Plaintiffs contend that no emergency 4 exists and thus all EUAs and emergency actions are invalid, the EUAs were issued in bad faith 5 and in violation of the law, the COVID-19 vaccines were misbranded, and any mandate of the 6 COVID-19 vaccines is unconstitutional. 1 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 2 of 68 7 This challenge will establish that, illegally and in bad faith, the following are true: 8 The COVID vaccine mandates are unlawful and unconstitutional. Further, Plaintiffs 9 assert that the declaration of an emergency, issuance of an EUA, current branding of 10 the COVID-19 vaccines, and mandate of vaccines authorized under said EUA cannot 11 be supported under the following circumstances which will be demonstrated at trial: 12 • Over 99.8% of all those infected with COVID survive with the number being far 13 higher in a vast majority of the population. Even the highest risk population has 14 approximately a 95% recovery rate which is substantially higher than many other 15 diseases we have lived with for centuries with no emergency measures taken. (Hence 16 no emergency exists). 17 Merriam Webster defines an emergency as: an unexpected and usually dangerous 18 situation that calls for immediate action. 1 It is undisputed that COVID-19 will remain 19 with us forever and thus this is not an emergency. If we allow emergency measures 20 indefinitely we are constructively amending the Constitution and rewriting legislation 21 through the use of the emergency declaration. 22 Those who survive COVID-19 or it’s variants (“COVID”) obtain robust and durable 23 natural immunity. The natural immunity so obtained is superior to COVID vaccine- 24 induced immunity. 25 Adequate alternative treatments exist. 26 The COVID vaccines are ineffective against the Delta strain of COVID, which the 27 Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) states is the dominant (>99%) strain spreading 28 throughout the United States. 29 The CDC Director has acknowledged that the COVID vaccines do not prevent 30 infection or transmission of COVID: “[W]hat the vaccines can’t do anymore is 31 prevent transmission.” 2 The CDC has also acknowledged that the vaccinated and https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/emergency. Retrieved 10/29/2021 As the Wuhan vaccine cannot stop transmission of Delta, several studies have proven that the vaccinated are passing the Delta strain amongst each other. For example, as reported by the NEJM, University of San Diego healthcare workers. The New England Journal of Medicine, Resurgence of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in a Highly Vaccinated Health System Workforce (September 30, 2021). https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2112981. 1 2 2 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 3 of 68 unvaccinated are equally likely to spread the virus. 3 32 33 The CDC changed its definition of “vaccine” in August 2021 without following any 34 formal rulemaking process despite the word vaccine carrying important legal 35 implications. Plaintiffs will show this to be a substantive rule change subject to notice 36 and comment under the Administrative Procedures Act (“APA”). This process did not 37 occur prior to these changes. 38 Plaintiffs contend that the vaccines are not actually vaccines. 39 On October 22, 2020, during a web-conference/meeting of the Vaccines and Related 40 Biological Products Advisory Committee of the FDA, a slide was shown to the 41 attendees disclosing likely known adverse consequences of the vaccines. Despite this 42 disclosure the COVID vaccines have been relentlessly misbranded, without 43 limitation, as both “vaccines” and as “safe and effective”. 44 Mandating COVID vaccines violates the fundamental right of bodily integrity 45 protected by United States Constitution as stated in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 46 505 U.S. 833 which cited and largely overturned Jacobson v Massachusetts. 47 The COVID vaccines cause a significantly higher incidence of injuries, adverse 48 reactions, and deaths than any prior vaccines that have been allowed to remain on the 49 market and pose a significant health risk to recipients. 50 As COVID vaccines do not prevent the infection or transmission of COVID but do 51 result in a significant number of adverse events and deaths, Plaintiffs allege that the 52 authorization alone is an illegal abuse of discretion, and the mandate of these vaccines 53 is an unconscionable act done in bad faith. 54 THE PARTIES 55 PLAINTIFFS 56 AMERICA’S FRONTLINE DOCTORS (“AFLDS”) is a non-partisan, not-for-profit 57 organization of hundreds of member physicians that come from across the country, representing 58 a range of medical disciplines and practical experience on the front lines of medicine. 3 https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm?s_cid=mm7031e2_w 3 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 4 of 68 59 Many of AFLDS member physician’s employers subscribe to and follow the 60 recommendations of the American Medical Association (“AMA”). In a special meeting in 61 November of 2020, the AMA’s Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs, updated a previously 62 published Ethics Opinion in the AMA Code of Medical Ethics as opinion 8.7, “Routine 63 Universal Immunization of Physicians.” 64 In this updated opinion, the astonishing position was taken that not only do physicians 65 have an ethical and moral obligation to inject themselves with the experimental COVID 66 vaccines, but they also have an ethical duty to encourage their patients to do likewise. The ethics 67 opinion repeatedly uses the phrase “safe and effective” as a descriptor for the experimental 68 COVID-19 vaccination. The AMA’s ethics opinion goes on to state that institutions may have a 69 responsibility to require immunization of all staff. 70 “Physicians and other health care workers who decline to be immunized with a safe and 71 effective vaccine, without a compelling medical reason, can pose an unnecessary medical risk to 72 vulnerable patients or colleagues,” said AMA Board Member Michael Suk, MD, JD, MPH, 73 MBA. “Physicians must strike an ethical balance between their personal commitments as moral 74 individuals and their obligations as medical professionals.” 75 The ethical opinion adopted by the AMA House of Delegates declares that doctors: 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 have an ethical responsibility to encourage patients to accept immunization when the patient can do so safely, and to take appropriate measures in their own practice to prevent the spread of infectious disease in health care settings. Physician practices and health care institutions have a responsibility to proactively develop policies and procedures for responding to epidemic or pandemic disease with input from practicing physicians, institutional leadership, and appropriate specialists. Such policies and procedures should include robust infection-control practices, provision and required use of appropriate protective equipment, and a process for making appropriate immunization readily available to staff. During outbreaks of vaccine-preventable disease for which there is a safe, effective vaccine, institutions’ responsibility may extend to requiring immunization of staff. 4 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 5 of 68 88 It is clear from this ethics opinion that AFLDS member physicians would be considered 89 by their employers to be both morally and ethically bound by a duty to encourage 12–15-year- 90 old minors to receive the experimental COVID-19 vaccination injection. 91 92 A great number of AFLDS member physicians and medical workers are currently facing COVID vaccine mandates at threat of their “job”. 93 It is critical to point out that for AFLDS member physicians, the practice of medicine is 94 not simply a job. Neither is it merely a career. Rather, it is a sacred trust. It is a true high calling 95 that often requires a decade or more of highly focused sacrificial dedication to achieve. 96 To grasp the irreparable nature of the harm they face, one must consider the ease with 97 which even an anonymous report can be made that may injure or haunt a physician’s career. The 98 National Physicians Database (“NPDB”) was created by Congress with the intent of providing a 99 central location to obtain information about practitioners. However, as Darryl S. Weiman, M.D., 100 J.D. pointed out, the “black mark of a listing in the NPDB may not accomplish what the law was 101 meant to do; identify the poor practitioner.” Weiman goes on to point out that “It is the threat of 102 a NPDB report which prevents the open discussion, fact-finding, and broad-based analysis and 103 problem solving which was the intent of the meaningful peer-review of the HCQIA.” 104 The gross imbalance of equities between an individual physician and the various large 105 institutions and pharmaceutical companies which exert tremendous sway over their professional 106 calling has many physicians fearful of pushing back against COVID vaccine mandates. 107 AFLDS may assert and protect the rights of its members as an association.

DAVID CALDERWOOD (“Dr. Calderwood) is a physician licensed to practice 114 medicine in the State of Alabama. He lives and works in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama, 115 and one of his patients is Plaintiff JOSEPH MAKOWSKI. DR. CALDERWOOD has advised 116 MAKOWSKI to not take any of the vaccines at issue in this complaint due to his health 117 condition(s). DR. CALDERWOOD is entitled to assert the rights of his patient. (See Craig v. 118 Boren, 429 U.S. 190 (1976); June Medical Services, LLC v. Russo, 140 S.Ct. 2103, 2118-19 119 (2020); and Robinson v. Attorney Gen., 957 F.3d 1171, 1177 (11th Cir. 2020)). 120 JOSEPH MAKOWSKI (“Makowski”) lives and works in Huntsville, Alabama. 121 Makowski works for a federal contractor that provides services on a federal installation in 122 Madison County. Makowski’s employer has issued a mandate declaring that he must be 123 vaccinated no later than November 8, 2021. However, Makowski’s physician, Dr. Calderwood, 124 has advised that because of his medical problems, he should not take any Vaccine.\ 125 ELLEN MILLEN (“Millen”) is a resident of Huntsville, Alabama and a Systems 126 Engineer at Raytheon, a Federal Contractor. She has been employed there for 25 years.

JURISDICTION, VENUE, STANDING 171 This Court exercises subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331, which confers 172 original jurisdiction on federal district courts to hear suits arising under the laws and Constitution 173 of the United States. 174 This Court also exercises subject matter jurisdiction in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 175 1361, which grants to district courts original jurisdiction “of any action to compel an officer or 176 employee of the United States or any agency thereof to perform a duty owed to the plaintiff.” 177 Defendants owe a duty to Plaintiffs to comply faithfully with § 360bbb-3 and 45 CFR Part 46, 178 the provisions of which are intended to protect them. 8 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 9 of 68 179 180 181 182 This Court has the authority to grant the requested declaratory relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2201, and the requested injunctive relief under 28 U.S.C. § 1343(a). This Court has Jurisdiction under the Constitution of the United States and Authority under its own equitable powers. 183 This Court is the appropriate venue for this litigation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(e)(1) 184 since the Defendants are officers or employees of the United States acting in an official capacity 185 or under color of legal authority, and agencies of the United States, and at least one Plaintiff 186 resides in this District, and real property is not involved. 187 This Court has authority under Administrative Procedures Act (“APA”), which provides: 188 “A person suffering legal wrong because of agency action, or adversely affected or aggrieved by 189 agency action within the meaning of the relevant statute, is entitled to judicial review thereof.” (5 190 U.S.C. § 702, et seq.). Further: 191 [t]he reviewing court shall — 192 193 (2) hold unlawful and set aside agency action, findings, and conclusions found to be 194 195 (A) arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law; 196 (B) contrary to constitutional right, power, privilege, or immunity; 197 198 (C) in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations, or short of statutory right (5 U.S.C. § 706). 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 Plaintiffs satisfy the “case-or-controversy” requirement of Article III of the Constitution and have standing to sue because they: [have] suffered an “injury in fact” that is (a) concrete and particularized and (b) actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical; (2) the injury is fairly traceable to the challenged action of the defendant; and (3) it is likely, as opposed to merely speculative, that the injury will be redressed by a favorable decision. (Fla Wildlife Fed’n, Inc. v. S. Fla. Water Mgmt. Dist., 647 F.3d 1296, 1302 (11th Cir. 2011)). 9 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 10 of 68 208 In Home Building and Loan Association v. Blaisdell, 290 U.S. 398 (1934), the U.S. 209 Supreme Court stated: “Whether an emergency exists upon which the continued operation of the 210 law depends is always open to judicial inquiry.” (290 U.S. at 442, citing Chastleton Corp. v. 211 Sinclair, 264 U.S. 543 (1924)). 212 In Sinclair, the Supreme Court stated: “A law depending upon the existence of 213 emergency or other certain state of facts to uphold it may cease to operate if the emergency 214 ceases or the facts change.” (264 U.S. at 547). 215 Both Blaisdell and Sinclair are clear authority that an emergency and the rules 216 promulgated thereunder must end when the facts of the situation no longer support the 217 continuation of the emergency. They also forbid this Court to merely assume the existence of a 218 “public health crisis” based on the pronouncements of the Executive Defendants. They are clear 219 authority that it is the duty of the court of first instance to grapple with this question and conduct 220 an inquiry. “[A] Court is not at liberty to shut its eyes to an obvious mistake when the validity 221 of the law depends upon the truth of what is declared.” (Id.) 222 The Sinclair court instructed lower courts to inquire into the factual predicate underlying 223 a declaration of emergency, where there appears to have been a change of circumstances: “the 224 facts should be gathered and weighed by the court of first instance and the evidence preserved 225 for consideration by this Court if necessary.” (264 U.S. at 549). 