With the Nevada Legislature now well into the 82nd session, the picture of what pharma and the medical industrial complex would like to impose upon the citizens of Nevada is becoming clearer every day. In the first 30 days there have been 223 assembly bills introduced and 196 senate bills. We are expecting around 1200 by the time it’s all said and done. Our citizen activists have been struggling to keep up with the pace and to read through all the bills. Most legislators that we talk to are behind, even from where we at Health Freedom Nevada are, in sifting through the bills and flagging the concerning ones. We keep telling ourselves that it’s a marathon and not a sprint, but the pace at which the hearings are scheduled and citizen testimony for or against proposed legislation needs to be made is frenetic. With all of this said, I’d like to paint a picture of the scene so far. Multiple bills each cover a small portion of the overall goal. Exactly what the end game is or whose goal this is, nobody can say. But nonetheless here we are. Vaccines causing injury and illness require lifelong medical treatment. Drugs and medical procedures causing injury and illness require lifelong medical care. Gender “healthcare” requires lifelong medical treatment. Mental health and substance abuse disorders are generally treated with never ending cocktails of pharmaceuticals. Each of these bills contributes directly to the bottom lines of the pharmaceutical and healthcare companies. And to government, media, education, etc. It’s BIG BUSINESS. Arguably the biggest business of the 21st century.
A little ditty about medical totalitarianism
SB44 Moves Oral/Dental Industry into Public Health Sphere
As if the public health authorities as an arm of the pharmaceutical & medical industrial complex don’t already have enough power over us, they now want to bring the dental industry into and under the “public health” umbrella by creating a brand new Division of the Department of Health & Human Services dedicated to Oral Public Health. Currently the state dental & dental hygienist examiner boards fall under the jurisdiction of the Division of Health Care Financing and Policy. With this transfer (and those of the Oral Health Program and the Advisory Committee on State Program for Oral Health) the newly formed Oral Public Health Division of the DHHS will wield considerable power. This bill grants the State Dental Health Officer and the State Public Health Dental Hygienists oversight of this new division. It further removes the current requirement that these officers be licensed to practice in the state of Nevada in their respective fields and instead allows their appointment “on the basis of his or her education, training and experience and his or her interest in public dental health and related programs”. So they’re effectively incorporating the dental industry into the public health labrynth.
AB147 Allows Dentists and Hygienists to Administer Vaccines
This bill also adds dentists, dental hygienists and dental therapists to the official legal definition of “providers of healthcare” and creates “teledentistry”. It specifically allows “real time collaboration” by a licensed practitioner through teledentistry “with a person who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter, including, without limitation, a community health worker, teacher” etc. It allows for verbal consent as opposed to written consent from patients for treatment and it introduces the framework for “required dental examinations” for school and daycare admittance.
SB172 Ability of a Minor to Consent to “Certain Health Care Services”
Allows children under age 18 to consent to medical procedures and pharmaceutical drugs and removes parental consent and/or notification for the “prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy”. This includes the “administering of drugs or contraceptives to or performing medical or dental procedures for a minor without written consent from the parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor.” Including the HPV vaccine and any potential new vaccines such as the HIV shots that are currently being developed and are in the clinical trial stage. It could also include HIV and STD pre-exposure drugs.
SB131 Makes Nevada an Abortion Sanctuary State
“Prohibits health care licensing boards from disqualifying from licensure or disciplining a person for providing or assisting in the provision of certain reproductive health care services; prohibits the Governor from surrendering, or issuing an arrest warrant for, a person who is charged in another state with a criminal violation related to certain reproductive health care services; prohibiting state agencies from assisting in certain investigations and proceedings initiated in other states related to certain reproductive health care services; requiring certain health care licensing boards to examine the feasibility of reciprocal licensure for health care providers who provide reproductive health care services in other states; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.”
AB154 Regulates the Donation of Living Birth Tissue
This bill gives the state Board of Health oversight of donation of living birth tissue. While the bill specifies “Birth tissue” to mean “gestational tissue donated at the time of delivery of a living newborn child, placenta, Wharton’s jelly, amniotic fluid, chorionic membrane, amniotic membrane, placental disc, umbilical veins and umbilical tissue” it is not a stretch to consider the inclusion of the living tissue as related to abortion or fetal harvesting either now or at some point in the future.
