My husband and I had planned a one-week tour of the Olympic Peninsula beginning Sept 25. We have cancelled all of our plans at this time. This new ruling is not only illegal, but it is outrageous. Where is the scientific proof that this is good for our state or our population? People know what you are doing and won't stand for it I think a better idea is for all food handlers have to come to my table and show me their food handler card,the proof they don't have a temperature and I want a monitor in each bathroom to make sure they wash their hands. Science shows stats coming out of Israel,the first country to fully vaccinate a majority of its citizens now has one of the highest rates of covid. People know what is going,you are determined to destroy the businesses and lively hood of the people in the state of Washington. We have enough on our plates with illegal immigrants, a president who doesn't know what day it is and an election system that is corrupt. You people need to wake up.We have.You should be ashamed of yourselves. I just rethought our plans. Perhaps we will go on our car trip after all. We will search out any restaurants or bars who are not complying and give them our business.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Good Afternoon Jefferson County Board of Commissioners, I wanted to follow up with you regarding the funding request that Mason PUD No. 1 sent on July 19th. We were able to secure ARPA funding through the Mason County Board of Commission to assist with customer arrearages in our Mason County service territory, and were hoping to also be able to provide the same assistance to our Jefferson County customers with your help. Kristin Masteller, our General Manager, and I would be happy to discuss our request with you and the process we have developed to disburse the funds. I know Jefferson County had OlyCAP administer the CARES Act funding for customer assistance last fall, so if that is the plan for ARPA funding, we'd be happy to work with them using the same process we created for the CARES Act funding. With the disconnect moratorium ending on September 30th,we are working hard to get customers who've experienced financial hardship due to COVID the assistance they need so that they're able to catch up on their past due balances. With the colder months approaching, their monthly bills will be higher making it even harder to bring their accounts current. Again, we appreciate your time in consideration. w Katie AS• UN — , itli Katie Arnold District Treasurer and Director of Business Services 21971 N.

Box 1220 Port Townsend,WA 98368 Re: America Rescue Plan Funding Request Dear Commissioners, Mason PUD 1 respectfully submits this request for America Rescue Plan funds that Jefferson County will receive to assist our county's residents, businesses, and infrastructure projects. Mason PUD 1 has identified customer arrearages as one of our top funding priorities. Pursuant to guidance released by the U.S.Treasury on May 10, 2021,the application of ARPA funds for utility assistance is an allowable use under their"Address Negative Economic Impacts Caused by the Public Health Emergency"section, where they specifically call out utilities under"household assistance". Customer Arrearages Due to COVID Impacts $18,182.00 Many of Mason PUD 1's Jefferson County customers continue to struggle to bring their utility accounts current. Most of them make some amount of monthly payment, however with the utility disconnection moratorium and pandemic continuing for over 15 months now, over high winter bill months, the customer arrearages continue to climb, despite applying funding from our Canal Comfort Fund, LIHEAP and CARES. Following those winter bills, we now have over$125,000 in total arrearages, which is over 1,000%of our usual past-due amount in the years prior to the pandemic. The$18,182.00 in assistance funds would bring the 46 Jefferson County customers'past due accounts current. We would follow a process similar to the one that we employed for distributing the CARES Act through OlyCAP and would ask that you please forward the funds to OlyCAP and we will work with them to apply assistance to our PUD customers'accounts. We appreciate Jefferson County's actions to assist the county residents who continue to experience COVID-related financial hardships or are struggling to work their way out of COVID-caused debt. Thank you for your consideration of our request. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Commissioners, I know you have likely been getting some negativity as of late regarding the new Public Health measures from Dr Berry aimed at indoor dining and masking. I'm just writing to voice my opinion in complete support of Dr Berry and the newest mandates put in place. My family has taken COVID very seriously over the past 3.8+ months.We are all vaccinated and have been following the guidance set forth by Jefferson County Public Health.While it hasn't always been easy,we have been able to remain healthy and have watched other friends and family NOT following restrictions get COVID. Personally, I'm very happy to see the new restrictions on indoor dining to Vaccinated only. I recognize that this was a hard decision to make in light of rising case numbers, but I also recognize that this decision was a compromise, rather than shutting down indoor dining altogether. I feel safer dining indoors knowing that the humans I'm surrounded by are also vaccinated.This makes my family feel more at ease and is actually causing Vaccinated friends to want to dine in MORE—a benefit to local business. I completely support the decisions Dr Berry and other health officials in our county have made and have been very disheartened to see dissent by"anti-vaxxers"in town. I hope that in time they will understand that these decisions are made with the health of the community in mind.

Dear Commissioner Heisenhour, I often watch via Zoom the weekly Board of County Commissioners meetings on most Mondays. The meeting on Sept. 7 (Tues. due to holiday) was very crowded. I could not see most of the people attending. Nor is there a live comment feature on the right side of the screen. There were so many people wanting to comment that comments were limited to 2 minutes rather than the usual 3 minutes. Having the live scrolling comment feed on the right side of the screen would provide another opportunity for citizens to voice their concerns. Every BOCC meeting includes one or more Commissioners saying how much they enjoy hearing from the public. That being so, i hope the BOCC will increase visibility of who all is attending and add the live comment feed on the right side of the screen.

Good Evening, I learned that Dr.Allison Berry has received DEATH threats because of science based recommendations she has made to safe-guard public health. I fully support her recommendations. I am tired of reading in the news about people that did not want to be vaccinated that regretted their choice on their deathbed. I am tired of hearing about the pain the health care workers are experiencing for what now seems to be preventable. I am asking that the Commission support Dr. Allison Berry, issue a proclamation in support of Dr. Barry, health care workers and other front line workers and issue a condemnation of bullying efforts of anti-Vac and anti-mask persons.

I'm very sorry to hear that this is the case, but wanted to reach out to you to say a couple things. Though we didn't cross paths too often,with me being in PA and you over there in PT, I hope you know that it has always been a sincere pleasure to intersect with you (even the one time on the trail to Mt.Townsend!) and to share in our common commitment to trails, and especially to the ODT. There are plenty of us still working toward that vision who remember clearly what a vital and seminal leader you were in the early days of trying to make progress on the ODT in Jefferson County. We have long understood how important you were, alongside other commissioners, in accomplishing the pieces of the Larry Scott Trail, and we are carrying that work forward as we pursue the "ODT-Eaglemount" section that will connect the Larry Scott Trail to the existing ODT at Discovery Bay. I certainly hope you take great pride in your role in all that (to say nothing of all your other accomplishments in your teaching career and lengthy public service in so many capacities)—you've accomplished much, sir!

