The Satanic Roots to Modern Medicine – The Mark of the Beast?

All the symbols and emblems for modern medicine have one thing in common: a serpent. Some, like the Caduceus, have two serpents around a staff, while others, like the rod of Asclepius, have only one serpent. There are various interpretations as to the difference in meaning between the two, as well as the history of their origins, but the oldest reference to the serpent and its role in human suffering or healing, is contained in the earliest records of the Bible, in the writings of Moses, who is credited with writing most of the first 5 books of the Old Testament portion of the Bible around 3500 years ago. Since these writings pre-date anything written in Greek mythology by almost 1000 years, I am going to base this article on the Bible, the oldest and the most widely circulated and most frequently translated collection of ancient writings in the world, by far, with no serious competitors in ancient or modern literature. If that bothers you, no need to read further. We will see from the ancient wisdom of the Bible, that the serpent representing Satan is the ultimate anti-Christ, that he is weaker than Jesus Christ who is portrayed in the Bible as both the Son of Man and the Son of God, and that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ broke the power of Satan over sickness and death. Satan has yet to be judged and sent to his eternal punishment in a place called Hell, and there awaits a final battle between Jesus Christ, the ruler of the Kingdom of God, and Satan, the current ruler of the World System. The Kingdom of God originates in Heaven, but also extends to earth and exists in the lives of the true believers of Jesus Christ. In addition to the physical world, there exists a spiritual world (or universe), and every living human being currently inhabiting the planet either resides in the spiritual Kingdom of Darkness ruled by Satan, or in the spiritual Kingdom of Light ruled by Jesus Christ. Revelation Chapter 13 talks about the "mark of the beast," where "beast" could also be translated into the English word "serpent." "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name." (Revelation 13:16-17) I am not going to delve into the controversial topics of prophecy or theology in this article. Instead, I am going to show just what the image of the "serpent" represents, its place in modern medicine, and how if one wants to resist being part of the Satanic system that may require everyone to accept some kind of "mark," then you are probably going to need to prepare yourself to stop using the medical system completely. I realize that we have been conditioned to believe that we cannot survive without pharmaceutical drugs and the medical system, but I assure you it is possible. I have not used the medical system in many years, and have not carried health insurance (by choice) for over 20 years, and I have survived! It is my belief after many years of research and teaching on this subject, that for every patented pharmaceutical drug making billions of dollars for the medical system, that there are natural remedies created by God found in nature that are actually more effective, especially if we stop believing in the allopathic germ-theory of disease, and realize that health is much more than just the condition of our physical bodies.

Dr. Vernon Coleman: Your Government Wants You Dead – BANNED from YouTube

Dr. Vernon Coleman is a general practitioner medical doctor in the U.K. He is a Sunday Times bestselling author, and has written over 100 books which have sold over two million copies in the U.K. alone. His U.K. publishers include: PAN, Penguin, Corgi, Arrow, Star, Mandarin, Macmillan, Century, Thames and Hudson, and Sidgwick and Jackson. His books have been translated into 25 languages and sell in over 50 countries. Dr. Coleman has been exposing the fraud in the COVID Plandemic since the beginning of the "outbreak," and many of his videos on YouTube have now been banned and are hard to find. That includes one he just published a few days ago: Your Government Wants You Dead. In this video, he correctly labels what has just happened to hundreds of thousands of seniors worldwide who have just died during the COVID Plandemic as a "holocaust." It is time to stop sanitizing this, and using the correct terminology, even if the corporate media labels us as "conspiracy theorists," or even worse, as having a "mental illness" for not believing the Government narrative on the Coronavirus. I don't know about you, but I much prefer to be among the minority standing up for the truth, no matter what the cost, than be among the majority who are being complicit to mass murder. Corrie ten Boom and other noble Germans who sacrificed everything to expose the tyranny in Nazi Germany, rather than comply and go along with the crowd, are our examples to follow during these dark, evil days. Even though YouTube has deleted this recent video from his YouTube channel, we found some copies of it still remaining, and added one to Bitchute, which is fast becoming one of the main alternatives to hosting videos banned on YouTube, and thus far has not succumbed to censorship and government pressure.

