communist playbook. Read Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, in which he extols Lucifer as the first great rebel. This coronavirus is just another run-of-the mill respiratory virus. Eighty percent of people who get COVID-19 have only mild flu-like symptoms, at worst, and 25% of them are completely asymptomatic. Serious, life-threatening respiratory infections almost exclusively affect the infirm and debilitated elderly, who have serious preexisting medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, diabetes, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease, among others. The average age of death from COVID-19 is approximately 80 years, and a large proportion of deaths due to COVID-19 have occurred in nursing homes—72% of all COVID-19 deaths in New Hampshire and 67% in Pennsylvania.4 The primary reason individuals are placed in nursing homes by their families is because they have had a significant decline in their health and were unable to be properly cared for at home. The average nursing home patient lives less than two and a half years after they are admitted. Twenty-two percent of all deaths of Americans occur in nursing homes. Nursing homes effectively function as “hospice-lite.”

More Harm Than Good The lockdown, which includes social distancing, quarantining and shutting down businesses, schools, churches and public gatherings, only delays and extends the spread of coronavirus infection, because it prevents the development of natural herd immunity among the population. The lockdown is being promoted by government health bureaucrats who are trying to condition individuals to accept mandatory vaccinations with nanochips and immunity-tracking cards. People have shown that they will readily accept the loss of their constitutional rights and liberties in the vain hope that the government will make them safe and secure from disease and death. How foolish! How pitiful it is to operate one’s life based on fear of man or of germs! We should operate our lives in the fear

of the Lord. Confidence about the future is found in the fear of God. “In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence.” (Proverbs 14:26) We should live our lives by faith and not by fear. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

Having a sound mind meansusing common sense:

Lockdown: People with increased medical risk and compromised immune systems should sequester themselves at home to avoid exposure to the flu, coronavirus or any other respiratory infections. However, the stress caused by the general lockdown and quarantining of healthy individuals weakens their immune systems. The loss of jobs and income creates tremendous health and economic harm.

Masks: Wearing a mask is just theater. It is just a prop to make people feel safer, but in truth it is a worthless prop. As Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, has described in a medical article, masks provide no safety whatsoever for the healthy.5

The surgical masks that you commonly see people wearing do not protect against exposure to or transmission of COVID-19. While the mask does prevent the spread of saliva droplets from a sneeze or cough, the size of this virus is smaller than the holes in the mask, allowing it to pass through easily. Besides, the virus can be breathed in or out through the top, bottom or sides of the mask. Cloth masks, bandanas or handkerchiefs have no benefit in preventing the spread of the coronavirus. Masks can cause serious health problems, such as reduction of blood oxygenation and an elevation in blood CO2. N95 masks are the worst and can cause blood oxygen reduction of 20%. This leads to headaches and dizziness, and in those with lung disease, it can lead to deterioration of lung function and fainting. As for patients with COVID-19, wearing a mask can cause the virus to concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerve and travel to the brain.

Social distancing: Social distancing is a totally worthless concept. Viruses are nanosized. They float in the air and are spread through air conditioner vents throughout an entire home or building.

Germophobia With this huge emphasis on social distancing, masks, washing your hands frequently, not touching your face or

nose and quarantining of healthy individuals, we are creating a society of neurotic germophobes. On April 7th, Dr. Tony Fauci said, “I don’t think we should ever shake hands ever again.”6 He may be a germophobe himself and seems to be trying to promote germophobia among the population. Fauci and other government health bureaucrats are giving people the idea that the only way to win our battle with germs is to avoid them altogether. This is just ridiculous and impossible. Ever since the day you were born, you have been exposed to trillions of viruses and bacteria. They cover the skin, mouth and nasopharynx, large intestine and vagina. Germs by the billions are on your toothbrush, your remote control, your phone, your countertops, your rug, your mattress and pillows. Your pets are covered with germs. Their mouths are full of germs, and yet you let them crawl into bed with you and lick you on your face! Yes, germs are everywhere. You can’t sanitize your own home, much less the whole world, so you shouldn’t try. You haven’t died from your lifetime exposure to germs, because God has given you an immune system to protect yourself. The key to defeating COVID-19 isn’t wearing a mask, social distancing, obsessively washing your hands or never associating with more than a handful of people. The best way to fight COVID-19, the flu or any other infectious disease is to take charge of your health and strengthen your immune system. Some people say that COVID-19 is a new virus and your immune system can’t defend against it. This is poppycock. A healthy immune system attacks any and every invading germ.