226 I. NO EMERGENCY EXISTS 227 The Emergency Use Authorization Framework 228 Basis for DHHS Secretary’s Declaration of Emergency 10 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 11 of 68 229 Section 360bbb–3(b) authorizes the DHHS Secretary to declare a “public health 230 emergency” justifying the emergency use of unapproved medical products, in relevant part as 231 follows (emphasis added): 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 (b) Declaration of emergency or threat justifying emergency authorized use (1) In General. The Secretary may make a declaration that the circumstances exist justifying the authorization under this subsection for a product on the basis of— [… ] (c) a determination by the Secretary that there is a public health emergency, or a significant potential for a public health emergency, that affects, or has a significant potential to affect, national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad, and that involves a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents, or a disease or condition that may be attributable to such agent or agents; 243 The DHHS Secretary declared a “public health emergency” pursuant to §360bbb– 244 3(b)(1)(C) on February 4, 2020, after making the relevant finding. Plaintiffs contend and the 245 facts set forth below demonstrate that the finding was made in error, without any real 246 justification, since there is no bona fide underlying public health emergency, and as such the 247 EUAs for the Vaccines are unlawful. 248 Criteria for Issuance of Emergency Use Authorization 249 Once the DHHS Secretary has declared a public health emergency, § 360bbb–3(c) 250 authorizes him to issue EUAs “only if” certain criteria are met, in relevant part as follows 251 (emphasis added): 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 (c) Criteria for issuance of authorization. The Secretary may issue an authorization under this section with respect to the emergency use of a product only if, […] the Secretary concludes (1) that an agent referred to in a declaration under subsection (b) can cause a serious or life threatening disease or condition, (2) that, based on the totality of scientific evidence available to the Secretary, including data from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials, if available, it is reasonable to believe that— (A) the product may be effective in diagnosing, treating, or preventing— (i) such disease or condition; or 11 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 12 of 68 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 (ii) a serious or life-threatening disease or condition caused by a product authorized under this section, approved or cleared under this chapter, or licensed under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 262], for diagnosing, treating, or preventing such a disease or condition caused by such an agent; and (B) the known and potential benefits of the product, when used to diagnose, prevent, or treat such disease or condition, outweigh the known and potential risks of the product, taking into consideration the material threat posed by the agent or agents identified in a declaration under subsection (b)(1)(D), if applicable; (3) that there is no adequate, approved, and available alternative to the product for diagnosing, preventing, or treating such disease or condition; 276 277 Plaintiffs contend and the facts set forth below demonstrate that the Secretary has not met and cannot meet the criteria for issuing EUAs for the Vaccines. 278 Conditions of Authorization 279 Once an EUA has been issued, §360bbb–3(e) obligates the Secretary to establish such 280 conditions on an authorization as are necessary to ensure that both healthcare professionals and 281 consumers receive certain minimum required information, in relevant part as follows (emphasis 282 added): 283 (e) Conditions of authorization 284 (1) Unapproved Product 285 286 287 (A) Required conditions. With respect to the emergency use of an unapproved product, the Secretary […] shall […] establish […]: 288 289 (i) Appropriate conditions designed to ensure that health care professionals administering the product are informed — 290 291 (I) that the Secretary has authorized the emergency use of the product; 292 293 294 295 (II) of the significant known and potential benefits and risks of the emergency use of the product, and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are known; and 296 297 (III) of the alternatives to the product that are available, and of their benefits and risks. 12 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 13 of 68 298 299 (ii) Appropriate conditions designed to ensure that individuals to whom the product is administered are informed — 300 301 (I) that the Secretary has authorized the emergency use of the product; 302 303 304 305 (II) of the significant known and potential benefits and risks of the emergency use of the product, and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are known; and 306 307 308 309 310 (III) of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available, and of their benefits and risks. 311 312 313 (iii) Appropriate conditions for the monitoring and reporting of adverse events associated with the emergency use of the product. 314 315 Plaintiffs contend and the facts set forth below demonstrate that the Secretary has failed 316 to satisfy the conditions for authorization, because he has not ensured that healthcare 317 professionals and Vaccine subjects are properly informed, and because he has actively 318 suppressed and/or mischaracterized information relating to the Vaccines without which informed 319 consent cannot be provided and without which the conditions for authorization cannot be and 320 have never been met. The Vaccine EUAs are Unlawful — There is No Underlying Emergency 321 322 323 In approximately January of 2020, the media began creating and circulating news stories 324 that seemed designed to generate panic, regarding a new and deadly disease that could kill us all. 325 This was odd given that the estimated fatality rate at the time was between 2-4%. By contrast, 326 tuberculosis has a fatality rate of approximately 10%, the original SARS virus had a fatality rate 327 of approximately 9%, and the MERS virus had a fatality rate of approximately 30% — all had 328 similar rates of spread. 13 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 14 of 68 329 The actual COVID-19 statistics present a vastly different picture than the one painted by 330 the media — a fatality rate of 0.2% globally, dropping to 0.03% for persons under age 70, which 331 is comparable to the yearly flu. Further, statistically, the fatality risk is limited to the elderly 332 population. The Defendants’ own data published through publicly accessible government 333 portals 4 establishes that there is no public health emergency due to SARS-CoV-2 and COVOD- 334 19: United States Totals COVID-19 Emergency Room Visits 335 COVID-19 Inpatients COVID-19 ICU Patients COVID-19 Hospitalizations COVID-19 “Cases” 1.2% are due to COVID-19 (In 26 states, COVID-19 accounts for less than 1% of ER visits. The highest percentage is 3.1%). 4% of all inpatients are due to COVID-19 9% of all ICU are due to COVID-19 15 per 100,000 or less in 46 states, and 20 per 100,000 or less in 49 states 9 per 100,000 per day 336 The actual COVID-19 fatality numbers are vastly lower than those reported. On March 337 24, 2020, the DHHS changed the rules applicable to coroners and others responsible for 338 producing death certificates and making “cause of death” determinations — exclusively for 339 COVID-19. The rule change states that “COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate 340 for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.” 341 Many doctors have attested that permitting such imprecision on a legal document (death 342 certificate) has never happened before in modern medicine. This results in reporting of deaths as 343 caused by COVID-19, even when in fact deaths were imminent and inevitable for other pre- 344 existing reasons and caused by co-morbidities. In other words, people dying with COVID-9 are See, e.g., https://healthdata.gov and https://healthdata.gov/Health/COVID-19-Community-Profile-Report/gqxmd9w9 4 14 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 15 of 68 345 being reported as dying from COVID-19. DHHS statistics are now showing that 95% of deaths 346 classed as “COVID-19 deaths” involve an average of four additional co-morbidities. 347 Substantial government subsidies paid for reported COVID-19 deaths undoubtedly fuel 348 this misattribution of the cause of death. Former CDC Director Robert Redfield acknowledged 349 this perverse financial incentive in sworn Congressional testimony on COVID-19: “I think 350 you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes too, really in the HIV epidemic, 351 somebody may have a heart attack, but also have HIV – the hospital would prefer the 352 classification for HIV because there’s greater reimbursement.” 353 Dr. Genevieve Briand of John Hopkins University published a study demonstrating that 354 the overall death rate in the United States has remained the same, despite the deaths attributed to 355 COVID-19. Dr. Briand analyzed federal CDC data for 2018 and 2020 and found that nationwide 356 deaths from causes other than COVID-19, decreased by the same amount that COVID-19 deaths 357 increased, raising the presumption that deaths from these other causes have been characterized as 358 COVID-19 deaths. There are no excess deaths due to COVID-19. 359 Similarly, the actual number of COVID-19 “cases” is far lower than the reported number. 360 The signs, symptoms and other diagnostic criteria for COVID-19 are laughably broad. Applying 361 the criteria, countless ailments can be classed as COVID-19, especially the common cold or 362 ordinary seasonal flu. Compounding the problem, the DHHS authorized the use of the 363 polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) test as a diagnostic tool for COVID-19, with disastrous 364 consequences. The PCR tests are themselves experimental products, authorized by the FDA 365 under separate EUAs. Test manufacturers use disclaimers like this in their product manuals: 366 “[t]he FDA has not determined that the test is safe or effective for the detection of SARS-Co-V- 367 2” 15 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 16 of 68 368 A PCR test can only test for the presence of a fragment of the RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 369 virus, and literally, by itself, cannot be used to diagnose the COVID-19 disease. The RNA 370 fragment detected may not be intact and may be dead, in which case it cannot cause the disease 371 COVID-19. This is analogous to finding a car part, but not a whole car that can be driven. 372 Manufacturer inserts furnished with PCR test products include disclaimers stating that the PCR 373 tests should NOT be used to diagnose COVID-19. This is consistent with the warning issued by 374 the Nobel Prize winning inventor of the PCR test that such tests are not appropriate for 375 diagnosing disease. 376 Further, the way in which the PCR tests are administered guaranties an unacceptably high 377 number of false positive results. Cycle Threshold Value (“CT value”) is essentially the number 378 of times that a sample (usually from a nasal swab) is magnified or amplified before a fragment of 379 viral RNA is detected. The CT Value is exponential, and so a 40-cycle threshold means that the 380 sample is magnified around a trillion times. The higher the CT Value, the less likely the detected 381 fragment of viral RNA is intact, alive and infectious. 382 383 Virtually all scientists, including Dr. Fauci, agree that any PCR test run at a CT value of 35-cycles or greater is useless. Dr. Fauci has stated: 384 385 386 387 388 389 390 391 392 What is now evolving into a bit of a standard is that if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more that the chances of it being replication competent are miniscule…We have patients, and it is very frustrating for the patients as well as for the physicians…somebody comes in and they repeat their PCR and it’s like 37 cycle threshold…you can almost never culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle. So I think if somebody does come in with 37, 38, even 36, you gotta say, you know, it’s dead nucleotides, period.” In other words, it is not a COVID-19 infection. 393 positivity rate is as high as 97%. Despite this, a majority of the PCR tests for COVID-19 394 deployed under EUAs in the United States are run at cycles seemingly guaranteed to produce A study funded by the French government showed that even at 35-cycles, the false 16 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 17 of 68 395 false positive results. Under the EUAs issued by the FDA, there is no flexibility to depart from 396 the manufacturer’s instructions and change the way in which the test is administered or 397 interpreted. The chart below shows that all major PCR tests in use in the United States are run at 398 cycles of 35 or higher.

THE CDC HAS STATED 401 THAT ONCE A PERSON HAS BEEN VACCINATED, AND THEN AFTER VACCINATION 402 THAT PERSON TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 USING A PCR TEST, THE CDC WILL 403 ONLY “COUNT” THE POSITIVE RESULT AT 28 CYCLES OR LESS! Why the difference? 404 More recently, the CDC has announced it will no longer compile and report data showing the 405 total number of vaccinated who subsequently contract COVID-19: “[We are] transitioning to 406 reporting only patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection that were hospitalized or 407 died to help maximize the quality of the data collected.” 5 There appears to be an agenda to 408 protect the myths about the vaccine, rather than to protect the public. 409 The Defendants and their counterparts in state governments used the specter of 410 “asymptomatic spread” — the notion that fundamentally healthy people could cause COVID-19 411 in others — to justify the purported emergency. But there is no credible scientific evidence that 5 https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html 17 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 18 of 68 412 demonstrates that the phenomenon of “asymptomatic spread” is real. On the contrary, on June 7, 413 2020, Dr. Maria Von Kerkhov, head of the WHO’s Emerging Diseases and Zoonosis Unit, told a 414 press conference that from the known research, asymptomatic spread was “very rare.” “From the 415 data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a 416 secondary individual.” She added for emphasis: “it’s very rare.” 417 Medical University in Guangzhou, China, published a study in August 2020 concluding that 418 asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 is almost non-existent. “Asymptomatic cases were 419 least likely to infect their close contacts,” the researchers found. A more recent study involving 420 nearly 10 million residents of Wuhan, China found that there were no — zero — positive 421 COVID-19 tests amongst 1,174 close contacts of asymptomatic cases, indicating the complete 422 absence of asymptomatic transmission. Researchers from Southern 423 On September 9, 2020, Dr. Fauci was forced to admit in an official press conference: 424 425 426 427 428 429 430 [E]ven if there is some asymptomatic transmission, in all the history of respiratory borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person, even if there is a rare asymptomatic person that might transmit, an epidemic is not driven by asymptomatic carriers. 6 431 necessary legal predicate for unleashing dangerous experimental medical interventions on the 432 American public — that a true public health emergency exists. On a national level, Plaintiffs are 433 unaware of any inter-country requests for aid, or legitimately overwhelmed community health 434 resources or hospitals. The Cambridge dictionary defines the word “emergency” to mean 435 “something dangerous or serious, such as an accident, that happens suddenly or unexpectedly Ultimately, there is simply no objective evidence to support the Secretary’s finding — the See, starting at minute 44: Error!