CENSORED: COVID19 PCR Tests are Scientifically Meaningless – Everything We’ve Been Told about COVID is a HOAX!

In what should be HEADLINE news coverage in every single major news organization across the globe, the Independent publication "Off-Guardian," which describes their organization as: "Unlike the Guardian we are NOT funded by Bill & Melinda Gates, or any other NGO or government - OffGuardian was launched in February 2015 and takes its name from the fact its founders had all been censored on and/or banned from the Guardian’s ‘Comment is Free’ sections," published an article on Saturday, June 27, 2020, titled: COVID19 PCR Tests are Scientifically Meaningless - Though the whole world relies on RT-PCR to “diagnose” Sars-Cov-2 infection, the science is clear: they are not fit for purpose. We have covered this topic of inaccurate COVID tests previously, of course, and when I first saw this article pop up in my news-feed over the weekend, I made a note to come back and read it in full, expecting that I would find more of the same evidence that we have already published on this topic, that there is no clear evidence that COVID tests are accurate. Boy was I wrong! This investigative, highly researched article goes way beyond just pointing out that the evidence is lacking regarding the accuracy of COVID tests currently in the market. They actually prove, beyond a shadow of doubt, that the PCR test which is considered the "gold standard" in COVID testing, is completely "meaningless." This must be the most censored information published to date regarding the COVID Plandemic! We are at WAR, America! And the sooner the sleep-walking public wakes up and starts REFUSING to participate in their own destruction, the sooner we can begin to take our country back. But to do so, we need to stop fighting each other, and recognize who the REAL enemy is.

Dr. Theresa Deisher on the use of Aborted Fetal Tissue in Vaccines: Babies are Born at 5-6 Months Old Alive with Beating Hearts and No Anesthesia

This is a very important interview between Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Dr. Theresa Deisher regarding the use of human fetal tissue to culture viruses for vaccines, because Dr. Deisher reveals that human DNA fragments are found in vaccines. Most of the COVID vaccines being developed are using human fetal tissue to culture the coronavirus. One of the more interesting questions Mr. Kennedy asked Dr. Deisher was why the manufacturers of vaccines switched from exclusively using animal tissue to culture viruses for vaccines, to start using aborted fetal tissue some years back. Dr. Deisher's reply was that the industry was getting a lot of pressure from the animal rights movement to stop using animals for experimentation. Mr. Kennedy was shocked, and stated: "It's kind of weird to think that the animal rights activists have more clout with the vaccine companies than do the anti-abortion activists." Dr. Deisher replied: "They do. And you know what's really alarming is the lack of outcry over human babies born alive at five to six months old so that their hearts can be obtained beating. And they have to be beating to be used in the research that's being done. If the heart has stopped beating, it's not useful. You cannot use it. And so these babies are delivered alive, and their hearts cut out without anesthesia. I wouldn't do that to a mouse...."

Virginia Has Provided the Nation with the Template for Mandatory Vaccines: Democracy Sacrificed for Medical Tyranny

Virginia has now provided the nation with a blueprint on how to mandate a COVID vaccine, or any vaccine for that matter, even if the public is 100% against it. Hand over the decision to unelected medical authorities, and let them make the decision, even if it is not supported by the electorate, for the sake of the "greater good." These unelected medical authorities exist in pretty much every community across the United States as members of the local "Board of Health." These "Board of Health" medical authorities have been granted almost unlimited power to dictate medical intervention against the will of the public, and even against the will of elected officials. These tyrannical medical authorities along with their cronies in politics (in Virginia, Governor Ralph Northam, himself a medical doctor, appointed the members of the Board of Health) continue the false narrative that they know what is best for the community, and that opposition to vaccines comes from uninformed parents, completely ignoring the fact that many of these parents are themselves medical doctors, scientists, attorneys and other professionals in the community. If these medical tyrants even acknowledge the fact that these parents represent children damaged or killed by vaccines, their response is similar to what Virginia legislator Dawn Adams, a PhD nurse practitioner, stated publicly: "We have to do the best job we have for the most people [and this] sometimes results in unintended consequences, and that is a tragedy and [an] across-the-board reality in medical care." So what do you say Americans? Are you going to comply with medical tyranny and potentially sacrifice the health, and maybe even the death, of your children on a fast-tracked COVID vaccine for "the greater good"?

