Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, Please see the KPTZ listener questions from the past two weeks below for Monday, February 7, 2022 BOCC Update. Any questions not addressed this week will be added to next week's listener questions. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1. I do not feel eating outside at a restaurant is as safe as it might have been given the high contagious rate of Omicron and high number of local cases every day, my husband does not agree with me. We are older people with other health conditions. What is your opinion? 2. I am wondering if there are statistics we can be privy to regarding how many in Jefferson county have had positive Covid results more than once. This info may help educate folks that believe if they had original covid variant they are now immune, thinking that they do not need to be vaccinated or boosted or to continue masking and social distancing. 3. Please address the "combo platter" notion that a new variant is a combined Delta & Omicron infection, as seen in various YouTube's/ unfounded claims in conspiracy theory conversations 4. When looking at the format of the health dept daily updates, please educate us on the population considered " south county" " mid county" etc. We have no scale as it does not separate the population numbers- geographically nor in a census I could find. 5. As we look to future variants, we will see the ease of spread and viral strength change. Is the medical community looking at how to handle these loads in a way that would, for example, limit for any hospital how many ICU beds might be assigned by to those who are unvaccinated by choice or personal belief? Or is there consideration to limit medical access for some services by unvaccinated (not medically ineligible) adult persons? i With the strain and risk for medical staff, many leaving the profession, the delays and denial of services to those who have protected themselves and community by getting a vaccine, it seems to be a discussion to have before we hit a future tipping point. 6. Yesterday I spotted this post on social media. I see a lot of posts like this, and I'm wondering how you would recommend responding to it: Wow Port Townsend, your numbers are really high. Guess having the highest number of vaccines, masks, boosters, social distancing, and shunning those who believe in something other than your gospel didn't work for you. Maybe try kindness next. 7. The grocery store we shop at does not require employees to be vaccinated and we have learned one of the people who works in the produce dept. is not vaccinated. Is his handling produce putting us, any shopper, at risk? 8. How are we figure out how and where to order/choose authentic KN95 masks? Please direct us to a simple website. The mask project and other sites are still very confusing. 9. Is there any data on Covid hospitalizations regarding whether the patient was a recipient of two mRNA vaccines but not boosted, compared to a patient who was unvaccinated? 10. You say you are going to lift the vaccinated only restrictions for bars and restaurants when we get to 200/100K instead of 75/100K. Seems to me all the people who started going into restaurants and bars because of vax mandate will stop going because they won't feel safe. Then the unvaxed will fill the restaurants and bars and they will become very unsafe places and more infections will happen. Can't we wait a while longer to lift the vaccination mandate? Please keep the mask requirement for servers and for guests not sitting at their tables and in all other indoor public spaces? 11. Does the statistic on total of the population vaccinated include small children who are not yet eligible for vaccination? 12. Could you please contrast Omicron to the seasonal flu with respect to: a) Likelihood of hospitalization, especially for those over 65. b) Likelihood of death, especially for those over 65. c) Length of recuperation. 13. Regarding booster shots, will a second booster, of either Pfizer or Moderna be advised or available in the future? Why might I not want a second booster? 14. It appears that Covid in some form will be with us indefinitely. How soon will we see the Pfizer treatment medication in Jefferson County? Do you foresee that these treatment medications will eventually be available over-the-counter? 2 15. Is it "safe" for me to eat out in restaurants right now, since I am fully vaccinated and boosted? I have been avoiding it, since I know that one can get the virus, even with these conditions in place, and I don't want to get the virus, even if it's a mild case, if I can help it. 16. It has now exceeded 4 months since receiving my third COVID shot booster and I am concerned that the effectiveness may now be diminishing, particularly against Omicron. Is this a reason for need of a 4th shot booster? 17. My daughter was vaccinated but not boosted and caught covid, and had a mild case. She used an at home test and took a week or so off of work. Her boyfriend caught it too. Do the stats on covid cases capture these sorts of infections? Is there a chance we are undercounting? 18. What is the situation with local (Jefferson County) supply of treatments for Covid 19? Specifically, the one monoclonal antibody treatment that works with Omicron? What about with Paxlovid? Do you have a prediction on when Jefferson Healthcare will start elective surgeries and procedures again? 