On September 2, 2022, Kim Monson explored America’s fear pandemic with child psychiatrist Dr. Mark McDonald, author of Freedom from Fear, and attorney Nicole Pearson, who represents families of children injured by forced COVID-19 vaccinations in California schools.
Dr. Mark McDonald, a child psychiatrist practicing in West Los Angeles, warns that America has undergone a fundamental transformation in its social norms since March 2020. The author of United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis and the newly released Freedom from Fear: A 12-Step Guide to Personal and National Recovery, McDonald identifies the mask as a symbol of this transformation, representing not personal choice but agreement with irrational dictates that attack the social fabric.
McDonald traveled to Bosnia, where citizens told him they value freedom and disobedience over compliance with government edicts. The psychiatrist found that in Sarajevo and Tuzla, where the word “Sloboda” meaning freedom names both a historic cafe and the local soccer team, residents distrust their government after decades of suffering. This commitment to independence, McDonald argues, now surpasses what exists in the United States, where compliance and obedience have become virtues rather than warning signs.
The youth generation particularly concerns McDonald, who observes in his practice that young people no longer rebel against authority figures but instead align themselves with government, media, and corporate messaging. Without the developmental push and pull between generations, these young people bypass normal identity formation and march in lockstep against manufactured enemies rather than thinking for themselves.
“We have been so distracted by this engineered political bipolarity, you know, right, left, Republican Democrat, that we’re missing the underlying, critical, unifying power of a human society that agrees on certain things like laws and customs and languages and borders in the nation state.”

Nicole Pearson, founding partner of the Law Offices of Nicole C. Pearson and founder of Facts, Law, Truth, Justice, represents two California families whose children received COVID-19 vaccinations at school clinics without their parents’ knowledge or consent. Both children now suffer injuries from these unauthorized medical interventions.
Pearson explains that the push for digital vaccine verification systems and policies allowing children as young as 12 (now amended to 15 due to bipartisan opposition) to consent to vaccines without parental involvement represents a dangerous erosion of parental rights. She questions who will monitor these children for adverse reactions when parents remain unaware of the vaccination, and who will bear the financial burden of treating vaccine injuries when parents never consented to the procedure.
The attorney describes what she calls a criminal enterprise operating under the guise of public health, where no-bid contracts flow to connected parties during perpetual states of emergency, officials are appointed rather than elected, and digital tracking systems prepare the groundwork for social credit scores. Pearson remains in California fighting these policies because she believes that as California goes, so goes the nation.
“We cannot have the government, these bureaucrats, these lifetime politicians, career politicians who are making money off of our suffering, be dictating what this looks like because they have zero incentive to make it look like anything that means less money in their pockets.”