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links,especially from unknown senders. Dear Commissioners, I write in support of the vaccine mandate Dr. Berry has implemented for restaurants and bars because those are the primary indoor spaces where people are unmasked due to eating and drinking. It makes sense to have a specific mandates apply for restaurants and bars. I know that most of us would be more comfortable going out to eat or drink knowing we are safer in those spaces because of a vaccine mandate. Despite the protestation of folks against the mandate,checking for proof of vaccination is no more difficult than checking ID's at the door to check for age compliance. Public health is NOT political! Dr. Berry makes recommendations and decisions based on the science of public health, not political persuasion. yours sincerely, Sara Ybarra Lopez and Mark Twain Stevenson Precinct 107 1 jeffbocc From: Bill Wise <ptwise@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, September 9, 2021 9:01 AM To: Commissioners@jeffersonhealthcare.org; Mike Glenn; Board of Health;jeffbocc Subject: Supporting Dr.Allison Berry and our Healthcare Workers CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. It is deeply troubling that there are people in our community who use intimidation and threat as a means of achieving their goals. Dr. Berry and our healthcare workers have worked for so long under the stress of Covid. And now to face this violent action is just unthinkable. Clearly I condemn the actions of those that threaten and intimidate. But this seems inadequate to the task of protecting and supporting our healthcare workers. I wish I could come up with some tactic or plan to combat these threats. I trust in your leadership and encourage any possible actions you might consider to lessen this burden and to support our healthcare workers.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. This is happening to us now. A loved one was denied treatment at Jefferson because "she wasn't dying and if she stayed at the hospital, she might because it was full of covid upstairs." The current crises is not the fault of the non-vaxers, but rather the fault of the government--yes, even you,the local government---that coddles them. It's time to hold the non-vaxers accountable in some way. What would you do if someone was standing between someone you loved and their health care?What would you expect the local government to do in that situation?

Dear Commissioners, I am a voter who has lived in Jefferson County for 15 years. I am writing to urge you to support Dr. Allison Barry and the new Jefferson County mandate that only allows vaccinated diners to eat indoors... The feelings some people are having about freedoms are one-sided as they run roughshod over the freedoms of the vaccinated and those careful to live-and dine-safely.Two who work for the ACLU articulated the truth about the 'freedoms' argument here: https://www.nvtimes.com/2021/09/02/opinion/covid-vaccine-mandates-civil- liberties.html?campaign id=9&emc=edit nn 20210902&instance id=39433&nl=the- morning&regi id=94201079&segment id=67884&te=1&user id=7e2b19dac6ef8449af857ab14059a519 I have lived, loved and worked with some of our citizens/neighbors at greatest risk of illness and death should they catch the virus. I was proud that our county took the risks so seriously last year and early on had the highest vaccination rate in the state. Now I am frankly horrified that people are less careful amidst a far more contagious variant. 5 deaths this week could have been prevented. Education is needed. And so is a strong stand from you, our elected, trusted leaders. Cases are rising and as you know our healthcare system is maxxing out. Meanwhile Dr. Berry is receiving death threats! Please lead the way toward saving lives. And helping our restauranteurs stay open in a healthy way.

HOW STUPID! GET A LIFE! CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. To the board of County Commissioners, and the Board of Health in both Callum&Jefferson Counties,Washington. Recently, Both Callum&Jefferson Counties enacted a rule stating that all patrons of restaurants and bars must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter. Do you know how stupid and ignorant this is? By doing this, you all know that this can and WILL kill businesses and the economies of both Callum&Jefferson Counties. You know why? Because no one in their right minds will be showing the medical information to a person working at these establishments. In fact, I hope some of those businesses stand up and tell all of you where you can take your"vaccine passports" and where to stick them. Because of this stupidity,myself, and others, WILL NEVER be back to these counties again. I hope that the businesses that do enforce this, go under. Maybe that will teach all of you a lesson on how stupid you all can be. In fact,myself and others WILL LAUGH HYSTERICALLY when both Callum and Jefferson Counties economies crash due to this stupidity. It is obvious that this is NOT about health and safety. This is about control of the people. GET COMMON SENSE INTO YOUR HEADS!! GET RID OF THE"VACCINE PASSPORTS". Richard S.

We don't have enough staff! We don't have enough critical care beds! Our employees work overtime to cover for each other, even when they are exhausted! Our nurses and providers put on masks, face shields, gowns and gloves dozens of times a day just to enter the rooms of patients with COVID-19. Providing needed medical and comfort care is more challenging than ever, and yet we now face the worst surge of disease and death since the pandemic started. It's even worse in Clallam County. Please listen to the 9/7/21, report to the County Commissioners by Mike Glenn, Dr. Joe Mattern and Dr. Tracie Harris of Jefferson Healthcare and Dr.Allison Berry, our Public Health Officer. Their report is at 9:45. https://media.avcaptureall.com/#/?prefilter=845.- 1&target= blank&view=list&tabs=rec%7Clive%7Cupc Dr. Berry,who works for both counties, had the foresight to try and reduce transmission of the virus before the Labor Day weekend. She knew it spreads most easily in restaurants and bars, between unvaccinated patrons. She could have limited occupancy or even closed down the industry. Instead, she used a vaccine mandate for customers to help protect the local economy,the employees of those businesses, our vulnerable children, and our struggling healthcare system. There was no better choice to save lives and yet she received verbal attacks and clear threats of violence from some who disagreed. We can stop this pandemic! I urge those who are vaccine hesitant to get vaccinated. I urge those who are spreading information about the vaccine and the pandemic to use reliable sources of data. I urge those who disagree with mandates to use civil dialogue. I urge us all to appreciate, support and thank our dedicated public health and healthcare employees. The health of our community depends on them. Kees Kolff, MD, MPH 206-295-2275 This personal letter does not come from the Public Hospital District Board or the Board of Health on which I serve.

Preamble: I am urging all Americans to help slow the spread of health misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Health misinformation is a serious threat to public health. It can cause confusion, sow mistrust, harm people's health, and undermine public health efforts. Limiting the spread of health misinformation is a moral and civic imperative that will require a whole-of-society effort. Vivek H.

In so doing, we adopt the following findings, facts, statements and good faith beliefs: 1. The coronavirus pandemic is surging in Jefferson County with more disease and deaths than at any other time in the past 20 months. i 2. Our healthcare system is at the breaking point, with a shortage of staff and critical care beds. 3. Our dedicated healthcare and public health employees are working overtime and are exhausted. 4. Public health measures like masking, physical distancing, vaccinations and specific activity restrictions are proven ways of slowing the spread of this virus, saving lives, and ending the pandemic. 5. Dr. Allison Berry, the Public Health Officer for Jefferson and Clallam Counties, issued an appropriate vaccine mandate for bar and restaurant customers to help protect the local economy, the employees of those businesses, our vulnerable children, and our struggling healthcare system. 6. There are some people in our community who disagree with actions taken by Dr. Berry, and believe that it is appropriate to use intimidation and threats of violence to get their way. 7. There are some people in our community who spread virus and the pandemic misinformation that is not supported by valid scientific data, much of which can be addressed by information from reliable experts. 8. There are some people in our community who are vaccine hesitant for a variety of reasons, many of which can be addressed with appropriate, compassionate advice. NOW THEREFOR, BE IT RESOLVED by the Jefferson County Board of Health and the Board of the Jefferson County Public Hospital District#2, that we - A. Urge all residents of our county to get vaccinated with appropriate age-approved vaccines, B. Urge those who are spreading information about the vaccine and the pandemic to use reliable sources of data, C.

