With a message of personal empowerment and action, Dr. Ben Tapper recently hosted a unique fall gathering for CHD Nebraska Chapter members. The event offered attendees an opportunity to spend time with Nebraska’s own medical freedom advocate and hear firsthand about his journey.
The unassuming Dr. Tapper shared how his brief Omaha City Council testimony in 2020 went viral overnight, thrusting a local appearance into the national spotlight. His concerns about government overreach and public health leaders’ efforts to socially distance and mask citizens had struck a nerve.
What began as a simple, factual statement opened the door to a national platform from which he continued speaking out against what he viewed as false COVID-19 narratives, he said. He also used the platform to raise concerns about the influence of Big Pharma, corporate medicine and captured government agencies.
After hearing Dr. Tapper’s story, members and friends of CHD Nebraska mingled into the evening, learning and connecting with each other, and with Dr. Tapper and his family. Nestled in thick woods, the almost fairytale-like property provided a beautiful setting for the gathering. Although the evening breeze prevented a planned bonfire, there was plenty of camaraderie, conversations, snacks and warm beverages.
Dr. Tapper’s key message to CHD Nebraska was empowering: We each have the ability to get involved and make a difference in our own way, starting in our communities.
Among the attendees were some Omahans working to amend dangerous hospital COVID-19 protocols, and others who have fought employers over mandated shots. As Dr. Tapper noted, “we all have a COVID story, and we all want change.”
Dr. Tapper also shared some of his favorite reads, including: “Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak”; “Vaccines, Amen: The Religion of Vaccines”; “Toxic Mold Book: How to remove mold and mycotoxins from your home”; “Moving Beyond the COVID-19 Lies: Restoring Health & Hope for Humanity”; and a special book his father passed on to him: “The Facts Against Compulsory Vaccinations.”
Originally published in 1929 by the Citizens Medical Reference Bureau and authored by Harry Bernhardt Anderson, “The Facts Against Compulsory Vaccinations” outlines early 20th-century arguments against mandatory procedures — principally smallpox vaccination mandates.
It also explores the intersection of individual liberty, bodily autonomy, parental rights and public health laws, citing historical and legal objections of the era.
Dr. Tapper also updated the group on the federal lawsuit working its way through the courts having to do with the suppression of freedom of speech.
He is also part of a lawsuit spearheaded by Children’s Health Defense and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in response to the censorship Dr. Tapper and 11 others faced when the Center for Countering Digital Hate named him one of the “Disinformation Dozen.”
CHD Nebraska’s next event is a Dec. 16 screening of the upcoming movie from Mikki Willis, “Bad Medicine,” which chronicles the dangerous COVID-19 hospital protocols that led to the deaths of over 1 million Americans.