Google Search is the Greatest Mind Control Brainwashing Tool in the History of Mankind

Operation Mockingbird and other sources have conclusively shown over the years that television media has been the primary way the CIA and other secret intelligence agencies have utilized to shape current cultural thought of the masses. Corporate news organizations and the Hollywood entertainment industries have been doing this for decades, and it is a well-known fact. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Internet became more popular as more and more of the world's information, news, and data became digitized. Technology began to be developed to search through the massive volumes of data that were being digitized and put on the Internet, and soon the Internet became known as "The Great Equalizer" to combat the propaganda of the corporate giants controlling information flowing through radio and TV. Larry Page and Sergey Brin were students at Stanford University in California during this time, and they developed software code that allowed one to return Internet searches very quickly. Investors were investing heavily into tech companies during that time, and Page and Brin took advantage of that to secure large investors for their new Internet search company, Google. Google was presented to the public as an ethical, altruistic company in their early days. We trusted them as the "great equalizer" to quickly find information to combat the corporate propaganda we knew was being filtered through the "mainstream" corporate propaganda media. They quickly dominated the world in terms of search engine searches, so much so that their name became a verb synonymous with finding unbiased information: "Go Google it." Today, most of the world's online digital data is housed in the vast clouds of Google servers. But what if the controller of data was no longer simply offering up search results based on matching information, but was controlling that information to display search results that they wanted you to see, while suppressing other information they did not want you to see? If that were to happen, we would have a company much more powerful in terms of its ability to manipulate data as propaganda and steer people's thoughts and attitudes far more pervasively than anything the old corporate TV media could ever do. And that is exactly what is happening today, as Google's values are clearly on display by the information they censor, and by displaying what they want you to see, and they have been complicit in spreading the misinformation about the Plandemic, as it is obvious to see that their goals and values align with Big Pharma and the New World Order.

New World Order Continues to be Published: The “Great Reset” – Transhumanism and the 4th Industrial Revolution

Our world continues to change right before our eyes at lightning speed. As we have previously reported, there is a plan behind everything that is happening, and that plan is for a New World Order that is not even a "conspiracy" theory any longer, as the global leaders planning and implementing this have come out into the open and published it. One major event happening right now is not in the headlines much, and that is the unprecedented amount of "new" money the Federal Reserve is creating out of thin air and pumping into the economy. This is not a new "trick," but something we have seen in the past, particularly in 2007 and 2008 with the economic stimulus packages that bailed out banks. But the amount of money being created right now is unprecedented and at least 3X more than we have ever seen at any other point in recent history, and we aren't even done yet! Another 1 trillion dollars in economic stimulus is in the works as I write this. Usually when this much money is being pumped into the economy, which in the past was mainly to prop up failing businesses that were deemed "too big to fail," hyperinflation is right around the corner. And we may be seeing the beginning signs of this, as today, Sunday June 7th, the Economic Policy Journal is reporting that air fares are set to double: "Air Travel Prices Set To Double: U.S. Europe $2,200 Economy Fare" But this time we are seeing not just businesses being bailed out, but a huge transfer of wealth with hundreds of billions being given to the pharmaceutical industry, mainly to develop new COVID vaccines. Since all of these crises are obviously being planned with a clear goal being put into place, from the Plandemic to the recent riots in America's cities which don't seem to want to die down and are continuing, the big question is: What is the end game to all this transfer of wealth? Well, we do not need to wonder any longer, because the Globalists working out of Geneva, Switzerland, have just met under the World Economic Forum, the same group that worked with the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation late last year at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and ran a simulation to predict the COVID-19 outbreak before it even began, and they have announced that it is now time to "reset" the world's economy to a new one. This "resetting" of the world's economy will include switching over to digital currency and eliminating cash, a redistribution of wealth, and reducing the size of the world's population to combat "global warming" and usher in the New World Order. It also includes launching the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which seeks to integrate computers and artificial intelligence with human beings, called Transhumanism.