Most 438 importantly, we can identify with precision the discrete age segment of the population that is at 439 potential risk. For example, children under 18 statistically have a zero percent chance of death 440 *from COVID-19. Even if this were not the case, absent an emergency, the EUAs must be 441 invalidated entirely. 442 443 III. EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION WAS 444 GRANTED IN VIOLATION OF LAW 445 446 The Vaccine EUAs are Unlawful — The Vaccines are Not Effective in Diagnosing, Treating or Preventing SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 447 Some countries with the highest rates of Vaccine injection are facing a surge of COVID- 448 19 deaths and infections. Uruguay endured the highest COVID-19 death rate in the world per 449 capita for weeks, even though it had one of the world’s most successful vaccination drives. 450 Other highly vaccinated countries like Bahrain, Maldives, Chile and Seychelles, experienced the 451 same surge. 452 CDC data shows that deaths and hospitalizations for COVID-19 infection have tripled 453 among those who have already received the full recommended dosage of the Vaccines in the 454 United States in May of this year. Deaths from COVID-19 in those who have received the 455 recommended dosages of the Vaccines increased from 160 as of April 30, 2021, to 535 as of 456 June 1, 2021. 457 CDC data shows that a total of 10,262 SARS-CoV-2 “breakthrough infections” of those 458 who have already received the full recommended dosage of the Vaccines were reported to the 459 CDC from 46 states and territories between January 1, 2021 and April 30, 2021. Meanwhile, a 19 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 20 of 68 460 study published by the renowned Cleveland Clinic in Ohio indicates that natural immunity 461 acquired through prior infection with COVID-19 is stronger than any benefit conferred by a 462 Vaccine, rendering vaccination unnecessary for those previously infected. 463 In studying the effectiveness of a medical intervention in randomized controlled trials 464 (often called the gold standard of study design), the most useful way to present results is in terms 465 of Absolute Risk Reduction (“ARR”). ARR compares the impact of treatment by comparing the 466 outcomes of the treated group and the untreated group. In other words, if 20 out of 100 untreated 467 individuals had a negative outcome, and 10 out of 100 treated individuals had a negative 468 outcome, the ARR would be 10% (20 — 10 = 10). According to a study published by the 469 NIH, the ARR for the Pfizer Vaccine is a mere 0.7%, and the ARR for the Moderna 470 Vaccine is only 1.1%. 7 471 From the ARR, one can calculate the Number Needed to Vaccinate (“NNV”), which 472 signifies the number of people that must be injected before even one person benefits from the 473 vaccine. The NVV for the Pfizer Vaccine is 119, meaning that 119 people must be injected in 474 order to observe the reduction of a COVID-19 case in one person. The reputed journal the 475 Lancet reports data indicating that the NVV may be as high as 217. 476 hospitalization exceeds 4,000. The NVV to avoid death exceeds 25,000. The NVV to avoid 477 There are several factors that reduce any purported benefit of the COVID-19 Vaccines. 478 First, it is important to note that the Vaccines were only shown to reduce symptoms – not block 479 transmission. For over a year now, these Defendants and state-level public health authorities 480 have told the American public that SARS-CoV-2 can be spread by people who have none of the 481 symptoms of COVID-19, therefore Americans must mask themselves, and submit to 7 See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7996517/ (Visited Oct. 19, 2021) 20 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 21 of 68 482 innumerable lockdowns and restrictions, even though they are not manifestly sick. If that is the 483 case, and these officials were not lying to the public, and asymptomatic spread is real, then what 484 is the benefit of a vaccine that merely reduces symptoms? There isn’t any. 485 Secondly, it appears that these Defendants either did lie about asymptomatic spread or 486 were simply wrong about the science. The theory of asymptomatic transmission — used as the 487 justification for the lockdown and masking of the healthy — was based solely upon mathematical 488 modeling. This theory had no actual study participants, and no peer review. The authors made 489 the unfounded assumption that asymptomatic persons were “75% as infectious” as symptomatic 490 persons. But in the real world, healthy false positives turned out to be merely healthy, and were 491 never shown to be “asymptomatic” carriers of anything. Studies have shown that PCR test- 492 positive asymptomatic individuals do not induce clinical COVID-19 disease, not even in a family 493 member with whom they share a home and extended proximity. An enormous study of nearly 494 ten million people in Wuhan, China showed that asymptomatic individuals testing positive for 495 COVID-19 never infected others. 8 Since asymptomatic individuals do not spread COVID-19, 496 they do not need to be vaccinated. 497 498 499 500 501 502 503 The Vaccine EUAs are Unlawful — The Known and Potential Risks of the Vaccines Outweigh the Known and Potential Benefits The “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine” and the “Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine” are Novel Gene Therapy Technology, Not Vaccines The CDC defines a “vaccine” as: “A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to 504 produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are 505 usually administered through needle injections but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed 8 See: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/11/201130131511.htm (visited Oct. 19. 2021) 21 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 22 of 68 506 into the nose.” 9 The CDC defines “immunity” as: “Protection from an infectious disease. If you 507 are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.” 10 508 However, the “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine” and the “Moderna COVID-19 509 Vaccine” do not meet the CDC’s own definitions. They do not stimulate the body to produce 510 immunity from a disease. They are a synthetic fragment of nucleic acid embedded in a fat carrier 511 that is introduced into human cells, not for the purpose of inducing immunity from infection with 512 the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and not to block further transmission of the virus, but in order to lessen 513 the symptoms of COVID-19. No published, peer-reviewed studies prove that the “Pfizer- 514 BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine” and the “Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine” confer immunity or 515 stop transmission. 516 Further, the “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine” and the “Moderna COVID-19 517 Vaccine” are not “vaccines” within the common, lay understanding of the public. Since vaccines 518 were first discovered in 1796 by Dr. Edward Jenner, who used cowpox to inoculate humans 519 against smallpox, and called the process “vaccination” (from the Latin term vaca for cow), the 520 public has had an entrenched understanding that a vaccine is a microorganism, either alive but 521 weakened, or dead, that is introduced into the human body in order to trigger the production of 522 antibodies that confer immunity from the targeted disease, and also prevent its transmission to 523 others. The public are accustomed to these traditional vaccines and understand them. 524 The public are fundamentally uninformed about the gene therapy technology behind the 525 “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine” and the “Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.” 526 attenuated virus is used. Rather, instructions, via a piece of genetic code (“mRNA”) are injected 9 No dead or https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/imz-basics.htm.

Meanwhile, this novel 533 technology is being deployed in the unsuspecting human population for the first time in history. 534 Inadequate Testing 535 The typical vaccine development process takes between 10 and 15 years and consists of 536 the following sequential stages — research and discovery (2 to 10 years), pre-clinical animal 537 studies (1 to 5 years), clinical human trials in four phases (typically 5 years). Phase 1 of the 538 clinical human trials consists of healthy individuals and is focused on safety. Phase 2 consists of 539 additional safety and dose-ranging in healthy volunteers, with the addition of a control group. 540 Phase 3 evaluates efficacy, safety and immune response in a larger volunteer group, and requires 541 two sequential randomized controlled trials. Phase 4 is a larger scale investigation into longer- 542 term safety. Vaccine developers must follow this process in order to be able to generate the data 543 the FDA needs in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of a vaccine candidate. 544 This 10–15-year testing process has been abandoned for purposes of the Vaccines. The 545 first human-to-human transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was not confirmed until January 546 20, 2020, and less than a year later both mRNA Vaccines had EUAs and for the first time in 547 history this novel mRNA technology was being injected into millions of human beings. As of 548 June 7, 2021, 138 million Americans, representing 42% of the population, have been fully 549 vaccinated. 23 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 24 of 68 550 All of the stages of testing have been compressed in time, abbreviated in substance, and 551 are overlapping, which dramatically increases the risks of the Vaccines. Plaintiffs’ investigation 552 indicates that Moderna and Pfizer designed their Vaccines in only two days. It appears that 553 pharmaceutical companies did not independently verify the genome sequence that China released 554 on January 11, 2020. It appears that the Vaccines were studied for only 56 days in macaques, 555 and 28 days in mice, and then animal studies were halted. It appears that the pharmaceutical 556 companies discarded their control groups receiving placebos, squandering the opportunity to 557 learn about the rate of long-term complications, how long protection against the disease lasts and 558 how well the Vaccines inhibit transmission. A number of studies were deemed unnecessary and 559 not performed prior to administration in human subjects, including single dose toxicity, 560 toxicokinetic, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, prenatal and postnatal development, offspring, local 561 tolerance, teratogenic and postnatal toxicity and fertility. The American public has not been 562 properly informed of these dramatic departures from the standard testing process, and the risks 563 they generate. 564 565 AFLDS medico-legal researchers have analyzed the accumulated COVID-19 Vaccine risk data, and report as follows: 566 Migration of the SARS-CoV-2 “Spike Protein” in the Body 567 The SARS-CoV-2 has a spike protein on its surface. The spike protein is what allows the 568 virus to infect other bodies. It is clear that the spike protein is not a simple, passive structure. 569 The spike protein is a “pathogenic protein” and a toxin that causes damage. The spike protein is 570 itself biologically active, even without the virus. It is “fusogenic” and consequently binds more 571 tightly to our cells, causing harm. If the purified spike protein is injected into the blood of 572 research animals, it causes profound damage to their cardiovascular system, and crosses the 24 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 25 of 68 573 blood-brain barrier to cause neurological damage. If the Vaccines were like traditional bona fide 574 vaccines, and did not leave the immediate site of vaccination, typically the shoulder muscle, 575 beyond the local draining lymph node, then the damage that the spike protein could cause might 576 be limited. 577 However, the Vaccines were authorized without any studies demonstrating where the 578 spike proteins traveled in the body following vaccination, how long they remain active and what 579 effect they have. A group of international scientists has recently obtained the “biodistribution 580 study” for the mRNA Vaccines from Japanese regulators. 581 traditional vaccines, this spike protein enters the bloodstream and circulates throughout the body 582 over several days post-vaccination. It accumulates in a number of tissues, such as the spleen, 583 bone marrow, liver, adrenal glands and ovaries. It fuses with receptors on our blood platelets, 584 and also with cells lining our blood vessels. It can cause platelets to clump leading to clotting, 585 bleeding and heart inflammation. It can also cross the blood-brain barrier and cause brain 586 damage. It can be transferred to infants through breast milk. The VAERS system includes 587 reports of infants suckling from vaccinated mothers experiencing bleeding disorders in the 588 gastrointestinal tract. 589 590 The study reveals that unlike These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare professionals or Vaccine subjects. 591 Increased Risk of Death from Vaccines 592 The government operated VAERS database is intended to function as an “early warning” 593 system for potential health risks caused by vaccines. It is broadcasting a red alert. Of the 594 262,000 total accumulated reports in VAERS, only 1772 are not related to COVID-19. The 595 database indicates that the total reported vaccine deaths in the first quarter of 2021 represents a 25 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 26 of 68 596 12,000% to 25,000% increase in vaccine deaths, year-on-year. In ten years (2009-2019) there 597 were 1529 vaccine deaths, whereas in the first quarter of 2021 there have been over 4,000. 598 Further, 99% of all reported vaccine deaths in 2021 are caused by the COVID-19 Vaccines, only 599 1% being caused by the numerous other vaccines reported in the system. It is estimated that 600 VAERS only captures 1% to 10% of all vaccine adverse events. 601 These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare 602 professionals or Vaccine subjects. 603 Reproductive Health 604 The mRNA Vaccines induce our cells to manufacture (virus-free) “spike proteins.” The 605 “spike proteins” are in the same family as the naturally occurring syncytin-1 and syncytin-2 606 reproductive proteins in sperm, ova and placenta. Antibodies raised against the spike protein 607 might interact with the naturally occurring syncytin proteins, adversely affecting multiple steps 608 in human reproduction. The manufacturers did not provide data on this subject despite knowing 609 about the spike protein’s similarity to syncytin proteins for more than one year. There are now a 610 remarkably high number of pregnancy losses in VAERS, and worldwide reports of irregular 611 vaginal bleeding without clear explanation. Scientists are concerned that the Vaccines pose a 612 substantial risk to a woman’s reproductive system. This increased risk of sterility stems from an 613 increased concentration of the spike proteins in various parts of the reproductive system after 614 vaccination. Not enough is known to determine the risk of sterility, but it is beyond question that 615 the risk is increased. 