The Government Relied onWorthless Projections The doom-and-gloom projections that the government has used to support the ill-conceived lockdown were dead wrong. British epidemiologist Neil Ferguson of the Imperial College London initially predicted in mid-March that more than 2.2 million Americans would die if no action were taken to stop the virus from spreading. By the way, Neil Ferguson resigned his position in disgrace on May 5th.7

At that time, Dr. Michael Levitt, 2013 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry and member of the faculty of Stanford University, disputed Ferguson’s predictions as totally unrealistic.8

Dr. John Ioannidis, a professor at Stanford Medical School, wrote in March that COVID-19 was far less deadly than Ferguson and others were projecting. He estimated that the U.S. fatality rate from the coronavirus would be comparable to the seasonal flu. Ioannidis wrote, “If that is the true rate, then locking down the world with potentially tremendous

social and financial consequences may be totally irrational. It’s like an elephant being attacked by a house cat. Frustrated and trying to avoid the cat, the elephant accidently jumps off a cliff and dies.”9

Both Dr. Levitt’s and Dr. Ioannidis’ estimations have been proven correct by the mathematical analysis performed by Dr. Ben Israel, professor of mathematics at Tel Aviv University. Dr. Israel published a study on April 14th which demonstrated that there were no significant differences in the incidence or death rate between countries that had locked down and those that hadn’t, such as Sweden, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.10

Knut Wittkowski, Ph.D., former head of the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Research Design at the Rockefeller Hospital in New York City, has written and warned in interviews that the current strategy of addressing the coronavirus situation has been wrong from the beginning. “There are no indications that this flu (COVID-19) is fundamentally different from any other flu. It is absurd to shut down the country for a flu during flu season.” He warns that “flattening the curve only extends the pandemic.” He promotes the development of herd immunity, which would develop quickly if the lockdown were eliminated.11

We also know that many more people have been infected than originally believed, and many of those who are testing positive for coronavirus antibodies never had any symptoms. This means that the fatality rate is much lower than initially reported. The fatality rate is the number of deaths from a disease over the number of cases of a disease. The numbers speak for themselves: • Expanded antibody testing in New York City reveals

that 21% of residents have been infected. This suggests the statewide fatality rate is as low as 0.5%, compared to previous estimates of nearly 5%.12

• Blood tests of 3,300 volunteers in Santa Clara, CA, in early April found that the percentage of people who had been infected was 50–85 times higher than the number of confirmed cases, lowering the fatality rate to 0.12–0.2%.

• In Los Angeles County, antibody tests are finding that the actual prevalence of infections is 28-55 times higher than confirmed cases, and that the fatality fate is just 0.1-0.3%.13

• German, Dutch, and French studies report similar results.

Fatality rates may be even lower because doctors have been told to list COVID-19 on death certificates as the cause of suspected death even in the absence of testing. In