The Myth of Right vs. Left, Liberal vs. Conservative – Top 9 Myths Believed by BOTH Sides to Usher in a New World Order

I have previously written about how the events unfolding very rapidly before us today are not accidental events, but planned events with a very specific goal, a New World Order. The New World Order is being planned by very rich and very influential people who have been planning this for a long time. They want to reduce the world's population and establish a single government to rule the world, along with a single belief system. I have unmasked who is at the top of this group as well, and if you have not read that article which was published earlier this week (June 2020), please read that first to understand the context from which this article is based. "Unmasking Who is Behind the Plandemic and Rioting to Usher in the New World Order." These global leaders, known as the Illuminati, control the world's monetary system, and they fund the wars of the world as well, funding both sides. Wars are the primary way that they transfer the wealth of the common people to the richest 1% of the world. While the history of these forces can be traced really all the way back to the beginning of the human race, the modern struggles that have caused wars started in Europe in the 1700s which funded the revolutions of most European kingdoms, and ushered in World War I, followed by World War II which started the beginning of the Industrial Age. Since World War II there have been many regional wars that consolidated wealth for the rich central bankers, but war has also been redefined several times in more recent history with the "Cold War" relations between the U.S. and the old Soviet Union, the "War on Terror" after 911, and most recently this year, 2020, the War Against the Unseen Enemy: The Coronavirus. To make money from these wars, the Globalists who control the world's monetary supply need conflict (something to stand for and fight against), and a large military to manage the wars. As I discussed in the article "Unmasking Who is Behind the Plandemic and Rioting to Usher in the New World Order," the political thought that is behind today's political divide of "Left vs. Right" was written and put into action by the secret society known as the Illuminati back in the 1700s. While there are obviously real differences between the two parties, both sides end up with the same result: A New World Order run by the Illuminati who control the monetary system through the central banks. Most people holding to one side or the other in this political debate don't even know that the end result is the same, and that the real struggle against tyranny lies elsewhere. So here are what I call my "Top Nine Myths" that I believe we have been conditioned to believe as true, and that are believed and seldom questioned by either side of this fake political debate between Right and Left, and what makes up the two political parties. The Left and the Right both have a common enemy, an enemy I exposed in the "Unmasking" article. And the longer we keep fighting each other and blaming each other for society's problems, the stronger he becomes.

The New World Order: Creating a Crisis so the Rich Get Richer While Millions Lose Their Jobs

Earlier this week I published a report about how the plan to develop a "New World Order" through the United Nations is no longer a conspiracy "theory," as the plans have been published, and the whole coronavirus response has been exposed as a "Plandemic." One of the major results of the Plandemic has been that the world's wealthiest people have instantly increased their wealth, while at the same time millions have lost their jobs, and tens of thousands of small businesses have failed. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. reported earlier this week: "This nationwide, extended quarantine has permanently shuttered over 100,000 small businesses, cost 38 million jobs and 27 million Americans their health care. The Super Rich elite are flourishing while a despairing middle class flounders. According to a report by Americans for Tax Fairness, billionaires are watching their wealth compound beyond imagination. Between March 18, when lockdown began, and May 19, the combined net worth of Bill Gates (Microsoft), Jeff Bezos (Amazon) Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway) and Larry Ellison (Oracle) grew by $75.5 billion. According to Forbes data, the total wealth of the 630 U.S. billionaires jumped by $434 billion—15%—from $2.948 trillion to $3.382 trillion. Tech stocks are the most bullish about the Surveillance State. Microsoft (Bing), Facebook and Amazon are facilitating our devolution into militarized oligarchy by enforcing censorship against all expressions of dissent." Dr. Ron Paul, a former U.S. Congressman, says that the "Deep State" is able to do this through the Central Banking of the Federal Reserve, as the Globalists control the world's monetary supply. He explains how without the Federal Reserve, and their ability to create money out of thin air, the coronavirus response never could have been accomplished. Dr. Paul covered the Federal Reserve's role in the Plandemic in his daily broadcast today, The Liberty Report. And now just this week a new crisis has emerged that has destroyed businesses in one major city already, and threatens to expand across the nation because of the tragic death of a young man that was filmed and broadcast around the country due to police brutality.