616 Since Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Temporary Restraining Order in this case, new 617 evidence has emerged that further confirms the risk. A leaked Pfizer document (below) exposes 618 that Pfizer Vaccine nanoparticles accumulate in the ovaries at an extraordinarily high rate, in 26 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 27 of 68 619 concentrations orders of magnitude higher than in other tissues. Billions of aggressive spike 620 proteins are accumulating in very delicate ovarian tissues, the one place in the human body 621 where females carry a finite number of fertile eggs. 623 Each baby girl is born with the total number of eggs she will ever have in her entire life. 624 Those eggs are stored in the ovaries, and one egg is released each month of a normal menstrual 625 cycle. When there are no more eggs, a woman stops menstruating. The reproductive system is 626 arguably the most delicate hormonal and organ balance of all our systems. The slightest 627 deviation in any direction and infertility results. Even in 2021, doctors and scientists do not know 628 all the variables that cause infertility. 27 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 28 of 68 629 There is evidence to support that the vaccine could cause permanent autoimmune 630 rejection of the placenta. Placental inflammation resulting in stillbirths mid-pregnancy (second 631 trimester) is seen with COVID-19 and with other similar coronaviruses. There is a case report of 632 a woman with a normally developing pregnancy who lost the otherwise healthy baby at five 633 months during acute COVID-19. The mother’s side of the placenta was very inflamed. This 634 “infection of the maternal side of the placenta inducing acute or chronic placental insufficiency 635 resulting in miscarriage or fetal growth restriction was observed in 40% of pregnant women with 636 similar coronaviruses.” The mRNA Vaccines may instigate a similar reaction as the SARS-CoV- 637 2 virus. There is a component in the vaccine that could cause the same autoimmune rejection of 638 the placenta, but indefinitely. Getting COVID-19 has been associated with a high risk of mid 639 mid-pregnancy miscarriage because the placenta fails. The mRNA Vaccines may have precisely 640 the same effect, however, not for just the few weeks of being sick, but forever. Repeated 641 pregnancies would keep failing — mid-pregnancy. 642 On December 1, 2020, a former Pfizer Vice President and allergy and respiratory 643 researcher, Dr. Michael Yeadon, filed an application with the European Medicines Agency, 644 responsible for approving drugs in the European Union, seeking the immediate suspension of all 645 SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines, 11 citing inter alia the risk to pregnancies. As of April 26, 2021, the 646 VAERS database contains over 3,000 reports of failed pregnancies associated with the Vaccines. 647 These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare 648 professionals or Vaccine subjects. 649 Vascular Disease See: https://2020news.de/en/dr-wodarg-and-dr-yeadon-request-a-stop-of-all-corona-vaccination-studies-and-callfor-co-signing-the-petition/ (visited Oct. 19, 2021) 11 28 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 29 of 68 650 Salk Institute for Biological Studies researchers in collaboration with the University of 651 San Diego, published in the journal Circulation Research that the spike proteins themselves 652 damage vascular cells, causing strokes and many other vascular problems. All the vaccines are 653 causing clotting disorders (coagulopathy) in all ages. The spike proteins are known to cause 654 clotting that the body cannot fix, such as brain thrombosis and thrombocytopenia. 655 These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare 656 professionals or Vaccine subjects. 657 Autoimmune Disease 658 The spike proteins are perceived to be foreign by the human immune system, initiating an 659 immune response to fight them. While that is the intended therapeutic principle, it is also the case 660 that any cell expressing spike proteins becomes a target for destruction by our own immune 661 system. This is an autoimmune disorder and can affect virtually any organ in the body. It is likely 662 that some proportion of spike protein will become permanently fused to long-lived human 663 proteins and this will prime the body for prolonged autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune diseases 664 can take years to show symptoms and many scientists are alarmed at giving young people such a 665 trigger for possible autoimmune disease. 666 These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare 667 professionals or Vaccine subjects. 668 Neurological Damage 669 The brain is completely unique in structure and function, and therefore it requires an 670 environment that is insulated against the rest of the body’s functioning. The blood-brain-barrier 671 exists so the brain can function without disruption from the rest of the body. This is a complex, 672 multi-layered system, using several mechanisms that keeps nearly all bodily functions away from 29 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 30 of 68 673 the brain. Three such systems include: very tight junctions between the cells lining the blood 674 vessels, very specific proteins that go between, and unique enzymes that alter substances that do 675 go through the cells. Working together, the blood-brain-barrier prevents almost everything from 676 getting in. Breaching it is generally incompatible with life. 677 Most unfortunately, the COVID-19 Vaccines — unlike any other vaccine ever deployed 678 — are able to breach this barrier through various routes, including through the nerve structure in 679 the nasal passages and through the blood vessel walls. The resulting damage begins in the arterial 680 wall, extends to the supporting tissue outside the arteries in the brain, and from there to the actual 681 brain nerve cells inside. The Vaccines are programmed to produce the S1 subunit of the spike 682 protein in every cell in every Vaccine recipient, but it is this subunit that causes the brain damage 683 and neurologic symptoms. Elderly persons are at increased risk for this brain damage. 684 COVID-19 patients typically have neurological symptoms including headache and loss of 685 smell and taste, as well as brain fog, impaired consciousness, and stroke. Researchers have 686 published a paper in the Journal of Neurological Sciences correlating the severity of the 687 pulmonary distress in COVID-19 with viral spread to the brain stem, suggesting direct brain 688 damage, not just a secondary cytokine effect. It has been shown recently by Dr. William Banks, 689 professor of Internal Medicine at University of Washington School of Medicine, that the S1 690 subunit of the spike protein — the part of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that produces the COVID-19 691 disease and is in the Vaccines — can cross the blood brain barrier. 692 concerning, given the high number of ACE2 receptors in the brain (the ACE2 receptor is that 693 portion of the cell that allows the spike protein to connect to human tissue). Mice injected with 694 the S1 subunit of the spike protein developed direct damage to the perivascular tissue. In This is even more 30 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 31 of 68 695 humans, viral spike protein was detected in the brain tissues of COVID-19 patients, but not in the 696 brain tissues of the controls. Spike protein produces endothelial damage. 697 There are an excessive number of brain hemorrhages associated with COVID-19, and the 698 mechanism suggests that it is the spike protein that is responsible. The federal government’s 699 VAERS database shows a dramatic increase in adverse event reporting of neurological damage 700 following injection with the Vaccine. 701 ear 000 010 015 018 019 020 702 021 2 4 Brain Bleeding (Reports following injection with Vaccine) 7 2 0 17 2 0 17 2 21 31 2 11 17 2 12 (43) 4 (11) 2 17 (251) 0 (258) Y Dementia (Reports following injection with Vaccine) 703 While the full impact of these Vaccines crossing the blood-brain barrier is unknown, they 704 clearly put vaccinated individuals at a substantially increased risk of hemorrhage, neurological 705 damage, and brain damage as demonstrated by the increased instances of such reporting in the 706 VAERS system. 707 These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare 708 professionals or Vaccine subjects. 709 Effect on the Young 31 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 32 of 68 710 The Vaccines are more deadly or harmful to the young than the virus, and that is 711 excluding the unknown future effects on fertility, clotting, and autoimmune disease. Those 712 under the age of 18 face statistically zero chance of death from SARS-CoV-2 according to data 713 published by the CDC, but there are reports of heart inflammation — both myocarditis 714 (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) 715 — in young men, and at least one documented fatal heart attack of a healthy 15-year-old boy in 716 Colorado two days after receiving the Pfizer Vaccine. The CDC has admitted that “[s]ince April 717 2021, increased cases of myocarditis and pericarditis have been reported in the United States 718 after the mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna), particularly in 719 adolescents and young adults.” 12 720 The Vaccines induce the cells of the recipient to manufacture trillions of spike proteins for 721 an undetermined amount of time with the pathology described above, whereas naturally 722 occurring COVID-19 comes and goes. The spike protein is the same. The increased risk comes 723 from reprogramming the cells to permanently create the spike protein at potentially high levels. 724 Because immune responses in the young and healthy are more vigorous than those in the old, 725 paradoxically, the vaccines may thereby induce, in the very people least in need of assistance, a 726 very strong immune response, including those which can damage their own cells and tissues, 727 including by stimulating blood coagulation. 728 729 These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare professionals or Vaccine subjects. 730 Chronic Disease 12 See: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/myocarditis.html (visited Oct. 19, 2021) 32 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 33 of 68 731 Healthy children whose birthright is decades of healthy life will instead face premature 732 death or decades of chronic disease. We cannot say what percentage will be affected with 733 antibody dependent enhancement, neurological disorders, autoimmune disease and reproductive 734 problems, but it is a virtual certainty that this will occur. 735 736 These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare professionals or Vaccine subjects. 737 Antibody Dependent Enhancement 738 Antibody Dependent Enhancement (“ADE”) occurs when SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, 739 created by a Vaccine, instead of protecting the vaccinated person, cause a more severe or lethal 740 case of the COVID-19 disease when the person is later exposed to SARS-CoV-2 in the wild. The 741 Vaccine amplifies the infection rather than preventing damage. It may only be seen after months 742 or years of use in populations around the world. 743 This paradoxical reaction has been seen in other vaccines and animal trials. One well- 744 documented example is with the Dengue fever vaccine, which resulted in avoidable deaths. 745 Dengue fever has caused 100-400 million infections, 500,000 hospitalizations, and a 2.5% 746 fatality rate annually worldwide. It is a leading cause of death in children in Asian and Latin 747 American countries. Despite over 50 years of active research, a Dengue vaccine still has not 748 gained widespread approval in large part due to the phenomenon of ADE. Vaccine manufacturer 749 Sanofi Pharmaceutical spent 20 years and nearly $2 billion to develop the Dengue vaccine and 750 published their results in the New England Journal of Medicine, which was quickly endorsed by 751 the World Health Organization. Vigilant scientists clearly warned about the danger from ADE, 752 which the Philippines ignored when it administered the vaccine to hundreds of thousands of 753 children in 2016. Later, when these children were exposed in the wild, many became severely ill 33 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 34 of 68 754 and 600 children died. The former head of the Dengue department of the Research Institute for 755 Tropical Medicine (RITM) was indicted in 2019 by the Philippines Department of Justice for 756 “reckless imprudence resulting [in] homicide,” because he “facilitated, with undue haste,” 757 Dengvaxia’s approval and its rollout among Philippine schoolchildren. 13 758 ADE has been observed in the coronavirus setting. The original SARS-CoV-1 caused an 759 epidemic in 2003. This virus is a coronavirus that is reported to be 78% similar to the current 760 SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes the disease COVID-19. 761 vaccine. Of approximately 35 vaccine candidates, the best four were trialed in ferrets. The 762 vaccines appeared to work in the ferrets. 763 challenged by SARS-CoV-1 in the wild, they became extremely ill and died due to what we 764 would term a sudden severe cytokine storm. The reputed journals Science, Nature and Journal 765 of Infectious Diseases have all documented ADE risks in relation to the development of 766 experimental COVID-19 vaccines. The application filed by Dr. Yeadon with the European 767 Medicines Agency on December 1, 2020 also cites to the risk from ADE. ADE is discovered 768 during long-term animal studies, to which the Vaccines have not been subjected. 769 770 Scientists attempted to create a However, when those vaccinated ferrets were These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare professionals or Vaccine subjects. 771 Vaccine-Driven Disease Enhancement in the Previously Infected 772 Scientists have noted an immediately higher death rate worldwide upon receiving a 773 Vaccine. This is generally attributed to persons having recently been infected with COVID-19. 774 The FDA states that many persons receiving a Vaccine have COVID-19. 