Take Courage - An interview with Warner Mendenhall and Dr Christopher Rake

Dr. Christopher Rake, is an anesthesiology specialist from Los Angeles, California and has over 19 years of experience in the medical field. He graduated from Tufts University School of Medicine in 2004.
Dr Rake was terminated from his position at UCLA on March 1, 2022, for refusing to receive the Covid vaccination. He has filed a class action lawsuit against the Regents of the University of California, along with 7 other lead plaintiffs.

Warner Mendenhall is representing Dr Rake in the lawsuit. Warner is a lawyer of 25 years and the Principal of the Mendenhall Law Group, in Ohio, USA. Warner is also part of the legal team representing Brook Jackson in the current case against Pfizer, regarding fraud in the Covid-19 clinical trial.

In this episode, we discuss the following:

- Dr Rake tells us why he became a doctor.

- Dr Rake tells us that he is a Christian, and he would sometimes pray over his patients at the hospital, if they agreed to it. A complaint was made about this, but not from a patient.

- Before Covid showed up, staff at his hospital were fighting the flu vaccine mandate. He tells us the Flu vaccine has poor effectivity. He applied for and was granted a religious exemption for the flu vaccine. Then in August 2021, the California State mandated the Covid shots for healthcare workers and they were to be vaccinated by September 30, 2021.

- He decided not to apply for a religious exemption for the Covid shot. It is a human rights issue and Dr Rake tells us that agreeing to the exemption means agreeing that they have some authority over your body.

-Dr Rake spoke at a couple of rallies, one at Santa Monica on August 29. He was escorted out of the UCLA hospital on October 4, 2021, for not having had a Covid shot. There was a video made of this, which went viral.

- He was put on administrative leave from Oct 4, 2021 and terminated on March 1, 2022.

- Warner describes the class action lawsuit. Dr Chris Rake is the lead plaintiff, and there are 7 other lead plaintiffs, they include registered nurses, and other doctors and healthcare workers. Some are vaccine injured, some did not take the vaccine but lost their jobs, like Dr Rake, for refusing to take the Covid shot. They are representative plaintiffs. The Defendants are the Regents of the University of California.

- Warner tells us that everyone in the UC system, all 220 000 employees had their rights violated by this Covid Vaccine mandate.

- In the California constitution, the privacy act includes a right to bodily autonomy. So the lawsuit has been brought under state law. Interestingly, the liberal governments used to have a concern over human rights and civil rights and incorporated the Nuremberg Code into the California Statutes. And now they have turned around and violated it.

- Warner met Dr Rake in Oct 2021 and the process of this lawsuit has been ongoing since then. They are up to their second amended complaint. 6

- We asked Warner if the defendants attempted to have the case dismissed. Yes, they did, but the case is past that stage now, and into the Discovery phase. The dismissal standards in California are better for the plaintiff then the federal court.

- The plaintiffs allege that the University of California(UC) is running an experiment on its own people and its collecting data and we want to see that data. The UC knows how many of their 220 000 employees have been injured by the shots. It’s an expensive process to analyse the data on the computer system and analysts must be hired, so the team needs to raise money to do this.

- Dr Rake tells us that the UC system is the largest university healthcare based system in the US, it serves 3.4 million patients annually. There is a treasure trove of medical information on these shots on that database. The team believes they will find fraud and corruption on that database.

- We asked why is the UC concealing the truth regarding the safety and efficacy of these shots. Warner reminds us that the UC is deeply embedded with the Dept of Defence. Professors’ salaries and departments’ salaries rely on this program. The UC has a long history in the eugenics movement and a lot of that fed Nazi Germany with ideas.

- At the end of the 19th century eugenics was openly discussed. The Jacobson decision (at beginning of 20th century) is part of that legacy. The Buck v Bell decision, when Carrie Buck was sterilized , was part of that movement. These cases still have standing. The Jacobson decision is still used in the courts to say vaccine mandates are legal.

- The UC gets more funding from the NIH than any other entity in the US. Dr Rake also points out how much money the UC was receiving from Medicare for testing and treatment of Covid patients.

- We discuss the ties that the University of California has had with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and this is mentioned in the lawsuit, particularly in the field of virology and including research of bat coronaviruses in 2005.

- Dr Rake made a video about an interview he conducted with Kristina Lawson, the president of the California Medical Board. Kristina Lawson is not a medical doctor, she is a lawyer. She is also a voting member of the FSMB, the Federal State Medical Board. We discuss the role of the California Medical Board, and the fact that she went on to lobby for AB2098 shortly after this interview. This bill would designate the dissemination of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or “COVID-19,” as unprofessional conduct. The bill was passed and then later struck from the books.

- Warner tells us what else is going in the Covid litigation space. 7 courts of appeals have handed out 10 appellate decisions in the last 3 months in favour of the employee, upholding rights at work to resist these Covid shots. He has never seen anything like it. It all started with the Groff v DeJoy decision last year. (see references).
