We start with fake news alert to Health Board, which says:
Warning! Even a family doctor can be the distributor of health misinformation
Example 1. Lasn shares anti-vaccine information, amplifying repeatedly refuted opinions that mRNA vaccines are “sods” that cause severe side effects and over-death. Lasn argues, among other things, that “consciously piling up a foreign protein in an organism is a deliberate harm to the organism.”
Reality: mRNA vaccines do not “pile up” the body’s foreign proteins. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies that help protect the body against pathogens. The antigens contained in the vaccines have been carefully selected and their quantities are very small. The human body is daily exposed to thousands of foreign proteins in food, air and the environment. The immune system is able to cope with them. mRNA breaks down rapidly in the body, usually within a few days. It also does not alter DNA, because mRNA does not enter the cell nucleus and does not affect our genetic material.
Example 2. Lasn seems to believe in the fact that “chemical clouds” are being sown in the air from airplanes, which are dangerous to health. She shares pictures of clouds on her wall and writes in one post: “We know that aluminum has a clear link to dementia and other diseases that take people to know where.” As evidence to support the claim, Lasn has cited a post that provides a list of “dangerous” compounds identified in rainwater, including aluminum. The post claims that this is one of the studies commissioned in connection with the case and cites the law firm of Riccardo Luz.
Reality: The theory of “chemical tails” is a widespread conspiracy theory that is not based on scientific evidence. The “tails” that arise after airplanes are actually traces of water vapor, which are formed high in the atmosphere when the hot exhaust of an aircraft engine meets cold air. Since condensation traces consist mainly of ice crystals, they do not pose a danger to human health. By the way, attorney Riccardo Luzi actually exists, but comments on this wildfire information like this: “It’s fake news where someone is using my name. I have not commissioned any studies.” Doubts should also have been raised about the list of detected compounds, since the content of aluminium in the list alone in rainwater is one that exceeds the limit value by 15,450 times (!).
Example 3. Lasn shares a video that seems to warn that U.S. President Joe Biden’s “latest attack” will remain the emergence of a new pandemic. The video focuses on avian influenza and gives the impression that a new widespread outbreak of the virus is being orchestrated by state authorities.
Reality: The author of the video is Steve Turley, who often spreads misinformation and conspiracy theories that are not based on evidence. Among other things, he believes, for example, in conspiracy theories of the New World Order. It’s also worth noting that while Turley’s name is preceded by the title “Dr.”, his Ph.D. from Durham University is not related to medicine, but he studied early Christian prayer practices.
It is true that the US government has prepared for a possible spread of avian influenza and implemented a number of preventive measures to do so, but there is no evidence that these actions are part of the “elicitation” of the pandemic. Actions include, in particular, the creation of vaccine stockpiles and the strengthening of surveillance systems.
Why is it dangerous to spread such misinformation?
The position of a family doctor is based on trust and must be based on science. The dissemination of such paranoid and conspiracy-studded content is dangerous for a number of reasons.
- Misinformation can lead to changes in people’s health behaviour, which can lead to serious consequences. For example, anti-vaccine misinformation has reduced the number of vaccinated people protected against serious diseases and can lead to unexpected outbreaks. Unvaccinated children, who may die from diseases that are actually preventable with the vaccine, are particularly at risk.
- Misinformation can lead people to abandon evidence-based treatments and look for ineffective or dangerous alternatives. If such misinformation is spread by a family doctor, then this is especially dangerous, because his word carries more weight.
- The spread of misinformation can also increase social division, polarisation, and lead to hatred and distrust of state institutions. Misinformation also affects political behaviour, such as deciding who to vote for in elections.
The Health Board recalls that after their studies, doctors make a vow in which they promise to follow the principles of medical science and use only those treatments whose effectiveness has been scientifically and successfully proven through practice. Among other things, it is promised to keep high the honor of the medical profession in front of both patients and society as a whole.
The Estonian Code of Medical Ethics states, among other things, that a doctor behaves worthy of his profession in any situation. Thus, the vocation of a family doctor extends beyond the door of the office – it is a lifelong commitment to the health and well-being of the patient. The honor of the medical profession also means that if it is decided to share something with the public, then a heightened sense of criticism of the material will be maintained.
Unfortunately, none of the above examples rely on scientifically proven sources, but contain misleading opinions and false claims. Such posts sow confusion and lead readers to question facts that have actually already been scientifically explained.
The work of a family doctor requires a high level of professionalism, as well as a responsible attitude to the health of patients, which is why it is important to find a balance between personal beliefs and the principles of professional ethics. It doesn’t matter if this opposing story is being told in the cabinet or on social media – there can be a significant impact in both cases.
The Health Board finds that the dissemination of health misinformation is unacceptable and contrary to the expectations set for doctors. Although everyone is entitled to personal views, the public has an expectation of a system that ensures that the professional ethics of doctors are respected and allows, if necessary, to intervene if there is any doubt as to whether the patient’s well-being is really guaranteed. The dissemination of health misinformation could be one of the possible threat doubts in the future to be resolutely addressed.