775 previously had SARS-CoV-2, and then receives a Vaccine, mounts an antibody response to the A person who See: https://www.science.org/content/article/dengue-vaccine-fiasco-leads-criminal-charges-researcher-philippines (visited Oct. 19, 2021) 13 34 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 35 of 68 776 Vaccine that is between 10 and 20 times stronger than the response of a previously uninfected 777 person. The antibody response is far too strong and overwhelms the Vaccine subject. With a 778 typical vaccine, the body trains itself how to respond to a disease because of exposure to a dead 779 or weakened version of the pathogen. The Vaccines by contrast actually reprogram the body and, 780 in doing so, can escalate the individual’s response to levels that place them at risk. Medical 781 studies show severe Vaccine side effects in persons previously infected with COVID-19. Groups 782 of scientists are demanding improved pre-assessment due to vaccine-driven disease enhancement 783 in the previously infected. 784 These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare 785 professionals or Vaccine subjects. 786 More Virulent Strains 787 Scientists are concerned that universal inoculation may create more virulent strains. This 788 has been observed with Marek’s Disease in chickens. A large number of chickens not at risk of 789 death were vaccinated, and now all chickens must be vaccinated or they will die from a virus that 790 was nonlethal prior to widespread vaccination. 14 The current policy to pursue universal 791 vaccination regardless of risk may exert the same evolutionary pressure toward more highly 792 virulent strains. 793 794 These risks have not been adequately studied in trials, or properly disclosed to healthcare professionals or Vaccine subjects. 795 Blood Supply 14 See: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-dangerous (visited Oct. 19, 2021) 35 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 36 of 68 796 Presently, the vaccinated are permitted to donate their spike protein laden blood into the 797 blood supply, which projects all of the risks discussed supra onto the general population of 798 unvaccinated blood donees. 799 Scientists and healthcare professionals all over the world are sounding the alarm and 800 frantically appealing to the FDA to halt the Vaccines. They have made innumerable public 801 statements. 57 top scientists and doctors from Central and South America are calling for an 802 immediate end to all vaccine COVID-19 programs. Other physician-scientist groups have made 803 similar calls, among them: Canadian Physicians, Israeli People’s Committee, Frontline COVID- 804 19 Critical Care Alliance, World Doctors Alliance, Doctors 4 Covid Ethics, and Plaintiff 805 America’s Frontline Doctors. These are healthcare professionals in the field who are seeing the 806 catastrophic and deadly results of the rushed vaccines, and reputed professors of science and 807 medicine, including the physician with the greatest number of COVID-19 scientific citations 808 worldwide. They accuse the government of deviating from long-standing policy to protect the 809 public. In the past, government has halted vaccine trials based on a tiny fraction – far less than 810 1% — of the number of unexplained deaths already recorded. The scientists all agree that the 811 spike protein (produced by the Vaccines) causes disease even without the virus, which has 812 motivated them to lend their imprimatur to, and risk their reputation and standing on, these 813 public objections. 814 Notwithstanding all of these risks and uncertainties, the federal government is 815 orchestrating a nationwide media campaign, funded with $1 billion, to promote the Vaccines. 816 The President has lent his voice to the campaign: “The bottom line is this: I promise you they are 817 safe. They are safe. And even more importantly, they are extremely effective. If you are 818 vaccinated, you are protected.” 36 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 37 of 68 819 820 821 822 The Vaccine EUAs are Unlawful — There are Adequate, Approved and Available Alternatives 823 Defendants – there are numerous alternative safe and effective treatments for COVID-19. Despite the misinformation being disseminated in the press – and, at times, by the 824 These alternatives are supported by over 300 studies, including randomized controlled 825 studies. Tens of thousands of physicians have publicly attested, and many have testified under 826 oath, as to the safety and efficacy of the alternatives. 827 treatments such as Ivermectin, Budesonide, Dexamethasone, convalescent plasma and 828 monoclonal antibodies, Vitamin D, Zinc, Azithromycin, Hydroxychloroquine, and Colchicine 829 are being used to great effect, and they are safer than the COVID-19 Vaccines. 15 Globally and in the United States, 830 Doctors from the Smith Center for Infectious Diseases and Urban Health and the Saint 831 Barnabas Medical Center have published an Observational Study on 255 Mechanically 832 Ventilated COVID Patients at the Beginning of the USA Pandemic, which states: “Causal 833 modeling establishes that weight-adjusted HCQ [Hydroxychloroquine] and AZM [Azithromycin] 834 therapy improves survival by over 100%.” 16 835 Observational studies in Delhi and Mexico City show dramatic reductions in COVID-19 836 case and death counts following the mass distribution of Ivermectin. These results align with 837 those of a study in Argentina, in which 800 healthcare professionals received Ivermectin, while 838 another 400 did not. Of the 800, not a single person contracted COVID-19, while more than half 839 of the control group did contract it. Dr. Pierre Kory, a lung specialist who has treated more 840 COVID-19 patients than most doctors, representing a group of some of the most highly 841 published physicians in the world, with over 2,000 peer reviewed publications among them, 15 16 Numerous studies can be reviewed here: https://c19early.com (visited Oct. 20, 2021). See: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.28.21258012v1 (visited Oct. 20, 2021) 37 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 38 of 68 842 testified before the U.S. Senate in December 2020. He testified that based on 9 months of review 843 of scientific data from 30 studies, Ivermectin obliterates transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus 844 and is a powerful prophylactic (if you take it, you will not contract COVID-19). 17 Four large 845 randomized controlled trials totaling over 1500 patients demonstrate that Ivermectin is safe and 846 effective as a prophylactic. In early outpatient treatment, three randomized controlled trials and 847 multiple observational studies show that Ivermectin reduces the need for hospitalization and 848 death in statistically significant numbers. In inpatient treatment, four randomized controlled 849 trials show that Ivermectin prevents death in a statistically significant, large magnitude. 850 Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2015 for its impacts on global health. 851 Inexplicably, the Defendants never formed or assigned a task force to research and review 852 existing alternatives for prev-enting and treating COVID-19. Instead, the Defendants and others 853 set about censoring both concerns about the Vaccines, and information about safe and effective 854 alternatives. The Vaccine EUAs are Unlawful — Information is Being Suppressed, and 855 856 Healthcare Professionals and Vaccine Subjects are Not Properly Informed 857 858 The Associated Press, Agence France Press, British Broadcasting Corporation, 859 CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Facebook, Financial Times, First 860 Draft, Google/YouTube, The Hindu Times, Microsoft, Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of 861 Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post and The New York Times all participate in the 862 “Trusted News Initiative” which has agreed to not allow any news critical of the Vaccines. 863 Individual physicians are being censored on social media platforms (e.g., Twitter, 864 Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), the modern day “public square.” Plaintiff AFLDS has recorded 17 See: https://covid19criticalcare.com/senate-testimony/ (visited Oct. 19, 2021) 38 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 39 of 68 865 innumerable instances of social media deleting scientific content posted by AFLDS members 866 that runs counter to the prevailing Vaccine narrative, and then banning them from the platform 867 altogether as users. Facebook has blocked the streaming of entire events at which AFLDS 868 Founder Dr. Simone Gold has been an invited guest, prior to her uttering a word. Other doctors 869 have been banned for posting or tweeting screenshots of government database VAERS. 870 YouTube censored the testimony of undersigned counsel Thomas Renz, Esq. before the Ohio 871 legislature. 872 The censorship also extends to medical journals. In an unprecedented move, the four 873 founding topic editors for the Frontiers in Pharmacology journal all resigned together due to 874 their collective inability to publish peer reviewed scientific data on various drugs for prophylaxis 875 and treatment of COVID-19. 876 Dr. Philippe Douste-Blazy, a cardiology physician, former France Health Minister, 2017 877 candidate for Director of the WHO and former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, 878 described the censorship in chilling detail: 879 880 881 882 883 884 885 886 887 888 889 890 891 892 The Lancet boss said “Now we are not going to be able to, basically, if this continues, publish any more clinical research data, because the pharmaceutical companies are so financially powerful today and are able to use such methodologies, as to have us accept papers which are apparently, methodologically perfect but in reality, which manage to conclude what they want to conclude.” … one of the greatest subjects never anyone could have believed … I have been doing research for 20 years in my life. I never thought the boss of The Lancet could say that. And the boss of the New England Journal of Medicine too. He even said it was “criminal” — the word was used by him. That is, if you will, when there is an outbreak like the COVID-19, in reality, there are people … us, we see “mortality” when you are a doctor or yourself, you see “suffering.” And there are people who see “dollars” — that’s it. In many instances, highly publicized attacks on early treatment alternatives seem to be 893 done in bad faith. For example, one study on Hydroxychloroquine overdosed study participants 894 by administering a multiple of the standard prescribed dose, and then reported the resulting 39 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 40 of 68 895 deaths as though they were not a result of the overdose. The 27 physician-scientist authors of the 896 study were civilly indicted and criminally investigated, and still the Journal of the American 897 Medical Association has not retracted the article. 898 899 900 901 G. The Vaccine EUAs are Unlawful — Inadequate System for Monitoring and Reporting Vaccine Adverse Events 902 regarding adverse events potentially caused by vaccines. Uniquely for COVID-19, the CDC has 903 developed a parallel system called “V-Safe.” V-Safe is an app on a smart phone which people 904 can use to report adverse events. Plaintiffs’ investigation indicates that vaccine subjects who are 905 provided with written information are given the V-Safe contact information. Plaintiffs cannot 906 access V-Safe data, since it is controlled exclusively by the CDC. Plaintiffs are concerned that 907 the information in V-Safe exceeds that in VAERS, in terms of volume and kind, defying 908 Congressional intent in creating VAERS. VAERS was established in 1986 in order to facilitate public access to information H. Human Experimentation and the Requirement of Informed Consent 909 910 911 “Involuntarily subjecting nonconsenting individuals to foreign substances with no known 912 therapeutic value — often under false pretenses and with deceptive practices hiding the nature of 913 the interference — is a classic example of invading the core of the bodily integrity protection.” 914 (Guertin v. Michigan, 912 F.3d 907, 920-21 (6th Cir. 2019)). 915 Federal Regulations and the Requirement of Voluntary, Informed Consent 916 Federal Regulations relating to the protection and informed consent of human subjects 917 further implement aspects of this norm and are binding legal obligations. 40 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 41 of 68 918 In 1962, via § 103 (b), Drug Amendments Act of 1962, Pub. L. 87-781, 76 Stat. 780, at 919 783, 18 Congress became concerned about subjecting humans to drug experiments without 920 informed consent. Later, in 1979, the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects 921 of Biomedical and Behavioral Research issued the Belmont Report, which addressed the issue of 922 informed consent in human experimentation. The Report identified respect for self-determination 923 by “autonomous persons” as the first of three “basic ethical principles” which “demands that 924 subjects enter into the research voluntarily and with adequate information.” Ultimately, the 925 principles of the Belmont Report, which itself was guided by the Nuremberg Code and the 926 Declaration of Helsinki, were adopted by the DHHS and FDA in their regulations requiring the 927 informed consent of human subjects in medical research. 928 U.S. Public Health Authorities’ Involvement in Unlawful Human Experimentation 929 It is entirely reasonable to posit that the U.S. public health establishment would in fact 930 design, fund, supervise and implement a non-consensual human medical experiment involving 931 the Vaccines, in conjunction with private sector actors, given its historical track record. On 932 October 1, 2010, President Obama apologized to the Guatemalan government and people for a 933 program of non-consensual human experimentation that had been funded and approved by the 934 U.S. Public Health Service (“PHS”) and implemented on the ground by a PHS doctor employed 935 for this purpose by private institutions but reporting to supervisors including PHS doctors. The 936 evidence was suppressed and remained buried until discovered by a private researcher in 2010. 937 A presidential commission investigated and found that in fact thousands of Guatemalans, 938 including orphans, insane asylum patients, prisoners and military conscripts, had been 18 Now codified at 21 U.S.C. § 355 (i). 41 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 42 of 68 939 intentionally exposed to syphilis, gonorrhea and other pathogens in furtherance of experiments 940 on the use of penicillin as a prophylaxis. 941 On May 16, 1997, President Clinton apologized to the African American community for 942 the so-called “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male”, a non-consensual 943 human medical experiment funded, organized and implemented by the PHS, again with 944 important private sector participation. This was the longest non-therapeutic, non-consensual 945 experiment on human beings in the history of public health, run by the PHS, spanning 40 years 946 from 1932 until its exposure by a whistleblower in 1972. The purpose of the study was to 947 observe the effects of untreated syphilis in black men and their family members. There are 948 numerous other examples, too many for inclusion here. 19 949 Targeting Children Who Are Intrinsically Unable to Consent 950 Within days of the FDA extending the Pfizer EUA to children ages 12 to 15, local 951 governments commenced hastily passing laws eliminating the requirement for parental consent, 952 and even parental knowledge, of medical treatments administered to children as young as 12. 