Yesterday, on our live radio program, I mentioned that I had just received a press release from Washington Governor Bob Ferguson's office, dated September 3, 2025.
It began: "In response to recent federal actions that have undermined the independence of the CDC and raised concerns about the politicization of science, Washington, California, and Oregon are beginning the process to provide evidence-based unified recommendations to their residents regarding who should receive immunizations and to help ensure the public has access and credible information for confidence in vaccine safety and efficacy."
Then there was this:
OLYMPIA — Today, Washington Governor Bob Ferguson, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek announced they will launch a new West Coast Health Alliance to ensure residents remain protected by science, not politics. The alliance represents a unified regional response to the Trump Administration’s destruction of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) credibility and scientific integrity.
Let's take a closer look at "evidence-based unified recommendations."
And the promise to "protect our citizens by science, not politics." And to "not allow the people to be put at risk."
Be informed, not misled.
The threesome also made the following promise:
Joint statement from Governors Newsom, Kotek, and Ferguson:
“President Trump’s mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists — and his blatant politicization of the agency — is a direct assault on the health and safety of the American people. The CDC has become a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science, an ideology that will lead to severe health consequences. California, Oregon, and Washington will not allow the people of our states to be put at risk.”
The Press Release says, "We stand firmly with trusted medical professionals and organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, as well as fellow West Coast health agencies — whose guidance remains rooted in rigorous research and clinical expertise. Our commitment is to the health and safety of our communities, protecting lives through prevention, and not yielding to unsubstantiated theories that dismiss decades of proven public health practice.”
This is a link to the complete press release.
We also learned yesterday that "After big pharma made billions pushing the experimental jab, scientists now admit cheap over-the-counter nasal spray may block COVID infection in new peer-reviewed study."
For years, Americans were told their only hope was to roll up their sleeves for Pfizer, Moderna, and the rest of the vaccine cartel.
Trillions of dollars flowed into their coffers while dissenting doctors were silenced, families were divided, and countless workers lost their jobs under vaccine mandates.
However, a peer-reviewed study out of Germany now shows that a cheap, decades-old nasal spray, azelastine, may do what the so-called ‘miracle’ experimental COVID jabs never accomplished: stop infection.
According to new findings published in JAMA Internal Medicine this week, all it may have taken to block infections was a $10 bottle of over-the-counter nasal spray used for seasonal allergies.
The trial
Researchers at Saarland University Hospital in Germany ran a phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial on 450 healthy adults between March 2023 and July 2024.
Participants were randomly divided into two groups:
- 227 volunteers received azelastine nasal spray (a common antihistamine used for allergies) three times a day.
- 223 volunteers got a placebo spray.
All participants were tested for COVID twice per week for nearly two months.
The difference was undeniable:
- Infections in the placebo group: 15 out of 223 people (6.7%) caught COVID.
- Infections in the azelastine group: Only 5 out of 227 people (2.2%) got infected.
That’s a 67% reduction in risk of infection. The odds ratio came out to 0.31 (95% CI, 0.11–0.87; P = .02), meaning the nasal spray cut the likelihood of catching COVID by more than two-thirds, statistically significant.
Not only were fewer people infected, but those who did get sick had longer protection before infection (31 days on average versus 19 days in the placebo group) and shorter illness duration when measured by rapid tests (3.4 days vs 5.1 days).
The spray didn’t just block COVID. It also:
- Cut symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections from 6.3% (placebo) down to 1.8%.
- Reduced rhinovirus (common cold) infections from 6.3% to 1.8%.
- Slashed the overall number of PCR-confirmed infections (COVID + other respiratory viruses) from 22% in the placebo to 9.3% with azelastine.
Compare that to the COVID shots: expensive, rushed, mandated, and now known to have diminishing efficacy against new variants and side effects. The vaccines were pitched as our salvation, but couldn’t stop infection or transmission.
Yet a cheap generic nasal spray, already FDA-approved for allergies, outperformed them in a head-to-head prevention trial.
And it comes with minimal side effects. Most complaints were mild: bitter taste, nosebleeds, or tiredness. No serious adverse events were linked to the spray.
Takeaway
Consider this:
Major Brennan Schilperoort, a C‑130J transport aircraft pilot with nearly 17 years of service, has been facing severe consequences after his religious and medical objections to the COVID vaccine were consistently dismissed by the Air Force. The situation began in 2022, when his request for a religious exemption from the COVID‑19 vaccine was among many that were broadly denied. He was unable to fly during that period. Shortly after, he broadened his religious objection to include the flu shot as well.
Despite having a serious previous reaction to the flu vaccine, Maj. Schilperoort’s request for medical exemption was denied. He learned in September 2023 that his religious accommodation request hadn’t even been processed properly—he received only a Letter of Reprimand (LOR) accusing him of disobeying a lawful order to vaccinate.
His appeals through the Inspector General, Equal Opportunity channels, and even Congress yielded no relief. In October 2024, a discharge board recommended his separation from the Air Force due to the LOR, although he continues to formally contest the decision. Meanwhile, as of March 19, 2025, the Air Force placed him on a no‑pay status indefinitely, stripping him of financial support without warning—an unprecedented move outside of criminal cases, according to his attorney. This has left him grounded and financially vulnerable while awaiting a decision from the Secretary of the Air Force.
Major Schilperoort's case highlights concerns about procedural fairness and potential punitive intent.
It also raises broader questions about how religious and medical exemptions are handled within military ranks.
Major Schilperroot has now been vindicated by the Trump Administration.
And ultimately, it brings us to ask, will these kinds of Biden-esque abuses return to Leftist states like Washington, Oregon, and California with different names and faces, but punishment aplenty for all who hesitate? Or disagree? Especially people of faith?
Will they try to force us to take certain medications, while denying others to us---or else?