And here is answer with Helen Lasn, who stands medical freedom and foundation of true science and human rights:
In response to the attack of the Health Board and the media on 17.01.2025.
First of all, thank you very much to so many people for their support.
In my opinion, Facebook is a place for sharing information and communication, where you can share just the kind of information that seems necessary and relevant at the moment. We have experienced censorship of the media and Facebook, and we know that today we live in a post-truth society where only one type of worldview is allowed and there is no place for questions and doubts. Yet we know that science itself is always doubtful and question-asking. However, I will not dwell on this now.
Thanks to my membership in international organisations that bring together experts from many different fields, my field of information is extensive and global. Through this, I can see how much new information and evidence-based research is constantly being added around the world. Unfortunately, it seems that the Health Board (TA) is still relying on an information base dating back to the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. Today, however, as we are already in 2025, we need a more up-to-date and multifaceted approach.
The appeals and articles of our organizations that touch on important points have not reached them. They probably haven’t even read the appeals we’ve sent repeatedly over the past few years. The last very important international appeal was sent on 26.2024, which can be found here: https://northgroup.info/estonia.html
All interested parties have the opportunity to get acquainted with our materials here:

As for the other points, from 20.01.2025 a new information age will begin, and more information about them will probably be available in the mainstream media in the near future.
It is particularly surprising that HE even denies geoengineering, its decades-long widespread use, and its scale. In fact, HE himself should be aware of its content and risks and raise them in society. My job is to be a doctor who assesses health risks, but I can’t and don’t have to do the work that TA does. I suggest that TA familiarize itself thoroughly with the subject before engaging in a public attack.
More information about geoengineering:

I don’t quite understand the complaint in paragraph 3 – who or what does the TA think should control or organise it? I just had a question: Is Biden really ready for such a final move? At the same time, there is nothing to be surprised about, since the incitement of avian influenza has been a very conscious activity in the USA throughout the fall of 2024, and rapid vaccine production is taking place, as the Big Pharma media channel also confirms:
I consider it important to emphasise that on 17 January 2025, the Health Board and the media crossed the line of good practice. Instead of contacting me, information was circulated publicly and behind my back, which I consider to be direct damage and reputational damage. I see it as a conscious attempt at defamation, the purpose of which is not open dialogue, but to cause harm.
Having grown up in the midst of medicine and science myself, I am deeply familiar with the principles of bioethics, which proceed from important foundations:
- “Do no harm!”
- Put the well-being and rights of the individual above any institutional or special interests.
I believe that discussion and different points of view will move us forward. Instead of silencing each other, we need to find a way to support a society where the holistic picture and openness are valued.

Thank you to all the supporters!
And finally, yesterday news, what says corona terrorist Karmen Joller, who promos and injections of children behind parents’ backs and in schools, also member of Riigikogu, national parliament:
The Health Board wants an amendment to the law to tighten controls on doctors whose work does not correspond to science-based medicine.
There are doctors in Estonia who do not always adhere to the principles of evidence-based medicine, but their exact number is unknown.
“This is not only a question about family doctors, but there are also those among specialists who are not in favour of evidence-based treatment, but also among nurses,” said Karmen Joller, a member of parliament and family doctor.
There are also doctors whose prescribed alternative treatment prevents the patient from receiving the right treatment quickly enough, which may cause his or her health to deteriorate or be cancelled altogether. Joller calls it a crime.
“My party’s politicians and I will go to Finland next (this) Friday and see how the quality monitoring of health workers there is ensured. This is a global problem, it is not just a problem for Estonia,” Joller said.
But what is the solution?
“Of course, supervision is necessary. And we want to understand how that is supposed to work. Because right now we haven’t really had it, at least not in that regard. And we want to understand what would be legally right and fair,” Joller said.
“When it comes to those doctors who sell some essential oils or homeopathic remedies on the sidelines, they actually take advantage of people in fragile situations. And I think it’s a crime. And this is not only a crime against these people, but if they spread, wearing a white putty, such perceptions that vaccines are harmful or do not take drugs, then I think this is a crime against the Estonian people,” she added.