19. In a well-ventilated (hospital grade ventilation system with windows that open) hall, is it safe for social partner dances to resume for fully vaccinated and boosted individuals? It is difficult to dance masked. Should masks be worn in this setting? Should the number of dancers be limited? Many of our dancers are over 65 and some have other health conditions. Are there special safety concerns for them? 20. I am again writing with questions regarding church services. We again closed our doors for in-person services early in January, when omicon became more and more prevalent. Except for a very few, the congregation is fully boosted and N 95 masks are required. When do you deem it safe to reopen and under what restrictions? (Eating-- standing face-to-face for coffee and cookies, and dinners-- masking, singing and distancing?) Are the singer's masks which you recommended to us several weeks ago still adequate or must N 95 masks be worn by choir members? May I again say how very grateful we are for your dedication and the well considered and science-based guidance that you give to our two counties. 3 Julie Shannon From: Heidi Eisenhour Sent: Friday, February 4, 2022 10:03 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Friday 5 I CARES Act I LTC I VSP I Cyber Crime I Clark County From: Washington Counties I WSAC Sent: Friday, February 4, 2022 9:59:58 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Heidi Eisenhour Subject: Friday 5 I CARES Act I LTC I VSP I Cyber Crime I Clark County ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

The slides from the presentation and an Executive Summary of the Management Plan is attached.The public comment period is open and counties are encouraged to review and comment through the link. Counties' attention should be given to chapter seven,the Implementation Plan,which identifies short-and long-range actions and performance goals for the heritage area, as well as guiding principles for implementation.This is a non-regulatory plan and while there does not seem to be anything of concern, it should be reviewed for applicability and feasibility within your jurisdiction. Your parks and recreation divisions may have the best insights. The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation is seeking letters of support to submit with the Plan.The Coastal Caucus will reconvene on February 24th from 3-4 pm to approve comments and/or a letter of support. Please mark your calendars. For Background:The Maritime Washington National Heritage Area (MW-NHA) was officially designated by Congress in 2019 as a nationally significant cultural landscape.The heritage area encompasses 3,000 miles of Washington State's saltwater coastline,from Grays Harbor County to the Canadian border—including 18 federally recognized tribes, 13 counties, 32 incorporated cities, 30 ports, and your counties. Managed by the nonprofit Washington Trust for Historic Preservation,the MW-NHA works to build partnerships and increase collaboration in order to better celebrate, maintain, and share the stories of our state's saltwater shorelines. National Heritage Areas: •Are supported by the National Park Service but are locally managed and entirely non-regulatory. •Focus on facilitating partnerships and aligning goals between multiple jurisdictions, private industries, nonprofits, and other entities to support communities in sharing their unique stories and maintaining resources that matter to them. •Are flexible programs that can support locally identified needs, including historic preservation, economic development, natural resource conservation, recreation, heritage tourism, and education. Brynn Brady Ceiba Consulting I Martin Flynn Public Affairs, Inc. 1253.686.3387 i MARITIME WASHINGTON NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN DRAFT Executive Summary We are connected by water. Washington State's coastal areas—from the Pacific Ocean into the Salish Sea, stretching across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and throughout Puget Sound—have been defined by their relationship to saltwater, connected by a shared maritime heritage. Since time immemorial, water and maritime culture have shaped this place and its people, contributing greatly to the development of the region and, in more recent centuries, the nation. Today, maritime heritage remains a vibrant part of Washington's communities. The designation of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area along our state's saltwater shorelines recognizes the importance of Washington's maritime heritage to our local, regional, and national story. WHAT IS THE MARITIME WASHINGTON NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA? National Heritage Areas are designated by Congress as places where natural, cultural, and historic u,., '". a AN rr resources combine to form 1 s a nationally important landscape. National Heritage • Areas build public-private partnerships to better tell , the stories of these places OeNsl. ' and support communities in maintaining and sharing their SL unique resources. Although "' supported by the National Park Service, National =fir .t0,00,,h0 �{„t txapt'z', Heritage Areas are unique in that they are locally run and completely non-regulatory. wI4 There is no change in ownership of land, no added rules or regulations, and participation is completely 14,1io'Gi,0'1,1,, a 0, voluntary. In 2019, the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area was designated by Congress to help share and preserve our state's unique maritime heritage resources and stories. Its purpose is to support those who celebrate, maintain, and share our water-based experiences, to strengthen partnerships and increase collaboration, and to enhance the way residents and visitors alike think about and experience our maritime heritage. Maritime Washington National Heritage