Why are 12-15 year olds not approved for the newly approved Pfizer vaccine when they were approved under the EUA? 2. We have friends newly returned from a European vacation. Is it appropriate for them to quarantine? If they don't should we avoid seeing them for a period of time?We are all vaccinated but some of the people they visited might not have been. 3. With infections rising so rapidly in Jefferson County,what are we doing to address the possibility of running out of hospital beds? 4. Of the recent Covid cases of fully vaccinated individuals, is there any data on which vaccine they had? 5. Is it advisable to go to church, where we have the doors open, sit apart and are masked?The singers and speakers are unmasked throughout most of the service. 6. Is it advisable to stay in hotels on the peninsula? I am traveling by myself and chose hotels that have a thorough cleaning process. 7. I was told by someone (a healthcare provider)that she was'immune' because she had Covid over four months ago. Is this accurate? 1 8. I know that all healthcare providers in WA are mandated to be vaccinated. How is this monitored? 9. I was told by someone that cloth masks are no longer considered sufficient to protect against the Delta variant. Would weating a surgical mask plus a cloth mask be a better choice? 10. Please comment on the difficulties of getting testing for travel purposes within the usual 72 hour window pre-travel. 11. Do you agree with WHO regarding booster shots?Should the vaccine be used for people who have not had the opportunity to get vaccinated rather than giving those fully vaccinated a third dose? 12.In Clallam County the sheriff assured protestors that his office would NOT be enforcing the public health Mandate for masks at restaurants,jars, and events. . . He was quoted on the PDN and on line that the mandate is not legally binding on his department,that they would not be responding or enforcing and that the process would be that the business owner is to call public health-public health will do an investigation and issue any violation notices which will then be appealed to district court. . how long would that take? 13. Since our grandkids(ags 6 and almost 3)returned to school in a district that requires masks for all kids and staff will be vaccinated, is it safe for us, both vaccinated and in line for the booster,to visit with them??? The entire family has been in our bubble since things opened a bit last winter and we are confident that they are being safe inside and outside of the home but school presents a conundrum. Please advise. 14. We are in our mid-to-late 70s and,overall, in good health with no apparent immune system issues. We were both fully vaccinated early on and our question relates to our vaccinations. One of us had the Pfizer and the other had Moderna. Neither of us had ANY notable reaction following either of the vaccinations. Friends in our age range reported having strong symptoms and reactions. If our immune systems did not respond to the vaccination with gusto, does that suggest we did not develop any substantial immunity and are,therefore, more prone to a breakthrough episode? 15. The current Jefferson County covid case data shows that 22% of the cases since February are among vaccinated people. Do you have this data by month or by two week period? It's really difficult to determine what the 22%number represents as there were very few vaccinated people in February and March. Is the August percentage much higher or lower than the 22%? 16. I'd like to understand what is known about breakthrough cases. Are the serious/hospitalized Vaccinated infections in people who have auto immune disease? are very old? have active cancer? are of a particular age? are younger and no health issues? spend time with unvaccinated, unmasked family/friends What is known about the vaccinated people who are dying? 17.Jefferson County residents who have been in Australia since before pandemic are returning to Jefferson County this month. They were vaccinated in Australia&have a certificate to prove that. Will that serve as proof here-for example, if trying to enter a restaurant. Thank you! 2 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Friday, September 10, 2021 5:17 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW:WSF System-wide Friday Service Disruptions From: Vezina, John Sent: Friday, September 10, 2021 5:16:43 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) Subject: WSF System-wide Friday Service Disruptions CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

As we enter the weekend, we have a significant number of unfilled engine room oiler positions. Dispatchers have attempted to contact all on-call employees and have offered overtime to everyone available, but with these unfilled positions, we are unable crew several routes. This is due to crewing shortages. The currently affected sailings with tie ups for the night are: • The Suquamish, assigned to the Anacortes/San Juan Islands routes tied up at 4.45pm. • The Yakima, assigned to the Anacortes/San Juan Islands routes will tie up at 7.15pm. • The Tillikum, assigned to the San Juan Islands Interisland route may have to be tied up tomorrow morning. • The Spokane, assigned to the Edmonds/Kingston route will tie up at 7.40pm. • The Tokitae, assigned to the Clinton/Mukilteo route will tie up at 8pm. • The Chelan, also assigned to the Clinton/Mukilteo route will tie up at 7.35pm. We are working to move an oiler from a tied up boat to keep the Chelan in service, allowing at least one-boat service. Dispatchers will continue working to fill vacant positions and we'll move idle crews when possible. We're blocking new reservations for tonight and the weekend on Anacortes/San Juan Islands and Port Townsend/Coupeville, and current reservation holders will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis. Operations and terminal staff are working to combine and add San Juan Islands sailings where possible. Customers should monitor passenger alerts for the most current information and we encourage the delay of discretionary travel. We are working to message service updates to customers with fluid staffing dynamics and appreciate their patience while we navigate the situation. John John B.

This could have a huge economic and social impact." "During Schwartz's study, there was not any signal of significant side effects among ivermectin users. " ivermectin `demonstrates a strong signal of therapeutic efficacy' against COVID-1 9." "IN CONTRAST, Schwartz said he was very disappointed that the WHO did not support any trial to determine whether the drug could be viable. 1 "You would think Merck would be happy to hear that ivermectin might be helpful to corona patients and try to study it, but they are most loudly declaring the drug should not be used," Schwartz said. "A billion people took it. They gave it to them. It's a real shame." (jj: now banned as prescription drug in US) And not moving forward with ivermectin could potentially extend the time it takes for the world to be able to live alongside the virus, he said. ""Developing new medications can take years; therefore, identifying existing drugs that can be re-purposed against COVID-19 [and] that already have an established safety profile through decades of use could play a critical role in suppressing or even ending the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic," wrote the researchers in the American Journal of Therapeutics. "Using re-purposed medications may be especially important because it could take months, possibly years, for much of the world's population to get vaccinated, particularly among low- to middle- income populations." 2 jeffbocc From: LWV of Jefferson County <Iwvjeffcowa@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, September 12, 2021 12:44 PM To: jeffbocc; Board of Health Subject: The Jefferson County League of Women Voters Official statement Attachments: intimidation statement on letterhead.pdf CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

Thanks to input from Denis and Kate, here is what I hope will be an accepted draft of a resolution we can adopt at our meeting this Thursday. Though I have not heard from Marie Dressler, I hope that the Public Hospital District Board will adopt the same resolution on Wednesday of the following week. Therefore, it seems that an appropriate action would be for us to approve this resolution pending approval of the Jefferson Healthcare Board. Thanks for considering this on such short notice. Sincerely, Kees PS Before the need for this resolution arose, I had asked for the agenda to include a discussion of when we want to take up again a resolution on the Climate Crisis. Since we may be short on time, I would be fine with keeping that discussion very brief. K PS PS I assume that someone else will adjust the resolution headers and signature areas appropriately. Thanks. K PS PS PS Jill and Mike, could you please place this on our agenda for the following week.

