Dear John,

Happy Independence Day!

On June 28, 1870, Congress passed a law making the Fourth of July a federal holiday in observance of our nation’s freedom from British rule. While Independence Day is a great opportunity to gather with loved ones for traditional summertime activities like barbecues and fireworks displays, it’s also a time to reflect on the crucial need to maintain the freedoms our founding fathers fought so hard to establish in 1776. 

The COVID crisis threatened medical freedoms like no other time in U.S. history. Refusing to take a risky rushed-to-market experimental mRNA injection threatened employment, military service, and freedom of movement as the unvaccinated were fired from their jobs and refused entrance to stores, restaurants, concerts and sporting events. 

Failure to comply with arbitrary restrictions like mask-wearing and social distancing, which research now shows did nothing to prevent the spread, led to consequences such as shunning and gaslighting. Some even experienced threats to their physical safety. 

Children’s Health Defense fought hard to hold on to all of our freedoms during the COVID crisis through science, information, advocacy and lawsuits. We thank not only our forefathers for their sacrifices in achieving autonomy but also the many brave people in the COVID era who realized the need to declare their independence against tyrannical policies by continuously standing up against them.

Our nation’s freedom wasn’t easily obtained and neither is its preservation. If we are to function as a free society, we must be steadfastly vigilant in protecting the individual liberties Americans hold dear.  

Please join us in declaring our independence — each and every day. 

Standing with you in freedom,

The Children’s Health Defense Team