Area Management Plan - DRAFT Maritime Washington includes 3,000 miles of Washington State's saltwater coastline from Grays Harbor County to the Canadian border, extending one- quarter mile inland from the mean high tide line. Its boundaries include the coastal lands of 18 federally recognized Tribes, 13 counties, 32 incorporated cities, and 33 port districts. WHAT IS THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, AND HOW WAS IT CREATED? The Management Plan outlines the goals, strategies, policies, and plans for the future of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area. It is the "navigation plan," outlining what this new program will look like, what it will do, and how it will do it. The plan will serve as a useful and living document to guide staff, leadership, and partners in working together to launch this new National Heritage Area. The Management Plan includes seven chapters: • Chapter One: Introduction: Provides background on the purpose of Maritime Washington and creation of this Management Plan. • Chapter Two: Grounding: Includes geographic, demographic, and historical overviews of the Maritime Washington region. • Chapter Three: Directional Guidance: Outlines the mission and goals of the heritage area, as well as its key functions and partnership structures. • Chapter Four: Interpretive Plan: Presents a framework for interpreting and sharing the narratives and resources of the area, including themes, key sites, and strategies for sharing and amplifying stories. • Chapter Five: Branding and Marketing Plan: Includes the brand identity of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area and outlines communication tactics. • Chapter Six: Business Plan: Describes the organizational structures, policies, and strategies for governing, staffing, managing, and funding the heritage area. • Chapter Seven: Implementation Plan: Identifies short- and long-range actions and performance goals for the heritage area, as well as guiding principles for implementation. • Appendices, including this executive summary of this Management Plan, a copy of Maritime Washington's enabling legislation, additional information on key sites, a resource inventory, a detailed overview of the management planning process, tables summarizing implementation actions, an overview of completed projects to date, and letters of support. The plan took shape through a highly collaborative process over the course of Maritime Washington National Heritage Area Management Plan - DRAFT three years. Planning efforts were led by a Steering Committee, representing diverse perspectives and interests from across the region, alongside five working groups, including a Tribal Working Group. Members of the public contributed to this vision through surveys, mapping activities, individual interviews, and 15 public workshops, focus groups, and summits. Now, the community is continuing to refine the course ahead for Maritime Washington by reviewing and providing input on the draft of the Management Plan. WHAT WILL MARITIME WASHINGTON DO? Vision: Maritime Washington envisions a future in which • Maritime partners are stronger through increased organizational sustainability, more funding opportunities, stronger cross-sector and cross-regional relationships, broadened networks for sharing ideas and solutions, and increased support for leaders and practitioners. • Maritime heritage in Washington celebrates and reflects the diverse people, communities, and cultures within it—past, present, and future. • Residents and visitors alike are more connected to Washington's saltwater shores and waterways through interpretation, physical access, and a strong sense of place/identity. Mission: The Maritime Washington National Heritage Area supports a network that strengthens the maritime community and connects people with the stories, experiences, sites, and cultures of our state's saltwater shores and waterways. Key functions: Partner support, external messaging, and advocacy Partnership structure: Collaboration with and amongst partners will be critical to the success of Maritime Washington. All National Heritage Areas are based on the idea of partnership: bringing together a range of Tribes, organizations, businesses, industries, and governments to better protect and share heritage resources and stories. One of the great strengths of Maritime Washington is the incredible quality and quantity of potential partners who contribute to our state's maritime heritage and culture. Maritime Washington will rally these groups to create a robust cross-sector network that strengthens all who participate in it, through networking, knowledge sharing, trainings, resources, and other support for leaders and practitioners. Any organization (private or public, for-profit or nonprofit) or Tribe whose work is aligned with the Maritime Washington mission may choose to become a partner of the Maritime Washington network. Maritime Washington National Heritage Area Management Plan - DRAFT INTERPRETATION Taken together, the combination of compelling narratives, intangible cultural practices, physical resources, and effective storytellers provide those experiencing Maritime Washington with unparalleled opportunities to connect with the stories of this place. To help organize the presentation of these stories, Maritime Washington has developed eight interpretive themes, which will provide the heritage area and its partners with a helpful framework through which to highlight the region's many and diverse maritime stories, sites, and resources. 