For personal, non-hospital district related business, please use my home email kkolff@olympus.net. 1 Joint Resolution of the Jefferson County Board of Health and the Board of the Jefferson County Public Hospital District#2 in support of all public health and hospital district employees and declaring health misinformation a public health crisis. Preamble: 1 am urging all Americans to help slow the spread of health misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Health misinformation is a serious threat to public health. It can cause confusion,sow mistrust, harm people's health, and undermine public health efforts. Limiting the spread of health misinformation is a moral and civic imperative that will require a whole-of-society effort. Vivek H. Murthy, M.D., M.B.A.Vice Admiral, U.S. Public Health Service Surgeon General of the United States https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-misinformation- advisory.pdf We,the members of the Jefferson County Board of Health and the members of the Board of the Jefferson County Public Hospital District#2, adopt this resolution in support of all public health and hospital district employees and declaring health misinformation a public health crisis. In so doing,we adopt the following findings, facts, statements and good faith beliefs: 1. The coronavirus pandemic is surging in Jefferson County with more disease and more deaths than at any other time in the past twenty months. 2. Our healthcare system is at the breaking point,with a shortage of staff and critical care beds as well as overwhelmed emergency facilities. 3. Our public health services are stretched to the point where we can barely perform the best-practice COVID-19 case and contact tracing and follow-up. 4. Our dedicated healthcare and public health employees are working overtime, are psychologically stressed, and are physically exhausted by meeting the needs of our community. 5. Public health measures like masking, physical distancing,vaccinations and specific activity restrictions, many of which should be considered privileges and not personal rights, are proven ways of slowing the spread of this virus, saving lives, and ending the pandemic. 6. Allison Berry, M.D., M.P.H.,the Public Health Officer for both Jefferson and Clallam Counties, knew that unvaccinated patrons in bars and restaurants spread the virus and instead of closing down the industry or limiting occupancy, issued a vaccine mandate for bar and restaurant customers in order to help protect the local economy, the employees of those businesses, our vulnerable children, and our struggling healthcare and public health systems. 7.There are some people in our community who disagree with actions taken by Dr. Berry and believe that it is appropriate to use intimidation and threats of violence to get their way in opposing reasonable and proven public health measures,with such opposition apparently being used primarily for political purposes. 8. There are some people in our community who are discouraging vaccinations and are thereby causing more cases and more deaths by spreading virus and pandemic misinformation that is not supported by the valid scientific data provided by reliable professional experts. 9. There are some people in our community who are vaccine hesitant for a variety of reasons, most of which are fed by misinformation campaigns and most of which can be addressed with appropriate, compassionate advice or overcome with a variety of vaccination incentives, including employment vaccination requirements and privilege restrictions. 10. The health of our community depends not only on the behavior of us as individuals but also on the health of our healthcare and public health services and the essential workers who provide those services. NOW THEREFOR, BE IT RESOLVED by the Jefferson County Board of Health and the Board of the Jefferson County Public Hospital District#2,that we - A. Urge all residents of our county to get vaccinated with appropriate age-approved vaccines; B. Urge those who are spreading information about the vaccine and the pandemic to use reliable sources of data; C. Urge those who disagree with public health mandates to use civil dialogue and to avoid intimidation and threats of violence; D. Urge us all to hold each other accountable for our behavior; and E. Urge everyone in our community to appreciate, support and thank our dedicated public health and healthcare employees, since the health of our community depends on them.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Commissioners, I am writing to ask that you mandate Covid immunization for county employees who contact the public,with a special emphasis on corrections officers at the county jail. Incarcerated individuals are among the most vulnerable in our society.Their freedom of movement and association has been removed, so they are unable to choose behaviors that might help to mitigate their personal risk of exposure. Close quarters such as those experienced in jails are particularly high risk environments. If we do not do all we can to protect prisoners from this potentially life-threatening disease, we are negligent. Every case of Covid creates greater risk for our entire community, both as the result of the spread of Covid itself and also because of the increased pressure on our healthcare system.We must not reach the crisis levels of care currently in force in Northern Idaho and which are becoming increasingly likely in Eastern Washington. Thanks for all your hard work. I appreciate you all. Cheri Van Hoover, CNM, MS,ARNP, FACNM cvanhoover@gmail.com cheri.van.hoover@iefferson.edu P.O.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links,especially from unknown senders. Dear Board of County Commissioners, It was interesting to see a new study finding"for boys 12-15 without medical comorbidities receiving their second mRNA dose,the rate of Cardiac Adverse Events is 3.7 to 6.1 times higher than their 12o-day COVID-19 hospitalization risk". And of course myocarditis is only one of many adverse events reported for these vaccines. But what really struck me was a comment saying, "This study completely misses the point of young kids getting vaccinated. ... Whether or not they are at high risk relative to the adverse side effects,they should be vaccinated to reduce the probability of older, more at-risk people from getting it." That's not just some random troll saying we should knowingly harm children to prevent potential harm to adults. ... I heard the exact same response from a Jefferson County physician when I asked him about kids' risk versus benefit at a Farmers' Market pop-up vaccine clinic a couple months ago. When doctors promote harming children to reduce transmission, not only are they betraying their own Hypocratic Oath,they are doing so for no good reason, because the FDA acknowledges there is no evidence that the vaccine can "reduce transmission of the virus". This well-known fact belies and makes ridiculous the current discrimination in our county against those unwilling to disclose HIPAA-protected health information concerning their vaccination status. And it's not only kids who risk more harm than benefit...those enjoying robust natural immunity after getting covid have nothing to gain and everything to lose from this vaccine. Likewise the immunocompromised,those who had adverse reactions to previous vaccines, pregnant and nursing mothers,and many others should never consider taking this vaccine. Yet all these people now face widespread discrimination. Should those who have been jabbed twice feel happy and self-righteous that they are not currently the target of this discrimination? Consider that the entire highly-vaccinated population of Israel has just been reclassified as unvaccinated, because their Health Minister says,"the vaccine is valid only for a period of five or six months. After about half a year,you have to get a third dose.Otherwise,the vaccine loses its power." The Times of Israel reports that"the'Green Pass'system ...will expire six months after the holder received their second or third dose ...The ministry could not yet say if a fourth dose would be required in six months." 1 Suppose you or a loved one had a bad reaction to the second dose... would you really feel safe risking a third,fourth,etc.dose every 6 months indefinitely into the future? Do we as a society really want to sign up for an endless subscription service of barely-tested so-called vaccines that fail to prevent transmission and lose effectiveness in under six months...coupled with discrimination and hatred drummed up against those who don't? "First...they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me."