953 This is intended to pave the way for children to receive the Vaccines at school, without parental 954 knowledge or consent. 955 However, children in the 12 to 18 age group are not developmentally capable of giving 956 voluntary, informed consent to the Vaccines. Their brains are rapidly changing and developing, 957 and their actions are guided more by the emotional and reactive amygdala and less by the 958 thoughtful, logical frontal cortex. Hormonal and body changes add to their emotional instability 959 and erratic judgment. Children also have a well-known and scientifically studied vulnerability to See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentation_in_the_United_States (visited Oct. 19, 2021) 19 42 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 43 of 68 960 pressure from peers and adults. This age group is particularly susceptible to pressure to do what 961 others see as the right thing to do - in this case, to be injected with the Vaccine “for the sake of 962 other people and society.” 963 That the American population, and children in particular, are being used as experimental 964 test subjects (guinea pigs) in medical experimentation using the Vaccines is undeniable. The 965 Texas State Senate heard sworn testimony on May 6, 2021 from Dr. Angelina Farella, a 966 pediatrician who has given tens of thousands of vaccinations in her office. She testified: 967 968 969 970 971 972 973 974 975 976 977 978 979 980 981 982 983 984 985 986 987 988 989 990 991 992 993 994 995 Dr. Farella: “I have given tens of thousands of vaccinations in my career. I am very pro-vax actually except when it comes to this covid vaccine … We are currently allowing children 16, 17 years old to get this vaccine, and they were never studied in this trial… Never before in history have we given medications that were not FDA approved to people who were not initially studied in the trial. There were no trial patients under the age of 18… They’re extrapolating the data from adults down to children and adolescents. This is not acceptable. Children are not little adults. … Children have 99.997% survivability from the Covid. Let me repeat that for you all to understand: 99.997%.” Senator Hall: “Has there been another vaccine that had the high incidents of serious hospitalizations and deaths that this vaccine is now showing? Dr. Farella: Sen. Hall: market?” Dr. Farella: “Not to this extent. Not even close.” “Any other vaccine would have been pulled from the “Absolutely.” Sen. Hall: “Have you seen any other vaccine that was put out for the public that skipped the animal tests?” Dr. Farella: “Never before. Especially for children.” Sen. Hall: “…Folks I think that’s important to understand here, that what we’re talking about is the American people … this is the test program.” Self-Disseminating Vaccine 43 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 44 of 68 996 The phenomenon of “self-disseminating vaccines” adds a new dimension to the problem 997 of the lack of informed consent. These vaccines spread automatically from the vaccinated to the 998 unvaccinated, without the knowledge or consent of the unvaccinated. They are not a science 999 fiction concept, rather they have been a research subject for years if not decades. 1000 1001 1002 1003 1004 Page 67 of the Pfizer EUA application describes the possibility of the passive “vaccination” of the unvaccinated through proximity to the vaccinated, including 1005 1006 1007 A female is found to be pregnant while being exposed or having been exposed to study intervention due to environmental exposure. Below are examples of environmental exposure during pregnancy: 1008 1009 1010 1011 1012 A female family member or healthcare provider reports that she is pregnant after having been exposed to the study intervention by inhalation or skin contact. Pursuant to the referenced document, each person getting the Pfizer Vaccine had to 1013 consent to the possibility of exposing pregnant women through inhalation or skin contact (note 1014 that pharmaceutical companies can only disclose actual, not purely speculative, risks). 1015 According to the document, an “exposure during pregnancy” event that must be reported to 1016 Pfizer within 24 hours occurs if: 1017 1018 A male participant who is receiving or has discontinued study intervention exposes a female partner prior to or around the time of conception. Further, an “exposure during breastfeeding” event occurs if “[a] female participant is found to be breastfeeding while receiving or after discontinuing study intervention.” 1019 There are worldwide reports of irregular and often very heavy vaginal bleeding in the 1020 unvaccinated who are near those who have been injected with the Vaccines, even in post- 1021 menopausal women. These public reports are scrubbed from the Internet rapidly, however 1022 Plaintiff AFLDS has also received innumerable emails from around the world with the same 1023 reports. It is well documented that the vaccinated have excessive bleeding and clotting disorders 44 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 45 of 68 1024 including vaginal 1025 thrombocytopenia. bleeding, miscarriages, gastrointestinal bleeding and immune 1026 Psychological Manipulation 1027 The idea of using fear to manipulate the public is not new, and is a strategy frequently 1028 deployed in public health. In June, 2020, three American public health professionals, concerned 1029 about the psychological effects of the continued use of fear-based appeals to the public in order 1030 to motivate compliance with extreme COVID-19 countermeasures, authored a piece for the 1031 journal Health Education and Behavior calling for an end to the fearmongering. In doing so, 1032 they acknowledged that fear has become an accepted public health strategy, and that it is being 1033 deployed aggressively in the United States in response to COVID-19: 1034 1035 1036 1037 1038 1039 1040 “… behavior change can result by increasing people’s perceived severity and perceived susceptibility of a health issue through heightened risk appraisal coupled by raising their self-efficacy and response-efficacy about a behavioral solution. In this model, fear is used as the trigger to increase perceived susceptibility and severity.” 1041 Force, published his study on techniques employed by communist captors to induce individual 1042 compliance from Air Force prisoners of war during the Korean War. The study was at the time 1043 and to some extent remains the core source for capture resistance training for the armed forces. 1044 The chart below compares the techniques used by North Korean communists with the fear-based 1045 messaging and COVID-19 countermeasures to which the American population has been In 1956, Dr. Alfred Biderman, a research social psychologist employed by the U.S. Air 45 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 46 of 68 1048 After more than a year of sustained psychological manipulation, the population is now 1049 weakened, frightened, desperate for a return of their freedoms, prosperity and normal lives, and 1050 especially vulnerable to pressure to take the Vaccine. The lockdowns and shutdowns, the myriad 1051 rules and regulations, the confusing and self-contradictory controls, the enforced docility, and the 1052 consequent demoralization, anxiety and helplessness are typical of authoritarian and totalitarian 1053 conditions. This degree of systemic and purposeful coercion means that Americans cannot give 1054 truly free and voluntary informed consent to the Vaccines. 1055 At the same time, the population is being subjected to an aggressive, coordinated media 1056 campaign promoting the Vaccines funded by the federal government with $1 billion. The media 46 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 47 of 68 1057 campaign is reinforced by a system of coercive rewards and penalties designed to induce 1058 vaccination. The federal government is offering a range of its own incentives, including free 1059 childcare. 1060 allowing them to enter into the “Vaxamillion” lottery with a total $5 million prize and the chance 1061 to win a fully funded college education, while barring entry for residents who decline the 1062 Vaccines. In New York, metro stations offer free passes to those receiving the Vaccine in the 1063 station. West Virginia is running a lottery exclusively for the vaccinated with free custom guns, 1064 trucks and lifetime hunting and fishing licenses, a free college education, and cash payments of 1065 $1.5 million and $600,000 as the prizes. Previously, the state offered a $100 savings bond for 1066 each injection with a Vaccine. New Mexican residents accepting the Vaccines will be entered 1067 into weekly drawings to take home a $250,000 prize, and those fully vaccinated by early August 1068 could win the grand prize of $5 million. In Oregon, the vaccinated can win $1 million, or one of 1069 36 separate $10,000 prizes through the state’s “Take Your Shot” campaign. Other state and local 1070 governments are partnering with fast food chains to offer free pizza, ice cream, hamburgers and 1071 other foods to the vaccinated. Many people are desperate following the last year of economic 1072 destruction and deprivation of basic freedoms, and they are especially vulnerable to this 1073 coercion. 1074 The Ohio Governor rewarded those Ohio residents accepting the Vaccines by The penalties take many forms, among them: 1075 1076 Using guilt and shame to make unvaccinated adults and children feel badly about themselves for refusing the Vaccines 1077 1078 Threatening the unvaccinated with false fears and anxieties about COVID-19, especially children who are at no risk statistically 1079 Removing the rights of those who are unvaccinated: 1080 Being prohibited from working 1081 Being prohibited from attending school or college 1082 Being limited in the ability to travel in buses, trains and planes 47 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 48 of 68 1083 Being prohibited from traveling outside the United States 1084 Being excluded from public and private events, such as performing arts venues. 1085 1086 The combined effect of (i) the suppression and censorship of information regarding the 1087 risks of the Vaccines, (ii) the failure to inform the public regarding the novel and experimental 1088 nature of the mRNA Vaccines, (iii) the suppression and censorship of information regarding 1089 alternative treatments, (iv) the failure to inform and properly educate the public that the Vaccines 1090 are not in fact “approved” by the FDA, (v) the failure to inform and properly educate the public 1091 that the DHHS Secretary has not determined that the Vaccines are “safe and effective” and on 1092 the contrary has merely determined that “it is reasonable to believe” that the Vaccines “may be 1093 effective” and that the benefits outweigh the risks, (vi) the sustained psychological manipulation 1094 of the public through official fear-based messaging regarding COVID-19, draconian 1095 countermeasures and a system of rewards and penalties, is to remove any possibility that Vaccine 1096 recipients are giving voluntary informed consent to the Vaccines. They are participants in a 1097 large scale, ongoing non-consensual human experiment. 1098 1099 1100 I. Conflicts-of-Interest While Plaintiffs make no allegations regarding the legality or illegality of the potential 1101 conflicts-of-interest identified herein, they are numerous, now well publicized, and may create an 1102 incentive to suppress alternative treatments while promoting and profiting from the experimental 1103 COVID-19 Vaccines. 1104 NIAID scientists developed the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine in collaboration with 1105 biotechnology company Moderna, Inc. NIAID Director Dr. Fauci referred to the Moderna 1106 COVID-19 Vaccine when he said: “Finding a safe and effective vaccine to prevent infection with 1107 SARS-CoV-2 is an urgent public health priority. This Phase 1 study, launched in record speed, is 48 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 49 of 68 1108 an important first step toward achieving that goal.” 20 NIAID scientists submitted an Employee 1109 Invention Report to the NIH Office of Technology Transfer in order to receive a share in the 1110 profits from the sale of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Each inventor stands to receive a 1111 personal payment of up to $150,000 annually from sales of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. 1112 NIAID stands to earn millions of dollars in revenue from the sale of the Moderna COVID-19 1113 Vaccine. 1114 The NIH Director stated the following in May 2020: “We do have some particular stake in 1115 the intellectual property behind Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine.” In fact, NIH and Moderna 1116 signed a contract in December 2019 that states “mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates are 1117 developed and jointly owned by the two parties.” Moderna, Inc. is currently valued at $25 1118 billion despite having no federally approved drugs on the market. 1119 The DHHS awarded $483 million in grants to Moderna, Inc. to accelerate the development 1120 of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Dr. Fauci could have focused on treatments, including 1121 treatments he previously advised were beneficial in countering SARS-CoV-1. Instead, Dr. Fauci 1122 directed the NIAID, NIH, Congress and the White House to develop the Vaccines, where he has 1123 financial and professional ties. 1124 Further, on May 11, 2021, Senator Rand Paul asked Dr. Anthony Fauci under oath about 1125 the origins of SARS CoV-2 and the NIH and NIAID funding for Gain-of-Function research, and 1126 Dr. Fauci stated to the Senator and to all of Congress and to the American people stating that the 1127 NIH and NIAID did not fund Gain-of-Function (making viruses more lethal) research when in 1128 fact, he provided at least $60 million funding. The Defendants obfuscate and profit financially, 1129 personally and professionally while the American people suffer.

VRBPAC makes recommendations 1134 to the FDA regarding whether or not to grant EUAs. The FDA is not bound to follow the 1135 VRBPAC’s recommendations, but should VRBPAC advise against approval, especially over 1136 safety concerns, it would make it harder for the FDA to move forward. 1137 1138 1139 1140 1141 1142 1143 1144 1145 1146 1147 1148 1149 1150 1151 1152 1153 1154 1155 1156 1157 1158 1159 1160 1161 1162 1163 1164 1165 The University of Florida Conflicts of Interest Program and the Project on Government Oversight report that numerous members of the VRBPAC have conflicts-of-interest: • Dr. Hana el-Sahly, the VRBPAC Chair, was working with Moderna, as one of the three lead investigators for the company’s 30,000 person trial of its Vaccine in July 2020.