1. Canoe cultures 5. Securing our shores 2. Voyages of exploration 6. Natural resources and human im- pacts 3. Trade and working water- fronts 7. Communities shaped by water 4. Water highways hwa s 8 Water an d recreation The key interpretive function of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area will be to act as an amplifier and supporter of community-based storytellers. Maritime Washington does not aim to duplicate these efforts, nor does it wish to tell any community's stories for them. Instead, the heritage area will strive to elevate the stories being told and opportunities offered by our partners, helping them reach wider audiences. BRANDING AND MARKETING "01 Boa r�„a The Maritime Washington brand represents the heritage area as a program, as well as the region as a whole. It reflects: • Our shorelines' diverse personalities, from calming, peaceful, and meditative to restless, MARITIME rugged, and dramatic. WASHINGTON • The vibrant cultures of our saltwater shores, NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA which make us unlike all other places. Shaped by Sea&Story • Our promise to deepen connection between people, organizations, and maritime heritage. For Maritime Washington to best serve those who live, work, and play within the heritage area, our community needs to know who we are, what we do, and what we hope to achieve together. Early communication efforts will focus on existing and potential partners and then grow to include residents and, later, visitors to the area. Maritime Washington National Heritage Area Management Plan - DRAFT BUSINESS STRUCTURE National Heritage Areas are supported by the National Park Service but are managed locally. The local coordinating entity for Maritime Washington is the statewide nonprofit Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. Moving forward, Maritime Washington will be guided by the Washington Trust Board of Directors, a Maritime Washington Advisory Board, and a Maritime Washington Tribal Working Group. The implementation of Maritime Washington programming and operations will be supported by a minimum of two full-time staff.

A 1 2 Washington Recovery • Recovery from the severe storms, straight-line winds,flooding, landslides and mudslides Nov. 5-Dec. 2, 2021 is well under way. • This effort is federally supported, state managed, and locally executed. FEMA is coordinating with the Washington Emergency Management Division to carry out the governor's priorities and to provide federal support. • On January 5, President Biden issued a Major Disaster Declaration for the State of Washington.This declaration covered the period Nov.13-15, 2021 and made federal funding available to those affected in designated areas. • On Jan. 27, the declaration was amended, at the request of the governor,to cover a wider period,from Nov. 5 to Dec. 2, 2021.This means more households may be eligible for FEMA assistance. • Individuals and households in the following areas with uninsured damage from the disaster may apply for FEMA assistance: Clallam, Skagit and Whatcom counties,the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, Lummi Nation, Makah Tribe, Nooksack Indian Tribe, Quileute Tribe, Samish Indian Nation,Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community and Upper Skagit Indian Tribe. • Residents in the designated areas can apply online at disasterassistance.gov, call 800-621-3362, or use the FEMA mobile app. • The deadline for Individual Assistance applications is March 7, 2022. • Individual Assistance is not a replacement for insurance. It can't make people whole but it can provide grants for temporary housing and home repairs. • As of Feb.4, FEMA has approved nearly$4 million in grants to individuals and households and have 1,459 applicants in designated counties.And we are processing more applications every day. • SBA has approved $5.4 million in low interest loans. • NFIP has approved $16 million in insurance payouts. • In all, more than $25 million has been paid out to disaster survivors in the affected areas. • Significant efforts are being made to reach out to affected populations. We are using Disaster Recovery Centers, where state, FEMA and SBA staff help survivors with FEMA applications, SBA disaster loans and other resources. • The Disaster Recovery Centers are operating in Deming, Everson, Ferndale, Forks, Hamilton, Sedro-Woolley and Sumas. Centers will open in Concrete and the Lummi Nation on Monday.To date these centers have been visited by more than 550 people. • We also have Disaster Survivor Assistance teams in communities helping people apply for FEMA assistance. These teams have interacted with more than 1,000 people and 500 businesses. 3 • On Jan. 27, in addition to expanding the incident period, FEMA authorized the Public Assistance Program for local and tribal governments and certain nonprofit organizations in Clallam, Island,Jefferson, Lewis, San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom counties and the Hoh Indian Tribe,the Lummi Nation, Nooksack Indian Tribe,the Quileute Tribe and the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. • The addition of Public Assistance to the declaration will provide significant financial help to communities as they recover from this disaster. • Public Assistance provides reimbursement for the eligible costs of emergency response, debris removal and restoration of disaster damaged public facilities and infrastructure. • FEMA is supporting the state as it prepares to conduct briefings for applicants.Several applicants already have submitted Requests for Public Assistance and those are being processed. • The deadline for Requests for Public Assistance is Feb. 26, 2022.