"....the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)released the Physical Science Basis Ireport from Working Group 1,a major part of their sixth Assessment Report.This report includes the most up-to-date understanding of the climate system and climate change,providing the best scientific evidence in order to understand the past,present,and future changes to our planet from global warming.The conclusions are clear:climate change is already affecting nearly every part of the 10 planet,and human activities are unequivocally the cause. The report,co-authored by 234 scientists from around the world,finds that we are now around 2.0°F(1.1°C)warmer than in 1850-r9oo,warming at a rate without precedent in at least 2000 years,possibly longer.This report confirms that the climate-driven changes occurring around the world are widespread,rapid,and intensifying.Our influence on the climate is making extreme weather and climate events—like heat waves,heavy rain,and droughts—more frequent and severe,putting more people,property,and natural resources in harm's way. Unless there is a rapid and large-scale reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,limiting warming to a 2.7°F(1.5°C)threshold will be beyond reach.Scientists warn that the more humans drive Earth's average temperature above this threshold,the more frequent and severe extreme weather and climate events will become."

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Explain please. I await your reply. Alby Baker Port Townsend. Along with Congress and their workers being exempted from the vaccine mandate -- Postal Service workers not included in Biden's mandatory vaccination order AND it does not apply to illegal immigrants walking across the border — Psaki Admits Migrants Don't Have To Get COVID-19 Vaccine While US Employees At Large Business Do Reporter asks: Why? Psaki answers: That is correct. The military is not exempt, go figure. https://www.newsweek.com/members-congress-staff-exempt-biden- covid-vaccine-mandate-1627859 Members of Congress and Their Staff Are Exempt From Biden's Vaccine Mandate President Joe Biden's new vaccine mandates for federal employees don't apply to members of Congress or those who work for Congress or the federal court system. Biden issued two executive orders on Thursday requiring vaccination against COVID for federal workers and contractors who work for the federal government. He also asked the Department of i Labor to issue an emergency order requiring businesses with more than 100 employees to ensure their workers are vaccinated or tested on a weekly basis. However, Biden's order on federal workers applies to employees of the executive branch. The House of Representatives and the Senate belong to the separate legislative branch, and the courts to the judicial branch of the federal government. Biden's COVID action plan - "Path Out of the Pandemic" - published on the White House website makes the effect of the vaccine mandate clear. The plan says: "Building on the President's announcement in July to strengthen safety requirements for unvaccinated federal workers, the President has signed an Executive Order to take those actions a step further and require all federal executive branch workers to be vaccinated." "The President also signed an Executive Order directing that this standard be extended to employees of contractors that do business with the federal government," the plan goes on. "As part of this effort, the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Indian Health Service, and the National Institute of Health will complete implementation of their previously announced vaccination requirements that cover 2.5 million people." The New York Times reported on Thursday that the executive order doesn't apply to thOSe who work for Congress or the federal courts, citing White House officials. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said at a press conference on April 29 that the House couldn't require members to be vaccinated. Video clips of those remarks gained renewed attention online following Biden's announcement. "So—so here is the thing. We are—we cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That's just not what we can do. It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn't," Pelosi said. "I can't go to the Capitol Physician and say, 'Give me the names of people who aren't vaccinated, so I can go encourage them or make it known to others to encourage them to be vaccinated.' So we can't—we can't do that," she said. Pelosi's office reiterated that position in a statement to Newsweek on Friday, saying the speaker's April 29 remarks were "referring to the institution in which she serves." "She's saying she cannot force Members to be vaccinated, which is true," the statement said. 2 In August, a group of 19 Democrats in the House wrote a letter to the Capitol's attending physician, Dr. Brian P. Monahan, asking him to consider a vaccine requirement or a minimum of two COVID tests per week for members and staff who can't show proof of vaccination. No requirement has yet been put in place. 3 jeffbocc From: alby <alby@olypen.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2021 10:21 AM To: jeffbocc; Board of Health Subject: all the reasons in the world for second thoughts CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. If you & i have no idea what's in the vaccines, as the inserts have been left intentionally blank — then what is "informed consent"? — which was one of the central aspects of the Nuremberg Trials & Codes. I await your replies. Alby Baker Port Townsend And for those hoping that there will be a Nuremberg 2.0 to punish the crimes of the pharmaceutical companies and complicit governments in genocide, here is a scene from the 1961 film, Judgment at Nuremberg, where the German attorney gives his closing arguments. This classic speech reminds us that the real criminals in Nazi Germany that conducted medical experiments without informed consent, were not simply the doctors, and that the real criminals were never brought to trial.... 4min scene from the film -- https://www.bitchute.com/video/rlhLyg3pMsGx/ https://theexpose.uk/2021/09/14/13-reasons-why-you-should-not-allow-your-child-to-get-the- covid-19-vaccine/ 13 reasons why you should not allow your child to get the Covid-19 Vaccine By Daily Expose on September 14, 2021 At a press conference on Monday September 13th, the four Chief Medical Officer's (CMO's) of the United Kingdom advised the UK Government to offer the Pfizer vaccine to children aged between 12 and 15. i Around 3 million under-16s are due to be offered the jabs after Chris Whitty endorsed the move, claiming it may "help prevent outbreaks in classrooms and further disruptions to education this winter". Doses will be largely administered through the existing school vaccination programme and parental consent will be sought. But children will be able to overrule their parents' decision in the case of a conflict if they are deemed mature and competent enough, which has rightly caused fury. For a child to be competent enough to make the decision to have the vaccine they should be made aware of all the facts before they reach their decision, and the same can be said for parents who wish to consent to their child having the jab. So we've compiled 13 factual reasons why you should not allow your child to get the Covid-19 vaccine... Reason No. 1 86% of Children suffered an Adverse Reaction to the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine in the Clinical Trial The information is publicly available and contained within a US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) fact sheet which can be viewed here (see page 25, table 5 on-wards). That fact sheet contains two tables that detail the alarming rate of side effects and damage experienced by 12 — 15- year-old children who were given at least one dose of the Pfizer mRNA injection. The tables shows that 1,127 children were given one dose of the mRNA jab, but only 1,097 children received the second dose. This fact in itself raises questions as to why 30 children did not receive a second dose of the Pfizer jab. Of the 1,127 children who received a first dose of the jab 86% experienced an adverse reaction. Of the 1,097 children who received a second dose of the jab 78.9% experienced an adverse reaction. 2 Reason No. 2 1 in 9 Children suffered a Severe Adverse Reaction leaving them unable to perform daily activities in the Pfizer Clinical Trial For children 12 to 15 years of age, the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine clinical trial found the overall incidence of severe adverse events which left them unable to perform daily activities, during the two-month observation period to be 10.7%, or 1 in 9, in the vaccinated group and 1.9% in the unvaccinated group. Consequently, children who received the vaccine had nearly six times the risk of a severe adverse event occurring in the two-month observation period compared to children who did not receive the vaccine. In addition, the incidence of Covid-19 in the unvaccinated group was 1.6%, therefore, there were almost seven times more severe adverse events observed in the vaccinated group than there were Covid-19 cases in the unvaccinated group. This information is all freely available to see in official Food and Drug Administration (FDA1 documents and official Centre for Disease Control (CDC) documents. 