New York City Attorney Explains How to Sue the System When Children are Kidnapped by the State

Many parents feel that what we experienced at the hands of child welfare was unjust but that there’s nothing we can do about it. We wanted to find out if that was true, so we interviewed David Lansner, a family court lawyer in New York City and one of the few lawyers in the country that brings lawsuits against the child welfare system on behalf of individual parents and children.  Lansner explained that the bar for suing is very high. But he also told us about some parents and children who sued and won. And he gave us a lesson in history and government in the process.  Here’s what he had to say.

Texas Homeschool Families Take Back Their Public Park and Defy Orders to Leave as Police Back Down

Daniel McAdams writes about how his family and a group of about 35 people who are all homeschool families in Texas took their children to the local park to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, and tore down police tape that tried to prevent them from using a public park. They knew that neither the police nor anyone else had any legal authority to close the park or rope it off like that. Two police came and asked them to leave, and they responded the way every person in the U.S. should respond to such coronavirus edicts that have no legal authority: They stood their ground and refused to leave. They even rebuked the officer who asked them if they were "anti-vaxxers," as if that had anything to do with playing in the park! The police did not dare arrest such a large group, especially with mothers holding their babies in their arms, so after conferring with the chief of police, they concluded that they could stay. What a great lesson for these homeschooled children on how to stand up against tyranny! Now if we could just get the rest of the country to follow their example, we could get this economy up and running again very quickly.  Tyrants need a compliant public to get their way, so what are you waiting for America! Does liberty mean anything to you anymore? Oh, and by the way, the name of the park in Texas where this happened? Freedom Park.

The UN “New World Order” Has Now Been Published: No Longer a “Conspiracy Theory” – Out of Shadows

Now that we are a few months into the global Coronavirus event, it is time to pause for a minute and consider how we got here, and why. First, if you have been following Health Impact News throughout this entire time, you will know that this was a planned event, and therefore it is not a true "pandemic," but what many now in the alternative media are calling a "plandemic." Those who have been warning for many years that there is a concentrated global group of powerful people who want a global one-world government to control and rule every single person on the planet have been tagged with the pejorative term "conspiracy theorist," a term thought to be first used by the CIA labeling people who did not believe the official media and government reports on President John F. Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas in 1963. However, during the height of the plandemic this past March, with almost no mention in the corporate media, the United Nations published a new website called: The United Nations New World Order. They issued a Press Release via PR Newswire: United Nations NWO (UNNWO) Launches COVID 19 Coronavirus Focused International Day of Happiness 2020 Campaign Theme HAPPINESS FOR ALL TOGETHER. The desire of a group of very powerful people to establish a one-world government, which also requires reducing the size of the world's population to a more controllable size, is no longer a "conspiracy theory." They are no longer hiding their intentions, and one of their leaders in particular, Bill Gates, is being courted by the corporate media and bringing his desires and intentions out into the open with seemingly no fear whatsoever. Will they succeed?

Bill Gates Documentary Reveals Ties to Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Eugenics Movement

An independent media publisher named "Grace" who goes by reallygraceful on YouTube has produced what is the best documentary on the history of Bill Gates that I have seen so far. I have never met Grace, and Health Impact News does not necessarily agree with all of her commentary (we don't necessarily disagree either!), but these 3 short videos, which have been very-well produced, come with plenty of references to document the things she is revealing, and we will copy the references here as well, before YouTube removes these videos. Please contact us if the videos do disappear, and we will provide an alternative platform to view them. Also, the Social Media tech giants are suppressing much of our traffic these days on places like Facebook, and our emails also are increasingly being blocked, so be sure to read my article about how to use RSS feeds to continue receiving our articles.

Another COVID Small Business Casualty: The American Christian Church

All across the U.S. small businesses are failing because they closed down during the COVID-19 situation. In some sectors, such as the restaurant industry, it is estimated that more than 50% of these small businesses will never re-open. Today I am going to write about one of the largest groups of small businesses that have also been hit hard by closing down during this "crisis" - the American Christian Church. American churches today are businesses, mostly non-profit small businesses. Hence, they are corporations setup just like other American businesses, requiring licenses and subject to the laws of the U.S. and their respective states. As we have seen recently, the government authorities can shut them down farily easily. The true body of Christ, however, is not a 501c3 non-profit church business. It is a living organism of believers not dependent on any business, and the leader is Jesus who rules from Heaven and empowers his people with supernatural power. This organism is not so easily defeated, if they function together as a body.

