Russell Alexander Law Firm Says Unvaccinated Parents
Risk Losing Custody of Their Children
Judges across Canada are continuing to side with parents who choose to vaccinate
TORONTO, Ontario—Citing several recent cases, Ontario family lawyer Russell Alexander issued a new warning that parents who have not received the coronavirus vaccine or are not up to date on their vaccinations for Covid-19 may be at risk of losing custody or other access to their children.
In one notable recent case, a judge in New Brunswick ruled in favor of a mother while the unvaccinated father lost custody of his children, including his immunocompromised 10-year-old. Justice Nathalie Godbout said it was necessary for the child’s health and ruled the mother could vaccinate the children without the father’s consent. A similar outcome was ordered in Alberta and Ontario.
“Judges are continuing to make decisions about who gets custody of the children based on whether the parents are vaccinated because they feel having parents protected from Covid is in the best interest of the children,” said Alexander, founder of the Russell Alexander Collaborative Family Lawyers which has offices throughout Ontario. “No matter your parental involvement, by refusing to get the coronavirus vaccine you’re taking a risk that a judge may rule against you in a custody case”
Alexander said that there are exceptions, such as when a parent has had adverse reactions to vaccines in the past, but he said those people should get ahead of any potential legal trouble by getting a note from their doctor and being able to document their reasons should it come up in a legal hearing.
He added that vaccinations could also affect travel, as some are increasingly being asked to show proof of vaccination; work, as many federally regulated industries and some colleges are requiring vaccination; and entertainment, as theaters and professional sports groups are considering vaccination requirements.=
“Unvaccinated parents are putting themselves in serious risk of losing time with their children, unless they are eligible for exemptions,” said Alexander. “A parent who is not following the medical advice of their family doctor and putting their children at risk unnecessarily, is going to be questioned by a judge for their reasoning and face potentially grave impacts on their child custody case.”

Top NYC Doc Preventing Blindness in People of Color
New York, NY, February 8, 2022 — Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in African Americans and people from the Caribbean, but there is a simple way to prevent the devastating effects of glaucoma: Don’t skip your eyecare visits, advises Dr. Daniel Laroche, Director of Glaucoma Services and President of Advanced Eyecare of New York.
What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a disease of the eye characterized by three components:
1. Damage and loss of the retinal ganglions cells and optic nerve described as cupping
2. Loss of visual field
3. Usually increased eye pressure (the mean normal eye pressure is 15mmHG)
In most cases of glaucoma, there is no pain, and the loss of vision occurs slowly from peripheral to central. Many people do not even realize it’s happening until they have lost a substantial amount of peripheral vision.
People at risk for glaucoma include the elderly, Black people, people with elevated eye pressure, primary relatives with glaucoma, persons with high myopia, high hyperopia, history of eye trauma and diabetes.
Early cataract surgery and trabecular bypass have become the best options to stop vision loss in patients with glaucoma. The current use of eyedrops and laser help to lower intraocular pressure but do not address the causative mechanism of the glaucoma being the enlarged lens. Incisional cataract surgery and glaucoma surgery is often needed to truly stabilize glaucoma.
All people should be screened regularly for glaucoma as part of a medical eye exam that includes gonioscopy (examination of the drainage angle), intraocular pressure measurement with Goldmann applanation tonometry and a dilated optic nerve examination. If there appears to be any damage to the optic nerve or abnormal pressure, then a visual field test should be performed, and optic nerve photos taken. Persons with thin corneas should be more aggressively monitored and treated for glaucoma as the disease tends to be worse in these patients.
If you have eye pressure or glaucoma and feel that you may be losing vision, Dr. Laroche recommends that you seek the care of a glaucoma specialist for a second opinion. DON’T GO BLIND FROM GLAUCOMA! People with conditions such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy that could lead to blindness if left unchecked need to stay particularly vigilant with checkups.
“Eyesight or human vision is one of the most important senses,” Dr. LaRoche says. “As much as 80 percent of what we feel comes through our sense of sight. By protecting the eyes, people will reduce the chance of blindness and vision loss while also staying on top of any developing eye diseases, such as glaucoma and cataracts.”
About Dr. Daniel Laroche
Dr. Laroche is an exceptional glaucoma specialist in New York. He studied and received his bachelor's degree from New York University and a medical doctorate with honors in research from Weil Cornell University Medical College. He underwent a medical internship at Montefiore Hospital and finished his ophthalmology residency at Howard University Hospital in Washington D.C., where he was the chief resident in his third year. He later completed his glaucoma fellowship at New York Eye and Ear.