3 Reason No. 3 Just 9 deaths associated with Covid-19 have occurred in Children since March 2020 Official NHS data which can be viewed here (see Table 3 —COVID-19 deaths by age group and pre- existing condition of the downloadable excel document) shows that since March 2020 just 9 people under the age of 19 have died with Covid-19 who had no known pre-existing conditions in England's hospitals, up to the 26th August 2021. The data also shows that just 39 people under the age of 19 have died with Covid-19 in the same time frame who did have other serious underlying conditions. There are approximately 15.6 million people aged 19 and under in the United Kingdom which means just 1 in every 410,526 children and teenagers have allegedly died with Covid-19 in 18 months who had other serious pre-existing conditions. Whilst just 1 in every 1.7 million children have allegedly died with Covid-19 in 18 months, who had no know pre-existing conditions. 4 A scientific study titled 'Deaths in Children and Young People in England following SARS-CoV-2 infection during the first pandemic year: a national study using linked mandatory child death reporting data' (which can be found here), conducted by Clare Smith of NHS England and Improvement and several Universities also concluded that children are at negligible risk of death, hospitalisation, or serious illness due to the alleged Covid-19 virus. The study collated data from the National Child Mortality Database; a mandatory system that records all deaths in Children under 18 years of age in England. What the researchers found is that just 25 children under the age of 18 died of Covid-19 between March 2020 and February 2021, with 15 of the 25 having a pre-existing life-limiting condition, and 19 of the 25 having a chronic condition. The study also found that 16 of the 25 children who sadly died had two or more comorbidities with 8 children suffering pre-existing neurological and respiratory problems, 3 children suffering pre-existing neurological and cardiology problems, and 3 children suffering respiratory and cardiology problems. Reason No. 4 The risk of Children developing serious illness due to Covid-19 is extremely low 5 A study (found here) led by Professor Russell Viner of UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, published on the medRxiv server, found that 251 young people aged under 18 in England were admitted to intensive care with Covid-19 during the first year of the pandemic (until the end of February 2021). The results of the study found that there were 5,830 admissions associated with Covid-19 among children up to 17 years of age during the pandemic year, this represents just 1.3% of secondary care admissions among children. The lead author of the study said: "These new studies show that the risks of severe illness or death from SARS-CoV-2 are extremely low in children and young people". Reason No. 5 The Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine is experimental and still in Clinical Trials The Pfizer mRNA Covid-19 injection is in fact only temporarily authorised (see official MHRA document here) for emergency use only. In October the government made changes to the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 to allow the MHRA to grant temporary authorisation of a Covid-19 vaccine without needing to wait for the EMA. A temporary use authorisation is valid for one year only and requires the pharmaceutical companies to complete specific obligations, such as ongoing or new studies. Once comprehensive data on the product have been obtained, standard marketing authorisation can be granted. This means that the manufacturer of the vaccine cannot be held liable for any injury or death that occurs due to their vaccine, unless it was due to a quality control issue. 6 The reason the Pfizer mRNA Covid-19 injection has only been granted temporary authorisation is because it is still in clinical trials that are not set to conclude until May 2nd 2023. You can see the official Clinical Trial Study Tracker for the Pfizer jab on the US National Library of Medicine site here. This is the first time mRNA injections have ever been authorised for use in humans (see here), and the long term side effects are not known, meaning the millions of people around the world who have had the Pfizer Covid-19 injection are essentially taking part in an experiment. Reason No. 6 Three Scientific Studies conducted by the UK Government, Oxford University, & CDC, which were published in August have found the Covid-19 Vaccines do not work New research in multiple settings shows that the alleged Delta Covid-19 variant, the now dominant variant in the UK, produces very high viral loads which are just as high in the vaccinated population compared to the unvaccinated population. Therefore, vaccinating individuals does not stop or even slow the spread of the alleged dominant Delta Covid-19 variant. CDC Study The CDC study (found here) focused on 469 cases among Massachusetts residents who attended indoor and outdoor public gatherings over a two week period. The results found that 346 of the cases were among vaccinated residents with 74% of them presenting with alleged Covid-19 symptoms, and 1.2% being hospitalised. However, the remaining 123 cases were among the unvaccinated population with just 1 person being hospitalised (0.8%). Oxford University Study The Oxford University study (found here) examined 900 hospital staff members in Vietnam who had been vaccinated with the Oxford /AstraZeneca viral vector injection between March and April 2021. The entire hospital staff tested negative for the Covid-19 virus in mid May 2021 however, the first case among the vaccinated staff members was discovered on June 11th. All 900 hospital staff were then retested for the Covid-19 virus and 52 additional cases were identified immediately, forcing the hospital into lockdown. Over the next two weeks, 16 additional cases were identified. The study found that 76% of the Covid-19 positive staff developed respiratory symptoms, with 3 staff members developing pneumonia and one staff member requiring three days of oxygen therapy. Peak viral loads among the fully vaccinated infected group were found to be 251 times higher than peak viral loads found among the staff in March —April 2020 when they were not vaccinated. UK Department of Health & Social Care Study The UK Department of Health & Social Care study (found here) is an analysis of ongoing population wide SARS-CoV-2 monitoring in the UK and includes measures of viral load among the population. The study found that viral loads among the vaccinated and unvaccinated population are virtually the same, and much higher than had been recorded prior to the Covid-19 injection roll-out. The study also found that the majority of cases among the vaccinated population were presenting with symptoms when they became positive. s The authors of the study conclude that the Pfizer and Oxford /AstraZeneca injection have lost efficacy against what they claim to be the Delta Covid-19 variant. Reason No. 7 Public Health England Data shows the majority of Covid-19 Deaths are among the Vaccinated and suggests that the Vaccines worsen disease A report titled 'SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England' (found here—see Table 5 Page 21), is the 22nd technical briefing on alleged variants of concern in the United Kingdom published by Public Health England. From February 1st 2021 up to August 29th 2021 nearly twice as many unvaccinated people account for confirmed cases of Covid-19 than those who are fully vaccinated. However when you include the number to have received one dose of a Covid-19 injection the number of cases among the vaccinated group (222,693) actually surpasses the number that have been recorded among the unvaccinated population. The total number of deaths to have occurred since February 2021 involving the Delta Covid-19 variant that have been linked to vaccination status total 1,698. Of these just 30% have been among the unvaccinated population, despite the fact most second vaccinations were administered between April and June. Whereas the fully vaccinated account for 64.25% of Covid-19 deaths since February 2021, and when including the partly vaccinated in those numbers they account for 70%. The data published by Public Health England actually suggests that the risk of death increases significantly in those who have been fully vaccinated. 9 536 deaths have occurred among 219,716 confirmed cases in the unvaccinated population since February. This is a case fatality rate of 0.2%. Whereas 1,091 deaths have occurred among 113,823 cases among the fully vaccinated population. This is a case fatality rate of 1%. This means the Covid-19 injections seem to be increasing the risk of death due to Covid-19 by 400% rather than reducing the risk of death by 95% as claimed by the vaccine manufacturers, Public Health bodies, and the Government. Reason No. 8 There have been at least 1.18 million Adverse Reactions to the Covid-19 Vaccines in the UK alone The thirty-second report highlighting adverse reactions to the Pfizer/ BioNTech, Oxford / AstraZeneca, and Moderna Covid-19 injections that have been reported to the UK Medicine Regulator's (MHRA) Yellow Card scheme reveals that there have been 1,186,844 adverse reactions reported since the 9th December 2020 up to the 1st September 2021. The reports for each available vaccine can be found here under the analysis print section and include adverse reactions such as blindness, seizure, stroke, paralysis, cardiac arrest and many other serious ailments. The Pfizer mRNA injections has left at least 107 people fully paralysed and a number of other people partly paralysed up to the 1st September 2021. However, the MHRA state that an estimated 10% of adverse reactions are actually reported to the Yellow Card scheme, meaning the true figure of adverse reactions is immensely higher. Reason No. 9 There have been more deaths in 8 months due to the Covid-19 Vaccines than there