FEMA is coordinating with the Washington Emergency Management Division to carry out the governor's priorities and to provide federal support. • On January 5, President Biden issued a Major Disaster Declaration for the State of Washington. This declaration covered the period Nov.13-15, 2021 and made federal funding available to those affected in designated areas. • On Jan. 27,the declaration was amended, at the request of the governor, to cover a wider period,from Nov. 5 to Dec. 2, 2021.This means more households may be eligible for FEMA assistance. • Individuals and households in the following areas with uninsured damage from the disaster may apply for FEMA assistance: Clallam,Skagit and Whatcom counties,the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, Lummi Nation, Makah Tribe, Nooksack Indian Tribe, Quileute Tribe, Samish Indian Nation, Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community and Upper Skagit Indian Tribe. • Residents in the designated areas can apply online at disasterassistance.gov, call 800-621-3362, or use the FEMA mobile app. • The deadline for Individual Assistance applications is March 7, 2022. • Individual Assistance is not a replacement for insurance. It can't make people whole but it can provide grants for temporary housing and home repairs. • As of Feb. 4, FEMA has approved nearly $4 million in grants to individuals and households and have 1,459 applicants in designated counties. And we are processing more applications every day. • SBA has approved $5.4 million in low interest loans. • NFIP has approved $16 million in insurance payouts. • In all, more than $25 million has been paid out to disaster survivors in the affected areas. . ,. otiep�Fj;` . �U VIAUT� 44Nsv,C, Feb.4, 2022 1 FEMA Advisory • Significant efforts are being made to reach out to affected populations. We are using Disaster Recovery Centers, where state, FEMA and SBA staff help survivors with FEMA applications, SBA disaster loans and other resources. • The Disaster Recovery Centers are operating in Deming, Everson, Ferndale, Forks, Hamilton, Sedro-Woolley and Sumas. Centers will open in Concrete and the Lummi Nation on Monday.To date these centers have been visited by more than 550 people. • We also have Disaster Survivor Assistance teams in communities helping people apply for FEMA assistance. These teams have interacted with more than 1,000 people and 500 businesses. • On Jan. 27, in addition to expanding the incident period, FEMA authorized the Public Assistance Program for local and tribal governments and certain nonprofit organizations in Clallam, Island,Jefferson, Lewis, San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom counties and the Hoh Indian Tribe, the Lummi Nation, Nooksack Indian Tribe,the Quileute Tribe and the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. • The addition of Public Assistance to the declaration will provide significant financial help to communities as they recover from this disaster. • Public Assistance provides reimbursement for the eligible costs of emergency response, debris removal and restoration of disaster damaged public facilities and infrastructure. • FEMA is supporting the state as it prepares to conduct briefings for applicants. Several applicants already have submitted Requests for Public Assistance and those are being processed. • The deadline for Requests for Public Assistance is Feb. 26, 2022.

WSAC WASHINGTON STATE ASSOCIATION °f COUNTIESFebruary 4, 2022 LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN 41113, Overview From Olympia Next Thursday marks the official halfway point— day 30 — of the 60-day 2022 legislative session. But there's much to do before then. Thursday, February 3, was the day by which bills must have passed out of a policy committee in their house of origin. Marathon fiscal hearings will commence tomorrow (Saturday) and on Monday, as bills with a price tag must move out of the fiscal committees in their house of origin by Monday night.

If you're already lost, this may not be the legislative update for you. If hearing the phrase A-team conjures images of 19" TVs with rabbit ears on top covered in aluminum foil and five channels you had to physically get out of your chair to turn a dial on the set to view, then continue reading. If it also evokes warm feelings of Americana and the aroma of delicious Salisbury steak tv dinners served in foil trays with mashed potatoes, corn, and that little tiny cobbler dessert that came out of boxes with the words "hungry man" printed on them, you're in the right place.

Read more Police Misconduct, Election Bills, and Property Tax Exemptions (deja vu all over again!) 3 A bill that would let counties be sued for certain police misconduct appears to be stalled again this year. WSAC opposes HB 1202 based on its expansive tort liability costs and our belief that court orders are a poor way to set policy and get at underlying reform. One estimate based on risk pool data shows that costs could go up by 475% if this bill is enacted.

