August 19, 2021 Chairman Lipps, Vice Chair Holmes, Ranking Member Russo, and Members of the House Health Committee, thank you for the opportunity to provide proponent testimony on House Bill 248. My family and I are asking that Ohio HB248 be passed in order to protect the individual freedoms we currently have as American citizens. I work in a corporate setting and my husband owns a small business. We have two young daughters who are relying on us to provide for them and protect their rights. I support this bill in hopes that they can grow up with the same liberties we have had. Segregation and discrimination over individual health choices should be taken seriously and passing this bill is key to avoiding those types of issues in the future. I am not a scientist, but I am a mom, a wife, and a daughter who takes the health of my family very seriously. I have done extensive amounts of research on the SARS-COV2 virus and subsequent vaccines. There are also many health experts that provide me with helpful information. I am sure you are receiving many testimonies about the large numbers of vaccine injuries and even deaths that have occurred during this vaccine campaign. Personally, I know two women who have had severe menstrual issues (requiring surgery) that they can connect back to occurring right after the vaccine. My friends’ cousin passed away at only 23 years old from an enlarged heart after receiving the vaccine. The stories go on and on. The point is that no legislation should force my family and I to inject ourselves with substances that have side effects such as this. No legislation should allow us to be discriminated against because we choose more natural means of building our immunity. No legislation should segregate “us” and “them”, just because we have found other treatment options for this virus. Please keep freedom and personal choice at the forefront of our communities. I would never stop someone choosing to get the vaccine, just as nobody should force me (or my family) to get it. To communicate why my family and I (and many friends/coworkers/etc) support this freedom, I have included the evidence that a natural health expert has compiled from many sources. I feel compelled to share what I believe is the most thorough reporting on this subject matter in order to make others aware of information that may not be as widely circulated. Thank you for taking the time to read my reasoning for supporting this bill. You have the power in your hands to either segregate society or continue in freedom. ~Melissa Ossman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information below is written by: Ryan Sternagel “Last year the signs on the store said everyone has to wear a mask. Now they say you can come in freely if you’re vaccinated, but wear a mask if you’re unvaccinated. After the fear gets ramped back up over the Delta and other variants, the signs will say you can only come in if you’re vaccinated. One class of society will enjoy the benefits (such as feeding their families with groceries) that the other does not. Segregation for the 21st century. This is already underway in France, and the rhetoric is ramping up around the world. I know you all are good people who believe you’re helping people, and that is to be commended. However, we all know the saying about where good intentions can, unfortunately, lead (if based on false information). When you are called to segregate society, how will you respond? 1 • Will you tell a young single mother of three with a family history of vaccine reactions who’s been previously infected that she needs to get these injections in order to go to work and buy groceries? • Will you tell an elderly person who already had a horrific reaction to the first round that now he needs his booster to see his grandchildren? • Are you going to continue to insist that children, who have no chance whatsoever of dying from this infection, need to receive these injections? • Another question for you to think about tonight – when in history has the side censoring information ever been the good guys? • Is the deleting of online information, not the modern-day book burning? Is this not exactly what was foretold in 1984? The medical findings around The Nuremberg Trials revolved around LACK of informed consent: • COMPLETE disclosure of risks • RISKS must be comprehended • FREE willingness to accept or reject the product • CANNOT be coerced or enticed How has the county’s response to the crisis to date measured up to these monumentally important standards? Will your response going forward change? Or will you continue down the same dark path? You DO have a choice, by the way. There’s always a choice. And the choices we make in life, the actions we take in the real world and the harm or lack thereof they have on others, regardless of circumstance or intention, are all that really matter when our time here is up. There’s right, and there’s wrong, good and evil, and very often it is indeed that simple. “Just following orders” has been consistently deemed an unacceptable justification for one’s actions throughout history, after all. I speak for a large segment of the county in making the following two calls to you: • Publicly denounce any and all forms of segregation, immediately. • Discontinue all government involvement with the injections known as COVID-19 vaccines. Leave this private medical decision between families and their doctors, as it always has been. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The government and media are now shifting the blame of the crisis entirely towards “the unvaccinated” (including children), and the concept of “vaccine passports” combined with door to door visits is where things are clearly headed (combined with now starting to hear about the need for booster shots)… I believe the quality of the information below will speak for itself. I have amassed a considerable amount of new data I feel is vital to share with you, because as we all know, people’s lives are at stake, and many, many have already been lost. I have categorized, and summarized all links below for your convenience, as I want to make sure I am giving you every possible opportunity to take this information in. Although most of what I am focusing on here pertains to the injections specifically, with talk about masks starting to flare back up, particularly in regard to the upcoming school year, a couple of new interesting studies have come about since my last email, so I thought I’d start there. 2 Face Mask Safety Extremely Dangerous CO2 Intake Found in Children Wearing Face Masks This study was published in The Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics. The generally accepted limit for CO2 levels is 2,000 ppm, with anything above that being deemed unacceptable. This study found the mean CO2 intake in a child wearing a face mask to be over 13,000 ppm. The youngest children in the study had the highest levels, with one seven-year-old reaching 25,000 ppm. These levels were achieved within three minutes of wearing the masks, and as we know, children in school are made to wear these masks for hours on end. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2781743 Disease-Causing Pathogens Founds on Childrens’ Face Masks A group of concerned parents had their childrens’ masks analyzed (after one day of use) by the University of Florida. Of the six masks analyzed, three contained pathogenic strains of bacteria, and two contained antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. A total of 96 unique strains, 21 of them pathogenic, were found on the masks collectively. Note that although these tests were also capable of detecting viruses, only one was found. https://rationalground.com/dangerous-pathogens-found-on-childrens-face-masks/ Vaccine Necessity One of the most troubling observations many have made throughout this crisis, is that vaccination continues to be pushed as the sole solution to the problem, while any evidence, no matter how credible, suggesting otherwise is ignored, shunned and now increasingly outright censored. COVID Has a 99.9+% Survival Rate https://faculty.utrgv.edu/eleftherios.gkioulekas/zelenko/aaps-Guide-to-Home-Based-Covid- Treatment.pdf See the CDC’s most recent “Current Best Estimate” numbers in the table linked here. There are very credible analyses with even higher survival rates, but even by the CDC’s own numbers, this is no different from any other respiratory illness. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html#table-1 The Absolute Risk Reduction From Vaccination is Only 1% This piece published in The Lancet explains that while the relative risk reduction (which is what is being advertised and repeated) from vaccination is 95%, the absolute risk reduction is 1%. Relative risk reduction is a classic drug company sleight of hand that’s used to make their drugs sound more beneficial than they are in reality. Relative risk reduction only takes a certain segment of the population into account, whereas absolute risk takes the entire population into account, and is the more honest and transparent way to use statistics in reporting a benefit. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(21)00069-0/fulltext Early Treatment Drastically Improves Outcomes The documented evidence of a wide array of modalities’ effectiveness in treating the disease is overwhelming, yet again, is outright refused by the medical establishment and media. This real-time analysis of a combined 749 studies shows a range of 41% to 92% reduction in mortality depending on the modality.
