| | By Katie Weisman and the Children's Health Defense Team On April 7th, we proposed that Vitamin D might be important in COVID-19 infections based on the timing of the pandemic and the “at risk” populations. We cited literature showing that Vitamin D sufficiency reduced the risk of acute respiratory infections and the severity of infection by other viruses. We found several studies using high-dose Vitamin D in patients on ventilators that showed improved outcomes including decreased mortality and called for even more research. Now, new studies in COVID-19 patients suggesti that Vitamin D sufficiency might reduce disease severity and death. | | | | | | | Recently, Dr. Joseph Mercola and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. sat down to discuss a variety of topics including dangerous coronavirus experiments led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the COVID-19 pandemic, evolving viruses and the resulting mutations, and why coronavirus vaccine development has proven very difficult over the past 30 years. | | | | | | | | |  | By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman, Children's Health Defense "Science, at its best, is a search for existential truth. Sometimes, however, those truths threaten powerful economic paradigms. Both science and democracy rely on the free flow of accurate information. Greedy corporations and captive government regulators have consistently shown themselves willing to twist, distort, falsify, and corrupt science, hide information, and censor open debate to protect personal power and corporate profits. Censorship is the fatal enemy of both democracy and public health." —Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Foreword, Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science In their best-selling book, Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science, Kent Heckenlivey and Dr. Judy Mikovits tell her story and show that stubborn orthodoxies anointed by pharmaceutical companies and corrupt government regulators to protect power and profits remain a dominant force in science and politics. | | | | | | | | | By Anne Dachel, CHD Contributing Writer, Age of Autism Editor, LossofBrainTrust.com Lost in the current COVID-19 crisis was the all but unnoticed update of the autism numbers at the end of March. Diagnoses are up from one in every 59 children to one in every 54 (one in 32, up from one in 34 in New Jersey) which was, as expected, attributed to spot-on recognition and possibly to an as yet unknown environmental factor, most likely older parents. There were several disturbing reports that should have warranted at least a fraction of the coverage that the current virus receives because long term, what’s happening to children will have an immense economic impact as well. Instead, when it comes to autism, we continue to be lulled into believing that the phenomenon only requires awareness and acceptance. | | | | | | | Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. participated in a compelling interview with Fran Drescher as part of her talk show series "Corona Care 4 You". The two discuss Pharma and government corruption, the health epidemics affecting so many children, problems in developing a coronavirus vaccine including paradoxical immune enhancement and much more. | | | | | | You Make It Possible Children's Health Defense depends on generous donations from our community.