have been due to all other available Vaccines since the year 2001 The UK Medicine Regulator responded to a Freedom of Information (found here) request demanding to know how many deaths have occurred in the past 20 years due to all vaccines, and their response revealed that there have been four times as many deaths in just eight months due to the Covid-19 injections. i0 The request was made via email to the Medicine and Healthcare product Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on the 6th August 2021, and in answer to the question asked on the number of deaths due to all other vaccines in the past twenty years, the MHRA revealed that they had received a total of 404 reported adverse reactions to all available vaccines (excluding the Covid-19 injections) associated with a fatal outcome between the 1st January 2001 and the 25th August 2021— a time frame of 20 years and 8 months. However, according to the MHRA Yellow Card Report (see here—under each analysis print section) there have been 1,632 deaths reported as adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccines from December 9th 2020 up to September 1st 2021. This includes 16 deaths due to the Moderna jab, 24 deaths where the brand of vaccine was unspecified, 1,064 deaths due to the AstraZeneca vaccine, and 524 deaths due to the Pfizer mRNA injection. Reason No. 10 The risk of Myocarditis (Heart Inflammation) in Children due to the Pfizer Vaccine Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, whilst Pericarditis is inflammation of the protective sacs surrounding the heart. Both are serious conditions due to the fact the heart u muscle cannot regenerate, and both conditions have officially been added to the safety labels of the Pfizer jab and Moderna jab by the MHRA (see here). Source Myocarditis and pericarditis happen very rarely in the general (unvaccinated) population, and it is estimated that in the UK there are about 6 new cases of myocarditis per 100,000 patients per year and about 10 new cases of pericarditis per 100,000 patients per year. The MHRA has undertaken a thorough review of both UK and international reports of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination against Covid-19 due to a recent increase in reporting of these events in particular with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, with a consistent pattern of cases occurring more frequently in young males. A Scientific Study published on the JAMA network, has also found that the incidence of myocarditis among vaccinated individuals is at least double what Health Authorities are claiming. 12 The new JAMA study (found here) showed a similar pattern to a CDC study (found here), although at higher incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination, suggesting vaccine adverse event under-reporting. The researchers calculated the average monthly number of cases of myocarditis or pericarditis during the pre-vaccine period of January 2019 through January 2021 was 16.9 compared with 27.3 13 during the vaccine period of February through May 2021. The mean numbers of pericarditis cases during the same periods were 49.1 and 78.8. Dr. George Diaz who conducted the study told Medscape that "Our study resulted in higher numbers of cases probably because we searched the EMR, and [also because] VAERS requires doctors to report suspected cases voluntarily," Diaz told Medscape. Also, in the governments' statistics, pericarditis and myocarditis were "lumped together". Reason No. 11 Children have died and are dying due to the Covid-19 Vaccines The US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which can be searched here by inputting the specific VAERS ID shows that several children have died in the US after having the Covid-19 vaccine, with many suffering cardiac arrest. A 16 year-old female received the Pfizer vaccine on the 19th March 2021. Nine days later the same female went into cardiac arrest at home. By the 30th March 2021 she had sadly died. Found under VAERS ID 1225942. A 15 year-old female suffered cardiac arrest and ended up in intensive care four days after having the Moderna mRNA jab. She also sadly died. Found under VAERS ID 1187918. 14 Another 15 year-old female received her second dose of the Pfizer jab on the 6th June 2021. Sadly one day later she died suddenly without reason. Found under VAERS ID 1383620. A 15 year-old male die due to an unexplained reason twenty-three days after having the Pfizer jab. Found under VAERS ID 1382906. 15 The above are sadly just a few examples of the deaths to have occurred among children due to the Covid-19 vaccines in the USA. Reason No. 12 Who profits from your Child getting the Covid-19 Vaccine? It may surprise you to know that GP's were already being incentivised to inject the adult population with the Covid-19 vaccine with a payment of£12.58 for every dose administered. So it may surprise you further to know that GP's are being offered an additional payment of£10 on top of the £12.58 already offered for every injection administered to a child in the United Kingdom. All of this is documented in an official NHS document found here. According to the last count made in 2020 there are approximately 3,154,459 children between the ages of 12 and 15 in the United Kingdom. Therefore GP's across the UK could stand to make a combined £142.45 million if every child is injected with a Covid-19 vaccine. A Freedom of Information request (found here) which the MHRA responded to in May 2021 revealed that the current level of grant funding received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation amounts to $3 million and covers "a number of projects". The MHRA being the UK Medicine Regulator to have granted emergency use authorisation for the Pfizer/ BioNTech mRNA vaccine to be given to children. 16 Coincidentally, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation bought shares in Pfizer back in 2002 (see here), and back in September 2020 Bill Gates ensured the value of his shares went up by announcing to the mainstream media in a CNBC interview that he viewed the Pfizer jab as the leader in the Covid-19 vaccine race. "The only vaccine that, if everything went perfectly, might seek the emergency use license by the end of October, would be Pfizer." The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation also coincidentally bought $55 million worth of shares in BioNTech (see here) in September 2019, just before the alleged Covid-19 pandemic struck. Can we really trust the MHRA to remain impartial when its primary funder is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who also own shares in Pfizer and BioNTech? Reason No. 13 The Joint Committee on Vaccination & Immunisation have refused to recommend the Pfizer Vaccine be offered to Children On the 3rd September 2021 the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) announced (see here) they were not recommending the Pfizer Covid-19 injection be offered to all children over the age of 12. The assessment by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is that the health benefits from vaccination are marginally greater than the potential known harms. However, the margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12 to 15 year olds at this time. The JCVI cited the following— "For the vast majority of children, SARS-CoV-2 infection is asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and will resolve without treatment. Of the very few children aged 12 to 15 years who require hospitalisation, the majority have underlying health conditions." Since 1st April 2009 the Health Protection (Vaccination) Regulations 2009 place a duty on the Secretary of State for Health in England to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the recommendations of JCVI are implemented (See here—page 6). Yet in an unprecedented move, the Secretary for Health and the Government decided to bypass the JCVI and seek the advice of the four Chief Medical Officers (CMO's) of the United Kingdom. In their letter to the Government (found here), the UK CMO's state they looked at wider public health benefits and risks of universal vaccination in this age group to determine if this shifts the risk-benefit either way. They claim in their letter that "the most important in this age group was impact on education". 17 This raises some serious questions — 1. Did Covid-19 close the schools? The answer is of course no. Schools were closed because of Government policy. 2. Should a person take a medical treatment so that they are able to partake in society or education? The answer is couse no. A person should only ever take a medical treatment for a medical reason, in the case of the Covid-19 vaccine that reason should be to prevent infection; which it does not do, or prevent illness; which it will not do as children are at such low risk of suffering serious illness due to Covid-19. The decision by Chris Whitty and his fellow Chief Medical Officers to advise the Government that the Covid-19 vaccines should be offered to children is not a decision based on science, it is instead a decision based on politics. But we have just presented 13 factual reasons why you should not allow your child to get the Covid-19 vaccine, and each and every one is based on the science. Now the choice is yours, or perhaps that of your child, we hope you make the correct one. 18 jeffbocc From: No Reply (LCB) <NoReply@lcb.wa.gov> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2021 11:56 AM To: chef.lynette.2018@gmail.com Cc: McFerran, Grover P (Pat) (LCB); Higbee, Kelly S (LCB);Wheeler, Maureen T (LCB) Subject: HILLS AND VALLEY CATERING 432212-2M Attachments: 432212-2M.pdf CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