Valentine’s Day Tribute: Memoir on Spousal Grief and Single Parenting Proves Love Endures All
Mobile, AL, Feb. 8, 2022 — Author and political advocate Jason Fisher will release his memoir and testament to true love, To Where You Are, on Valentine's Day 2022. This moving tribute to his late wife details Fisher’s story of discovering unconditional love, dealing with grief and trauma after losing his wife and soulmate unexpectedly, becoming a single parent of a child with a rare disability, and forging a new path forward.
“I spent many years summoning the emotional courage to write this book—our love story. It kept calling to me, and I never gave up because it was a story worth telling,” says Fisher. “The memories that I made with my wife, particularly in the short time we were together with our daughter as a family, are priceless to me.”
The heartache following his young wife’s sudden death led Fisher on a tumultuous journey as a widower and a single father to a 2-year-old daughter with special needs, requiring him to adapt to a world he had never imagined facing. Through his grief and pain, Fisher is reminded of “how special my wife, Mandi, was as a person. She was the brightest star in my universe and taught me so much about the meaning of unconditional love.
“Life is unpredictable and can give you incredibly difficult challenges at times,” he continues. “The road to healing after facing a crisis is rarely straight or paved smoothly. Surrounding yourself with people who amplify the best version of yourself and give you that confidence boost when you need it most is paramount.”
Now seeing the world through a different lens, Fisher committed himself to speaking out when he saw things that needed to change. As he realized the considerable support needed to work full-time and care for a child with a disability, Fisher began to see that changes were needed in government legislation to make a positive, more meaningful difference in people’s lives.
Awakened by a new sense of purpose, Fisher ran for the United States Senate in one of modern history's most watched races. “I wanted to use my personal experience, along with my academic and professional skill set, to give back in a more meaningful way. Mandi was an indirect catalyst and strong motivator for that happening,” he says.
“Through writing this book, and through watching my daughter grow and persevere, I have gained a measure of closure that eluded me for so long,” Fisher adds.
ABOUT JASON FISHER
Jason Fisher is a nonprofit executive, a passionate community advocate and a proud father to his daughter, Mackenzie, who has a rare chromosomal disorder and accompanying disabilities. He was married to his wife, Mandi, for nearly six years before she passed away unexpectedly at the age of 30.

Dying to Survive: Not in Vain, A Promise Kept Explores Life and Death Impact of Patient Advocacy
New York, NY, Feb. 8, 2021 — They were killing her mother with negligence, Melissa Mullamphy recalls. And eight months later, Mullamphy’s mother succumbed following a cancer battle fraught with frustration, medical missteps and the endless bureaucracy that goes hand in hand with navigating our complex healthcare system.
Not in Vain, A Promise Kept is Mullamphy’s candid account of her mother’s journey and the family’s roller coaster of emotions. Readers will witness the mistakes that compounded their pain, the small victories that gave them hope, and above all, the love that kept them going during an indescribably difficult time.
Each chapter in Not In Vain, A Promise Kept represents one month from her mother’s diagnosis to her passing. Mullamphy recalls the experiences with vivid detail (the names of doctors and nurses have been changed), hoping to prompt others to ask the tough questions and learn by her example.
“My goal in writing this book is to keep the promise that I made to my mom … to share her story so others don’t go through what she and my family went through,” Mullamphy says. “You can have input, control and make a difference in your loved one’s healthcare.”
Mullamphy shares shocking lapses in her mother’s care, including blood clots the doctor fails to notice, the confusion surrounding her mother’s DNR order, the time she found her mother wearing another patient’s bracelet and the unspeakable heartbreak of learning that that all along, the hospital had used the wrong type of chemotherapy drug for her mother’s specific cancer.
Not In Vain, A Promise Kept is not without moments of hope, such as when the family is told the tumor has shrunk and when her mother’s last-ditch surgery to remove the tumor is declared “wildly successful.”
Ultimately, Not In Vain, A Promise Kept pays homage to a life well-lived and a woman well-loved, and it’s Mullamphy’s aim to help other patients and their loved ones find their voices, understand their rights and learn how to navigate a deeply complex, imperfect healthcare system.
“Use your voice, and remember that you are not there to make friends,” she adds. “Sometimes you have to be the biggest mouth in the room, but speaking up can save your loved one’s life.”
Author Melissa Mullamphy has a master’s degree in clinical psychology and has worked in psychiatric emergency rooms and step-down houses. Forever a student of mental health, she has also worked with many nonprofits, including those benefiting military veterans. For almost 20 years, she worked as a domestic operations manager for a major corporation. Following her experience with her mother’s cancer diagnosis and treatment, she began blogging about current events as they relate to healthcare.

