"On the surface, [government 'emergency acts'] claim to protect the public's health. But what it does is to allow the government to monitor, regulate, and control ---under penalty of imprisonment --- almost every facet of our lives, from how we eat, how we travel, the conduct of business, education, and even private gatherings." ~~~Jemy Gatdula.
"Unless we put Medical Freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship.
"To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic . . .
"The Constitution of the Republic should make special provision for Medical as well as Religious Freedom."