How to Beat Internet Censorship and Create Your Own Newsfeed

Back in January of this year (2020) we reported about Event 201, a pandemic simulation which was hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This event took place about 6 weeks BEFORE the first cases of COVID-19 were reported in Wuhan China. As I have previously written, almost everything that was predicted at this pandemic simulation event has now occurred, except one: an Internet blackout. The most likely reason that an Internet blackout has not occurred yet, is because the American public, and indeed the world population, was very compliant and voluntarily locked themselves down in their own homes - something that has never before happened. With a compliant public, an Internet blackout would have done more harm than good, as the bandwidth on the Internet was pushed to its limits with everyone suddenly working from home via the Internet, and entertainment streaming services seeing a record high demand as people voluntarily complied and stayed home. Shutting off the Internet would have been counterproductive, as it would have made people angry and quite possibly led them out their homes back on to the streets to start protesting sooner. As a result, more and more people were able to research what was really going on, and find alternative accounts of the news different from what was being spoon fed to them through the corporate media and television networks. This has increased the corporate news organizations and their Big Tech alliances with companies such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google to increase their efforts to censor dissenting voices, such as what we publish here at Health Impact News. As a result, many of our articles are now censored and not allowed on Facebook, Twitter, Google (who owns YouTube) and Pinterest (Pinterest has banned us completely). In addition, emails from the domains of our news sites, like healthimpactnews.com, are also being suppressed, and many of the larger Big Tech "free" emails like hotmail.com and yahoo.com no longer allow us to email our newsletters or respond to inquiries. So how do you beat this Internet censorship?

Idaho Mom Arrested for Children Playing in the Park

Sara Brady, a mother from Meridian, Idaho, was arrested on Tuesday, April 21st, after she joined a large group of parents in protesting Idaho’s Coronavirus Stay-At-Home order through a planned “Playdate Protest.”  The City of Meridian closed their playgrounds in March, in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19, because of fears that the virus may live on plastic surfaces (such as plastic slides) for several days. Planned as a protest of Idaho’s Stay-at-Home order, through the Idaho Freedom Foundation and Health Freedom Idaho, a group of several dozen parents went to a closed playground at Kleiner Park in Meridian, Idaho, and “took back” the playground area - removing police tape that marked it as closed - so that their children could play.  Sara Brady was part of that group of parents. When told to leave the playground by an officer from the Meridian Police Department, Sara refused compliance and questioned authority to close the playground, citing her right to be in public spaces despite the statewide Stay-At-Home order issued by Idaho Governor Brad Little on March 25th. After Sara was repeatedly told to go away from the playground, and she still refused, she was arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing. Sara was forced to leave her young children in the park with the other protestors, while the police booked her into the Ada County Jail in Boise. Miste Gardner-Karlfeldt from Health Freedom Idaho points out “It was completely irresponsible for the police officer to arrest a mother without allowing her to first be sure that her children were taken care of. He showed callous disregard for the kids’ wellbeing.” Sara Brady tearfully shared her fears with the crowd at the Meridian City Hall protest after her arrest, “It’s just been scary for me, watching what has been going on. Because we live in a country we have to turn over to our kids. My kids saw me get arrested today for just being a mom in a park. What kind of an America is this?” “Do we want to live in an America like this?” she asked. “Our kids deserve better.”

Doctors and First Responders Losing Custody of Their Children Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 continues to keep people in isolation, but it is also being used to separate mother’s and father’s from their children. March 25, 2020, MedicalKidnap.com brought you the story of a mother who had her two children removed from her home for the simple fact that she worked in a healthcare clinic. Armed with a removal order, signed by a judge, a Child Protection Services (CPS) social worker and police showed up at this Oklahoma mother’s home at 10:00PM to remove her two daughters. Since our original story, more and more families are speaking out about how they have to fight to keep custody of their children when ex-spouses use the Coronavirus in an attempt to gain sole custody. In most cases, the parent, doctors, firefighters and other first responders have no idea the ex-spouse is filing a motion, petitioning the court for sole custody, until it is too late. In a story by Megan Twohey, published by The New York Times, April 7, 2020, several parents spoke out about how ex-spouses are using COVID-19 to separate them from their children. Is this the way first responders fighting the COVID-19 pandemic should be treated?