Renowned Physician Reveals Findings of 18 Months of Research Regarding COVID-19
Los Angeles, CA, February 8, 2022 — Since January 2020, authors Peter R Breggin, M.D., and Ginger Ross Breggin worked fulltime for 18 months, examining what they call the “real” science surrounding COVID-19 and criticizing “the fraudulent science used to justify the suppression of personal and political liberty throughout the world.”
They reveal their findings in their new book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey. In it, they document what they term “the shocking corruption behind the pandemic catastrophe.” The Breggins detail “the motivations, conflicts of interest and deceitful collaborations of the major players behind draconian pandemic policies,” leading to what they describe as “the suppression of our personal freedoms.” They uncover what they say is the2015-2016 master plan created by Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab working with leading health officials in the U.S., the U.N. and WHO, as well as billionaires, international corporations and Chinese Communist officials.
The Breggins also expose what they claim is Anthony Fauci’s role in the pandemic, including his funding of gain-of-function research creating SARS-CoV pathogens in collaboration with China. They share the currently reduced standards for drug and vaccine approval by the FDA. They highlight their findings that inexpensive, effective and safe treatments for COVID-19, such as hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, are often suppressed in order to promote the vaccines. The government’s rampant fear mongering and totalitarianism disguised as public health policies, the authors say, “are fueling the demise of our health, our democracy and our freedom.”
The book has separate introductions by three of the world’s leading COVID-19 physicians: Peter McCullough, M.D, M.P.H.; Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko, M.D.; and Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D. The book has strong endorsements from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Paul Alexander, Ph.D., former consultant to the White House Coronavirus Task Force and the World Health Organization, who says its “depth and reach is beyond reproach . . . the most detailed, scientific and rational analysis to date . . . stunningly comprehensive and broad.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had this to say: “No other book than COVID-19 and the Global Predatorsso comprehensively covers the details of COVID-19 criminal conduct as well as its origins in a network of global predators seeking wealth and power at the expense of human freedom and prosperity, under cover of false public health policies.”
COVID-19 and the Global Predators concludes with hopeful and inspiring messages, a call to courage, and examples and guidance about how readers can retake their freedom personally and politically. The Breggins conclude, “We must revive our trust in each other. We must strengthen our belief in loving one another and in supporting each other’s liberty.”
About the Authors
Peter R. Breggin, M.D., is a lifelong reformer, called “The Conscience of Psychiatry” for his criticism of biological psychiatry and his advocacy for effective, empathic and ethical forms of psychological, educational and social approaches to emotional and psychological distress. He graduated from Harvard College with Honors, and his psychiatric training included a Teaching Fellowship at Harvard Medical School. He then became a fulltime consultant at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Since then, he has taught at several universities, including Johns Hopkins, George Mason, the University of Maryland and the Washington School of Psychiatry. He has been a medical expert in over 100 trials, many related to scientific issues in this book, and is now an expert in COVID-19 cases. He has authored 70 scientific articles, plus many medical books and bestsellers, including Talking Back to Prozac with his wife, Ginger Breggin.
Ginger Ross Breggin is also a lifelong reformer. She has been an editor of newspapers and magazines, and has a background in publishing and public relations. She has been Dr. Breggin’s partner in all his reform work since they married in 1984. She has coauthored or coedited four of his 20-plus books, including Talking Back to Prozac, which sold almost one million copies, and has helped develop and edit several others. In 2009, she edited and published The Conscience of Psychiatry: The Reform Work of Peter R. Breggin, MD, based on testimonials and media reports about her husband’s first 54 years (1954-2009) of efforts to improve his profession and to advocate for the rights of patients. Ginger manages most of their outreach and keeps in touch with innumerable individual leaders and groups involved in the treatment of COVID-19 and the movement to reinspire and to rescue freedom throughout the world.

Candid New Book Exposes Damage Done by Bad Boss Behaviors
Tempe, AZ, Feb. 9, 2022 — If you recognize aspects of your own misguided management tactics between the covers of How to Tell if You’re an A**Hole Boss, you are the problem! But it’s never too late to course-correct, advises veteran HR consultant Tamica Sears.
“I’m here to walk you through a self-discovery process that will make you not just a better boss but also a better leader and a better person,” Sears proclaims. “Sometimes, the truth hurts, but nothing good comes from ducking reality.”
An HR professional with more than 20 years of experience, Sears has analyzed and mediated situations involving a broad spectrum of management behaviors. In How to Tell if You’re an A**Hole Boss, she pulls no punches while breaking down the good, the bad and the ugly using fictionalized stories based on real-life encounters with difficult bosses.
Along the way, she provides actionable tips and tools for engaging with teams, retaining top talent, creating healthy work environments and much more. Even managers with excellent track records will find that Sears’ wisdom will help them boost their own levels of performance and effectiveness.
Discussions focusing on the clues to bad behavior such as, “You Enter a Room, and People Stop Talking,” or, “Your Employees Seem Pissed Off All the Time for No Reason,” populate the book and are intended to spur self-reflection.
How to Tell if You’re an A**Hole Boss, a humorous yet brutally honest book for bosses brave enough to glance in the mirror, offers a path to corrective redemption and is applicable to anyone who aspires to a position of authority within any organization.
“Changing your behavior is entirely up to you,” Sears emphasizes. “But if you do have the will to pursue a more productive path, read this book and it’ll definitely help you create a better future for you, your family, your team and your company.”