other words, deaths from influenza, pneumonia and other causes are being attributed to COVID-19. Once all the numbers are in, many experts predict that the fatality rate will be similar to that of the annual flu. Cooking the Books? As of May 19, Texas had experienced 1,369 deaths attributed to COVID-19 out of a population of 30 million. New York has had 28,302 deaths attributed to COVID-19 out of a population of 20 million. New York has a COVID-19 death rate 50 times higher than that of Texas. How can there be such a tremendous discrepancy? Interestingly, the federal government pays an additional $13,000 to a hospital for every patient diagnosed with COVID-19. If a patient is placed on a respirator, then the hospital is paid an additional $39,000.14 You get more of what you incentivize. New York State and New York City are both broke. It appears that New York Governor Cuomo and New York City Mayor DeBlasio have been cooking the books in hopes that the federal government will bail them out of their financial crisis. Since the beginning of this manufactured health crisis, hospitals have been running 40-50% unoccupied and losing money hand over fist. You can be sure that the hospital administrators are encouraging their physicians to diagnose their sick and dying patients as having COVID-19. The CDC has also encouraged physicians to liberally use the diagnosis of COVID-19 in any patients who seem that they might have had it, including those who probably died of influenza or bacterial pneumonia. In one New York hospital, an emergency room physician was told by his hospital administrator to code all deaths as being caused by COVID-19. A large proportion of patients are presumed to have COVID-19 without any confirmatory tests. New York has 32% of all deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the United States with only 6% of the US population. How is this possible?

Risk of Dying From COVID-19 Is Low Although coronavirus-related deaths of younger people make headlines, they are quite rare. Dr. Ioannidis and other Stanford University researchers recently evaluated the death reports from several European countries and U.S. states and concluded, “People less than 65 years old have very small risks of COVID-19 death even in the hotbeds of the pandemic. Deaths for people less than 65 years without underlying

predisposing conditions are remarkably uncommon.”15

In Italy, for example, the average age of death related to COVID-19 is 81. The coronavirus fatality rate there in people younger than 65 with no preexisting conditions is just 0.7%. What if you are older but healthy? Although I am 69, I am not at all worried about COVID-19 because I eat healthy, whole foods, maintain my fighting weight, take immune-boosting vitamin and mineral supplements, replenish my hormones, including thyroid and testosterone, spend time playing golf in the sun and maintain a positive and enthusiastic attitude. All of these factors strengthen my immune system and enhance my overall health.

Social Distancing Delays Herd Immunity Dr. Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates and others are trying to convince us that the way to conquer the virus is mass vaccination with a vaccine that will not be available for 12 to 18 months. Until then, they are recommending against easing up on stay-home orders, warning that viral outbreaks will continue to pop up. That could be a long wait. Now Harvard researchers are reporting that a new computer modeling study indicates that we may have to maintain some degree of social distancing until 2022.16 Give me a break. There is a better way and Sweden, one of the few countries that did not buy into the lockdown panic, is a perfect example. Herd immunity develops when 70–80% of the population is immune to an infectious agent. The usual path to herd immunity is exposure to the infectious agent, infection and recovery. “Let the virus be the vaccine.” When you are exposed to a germ, your immune system has white blood cells that immediately attack the invading organism. Other immune system cells develop antibodies to the foreign invader, developing immunity. Whether or not you develop symptoms depends on the virulence of the infectious agent and the robustness of your immune response. Either way, these antibodies remain in your body. The next time you are exposed, your immune system identifies the invading organism and immediately jumps into action, attacking it and destroying it. If most of the population is immune, there is minimal chance that unprotected individuals will be exposed, and the disease is contained. This is herd immunity. Sweden’s well-thought out approach includes some voluntary restrictions, such as recommending that at-risk people stay home, but most schools, businesses and public places have remained open. The country is now

seeing a decline in cases and Chief Epidemiologist Dr. Anders Tegnell predicts the country will achieve herd immunity in a matter of weeks.17

Herd immunity could be developed if the lockdown were ended now and people returned to their normal lives.