Dear County Commissioners: I wanted to make sure you were aware of a wonderful event to be held on September 28th from 3 to 5pm at the Point Wilson Lighthouse.A formal program will begin at 3:30pm. As you may know, renovations are under way to totally restore and preserve the Lighthouse Keeper's residence as well as the Lighthouse thanks to the efforts and supporters of the United States Lighthouse Society(USLHS) headquartered in Hansville,WA. An invitation is attached for you to please share with your staff,community members and friends. We hope to see you there! All of the buildings will be open to tour and you can see a finished rental that is currently available.Just in case you need to get away for a while and be surrounded by water and slowly fall asleep under the glow of the lighthouse. If you are very lucky you can hear the songs and splashes of the whales swimming by your bedroom window. Thanks for your support,friendship,and for all you do for Jefferson County. My best, Peter Raffa Friend and supporter of the USLHS 1 . k a) „ M .„ •..r l�Y. •CD „ t , • C CU a„ 0 ;u: 't :;z 0 i a= d:.. a w ,. t�� ' .110 ..0 Corl VI a) ..... v w•= ' ate+ a .` kk, : v.3t vm fib , ::a :,t ffi` C x..

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. I just have a few questions that I would hope you could take the time to answer. Thank you. 1) We now have 900 pages of the FOIA documents that states that Fauci was funneling money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for gain of function research, in essence,juicing up the corona virus. So,the same person who is responsible for releasing a bioweapon on the world is also part of the program to get a substance into everybody's arms to "prevent" what he created! https://clarion.causeaction.com/2021/09/07/bombshell-900-page-foia-reveals-flip-flopping-fascist-fear-fuhrer- fauci-funded-evil-gain-of-function-research-in-wuhan-lab-lied-about-it/ In light of this finding will you be changing your stance on vaccine mandates? 2) How is it that people actually die waiting for the trials to be completed in order to bring a potential life saving drug to market (I am referring to ALS medication which has been in Phase 2 for years ) and yet we have a substance which has been foisted onto the public with no FDA approval, dismal experiments where most if not all of the animals died from ADE(antibody dependent enhancement)to treat something of which we have between a 96%to 99.98% recovery? 3) At the very least, 14,000 people in the U.S. have died from this substance and many were in the prime of their lives. That is over 1/3 the amount of people who died from COVID alone, which was brutal on the old and infirm. However, COVID also killed off the flu and pneumonia,and last year's death rates were comparable to previous years, so would you agree that it is fair to say that these people could have succumbed to the flu and pneumonia if not for COVID? 4) What do you say to all of the doctors who have been successfully treating this virus with therapeutics?And what do you say about the fact that this substance cannot be FDA approved because there are therapeutics to treat the COVID?So why would you mandate a vaccine when we have effective therapeutics that do not kill people as does the substance you want to put in everybody's arms? 5) How is it that at the very minimum, 14,000 people have died from this substance and the same people who are mandating this substance pulled the vaccine for Swine flu from the market after 54 people died? 6) Have you seen any of the videos that have managed to get past the censorship bots of young people who have developed horrifying neurological disorders from this substance? Have you seen the baby shaking uncontrollably after his mother took this substance? I could go on with horrifying images for you about amputations etc. but I would like to know how these images affect you. Thank you for answering these questions substantively.

The 67-year-old commissioner, who said this year he got vaccinated against the virus, is still on a ventilator in Vancouver's PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center intensive care unit, although his partner Bobbi Barnes says he's moving in the right direction. Medical staff are reducing his sedative medication and oxygen output from the ventilator. Barnes' Facebook updates on Stamper have garnered hundreds of responses, and were cited in a Wednesday news release from the county. According to Barnes, Stamper is improving "ever so slowly," and staff have relayed that recovering from the virus is "a long, slow, miserable process." The county's release said Barnes and Stamper's two daughters have been talking to him over the https://www.chronline.com/stories/lewis-county-commissioner-gary-stamper-still-on-venti... 9/16/2021 Lewis County Commissioner Gary Stamper Still on Ventilator, But Condition Improving ...

"The Board of County Commissioners' Office remains cautiously optimistic about Commissioner Stamper's long-term health and continues to send thoughts and prayers as he begins the early steps in a slow recovery process," the release reads.

THURSDAY,SEPTEMBER 9 Truth I hope and pray Gary has a full and quick recovery. I can't help thinking being he may have gotten this from his exposure to Sean Swope. Sean is a non masker and and non vaccer. He is quite BOLD in his IGNORANCE. Maybe this will wake Sean Swope up from his trance of IGNORANCE.
