COVID-19
How far is too far? How much is too much? The role of reason in pandemic control
How far is too far????
I have been watching with interest the great extremes Canadian municipalities have gone to in the great cause of ‘protecting’ Canadians.
While I do not deny the devastating effects of Covid 19 on those who are most vulnerable to its potential respiratory destruction, nor the basket of symptoms from fever to loss of taste, I am incredibly cynical of the extremism displayed in measures enacted by governmental bodies in each province!
The level of care exhibited by medical and health care professionals is awe inspiring, so much so that those in the medical front lines have bee publicly lauded and thanked, though probably not enough.
Those who are working in what is deemed essential services have been exemplary as well-grocery stores, drug stores and other retail outlets with goods necessary for survival.
Firstly, I have to question a few things. How was the list of essential services arrived at? And more importantly, what makes a church NON ESSENTIAL when a liquor store is still open? Spiritual care is far more long lasting (eternal) and beneficial to mental and family health than a retail outlet whose products, if mis used for self medication has led to destruction of marriages and incredible social destruction?
Secondly, if we are looking to banning activities with an eye to public safety, why is going to busy retail outlets deemed ‘safe’ when activities conducted outdoors, like going to parks or playgrounds are not safe or recommended.
It would make sense to me that any activity that occurs where there are few people, or protection via real glass or real distance, like camping and fishing or walking amidst our many parks and dog walk areas would be encouraged as opposed to being banned.
If anyone has gone into a Walmart or Superstore, and they are vulnerable or not necessarily well, the close contact with other shoppers accidental or on purpose, clearly does not fall under the no-contact or isolation recommendations.
Thirdly, if we, as a country are concerned about keeping people employed, why is there not a protocol in place to allow healthy workers to return to their employment to keep our economy going instead of keeping the 90 plus percent home and allowing our businesses to stagnate or potentially close? Why don’t we keep the vulnerable and symptom exhibiting Canadians home?
If anyone has been traveling, stay home.
With the isolation order and economic shut down in place, all of Canada is being considered guilty (carrier or ill with symptoms) instead of innocent (healthy) first!
Fourthly, where is our national, provincial and local leadership? With our national health spokesperson telling us to stay home for everyone’s protection, where is the voice of leadership that looks at this with a voice of reason and balance? One that provides guidance and humility that says, we can’t handle this on our own without REASON and without fear?
We also need to realize that without spiritual leaders coming to the forefront and providing calm, spiritually based principles for coping in this time where fear is the common currency and panic is the common denominator amongst communities.
In truth, science alone will not help us through this crisis, but rather a balanced approach that recognizes the sovereignty of God in our lives will take us through this. We need leaders who publicly espouse faith and humility, not a changing narrative in science that is being questioned worldwide.
Let us pray that the voice of reason and faith is louder than the cries of fear in our nation.

Hulscher interviews the two attorneys who filed criminal referrals in 7 states—triggering active criminal investigations into top COVID officials for murder, terrorism, and racketeering.
In this explosive episode of Focal Points, I sit down with two fearless attorneys from Vires Law Group—Rachel Rodriguez and Mimi Miller—who are leading a historic legal effort to hold top public health officials accountable for their actions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rachel, founder of the Vires Law Group in South Florida, entered the fight through early litigation against mask and vaccine mandates. Mimi, a former criminal prosecutor, joined Rachel in 2023. Together, they’ve now filed seven criminal referral requests to Attorneys General across the U.S. accusing Fauci and top COVID officials of serious crimes such as murder, racketeering, fraud, abuse, and terrorism. These efforts have already resulted in two active criminal investigations:

In this interview, we dive deep into the criminal referrals:
The Accused
Dr. Anthony Fauci – Former Director, NIAID
Dr. Cliff Lane – Deputy Director, NIAID
Dr. Francis Collins – Former Director, NIH
Dr. Deborah Birx – Former White House COVID Response Coordinator
Dr. Rochelle Walensky – Former Director, CDC
Dr. Stephen Hahn – Former Commissioner, FDA
Dr. Janet Woodcock – Principal Deputy Commissioner, FDA
Dr. Peter Hotez – Dean, National School of Tropical Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine
Dr. Robert Redfield – Former Director, CDC
Dr. Peter Daszak – President, EcoHealth Alliance
Dr. Ralph Baric – Professor, University of North Carolina
Dr. Rick Bright – Former Director, BARDA
Administrators of various hospital systems and care facilities.
Applicable Crimes
The Vires Law Group is seeking state criminal investigations into the aforementioned individuals. The charges outlined include:
Terrorism
Under many state laws, terrorism includes committing crimes to coerce or influence government policy or civilian behavior. The attorneys argue that public fear was deliberately manufactured to increase uptake of vaccines, drive compliance, and suppress dissent—via manipulated death counts, relentless fear-based media messaging, and denial of early treatment.
Murder & Involuntary Manslaughter
Patients were knowingly given lethal treatments such as remdesivir—despite it being pulled from an Ebola study for causing over 50% mortality. Families were denied the right to refuse treatment, and ventilators were used despite overwhelming evidence of fatal outcomes.
Aggravated Assault & Lack of Informed Consent
Patients were subjected to medical procedures—ventilators, remdesivir, and even COVID-19 vaccines—against their will or without informed consent. This constitutes unlawful bodily harm under most state statutes.
Racketeering (RICO)
The team alleges this was a coordinated scheme for profit—fueled by CARES Act incentives and PREP Act immunity—where hospital administrations financially benefited by complying with federal protocols at the expense of patient lives.
Abuse of Vulnerable Adults
Victims were elderly or incapacitated, often denied food, water, vitamins, and family visitation—all while being isolated and coerced into fatal treatment pathways.
Scope & Strategy
While the larger COVID response is under scrutiny, the petitions focus specifically on hospital homicides—where the legal case is strongest and where witnesses (survivors and next-of-kin) are actively seeking justice.
By targeting state-level criminal codes, the team bypasses federal hurdles and builds strategic, streamlined cases with clearly defined jurisdiction and causality.
The goal: create a roadmap for local prosecutors to pursue charges, without being overwhelmed or confused by federal overlap or civil legal complexities.
Victims, Whistleblowers & Ongoing Investigations
Two states have already opened active criminal investigations—though confidentiality laws prevent disclosure of details.
Over 200 victim cases are already included across the seven petitions, with many more expected to be added. These include next-of-kin statements, medical records, and evidence of systemic wrongdoing.
Former nurses, doctors, and hospital staff have come forward, risking their licenses and careers to expose the abuse, forced protocols, and fatal policies they witnessed firsthand.

“Chris Barber consistently followed the legal advice that he received from police officers, lawyers, and a Superior Court judge.”
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces that Chris Barber has asked the Ontario Court of Justice for a stay of proceedings against him. He argues that the legal advice given to him by police officers, lawyers, and a Superior Court judge during the Freedom Convoy was erroneous and that, as a result, the Crown is not entitled to convict him.
On April 3, 2025, Justice Heather Perkins-McVey of the Ontario Court of Justice found Mr. Barber guilty of mischief and of counselling others to breach a court order. That decision followed upon a lengthy 45-day trial stretching from September 2023 to September 2024.
Diane Magas, Chris Barber’s lawyer, filed a Stay of Proceedings Application with the Court on April 16, 2025. In that Application, Mr. Barber and his legal team argue that he did, in fact, seek legal advice regarding his actions during the Freedom Convoy protest.
For example, he followed Ottawa Police Services directions on where to park trucks in downtown Ottawa. When an officer asked him to move his truck, “Big Red,” from downtown Ottawa, he moved it. On February 7 and 16, 2022, his lawyer at the time advised him that Justice Maclean of the Superior Court had confirmed that the protest could continue so long as it continued to be peaceful and safe.
In essence, Chris Barber and his legal team are now arguing that he followed all legal advice that was given to him in 2022, but that some of the legal advice he was given turned out to be erroneous.
His Application argues for a stay of proceedings against him on the grounds that “he sought advice from lawyers, police officers, and a Superior Court Judge on the legality of the protest he was involved in.”
This Application was filed one day after Chris Barber was informed that the Crown was pursuing a two-year prison sentence against him. In an April 15 Facebook post, Mr. Barber wrote, “My family got bad news today. The Crown prosecutor wants to lock Tamara Lich and me in prison for two years-for standing up for freedom. They also want to [seize] my truck, Big Red, and crush her like she’s just scrap metal or sell it at auction.”
If the Application is successful, Mr. Barber would not see prison time, nor would his truck be seized.
“Throughout the peaceful Freedom Convoy, Chris Barber did what any law-abiding Canadian would do: seeking out and acting upon the best legal advice available to him,” stated John Carpay, President of the Justice Centre. “Chris Barber consistently followed the legal advice that he received from police officers, lawyers, and a Superior Court judge.”
“To hold a well-meaning man behind bars for two years and to confiscate his property, as is now demanded by the Crown, would bring the administration of justice into disrepute,” Mr. Carpay continued. “Crown prosecutors are painting a portrait of a dangerous criminal, even while Chris Barber sought out and followed legal advice when participating in the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa in 2022. Chris worked within the law when peacefully exercising his Charter freedoms of expression, assembly and association.”