Lockdowns Are Harming Our Health Governors in many states have discouraged “nonessential” medical procedures. Furthermore, thanks to fear and anxiety generated by this pseudo-crisis, patients are avoiding necessary medical care. Dr. Scott Atlas of Stanford University’s Hoover Institution wrote that patients staying home has “…prevented the diagnoses of life-threatening diseases, like cancer screening, biopsies of tumors now undiscovered and potentially deadly brain aneurysms. Treatments, including emergency care for the most serious illnesses, were also missed. Cancer patients deferred chemotherapy. An estimated 80% of brain surgery cases were skipped. Acute stroke and heart attack patients missed their only chances for treatment, some dying and many now facing permanent disability.”18

Some research suggests that lockdowns are actually increasing coronavirus transmission. German epidemiologist Prof. Hendrik Streeck reports that the greatest risk is among family members at home. The unintended consequences of the lockdown come at a high cost to public health. We have an increase in child molestation and spousal abuse. Alcoholism, depression and suicide are on the increase. Our economic and education systems are collapsing, and homelessness is on the rise. The collateral damage of the lockdown is significantly more detrimental to our society than this virus, which has proven to be similar to the flu virus.

Lockdowns Are Destroying OurEconomy and Way of Life It is the rare American who is suffering from an infection of COVID-19, but everyone is suffering from these unreasonable government policies. We are in dire straits. More than 36 million jobs have been lost, and the unemployment rate now exceeds 15%. The Federal Reserve economists have projected upwards of 50 million lost jobs and a 32% unemployment rate.19 At the height of the Great Depression in 1933, the unemployment rate was 25%. The destruction of our economy and our way of life will inevitably create social upheaval. Because of

recent bailouts of businesses, the annual federal deficit will be over $4 trillion dollars. As the old adage states, “The treatment is worse than the disease.” Three weeks before County Judge Lina Hidalgo of Harris County, in which Houston, Texas is located, banned in-dining service, Matt and Jen Brice opened their new restaurant, Federal American Grill at 8731 Katy Freeway. Six weeks after their restaurant had been shut down, they decided to reopen in defiance of Hidalgo’s order. If they didn’t reopen, they knew they would lose their life savings, which they had invested in their new restaurant. To show my support, I hosted a dinner party the night they reopened, April 24th, and enjoyed an excellent meal with extraordinary hospitality and guest service. That evening I interviewed Matt. He shared his sentiments, “Enough is enough. Small businesses are hurting desperately. It is time. People have to get back to work.”

Surveillance and Contact Tracing: Tyranny for Your Health Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and vaccination guru, has said that the lockdown should continue until everyone on the planet has been vaccinated against COVID-19. Of course, the only way that this can be accomplished is through mandatory vaccinations. Gates is advocating for a disease surveillance program, using a comprehensive testing system that would identify who has been vaccinated, and who has developed immunity to COVID-19. There has been a discussion about digitally embedding vaccination records in our bodies, using microchips. Individuals would be required to have either digital or paper vaccination certificates in order to hold a job, have a driver’s license or passport, or attend school. A Scientific American15 article dated December 18, 2019, entitled “Invisible Ink Could Reveal Whether Kids Have Been Vaccinated,” describes a new technology that could imbed immunization records into a child’s skin.20

The technology, described in a study published in Science Translational Medicine, consists of placing tiny light-reflecting semiconducting crystals that contain medical data beneath the skin.21

If Gates and others have their way, this could be used on the entire population. In essence, everyone would

be required to be “tattooed” with these crystals. This tattooing vaccination process would earn trillions of dollars for the pharmaceutical companies involved. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has invested heavily in worldwide vaccination efforts, including The Pirbright Institute, which holds a patent on a coronavirus vaccine. The Rockefeller Foundation released a white paper on April 21, 2020, entitled, “National COVID-19 Testing Action Plan, Pragmatic Steps to Reopen Our Workplaces and Our Communities.” This white paper was drafted after meetings with experts and leaders from science, industry, academia, public policy and government with a goal “to create a clear, pragmatic, data-driven actionable plan to beat back COVID-19 and get Americans back to work more safely.”22

