2022 OK Senate race: on Health Care


Joan Farr: Lawsuits would end pandemic; it's about population control

Q: Your views on vaccination policies and mandates?ÿ

A: Vaccination policies and mandates are a further example of outrageous government conduct. Mass pro se lawsuits would end the pandemic quickly since it's all about money/power/population control.

Joan Farr: Forced vaccines are a violation of your rights

Have you lost a loved one from Covid or your job for refusing the vaccine? Mass pro se lawsuits will end the pandemic -- not vaccines. You can learn how to DIY at AssocForHonestAttys.com, just click on "How to File a Federal Suit." If elected, I will ensure that your case is settled fairly an equitably.

Forced vaccines are a violation of your rights, especially the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Don't let anyone tell you different. My extensive research and experience shows that CIA agents are posing as minimally trained medical personnel in Wichita area hospitals to try and cause the death of patients from 'natural causes.' They are also extorting money from unsuspecting wealthy people using the court system. If elected, I will be working to ban the CIA in Kansas.

The coronavirus pandemic [was] begun by the Deep State.

Kendra Horn: COVID: we have to listen to advice of public health experts

[On the coronavirus pandemic]: "In order to get through this, we have to listen to the advice of public health experts. Those who understand how this virus works. This is not a political issue. It's not a partisan issue. But listening to the advice of our public health experts means wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, and doing the thing we know help prevent the spread," Horn said. "We know mask requirements work. We've seen it right here in Oklahoma City."

Madison Horn: Tackle challenges facing rural communities access to health

Our rural communities have endured a shortage of services for decades, something I have experienced firsthand. Oklahoma is one of the highest states without Health Insurance coverage. This fact, coupled with the lack of adequate rural healthcare facilities, have wreaked havoc on rural Oklahomans. Tackling these challenges will involve expanding access to health services, promoting competition in the prescription drug market, expanding telemedicine options, and a host of other initiatives.

T.W. Shannon: Wanted old VA hospital converted to mental health facility

Muskogee's Veterans Affairs Medical Center is recommended for closure, rather than transition to an in-patient mental health and treatment center. Holland criticized the recommendation. "When we worked together on the development of the new Tulsa VA Hospital, we developed plans with the VA to convert the Muskogee facility into a long-term mental health care facility," Holland said. "This type of facility is needed by our veteran community, and Muskogee is in a perfect position to serve them."

Kendra Horn: Mask mandates effectively decrease COVID risk

With Oklahoma still being in the red zone for COVID-19 cases, implementing mask mandates was one of the first issues highlighted. [Republican opponent Stephanie] Bice started the debate by making it clear that she does not support a nation-wide or state-wide mask mandate. She explained that it doesn't make sense, in her view, to have national mandates when the circumstances are different for each city and state. On top of that, she emphasized that the economy and schools can not take a back seat to the pandemic.

Horn, on the other hand, responded to the mask mandate question by saying that she does support it because health experts have suggested that wearing masks is an effective way of decreasing the spread of COVID-19.
