Dear Subscriber,
One of the definitions of a “Banana Republic” is a nation whose new sovereign weaponizes powers of government to destroy his opposition. A classic example is. Venezuela and Cuba in these days. Our nation is not far behind. Clearly there is hot debate over the seizure of records within Trump’s home, but my overwhelming concern is medicine.
Within days, our state Senate will vote to approve AB 2098, a draconian bill authored by Tyrant Senator “doctor” Richard Pan. It was designed to muzzle dissent regarding COVID. When passed, if I give information to patients that is not part of the Party Line, I would face severe licensing discipline. (My senator’s office asked me what I meant by “party line” thinking I was referring to political parties. No, “Party Line” means the official narrative of the industrial/government complex).
But what is the Party Line? Clearly industry has infiltrated government, the legislature, and with this, the legislature is permitting industry to infiltrate the medical board. I was never a fan of masks. I thought the alleged science behind them was shaky, at best. I thought that masks are dangerous at worst. (Plastic fiber inhalation, culture medium for nose and mouth germs, touching the contaminated mask and then the next person, toxic plastic waste).
Now LA was attempting to reimpose a mask mandate. Some communities stood up to oppose based on their science and observations, and opinions of medical doctors in their areas. Infections rose after LA imposed a mask mandate.
Now, consider my case. The newly politically empowered medical board gets to weigh in on dissent in COVID. Who do they listen to? In a criminal matter, you have to prove beyond reasonable doubt. In a civil matter- preponderance of the evidence. In an administrative matter, is it the opinion of the administrator(s)? Where do they go for their “science”? If 10% of doctors don’t agree with the mainstream, does that count for anything? If the law was in place last year, I might have lost me license for telling my patients what is now being revealed a year later.
Medicine and science has not learned its lesson from their misdeeds of the past. I won’t be burned at the stake for telling you masks don’t work. My license to serve you will, and will be burned by unelected regulators and legislators “hired” by industry to CRUSH dissent.
We have descended into Banana Republic status from top of the world status.
To Your Excellent Health,
Robert Jay Rowen, MD

A letter from top-level doctors and researchers arguing against the effectiveness of indoor mask mandates, along with pushback from health departments, cities and business groups, possibly played a role in a surprise decision not to re-institute the mandate in Los Angeles County last month.
This newspaper obtained a copy of a February 2022 letter signed by doctors from UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine and USC’s Keck School of Medicine sent to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, asking the county to end the mask mandate that was in effect this past winter, claiming the policy did not work.
On July 22, some of the same doctors published their views in an op-ed in the Orange County Register, one of the newspapers in the Southern California News Group. At the time in July, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) was strongly considering reimposing an indoor mask mandate — but on July 29 decided not to do so.
The letter to the Board of Supervisors, part of a campaign to educate the board, was signed by Dr. Jeffrey D. Klausner, clinical professor of medicine, population and public health sciences at USC’s Keck School of Medicine; Neeraj Sood, professor of public policy at USC’s Sol Price School of Public Policy; James E. Enstrom, retired professor of epidemiology at UCLA; Dr. Noah Kojima, senior resident for internal medicine at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine; Dr. Catherine A. Sarkisian of UCLA’s Geffen School; James E. Moore, II, professor at USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering; Dr. Gabe Vorobiof, associate professor of medicine and cardiology at UCLA Geffen School of Medicine; and Avanidhar Subrahmanyam, professor at UCLA’s Anderson School.
Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who strongly opposed the mask mandate, said she was influenced by the doctors’ letter, as well as views they shared on social media. She said in a public statement that she hasn’t seen empirical data indicating mask mandates decrease COVID-19 transmission. Also playing a factor in her opposition, she said, were decisions by public health departments in Long Beach and Pasadena, which indicated they would not go along with the mandate — and an outcry from business groups.
The cities of El Segundo and Beverly Hills also voted not to align with a mandatory indoor mask requirement.
“I do believe masking is another line of defense in protecting yourself and others,” Barger said. “But as far as mandating: It’s time has come and gone.”
The letter from the group of doctors cites the county’s statistics, and studies in Europe and some U.S. states, showing that after mask mandates were imposed, transmission of COVID-19 did not slow down. It contendes that vaccines and boosters, plus immunity from those who’ve been infected, form a safeguard against high levels of serious illness, and that masks are not necessary in mid-2022, unlike during early stages of the pandemic.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health does not agree, and is continuing to “strongly recommend” people wear close-fitting masks “in most indoor public places,” according to its website. Masks are required on public transportation such as buses, trains, taxis and ride-sharing services and at airports and bus terminals, subways stations, seaports and indoor port terminals; in hospitals, doctor’s offices and any healthcare setting; nursing homes and other adult/senior care facilities; jails, shelters and inside businesses that request it.
Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said the reason she “paused” the mask mandate was because the county’s hospitalization and case numbers were dropping. She has repeatedly stressed at recent press briefings that studies prove masks drive down transmission rates. Ferrer called mask-wearing an easy, sensible step that can protect against virus spread.
But the doctors’ letter made the opposite case. After the L.A. County mask mandate took effect on June 30, 2021, the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in the county rose well into December, their letter pointed out. “It is clear from these data that infections continued to increase despite the imposition of the mask mandate suggesting limited or no efficacy of the mask mandate,” the authors concluded.
In an interview on Thursday, Klausner said the mask mandate was followed by a gradual rise in cases, but it’s possible the mandate prevented a much steeper climb. “People might argue it might have risen faster,” he said, but added, “By the naked eye, there was no clear discernible effect of mask use.”
WE live in a very twisted and depraved society now where
truth is no longer acceptable
In what was once Oregon physicians are not allowed to write RX
for prophylaxis nor treatment with Ivermectin/HCQ
A person who is NOT a physician, a virologist, a epidemiologist
has determined that they not be allowed
Pharmacists are her enforcers
If a physician writes a script they are reported
If that physician tries to go outside of Oregon to write a RX
there is danger in losing a license also
If we follow the therapeutic protocol, as I have since spring of '20
WE are forced to acquire it elsewhere
but one of the worst things is the behavior of friends and family
who have opted for the jab
It is unrelenting badgering, threats, insults, demeaning statements (some have
walked from me)
While I am able to forgive them, I cannot forget as my soul is so scarred by
what they said.
THEY KNEW fully well I am adrenal insufficient and my endocrinologist
stated there is no data how it would affect adrenal insufficient
patients if they took the mRNA jab
(I am panhypopit)
At some point, one must answer the question: Who controls the "industrial/government complex".
Once that question is rightly answered, everything begins to fall into place and it all makes perfect diabolically EVIL sense.
