There is some talk about the state of New York resurrecting anti-Ebola Bill A416 for the purpose of creating concentration camps for anyone declining vaccines.

The New York state legislature convenes January 5, 2022, and if they vote and pass this Bill, the governor would have the power to remove from society power those the governor or his designees label as “sick” or who “may” pose a danger to others. What’s more, if enacted, the state government could detain sick-looking political opponents in a facility designated by the governor or his designee. New York police would be ordered to forcibly apprehend and detain anyone unvaccinated—even those who committed the “unpardonable sin” having caught and survived Covid-19, gaining natural immunity, and daring to walk in public with that natural immunity!

Our guest today, InVest USA President Michael A. Letts and I delve into this hot topic and what this may mean for NYC as well as the rest of the United States. Michael is a police officer offering a beat cop’s perspective on the concept of mandatory enforcement of arresting and detaining people in concentration camps. www.investusa.org

Founder and CEO, Dr. Aadeel Akhtar, was seven years old when he first started thinking about prosthetics and imagining what it would mean to help people with limb differences unleash the best in themselves. While visiting Pakistan with his parents, he met an amputee for the first time. She was his age and didn’t have the same access to healthcare that he did.
It was striking, even to a kid. How could they share a heritage but have such different lives? As he grew older, he came to understand the vast discrepancies in resources that people have around the world and right here in the United States. And so he started PSYONIC while in college to help develop advanced prostheses that are affordable for everyone.
What began as a small group of University of Illinois engineers has grown to include engineers, public health experts, social workers, and designers – along with an incredible group of doctors, clinicians, and non-profits working in the developing world. www.psyonic.io