Plaintiffs will supplement this pleading with that 1213 additional information as it is confirmed). IV. THE MANDATES ARE UNLAWFUL 1214 1215 On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14042 (86 Fed. Reg. 1216 50985), the purpose of which was to “decrease the spread of COVID–19, which will decrease 1217 worker absence, reduce labor costs, and improve the efficiency of contractors and subcontractors 1218 at sites where they are performing work for the Federal Government.” To achieve this goal, this 1219 Order directed that “new contracts” and similar agreements of the federal government to obtain 1220 goods and services from various vendors and manufacturers were to include certain COVID 1221 provisions therein. 1222 This Order directed the recently created Safer Federal Workforce Task Force to draft and 1223 develop a “Task Force Guidance” document by September 24, 2021 and submit the same to the 1224 Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and if that Director determines that such 1225 Guidance “will promote economy and efficiency in Federal contracting if adhered to by 1226 Government contractors and subcontractors”, that determination was to be published in the 1227 Federal Register. 1 1228 The “Task Force Guidance”, as with all such federal agency Guidances, is without force 1229 and effect as law because the same has not been promulgated as a “rule” pursuant to the 1230 Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, et seq., and 41 U.S.C. § 1707 (b). 1 That determination was so published in the Federal Register of September 28, 2021, 86 Fed.Reg. 53691. 52 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 53 of 68 1231 The determination of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget is without 1232 force and effect as law because it has not been promulgated as a “rule” pursuant to the 1233 Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, et seq., and 41 U.S.C. § 1707 (b). 1234 1235 The President claimed 3 U.S.C. § 301 as one statutory authority to issue Executive Order 14042. This section provides as follows: 1236 1237 1238 1239 1240 1241 1242 1243 1244 1245 1246 1247 1248 1249 1250 The President of the United States is authorized to designate and empower the head of any department or agency in the executive branch, or any official thereof who is required to be appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to perform without approval, ratification, or other action by the President (1) any function which is vested in the President by law, or (2) any function which such officer is required or authorized by law to perform only with or subject to the approval, ratification, or other action of the President: Provided, That nothing contained herein shall relieve the President of his responsibility in office for the acts of any such head or other official designated by him to perform such functions. Such designation and authorization shall be in writing, shall be published in the Federal Register, shall be subject to such terms, conditions, and limitations as the President may deem advisable, and shall be revocable at any time by the President in whole or in part. 1251 Services Act, 40 U.S.C. § 101, et seq., as statutory authority to issue Executive Order 14042. 1252 This section provides as follows: The President also claimed provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative 1253 1254 The purpose of this subtitle is to provide the Federal Government with an economical and efficient system for the following activities: 1255 1256 1257 1258 1259 1260 1261 1262 (1) Procuring and supplying property and nonpersonal services, and performing related functions including contracting, inspection, storage, issue, setting specifications, identification and classification, transportation and traffic management, establishment of pools or systems for transportation of Government personnel and property by motor vehicle within specific areas, management of public utility services, repairing and converting, establishment of inventory levels, establishment of forms and procedures, and representation before federal and state regulatory bodies. 1263 (2) Using available property. 1264 (3) Disposing of surplus property. 1265 (4) Records management. 53 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 54 of 68 1266 1267 The subsequent provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act are no broader than the purpose of this Act as set forth in § 101. 1268 However, these statutes do not provide the President with authority to impose vaccine 1269 mandates, and thus he lacks the statutory as well as constitutional authority to impose these 1270 mandates he may believe assist in a speedy resolution of the current COVID-19 crisis. 1271 Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952). 2 1272 On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14043 (86 Fed.Reg. 1273 50989, a copy of which is attached). The apparent objective of this Order was to mandate 1274 COVID-19 vaccinations for federal employees. As authority for this Order, the President relied 1275 upon 5 U.S.C. §§ 3301, 3302, and 7301 as permitting him to impose vaccine mandates on federal 1276 employees. 1277 5 U.S.C. § 3301 provides as follows: 1278 The President may— 1279 1280 1281 (1) prescribe such regulations for the admission of individuals into the civil service in the executive branch as will best promote the efficiency of that service; 1282 1283 (2) ascertain the fitness of applicants as to age, health, character, knowledge, and ability for the employment sought; and 1284 1285 (3) appoint and prescribe the duties of individuals to make inquiries for the purpose of this section. 1286 1287 The origin of § 3301 is found in § 9 of “An Act Making Appropriations for sundry civil 1288 Expenses of the Government for the fiscal Year ending June 30, eighteen hundred and seventy- 1289 two, and for other Purposes”, 16 Stat. 495, 514, ch. 114. This section was later incorporated into 1290 the Revised Statutes of 1873 as § 1753, and thereafter was incorporated into 5 U.S.C. § 631 2 See also Schaezlein v. Cabaniss, 135 Cal. 466, 471, 67 P. 755 (1902); State v. Marana Plantations, 75 Ariz. 111, 115, 252 P.2d 87 (1953); and Boreali v.

A part of this § 631 became § 3301 when this title of 1292 the U.S. Code was enacted into positive law in 1966. See Pub.L. 89-554, 80 Stat. 378, at 417. 1293 11. 5 U.S.C. § 3302 provides as follows: 1294 1295 (a) The President may prescribe rules which shall provide, as nearly as conditions of good administration warrant, for— 1296 1297 1298 1299 (1) open, competitive examinations for testing applicants for appointment in the competitive service which are practical in character and as far as possible relate to matters that fairly test the relative capacity and fitness of the applicants for the appointment sought; 1300 1301 (2) noncompetitive examinations when competent applicants do not compete after notice has been given of the existence of the vacancy; and 1302 1303 (3) authority for agencies to appoint, without regard to the provision of sections 3309 through 3318, candidates directly to positions for which— 1304 (A) public notice has been given; and 1305 1306 1307 1308 (B) the Office of Personnel Management has determined that there exists a severe shortage of candidates (or, with respect to the Department of Veterans Affairs, that there exists a severe shortage of highly qualified candidates) or that there is a critical hiring need. 1309 1310 The Office shall prescribe, by regulation, criteria for identifying such positions and may delegate authority to make determinations under such criteria. 1311 1312 1313 1314 1315 (b) An individual may be appointed in the competitive service only if he has passed an examination or is specifically excepted from examination under section 3302 of this title. This subsection does not take from the President any authority conferred by section 3301 of this title that is consistent with the provisions of this title governing the competitive service. 1316 1317 (c)(1) For the purpose of this subsection, the term “technician” has the meaning given such term by section 8337(h)(1) of this title. 1318 1319 1320 1321 (2) Notwithstanding a contrary provision of this title or of the rules and regulations prescribed under this title for the administration of the competitive service, an individual who served for at least 3 years as a technician acquires a competitive status for transfer to the competitive service if such individual— 1322 1323 (A) is involuntarily separated from service as a technician other than by removal for cause on charges of misconduct or delinquency; 1324 (B) passes a suitable noncompetitive examination; and 1325 1326 (C) transfers to the competitive service within 1 year after separating from service as a technician. 1327 1328 (d) The Office of Personnel Management shall promulgate regulations on the manner and extent that experience of an individual in a position other than the 55 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 56 of 68 1329 1330 1331 1332 1333 1334 1335 competitive service, such as the excepted service (as defined under section 2103) in the legislative or judicial branch, or in any private or nonprofit enterprise, may be considered in making appointments to a position in the competitive service (as defined under section 2102). In promulgating such regulations OPM shall not grant any preference based on the fact of service in the legislative or judicial branch. The regulations shall be consistent with the principles of equitable competition and merit based appointments. 1336 1337 1338 1339 (e) Employees at any place outside the District of Columbia where the President or the Office of Personnel Management directs that examinations be held shall allow the reasonable use of public buildings for, and in all proper ways facilitate, holding the examinations. 1340 1341 1342 1343 1344 (f)(1) Preference eligibles or veterans who have been separated from the armed forces under honorable conditions after 3 years or more of active service may not be denied the opportunity to compete for vacant positions for which the agency making the announcement will accept applications from individuals outside its own workforce under merit promotion procedures. 1345 1346 (2) If selected, a preference eligible or veteran described in paragraph (1) shall receive a career or career-conditional appointment, as appropriate. 1347 1348 (3) This subsection shall not be construed to confer an entitlement to veterans’ preference that is not otherwise required by law. 1349 1350 1351 1352 1353 1354 (4) The area of consideration for all merit promotion announcements which include consideration of individuals of the Federal workforce shall indicate that preference eligibles and veterans who have been separated from the armed forces under honorable conditions after 3 years or more of active service are eligible to apply. The announcements shall be publicized in accordance with section 3327. 1355 1356 1357 1358 1359 1360 (5) The Office of Personnel Management shall prescribe regulations necessary for the administration of this subsection. The regulations shall ensure that an individual who has completed an initial tour of active duty is not excluded from the application of this subsection because of having been released from such tour of duty shortly before completing 3 years of active service, having been honorably released from such duty. 1361 1362 Section 2 of “An act to regulate and improve the civil service of the United States”, 22 1363 Stat 403, ch. 27, enacted by Congress on January 16, 1883, is the genesis of § 3302. When the 1364 current U.S. Code was created in 1926, parts of this section were incorporated into 5 U.S.C. § 1365 633, and when this title of the U.S. Code was enacted into positive law in 1966, it became § 1366 3302. See Pub.L. 89-554, 80 Stat. 378, at 417. 56 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 57 of 68 1367 5 U.S.C. § 7301 provides as follows: 1368 The President may prescribe regulations for the conduct of employees in the executive 1369 branch. 1370 The origin of § 7301 is the same as that for § 3301: § 9 of “An Act Making 1371 Appropriations for sundry civil Expenses of the Government for the fiscal Year ending June 30, 1372 eighteen hundred and seventy-two, and for other Purposes”, 16 Stat. 495, 514, ch. 114. This § 9 1373 was later incorporated into the Revised Statutes of 1873 as § 1753 and was later incorporated 1374 into 5 U.S.C. § 631 when the U.S. Code was created in 1926. A single sentence of § 631 became 1375 § 7301 when this title of the U.S. Code was enacted into positive law in 1966. See Pub.L. 89- 1376 554, 80 Stat. 378, at 417. 1377 Sections 3301, 3302 and 7301 have the same meaning now as when they were laws 1378 adopted by Congress in 1873 and 1883. At that time, these sections were merely parts of federal 1379 civil service laws and the President then (as now) lacked authority to impose vaccine mandates 1380 on federal employees, either through these or any other statutes. 1381 To the extent that the President contends that Executive Orders 14042 and 14043 1382 authorize the imposition of mandatory vaccines, that construction would be illegal and contrary 1383 to the plain language of 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb–3 (e)(1)(A)(ii): recipients of an EUA vaccine must 1384 be informed “(III) of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the 1385 consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the 1386 product that are available and of their benefits and risks.” 57 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 58 of 68 1387 Pursuant to the above quoted § 360bbb–3, every American, possessed of the 1388 constitutional right to bodily integrity, 3 has the perfect right to refuse an EUA vaccination for 1389 any disease, whether COVID-19 or some other disease. 1390 COUNT I 1391 DECLARATORY JUDGMENT 1392 1393 1394 1395 § 360bbb–3(b) — Cessation of Public Health Emergency; APA (All Defendants) 1396 Plaintiffs adopt all of the preceding paragraphs and incorporate them by reference, as if fully set forth herein. 1397 The DHHS Secretary declared a “public health emergency” pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 1398 360bbb-3(b)(1)(C) on February 4, 2020, after finding that “there is a public health emergency 1399 that has a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of United 1400 States citizens living abroad, and that involves the virus that causes COVID-19.” 21 1401 It is clearly not the intention of the statute that the DHHS Secretary should be able to 1402 renew his declaration of a “public health emergency” in perpetuity when the basis for the 1403 emergency no longer exists. Further, the DHHS Secretary cannot continue renewing his 1404 emergency declaration as a pretense for dodging the licensing requirements for vaccines and 1405 other drugs all to the benefit of well-funded political partners. 1406 Further, in Home Building and Loan Association v. Blaisdell, 290 U.S. 398 (1934), the 1407 U.S. Supreme Court stated: “Whether an emergency exists upon which the continued operation Doe v. Moore, 410 F.3d 1337, 1343 (11th Cir. 2005) (“These special ‘liberty’ interests include ‘the rights to marry, to have children, to direct the education and upbringing of one’s children, to marital privacy, to use contraception, to bodily integrity, and to abortion.’”). 3 21 See https://www.fda.gov/media/147737/download (last visited June 7, 2021). 58 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 59 of 68 1408 of the law depends is always open to judicial inquiry.” 290 U.S. at 442, citing Chastleton Corp. 1409 v. Sinclair, 264 U.S. 543 (1924). 1410 In Sinclair, the Supreme Court stated: “A law depending upon the existence of 1411 emergency or other certain state of facts to uphold it may cease to operate if the emergency 1412 ceases or the facts change.” 264 U.S. at 547. 1413 Both Blaisdell and Sinclair are clear authority that an emergency and the rules 1414 promulgated thereunder must end when the facts of the situation no longer support the 1415 continuation of the emergency. 