Family Court Shutdown due to Coronavirus Could Cause Termination of Parental Rights for Countless Families

Federal laws require states to initiate termination of parental rights when a child has been in foster care for 15 of the last 22 months. With family courts shutting down across the country due to the Coronavirus outbreak, delaying reunification and adjudication hearings, could families face termination of their parental rights without due process? CPS must have a signed order by a judge in order to remove a child from their home, unless the agency feels a child is in imminent danger, at which time the agency can proceed with an “emergency removal." The agency must then seek the approval of a judge on the following business day. At that time, the family is likely assigned an attorney or has already sought legal counsel to contest the removal and petition the court to return the child home.  With the potential spread of COVID-19, family courts have closed or reduced caseloads. According to the report by Kramer, regarding a statement from the New York State Office of Court Administration, judges are holding hearings by phone and video, only on “essential/emergency” matters. The administration did not respond to the author's request for further comments on their story. Kramer states, according to attorneys who represent parents, judges are continuing to hear petitions from the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) seeking to remove children from their homes and place them in foster care, but they are not willing to hear motions by parents seeking to return children home.

Hospitals Separating Newborn Infants from Mothers due to Coronavirus Fears

Expecting mothers can experience enormous amounts of worry and anxiety. With the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world, expecting mothers have even more reasons to be worried when hospitals are separating newborns from their mothers within seconds of birth. "I saw her and felt her on my chest for like maybe three to five seconds." This is what mother, Veronica Batton, told KSHB in a story by Lindsay Shively, March 24th.  Veronica Batton emailed her doctor with concerns about a cough. She agreed to be tested for the coronavirus, but the test results were not back by the time she went into labor. According to KSHB, Batton claimed, it took a full week for the results to come back, four days after she gave birth to her baby girl at St. Luke’s East Hospital in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.   While waiting for the test results, Veronica had no contact with her newborn daughter other than the 3-5 seconds directly after delivery, the story reports. Christopher Frizzelle, writing for The Stranger out of Seattle, reports that separating newborns from their mothers if the mother tested positive for COVID-19 is the recommendation of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which is based on CDC recommendations. "But if the mom is a PUI or is COVID-positive, the recommendation from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) is that medical staff should maintain social distancing of at least six feet between the mom and the baby. In other words, 'Not to do skin-to-skin contact. And the mom goes through labor in a mask. Can you imagine going through natural childbirth, breathing, working, in an air mask the whole time? And then we deliver, and we try to keep them separate from each other.'" Gretchen Vogel with Science posed the question in a recent story: “Do newborn babies need to be separated from mothers infected with the new coronavirus?” Vogel reports, “The scant data available have led to apparently contradictory recommendations: Some health authorities, including in China and the United States, recommend isolation of newborns from their infected mothers; others, including the World Health Organization (WHO), strongly recommend breastfeeding and keeping mothers and babies together, while taking precautions such as the mother wearing a mask.”

Unprecedented Response to COVID-19 by Governments Prohibits Physical Contact and Cripples World Economy

After officials at the World Health Organization (WHO) declared on Mar. 11, 2020 that outbreaks of a mutated coronavirus (COVID-19) had become a global pandemic and urged countries to take strong action to stop its spread, the governments of countries representing one-third of the world’s population closed borders, restricted or halted travel between and within countries and ordered healthy people to essentially eliminate physical contact with each other by staying in their homes. The president of the Philippines even gave authority to shoot down and kill anyone violating the country's lockdown orders. The halt to travel and closure of schools, businesses, stores and shopping centers, restaurants, theaters, sports arenas, gyms, beaches, parks and recreation areas, churches, and other places, where children are educated and people conduct business, shop and engage in recreation, sent stock markets into a sudden nosedive and has crippled the world’s economy.