While this sounds reasonable, it is really a plan to monitor, test and track the entire American population. Individuals would be identified through testing so that contact tracing could be performed when someone tests positive. A “1-3-30” plan is proposed in the white paper. Initially 1 million Americans would be tested per week, then 3 million per week, then 30 million per week, until the entire population has been tested and their data collected on computers. The Rockefeller Foundation wants to “coordinate this massive program as a wartime effort.” “Privacy concerns must be set aside.” An individual’s infection status would be “accessed and validated.” This infection status must be known “for people to participate in societal functions.” Make no mistake, this surveillance and tracking program is designed to be permanent. The Rockefeller Foundation’s white paper calls for the use of a digital “patient identification number,” without discussing how a person would carry this identification number. Bill Gates, of course, has advocated the use of an implantable vaccine certificate. Unbelievably, House Bill HR 6666 has been introduced into the U.S. Congress. You just can’t make this up. The bill is named the COVID-19 Testing, Reaching And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act. This bill is a clear violation of our constitutional rights. In Communist China, residents are already required to enroll in a “health condition registry” and receive a QR code that they must use to be able to access grocery stores and other places of business. If a digital patient identification number is implemented in the United States, then it would have far-reaching

implications. It could easily replace your driver’s license and your social security number. It would give the government access to your medical records. It could affect your finances and whether you can travel or be employed. It would be a totalitarian state of control, all in the name of protecting our health. C.S. Lewis wrote, “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

End the Lockdown! I have been speaking out against social distancing from day one. It’s time to get back to work, back to school and back to church. It’s time to let the coronavirus run its course so we can develop herd immunity, get the country back on its feet and begin displaying the independence and initiative that Texans and Americans are famous for. If you fear the coronavirus, you can stay home. Stay in your house indefinitely, wear a mask and socially distance yourself for as long as you want. Avoid restaurants and baseball games, malls and beaches and parks—it’s your choice. We are not “all in this together.” No one should be a prisoner of anyone else’s fear. Whether or not I get sick, it’s not because of you. It’s because of me and my immune system. This virus has been circulating around the world for months—probably since last September—and millions have already encountered it. You will have to confront it too, if you haven’t already. Unless you lock yourself up in your house and avoid all social contact, there is no way around it. Your fear is not an excuse to destroy America. Your fear is not my fear, and you do not have the right to interfere with my life, my job, my income or my future as a free American citizen. Please keep your fear contained to your little corner of the world and don’t let your fear contaminate the rest of society. Committed to your health and to restoring and protecting our God-given, unalienable Constitutional rights, I remain, as always, Sincerely yours,

My opposition to this manufactured health crisis is based upon my own research of the facts and the scientific evidence from experts. As a Christian patriot, a free enterprise conservative and a medical doctor who promotes natural approaches to healing, I can’t stand idly by while the lives of tens of millions of Americans, our economy and our God-given, unalienable constitutional rights are being destroyed. Over the past two months, I have been featured on national Fox News and on over 90 other radio and TV stations nationwide. My message has resonated with millions of Americans. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. But if this resonates with you, then stand up with me. Here’s an example of how you can make a difference. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, an avowed socialist, issued an order beginning April 27th requiring that we wear face masks in public and attached a $1,000 fine to any violation of this order. Immediately I filed a lawsuit against her order. The day it was to be enforced, she capitulated and removed any fines related to her order. On March 31, Gov. Abbott, with the support of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, closed tens of thousands of businesses and church services in Texas. Although they are now “allowing” them to open slowly, Abbott and Patrick have cost nearly 2 million lost jobs in Texas—and many will never return. Hundreds of thousands of businesses are on the verge of bankruptcy or have already gone bankrupt.