1416 They also forbid this Court to merely assume the existence of a “public health 1417 emergency” based on the pronouncements of the Defendants. They are clear authority that it is 1418 the duty of the court of first instance to grapple with this question and conduct an inquiry. “[A] 1419 Court is not at liberty to shut its eyes to an obvious mistake when the validity of the law depends 1420 upon the truth of what of what is declared.” Id. The Sinclair court instructed lower courts to 1421 inquire into the factual predicate underlying a declaration of emergency, where there appears to 1422 have been a change of circumstances: “the facts should be gathered and weighed by the court of 1423 first instance and the evidence preserved for consideration by this Court if necessary.” 264 U.S. 1424 at 549. 1425 Whereas one can make allowances for an initial, precautionary declaration of a “public 1426 health emergency” in the absence of reliable information and experience of SARS-CoV-2 and 1427 COVID-19 (though we do not concede this), over time that justification has worn thin and it is 1428 no longer valid. We are no longer in the nascent stage. There is a wealth of data. The 1429 Defendants’ own data demonstrates an undeniable change in circumstances, and that the 1430 exigencies underlying the “public health emergency” no longer exist, if they ever did. Plaintiffs 59 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 60 of 68 1431 have accumulated and will present expert medical and scientific evidence further supporting this 1432 contention. If the exigencies no longer exist, then the “public health emergency” must end. 1433 Plaintiffs therefore seek a Declaratory Judgment terminating the “public health emergency” 1434 declared by DHHS Secretary Azar and extended by DHHS Secretary Becerra, and the EUAs 1435 which are legally predicated upon that “public health emergency.” 1436 Plaintiffs therefore seek a Declaratory Judgment that: the actions of the Defendants are 1437 unlawful and arbitrary, capricious, not in accordance with § 360bbb-3, contrary to constitutional 1438 rights, powers, privileges and immunities, and in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority or 1439 limitations; that the exigencies underlying the “public health emergency” no longer exist, if they 1440 ever did; that the “public health emergency” has ended; and that in the absence of a “public 1441 health emergency” the Defendants lack any reason to continue to authorize the emergency use by 1442 the American public of the dangerous, experimental Vaccines, thereby nullifying all Vaccine 1443 EUAs as unlawful. 1444 COUNT II 1445 BODILY INTEGRITY 1446 1447 The Fundamental Right to Bodily Integrity Bars Mandates (All Defendants) 1448 1449 Plaintiffs adopt all of the preceding paragraphs and incorporate them by reference, as if fully set forth herein. 1450 There exists a fundamental right to bodily integrity in which the Supreme Court has 1451 recognized places “limits on governmental power to mandate medical treatment or to bar its 1452 rejection.” These limits stand so strongly that “a State's interest in the protection of life falls short 1453 of justifying any plenary override of individual liberty claims.” Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 60 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 61 of 68 1454 505 U.S. 833. This high standard indicates that ANY governmental intrusion on decisions related 1455 to bodily integrity should be reviewed under the strictest of scrutiny. 1456 Planned Parenthood v. Casey upheld rights related to abortion. Abortion results in the 1457 death of a child almost 100% of the time. This stands in stark contrast to the COVID-19 vaccines 1458 which carry unknown long-term risks (there have been no long-term studies), have the highest 1459 risk of side-effects, including death, of any vaccine in history, and are being mandated for a 1460 disease that has well over a 99% recovery rate for a vast majority of the population. 1461 1462 As such, Plaintiffs request injunctive and declaratory relief against any mandate or action that would lead to the mandate of the COVID-19 vaccines. 1463 COUNT III 1464 DECLARATORY JUDGMENT 1465 1466 1467 1468 § 360bbb–3(c) — Failure to Meet Criteria for Issuance of Vaccine EUAs; APA (All Defendants) 1469 Plaintiffs adopt all of the preceding paragraphs and incorporate them by reference, as if fully set forth herein. 1470 Under § 360bbb–3(c), the DHHS Secretary and his delegee, the Commissioner of the 1471 FDA, are authorized to issue and sustain the Vaccine EUAs “only if” they can satisfy certain 1472 criteria. As Plaintiffs have alleged and for the reasons set forth herein, the Defendants have failed 1473 to do so: 1474 1475 SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 are not “a serious or life-threatening disease or condition” for 99% of the population; 1476 1477 1478 1479 the scientific evidence and data available to the DHHS Secretary are not derived from “adequate and well-controlled” clinical trials, since the Vaccine trials are compressed, overlapping, incomplete and in many cases run by the Vaccine manufacturers themselves; 1480 1481 it is not “reasonable to believe” that the Vaccines “may be effective” in treating or preventing SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19; 61 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 62 of 68 1482 1483 1484 it is not “reasonable to believe” that “the known and potential benefits of the [Vaccines]” in preventing or treating SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 “outweigh the known and potential risks of the product”; and 1485 1486 1487 1488 1489 there are “adequate, approved, and available alternative[s] to the [Vaccines]” for preventing or treating SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, including inter alia Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine which are prescribed by doctors worldwide with great effect and are approved by physicians as meeting the standard of care among similarly situated medical professionals. 1490 Plaintiffs therefore seek a Declaratory Judgment that: the actions of the Defendants are 1491 unlawful and arbitrary, capricious, not in accordance with § 360bbb-3, contrary to constitutional 1492 rights, powers, privileges and immunities, and in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority or 1493 limitations; and that the Vaccine EUAs are an abuse of discretion (as violative of 21 U.S.C. 21 1494 U.S.C. § 352(j)) and unlawful, since the DHHS Secretary and his delegee the FDA 1495 Commissioner cannot meet the criteria for their issuance, thereby nullifying all Vaccine EUAs. 1496 COUNT IV 1497 DECLARATORY JUDGMENT 1498 1499 § 360bbb–3(e) — Failure to Establish Conditions for Vaccine EUAs; APA (All Defendants) 1500 1501 Plaintiffs adopt all of the preceding paragraphs and incorporate them by reference, as if fully set forth herein. 1502 § 360bbb–3(e) provides that the DHHS Secretary, as a condition to ongoing validity of 1503 the Vaccine EUAs, “shall [ ] establish” certain “[r]equired conditions” “designed to ensure” that 1504 both healthcare professionals and Vaccine recipients are duly informed of certain critical 1505 information. As Plaintiffs have alleged and for the reasons set forth herein, the Defendants have 1506 failed to do so: 1507 1508 1509 1510 neither healthcare professionals nor Vaccine recipients are being informed by the Defendants, and conditions do not exist ensuring that others will inform them, that the DHHS Secretary “has authorized the emergency use of the [Vaccines]” since they are not being informed of the true meaning of the EUAs, specifically, that the Secretary has not 62 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 63 of 68 1511 1512 1513 1514 1515 1516 1517 1518 determined that the Vaccines are “safe and effective” (notwithstanding the President’s widely publicized statements to the contrary, which are amplified daily by countless other governmental and private sector statements that the Vaccines are “safe and effective”), and that instead the DHHS Secretary has only determined that he has “reason to believe” that the Vaccines “may be effective” in treating or preventing SARS-CoV-2 and COVID19, based on trials of the Vaccines that are not being conducted like any previous trials and are compressed, overlapping, incomplete and in many instances conducted by the Vaccine manufacturers themselves; 1519 1520 1521 1522 1523 1524 1525 neither healthcare professionals nor Vaccine recipients are being informed by the Defendants, and conditions do not exist ensuring that others will inform them, of “the significant known and potential [ ] risks” of the Vaccines, since there is a coordinated campaign funded with $1 billion to extol the virtues of the Vaccines, and a simultaneous effort to censor information about the inefficacy of the Vaccines in preventing or treating SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, Vaccine risks, and injuries and deaths caused by the Vaccine; 1526 1527 1528 1529 Vaccine recipients are not being informed by the Defendants, who have a financial stake in the intellectual property underlying at least one Vaccine, and who have other financial conflicts of interest, and conditions do not exist ensuring that others will inform them, that there are alternatives to the Vaccines and of their benefits; 1530 1531 1532 1533 1534 Vaccine recipients are not being informed by the Defendants, and conditions do not exist ensuring that others will inform them, of their “option to accept or refuse” the Vaccines, since they have been saturated with unjustified fear-messaging regarding SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, psychologically manipulated, and coerced by a system of rewards and penalties that render the “option to [ ] refuse” meaningless; and 1535 1536 1537 1538 1539 1540 Appropriate conditions do not exist for “the monitoring and reporting of adverse events” since only a fraction (as low as 1%) of adverse events are reported to VAERS by physicians fearing liability, and the Defendants have established a parallel reporting system for COVID-19 that is not accessible by Plaintiffs or the rest of the public. 1541 unlawful and arbitrary, capricious, not in accordance with § 360bbb-3, contrary to constitutional 1542 rights, powers, privileges and immunities, and in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority or 1543 limitations; and that the Vaccine EUAs are an abuse of discretion (as violative of 21 U.S.C. 21 1544 U.S.C. § 352(j)), and unlawful, since the DHHS Secretary has not established and maintained the 1545 required conditions, thereby nullifying all Vaccine EUAs. 1546 Plaintiffs therefore seek a Declaratory Judgment that: the actions of the Defendants are COUNT V 63 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 64 of 68 1547 DECLARATORY JUDGMENT 1548 1549 45 CFR Part 46 — Protection of Human Subjects; APA (All Defendants) 1550 1551 Plaintiffs adopt all of the preceding paragraphs and incorporate them by reference, as if fully set forth herein. 1552 For all of the foregoing reasons, the deployment of the Vaccines into the general 1553 population constitutes an ongoing human experiment, or “clinical trial” for purposes of 45 CFR 1554 Part 46, and triggers the mandatory protections of human experiment subjects mandated by this 1555 extensive regulation. The Defendants have failed to implement those protections. 1556 For instance, 45 CFR § 46.405 states that DHHS will conduct or fund research involving 1557 children that presents “more than minimal risk” to the children “only if” an Institutional Review 1558 Board (“IRB”) reviews the proposed experiment and makes certain mandatory findings. One of 1559 those findings is that “[t]he risk is justified by the anticipated benefit to the subjects.” The very 1560 real and substantial risks of the Vaccines can never be justified when they are administered en 1561 masse to children under the age of 18, since they have statistically no risk from SARS-CoV-2 1562 and COVID-19. 1563 Plaintiffs therefore seek a Declaratory Judgment that: the actions of the Defendants are 1564 unlawful and arbitrary, capricious, not in accordance with § 360bbb-3, contrary to constitutional 1565 rights, powers, privileges and immunities, and in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority or 1566 limitations; and that the Vaccine EUAs are unlawful, since they violate 45 CFR Part 46, thereby 1567 nullifying all Vaccine EUAs. 1568 COUNT VI 1569 MANDAMUS 1570 1571 28 U.S.C. § 1361 (Individual Federal Defendants) 64 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 65 of 68 1572 The individual federal defendants have a clear duty to act to ensure the faithful 1573 implementation of § 360bbb-3 and 45 CFR Part 46, the provisions of which are mandatory and 1574 intended to protect Plaintiffs. 1575 There is “‘practically no other remedy.’” Collin v. Berryhill, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 1576 78222 at *9, quoting Helstoski v. Meanor, 442 U.S. 500, 505 (1979). Courts have held that the 1577 perceived medical urgencies created by COVID-19 itself, and also those created by the 1578 decisions, orders and actions of authorities responding to COVID-19, can make it impractical 1579 and inappropriate to force a plaintiff seeking mandamus to wait for alternative processes to run 1580 their course: 1581 1582 1583 1584 1585 1586 1587 1588 1589 1590 Moreover, given the broader context of the COVID-19 pandemic, we agree with the Fifth Circuit that ‘[i]n mill-run cases, it might be a sufficient remedy to simply wait for the expiration of the TRO, and then appeal an adverse preliminary injunction. In other cases, a surety bond may ensure that a party wrongfully enjoined can be compensated for any injury caused. Those methods would be woefully inadequate here.’(In re Rutledge, 956 F.3d 1018, (8th Cir. 2020), quoting In re Abbott, 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 10893 at *14.) 22 Plaintiffs therefore seek mandamus, compelling the individual federal defendants to perform the duties owed to them pursuant to § 360bbb-3 and 45 CFR Part 46. 1591 COUNT VII 1592 DECLARATORY JUDGMENT- 1593 1594 Plaintiffs adopt all of the preceding paragraphs and incorporate them by reference, as if fully set forth herein. 1595 Wherefore, Plaintiffs request the following declarations: The Supreme Court subsequently vacated the judgment in In re Abbott, and remanded to the Fifth Circuit with instructions to dismiss the case as moot, following the Texas Governor’s relaxation of his order restricting abortion as a non-essential surgical procedure, however the decision did not turn on an analysis of mandamus. See, Planned Parenthood Ctr. for Choice v. Abbott, 2021 U.S. LEXIS 647. 22 65 Case 2:21-cv-00702-CLM Document 30 Filed 10/29/21 Page 66 of 68 1596 1597 1598 A declaration that EOs 14042 and 14043 are invalid to authorize compulsory EUA vaccinations of American Citizens; 1599 A declaration that § 360bbb–3 permits an American citizen to refuse without adverse consequences any EUA vaccine. PRAYER FOR RELIEF 1600 1601 WHERFORE, and for the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs request that this Court: 1602 1603 1604 1605 1606 1607 1608 1609 1610 1611 1612 1613 1614 1615 1616 1617 1618 1619 1620 1621 1622 1623 1624 1625 1626 1627 1628 1629 (A) Declare that the exigencies underlying the DHHS Secretary’s declaration of a “public health emergency” under § 360bbb-3(b) never existed, or if they ever did exist, have since ceased to exist, and in the absence of those exigencies, the declaration of the “public health emergency”, the extensions thereof and the Vaccine EUAs are unlawful, null, void and terminated; (B) Declare that the DHHS Secretary and his delegee the Acting Commissioner of the FDA have failed to meet the criteria for issuing the Vaccine EUAs under § 360bbb-3(c), and therefore the Vaccine EUAs are unlawful, null, void and terminated; (C) Declare that the DHHS Secretary has failed to meet the conditions of authorization under § 360bbb-3(e), and therefore the Vaccine EUAs are unlawful, null, void and terminated; (D) Declare that the Defendants are engaged in non-consensual human experimentation in violation of their constitutional right to bodily integrity; (E) Declare that the Defendants have failed to meet the requirements of 45 CFR Part 46 for the protection of human subjects in medical experimentation; (F) Enjoin the enforcement of the challenged declaration of a “public health emergency” and further renewals thereof, the enforcement of the Vaccine EUAs; (G) Enjoin enforcement of any and all actions by Defendants in violation of the Constitutional right to Bodily Integrity. (H) Award Plaintiffs such other and additional relief as the Court deems fit. 1630 1631 VII.
