Twila Brase, R. N., is the founder and president of Citizens Council for Health Freedom.  She discusses whether there is an overcapacity crisis, where fired professionals will ultimately end up, whether patient safety has anything to do with the mandates, and how hospitals are coping with reduced staff. Are patients at risk? Certainly, when you show up at the ER you expect a certain level of care.  If a hospital is understaffed due to its own making, is this false advertising?  Brase says now more than ever family members need to be present with in patients around the clock as workers who are on the job are overworked and distracted with electronic medical record requirements.  Brase also says the “vaccine mandate” issue is not going away soon, even if big pharma manages to get its anti-viral treatments approved and the door finally opens for early treatment. Finally, Brase discusses the nationwide billboard campaign her organization is taking to inform the public they have a right not to buckle to vaccine pressure.    Sponsor:  Donor’s Trust donorstrust.org/Heartland

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph J. Ellis to discuss his new book, The Cause: The American Revolution and its Discontents, 1773-1783. They discuss how changes in British imperial policy lead to the war, how the war was incorrectly shaped, early on and by both sides, by beliefs about the militia the wariness many colonists felt toward the Continental Army, and the true political legacy of the war itself. They also chat about lesser-known heroes of the period, like John Dickinson, John Jay, Robert Morris, and Nathanael Greene.

315. Energy Crises at Home and Around the Globe

Nancy Cuzman, R.N., a 26-year veteran, lost her job at Tucson Medical Center because she decided the risks of the COVID-19 vaccine outweighed the benefits. As a 26-year veteran, Cuzman is not against vaccines, but she feels there are too many uncertainties about safety and effectiveness.   The hospital system gave employees an ultimatum: get the shot by September 1 or be considered “resigned.” Cuzman wrote a detailed letter asking for an exemption to no avail. She said it will be difficult to find a replacement job because most health care providers require the COVID-19 shots.  She believes her former employer will fight her claim for unemployment benefits.  The hospital system did not respond to an email request for answers.   Sponsor:  Donor’s Trust: donorstrust.org/Heartland

My Job or the Jab - One Nurse’s Story (Guest: Nancy Hossfeld Cuzman)

E. Calvin Beisner, Ph.D., founder & national spokesman for The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, gives a preview of his presentation at the Fourteenth International Conference on Climate Change titled, "Fossil Fuels in an Age of Climate-Change Alarm." Dr. Beisner will apply Christian ethics, especially regarding the poor, to debates about the relative costs and benefits of fossil fuels versus wind and solar in light of fears of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming.

Fossil Fuels in an Age of Climate-Change Alarm

This week, The Lancet made it clear how it regards the word “woman” in medical science.  On its cover, it pulled a quote from an article describing women as “bodies with vaginas.” The mainstream media barely noticed. That’s likely because the media was too busy promoting the idea that if you decline receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, you’re a kook. In fact, one media outlet went on Facebook to find unvaccinated victims who were admitted into the hospital. What it received was a bunch of comments from people who knew others who were harmed by the vaccine. Chad Savage, M.D., internist, policy advisor for The Heartland Institute, Docs4Patient Care Foundation, and president of DPC Action, discusses another example of what he calls classic propaganda in the publication Medscape. Savage and Schieber also share thoughts on the October 1 deadline of most employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine or lose their job and one hospital system’s “natural” response to preventing an exodus of workers.  Sponsor:  donorstrust.org/Heartland

Disturbing Great Reset Conversation Revealed. Your Life Is About to Change

Stratis Morfogen is a third-generation restaurant entrepreneur who, for the first time in his career, is having to wear the hat of the vaccine mandate police if he wants to stay in business.  This summer, New York City, and now Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New Orleans demand everyone to show proof of the COVID-19 vaccine to enter a restaurant, concert hall, museum or any public venue.  Morfogen, who owns dozens of restaurants, including Brooklyn Dumpling, Phillipe Chow, and Brooklyn Chop House describes, what an ordeal this has been.  The city provides no database, so restaurant owners have to use their own judgement in determining fake or real “vaccine certificates,” and woe to an owner who gets it wrong.  Morfogen has been threatened by a health care inspector with having his liquor license pulled for failing to do a better job of enforcement.  Morfogen also describes the dilemmas he faces when turning away customers who can’t get the vaccine, like one woman undergoing cancer treatment or another who had a positive COVID-19 antibody test and brought in proof. Morfogen is not against the vaccine, in fact, he received one and so have his children.  He is not against the vaccine even though his 83-year-old mother died this summer from Guillian Barre Syndrome after receive her second vaccine dose (the hospital refused to believe at first that the vaccine had anything to do with the woman’s sudden symptoms and quick deterioration).  Additionally, the NYC mandate has sent a chill among his customer base:  black Americans.  Polls show black Americans are highly skeptical of the vaccine and have one of the lowest compliance rates among demographic groups.  Morfogen says 80 percent of his clientele are black and the mandate has personally impacted his business.  In a city where “stop and frisk” was ended by Mayor DeBlasio, Morfogen says he is puzzled why the city forces black Americans to get receive a medical product they don’t trust. Morfogen also discusses why he stays in New York City, despite the vaccine mandates, the COVID-19 lockdowns, the mask mandates, and rising crime due to lack of police support and declining economic activity.  He feels positive about the future but has reservations about the road ahead.