Abbott Signs $295 Million Contract for Contact Tracing Just when you think it can’t get any worse, Governor Abbott decided that he wants you to be monitoredand tracked. Please join me as a plaintiff in the federal lawsuit that I will be filing against Governor Abbott to stop his surveillance and contact tracing program. Abbott gave the go-ahead for the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to sign a $295 million, 27-month contract with MTX Group late last week to establish a surveillance and contact tracing program for the ostensible reason of controlling COVID-19 infections. MTX Group will develop a staff of 4,000 employees in Texas, consisting of epidemiologists, case investigators and contact tracers, by the end of May. MTX Group is a New York company based in Albany

that is managing contact tracing in New York. This contract is being paid for with funds from the federal government. Federal dollars mean federal control. It’s the golden rule. He who has the gold rules. Abbott agreed to this contract with MTX Group without consulting the Texas Legislature—and has stated that he and the Department of State Health Services have the authority to institute this program without legislative approval.

The Dark Side of Contact TracingAs MTX Group implements the surveillance and contact tracing program in Texas, they will begin tracking information on every child in public schools. There will be some sort of “health app” that every citizen will be required to download on their phones as well. This will build a public registry for future mandatory COVID-19 vaccination. Your movements and location will be monitored by the state by satellite. Every place of business, restaurant, church or public venue that you visit will require you to have the health app with a QR code before you can enter. Your location will be recorded by satellite at all times. If you were to test positive for COVID-19, then the government surveillance and contact tracing agency in your city or state would be notified by computer. The information on your phone would be accessed by the state computer system to determine where you have been over the past seven to 10 days. The computer program also surveils everyone else and will know who has come within six feet of you during that time period. Those individuals with whom you have been in contact will be contacted by a government contact tracer and tested. Even if they test negative, they will be required to quarantine for 14 days. If you tested positive and live in a home with your family and have only one bathroom, then you would be sent to a government-run quarantine location. If you have children, then Child Protective Services (CPS) would be involved. If your children could not be adequately separated from you while you quarantine at home, then they may be removed by a Temporary Emergency Possession Order until you have completed your quarantine and test negative. Those who are quarantined because they were in your presence or within six feet of you will be quarantined

for 14 days. If during the quarantine that person tests positive, then everyone with whom they had come in contact in the previous seven to 10 days would be visited by a contact tracer and also forced to quarantine themselves. It becomes a never-ending cycle. Who would want to eat at a restaurant, or shop at a store, knowing that a satellite is tracking your every move as well as everyone with whom you come within six feet of contacting? One day, some government contact tracer may visit your home and tell you that you must quarantine yourself because you came within six feet of someone at Home Depot that you didn’t even know who ended up with a COVID-19 infection. You can understand how businesses will suffer a loss of clientele in this situation. New COVID-19 cases and deaths are falling across Texas, across the U.S. and around the world. COVID-19 is running out of steam. We sure don’t need contact tracing now. The government can only want contact tracing to be able to monitor and control you in the future.

Let’s Stand Together Abbott with Patrick’s support has violated our constitutional rights in shutting down many businesses and church services. Article 1 Section 28 of the Bill of Rights of the Texas Constitution states, “No power of suspending laws in this state shall be exercised except by the Legislature.” Abbott had no authority to close your business or church. As a former Texas Attorney General and member of the Texas Supreme Court, he knows that he violated the Texas Constitution.

A lawsuit, Hotze et. al. v. Abbott, which includes over 300 plaintiffs who have joined me, has been filed against Gov. Abbott’s unconstitutional executive orders. This lawsuit has been filed in both state and federal courts and is currently before the Texas Supreme Court. Now, because of Abbott’s Orwellian plan to surveil, monitor, test and contact trace all Texans, just like the Communist Chinese do their citizens, I have instructed my attorney Jared Woodfill to file a federal lawsuit challenging this unconstitutional contact tracing program. • Call Governor Abbott at 512.463.1782 and Lt.

Governor Patrick at 512.463.0001. Tell them that you oppose their surveillance and contact tracing scheme.

• Please join me as a plaintiff in the federal lawsuit that I will be filing against Gov. Abbott to stop his surveillance and contact tracing program. You can join the lawsuit by sending your name, physical address, email address and mobile number to me at sfh@hotzehwc.com. Let me know that you want to join the contact tracing lawsuit. There is no charge for joining the lawsuit. However, in order to finance the lawsuit, we have set up a Go Fund Me page at gf.me/u/x2riy2.

