Thank you, Dear Readers
I launched this newsletter just over a year ago. I am so grateful for all of you who have accompanied me through these dizzying days of 2022. I look forward to another year ahead with all of you.
I launched this Substack newsletter Human Flourishing just over a year ago in September 2021 after filing my lawsuit challenging the University of California’s vaccine mandate in federal court. Many of you subscribed following the University’s retaliatory actions: placing me on “investigatory leave” in October, unpaid suspension in November, and dismissal in December of last year. The first and last of these drew considerable media attention: “Ethics Professor Disciplined and then Fired for Challenging Ethics of University’s Policy” made for interesting headlines.
I am pleased that this newsletter now reaches over 15,000 subscribers, including over 1,100 who are signed up for the paid subscription. I want to thank all of you, dear readers, for your generous support, your comments and feedback, and for sharing these articles with others in your network. I have put very few of these articles behind the paywall in an effort to reach the widest possible readership. At the same time, the revenue generated from the paid subscribers helped me and my family land on our feet this year after I lost my job at the university. Many of you signed up for the yearly subscription and have chosen to renew for another year—I am so grateful for this support and for the support of the monthly subscribers.
This generous support from paid subscriptions allows me to continue devoting time to not only writing and posting here, but also investing time in the lawsuits I’ve been involved in this year and will be initiating in the coming year. These include not only the suit challenging the University’s vaccine mandate (still in federal court at the appellate level), but our legal pressure on the CDC to recognize the science of natural immunity (which they finally did last month), our FOIA request to the FDA for the Pfizer clinical trials data, and the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit alleging collusion between government and social media to suppress the first amendment free speech rights of Americans. I will soon be filing another suit to challenge California’s Assembly Bill 2098 on the grounds that it suppresses the free speech rights of doctors in the state, and unduly intrudes on the doctor-patient relationship. Your support has also helped me devote time to other uncompensated activities, from speaking to large crowds gathered for Defeat the Mandates medical freedom rallies in Washington, DC and Los Angeles to testifying at the U.S. Senate and the California State Senate.
The time and energy I’ve devoted to these legal cases and public communications would not have been possible without your financial support, your encouragement, and your prayers. If you signed up for the free newsletter and feel so moved, perhaps consider a paid subscription or gift subscription. Every subscription helps to support the free content for readers for whom a subscription would be a financial burden.
Here’s my recent interview with Shabnam Mohamed of TrialSite News on several topics: our Missouri v. Biden case, the Pfizer FOIA data, the proposed WHO pandemic treaty, vaccine liability, and The New Abnormal.
And finally, these just arrived in the mail a few days ago…
The book will ship from from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Indie Bound, and other booksellers in a week or two. It will be available in Audiobook version as well in another month or two.
I’m fighting these battles for all of you, and for all those who were harmed by unjust and misguided public health policies over the last three years. Onwards!
Congratulations on your one-year Substack anniversary and a year of tremendous achievements on behalf of freedom, human rights, ethics, and humanity, Aaron! 🙌
We are so grateful for you ~ your integrity and passion are most appreciated! Please keep up your great work.