SB109 Anatomical Gifts / Organ Donation Opt-In
This bill allows organs to be harvested from individuals who are alive and declared “braindead” by authorizing “a coroner or medical examiner to release and authorize the removal of part or all of a body in his or her custody for the purpose of transplantation upon the request of a procurement organization if: (1) the part or body is the subject of a valid anatomical gift; and (2) no evidence exists of the decedent having communicated a desire that his or her body or part not become anatomical gifts.” For those already deceased, it will allow “organ procurement companies” to petition a court for body parts if there is no family member or representative immediately identified and available to approve organ donation at the time of death. Given the time sensitive nature of organ donation, donation should only be allowed when there is clear evidence present that the decedent/donor wished to do so. Not the other way around as this is written.
SB132 Prohibits Insurance Companies from Discriminating Against Living Organ Donors
Requires insurance companies to cover medical expenses related to organ donation and transplantation and criminalizes discrimination against living organ donors in the form of denied coverage or higher premiums. This bill defines “living organ donor” to mean “a living person who donates one or more of his or her organs, including, without limitation, bone marrow, to be medically transplanted into the body of another person” which could certainly be applied to living but “braindead “ donors as referenced above with SB109.
SB153 Transgender Prisoners’ Bill of Rights
This bill “requires the Director of the Department of Corrections to adopt regulations
prescribing certain standards concerning offenders who are transgender, gender non-conforming, gender non-binary and intersex; requiring a program of facility training for correctional staff to include training in cultural competency for interacting with offenders who are transgender, gender non-conforming, gender non-binary and intersex; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.” This introduces Gender and other Disorders of Sexual Development into the Department of Corrections. With SB163 requiring public insurance programs to pay for “gender disorders” Nevada tax dollars will go to pay for these drugs and surgeries for prisoners. Furthermore it opens the door to the ability of the DOC to house inmates of the opposite sex with one another. We’ve seen how well that is working out in other states like New Jersey where a prisoner who “identified as a female” raped and impregnated two female co-inmates.SB163 Requires Public and Private Insurance Companies to Cover Gender & Other Disorders of Sexual Development
This bill requires that “an insurer that issues a policy of health insurance shall include in the policy coverage for the medically necessary treatment of conditions relating to gender dysphoria, gender incongruence and other disorders of sexual development. Such coverage must include, without limitation, coverage of medically necessary psychosocial and surgical intervention and any other medically necessary treatment for such disorders”. The bill further mentions pediatric patients in stating that the insurers “may prescribe requirements that must be satisfied before the insurer covers surgical treatment of conditions relating to gender dysphoria, gender incongruence and other disorders of sexual development for an insured who is less than 17 years of age.” The insurance companies “may” set conditions on medical and pharmaceutical treatments for minors; but they don’t have to. This bill should be amended to ban medical and pharmaceutical “gender care” for children!
I have previously written about legislation that was passed in the 2019 and 2021 sessions which are also pieces of this puzzle. We already have a law that requires every “provider of healthcare” to offer every single patient (down to age 13) at every single encounter whether they would like to be tested for HIV and other STDs. If SB44 passes and dentists become part of the “healthcare provider” network they will be required to ask every patient every time if they want to be tested. If AB147 passes, dentists will be permitted to give vaccines including the HPV which falls within the “sexual health” classification. If SB172 passes, minors will be able to medical and dental procedures related to “sexual health” without parental consent or notification. This could be vaccines or other “pre-exposure” pharmaceutical treatments related to “sexual health”. We already have a law that allows pharmacists to “treat” patients who test positive for HIV or other STDs by bypassing medical doctors and dispensing drugs directly to the “patient”. It could easily be expanded to include abortion and other “reproductive care”.
I have not spent much time or effort looking into the financial side of these bills but I must mention that many of these refer to financial reimbursement and payment for the medications and procedures mentioned. Federal funding from agencies such as Medicare and programs such as the CDC’s Vaccines For Children are big business for government and private industry. Everybody makes money along the way and We The People pay for it with our tax dollars.
The medical and pharmaceutical industries are preying upon our children and it is up to us adults to step up and protect kids from unnecessary and often harmful pharmaceutical and medical interventions which may have lifelong effects on the health of future generations of Nevadans.