Enough is enough! No surveillance, monitoring and contact tracing of Texans! Let’s get Texans back to work, back to school and back to church. Let Freedom Ring!

One thing the coronavirus has driven home is the importance of taking care of your health by strengthening your immune system. It has become increasingly clear that your odds of dying from COVID-19 are exceptionally slim, and most people who are infected have mild to moderate symptoms. Furthermore, life-threatening infections do not strike randomly but are linked with preexisting risk factors. COVID-19 is not the lethal threat it’s made out to be. Allow me to encourage you to be proactive and take charge of your health. The most important thing you can do is strengthen your immune system and increase your energy leveI.

Here are my recommendations for strengthening your immune system and increasing your energy level:

1. Healthy eating: Heed Hippocrates’ famous advice and “let food be your medicine.” Cut out sugars and simple carbohydrates that rapidly convert into sugar. Sugar promotes inflammation, depresses the immune system, raises blood sugar, promotes insulin resistance and stimulates fat storage. A high-carbohydrate diet is associated with obesity, heart disease and diabetes and their related complications of the kidneys, nerves, blood vessels and eyes.

2. Vitamin and mineral supplements: Daily, take vitamin A 10,000 IU, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C 1,000 mg per 25 pounds of body weight, vitamin D3 5,000–10,000 IU, zinc 30–60 mg and a potent probiotic supplement. All these nutrients enhance immune function and protect against respiratory infections. Dr. Hotze’s Immune Pak, which contains all of these in recommended doses, is available at hotzevitamins.com or by calling 800.579.6545.

3. Hormonal balance: Have your thyroid, adrenal and male/female hormones tested. Correcting imbalances, especially in thyroid hormones, can make a tremendous difference in your energy level, well-being and resistance to infection.

4. Treatment of airborne and food allergies. Allergies wear down your immune system. Identifying and treating them not only takes the load off your immune system, but also enhances your overall health and quality of life.

5. Exercise: Make physical activity part of your daily routine. You don’t have to go the gym to reap the benefits of exercise. Take brisk walks, jump rope, use hand weights or exercise bands, take YouTube video classes, mow your lawn—just stay active.

How to Protect Yourself

✓ Vitamin A 5,000 IU daily✓ Vitamin B Complex ✓ Vitamin C 1,000 mg, 6 daily✓ Vitamin D3 5,000 IU, 2 daily ✓ Zinc 30 mg daily✓ Probiotics 2 daily

All of these essential nutrients are included in Dr. Hotze’s Immune Pak, a powerful, comprehensive formula that supports your immune system. Research shows that these natural ingredients enhance multiple aspects of the immune response, providing the extra protection needed to help ward off infections, increase energy and maintain optimal health.

6. Sleep: Restful, rejuvenating sleep is essential. If you’re having trouble sleeping, try taking 1-3 mg of melatonin at bedtime. If you need additional help, give us a call.

7. Positive attitude: Be enthusiastic about life and kind, courteous and complementary to others. A positive outlook not only gives your own immune system a boost but also lifts those around you.

8. Advanced immune support: If your immune system is compromised, you will benefit from more intensive support, such as IV vitamin C, stem cell exosomes, Immune Peptide, UV blood irradiation and/or ozone therapy. Contact us for more information about these powerful therapies.

In conclusion, I want to underscore the importance for you to place your faith in God, trusting Him to protect you and your family. Pray for God’s protection and take charge of your own health. There is no reason in the world for you to live in fear. By following these recommendations, you will develop a strong immune system and experience excellent health.

Taking charge of your health is more important now than ever, and we want to support you in every way we can. At Hotze Health & Wellness Center, we specialize in using safe, natural therapies to strengthen your immune system and to improve your health, energy, vitality and resistance to disease.