We've taken in over 200 animals from this one case alone. The Olympic Peninsula Humaine Society in Clallam County has six dogs from this case and two ferrets.WAG has four little dogs(one Yorkie had puppies already!), fi We've taken in 15 Anatolian Shepherds, a goat, an emu, and tons of birds.We can't share much more because this is still a pending case, but we're hoping to have ownership of all of the animals soon so we can work on getting them loving homes. Assuming ail goes well,we will have lots of chickens, waterfowl, geese, ducks, a goat, and more dogs who will all need homes. We also want to give a shout-out to WAG,who is helping us care for the dogs currently in our care. i ti These dedicated volunteers are a joy to chat with, and they do a great job with the dogs. Another shout-out to our amazing volunteers who have been working hard to make-sure all the animals in our care are getting the attention,cleaning, and love that they need.We truly wouldn't be = able to do the work we do without our volunteers rolling with the influx of animals and stepping up to ,, help. mil •' a � ^ `V i ,.t« iep �µ "�� ,V V V" �VP �IIVIVpt �f� �V�Clau ,.;..�!lill'�ux����Ilo �I�1ls'�,.m l ��'11�Nn p�(iMiiY(l��,'U.dm�arai„9li� wm{•.��(��.�!'��4�!a., 'i�N G n,,.. �ii 'aVu; ulli w7 m�irliq 2 THE PUPS READY FOR ADOPTION tip Elsie This sweet pup has been through a lot with her background, but she's full of love, and just a few weeks with us, we can tell she's going to make the best friend for one fortunate family!

Public comment for the meeting : To our commissioners, As our "elected officials" you are working for us, not for Big Pharma, not for Gov Inslee, not for Dr Berry, but for us The People. To ensure this responsibility, you are required to have a Security Bond to cover possible liabilities for failure to "do no harm". Therefore i would remind you of the importance of being properly informed of the consequences of mandates imposed on us The People and that censorship is never a wise way to get informed. Dissenting opinions, warning of the possible damages caused by mandating masks for school children, injections of drugs that have not been properly tested nor approved, have been silenced and ridiculed. In order to make sure you are totally aware of the dangers of this refusal to hear and know, i share with you the distressing disclosure of the medical data regarding the findings from our Department of Defense about increase in health issues since the imposition of vaccinations on our military.

Watch Entire Sen. Johnson Panel Here r enz....law.cor There are thousands of doctors worldwide who are risking their livelihood, their license, their reputation, even their life to warn us about these vaccine injuries, and still you find it ok to push vaccinations on children and 2 mandate them for people to be able to work and provide for their families. Why !? Because you refuse to hear any dissenting voices ? Wake up and start truly caring for the health of the people who elected you to do just that. The choice to accept or not any medical procedure or drug, should be for each individual to make personally, based on INFORMED consent. I truly hope that you will open your minds and hearts to this haunting truth before you come to regret what you have helped create : an environment of fear, division and suffering.

[+] DEFODI IMAGES VIA GETTY IMAGES In fiscal year 2021, the U.S. government paid $246.9 million in claims for vaccine-related injuries and deaths. Not a single payout was related to Covid-19 vaccines. https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/11/04/feds-pay-zero-claims-for-covid-19-vaccine-injuriesdeaths/?sh=113fedf14a87 1/6 2/10/22, 10:23 AM Feds Pay Zero Claims For Covid-19 Vaccine Injuries/Deaths Each person with a "provable" injury from a Covid vaccine could claim up to $379,00o from a special Covid vaccine fund set up by the federal government. The payout for death could be as high as $370,376. However, according to an OpenTheBooks.com investigation, the federal government didn't pay a penny for Covid-vaccine claims. The special fund for these claims is called the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). There were only 1,357 claims filed that alleged "injuries/deaths from the Covid vaccines," and 53 were listed as deaths, according to recent reporting by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). By contrast, the self-reporting Vaccine Adverse Reporting System (VAERS) lists 16,310 deaths related to Covid vaccines. Of these, "5,326 of the deaths occurred on Day o, 1,or 2 following vaccination[.]" The low number of applicants to the CICP fund for injuries or death from the Covid vaccine suggests that people don't know the special fund exists. The "normal" vaccine fund, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), has existed since 1988 and provides compensation for injuries or deaths associated with most vaccines routinely administered in the United States (such as pediatric and seasonal influenza vaccines), according to the Congressional Research Service. MORE FROM FORBES ADVISOR Companies Best Travel Insurance By Amy Danise Editor Best Covid-19 Travel Insurance Plans By Amy Danise Editor https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/11/04/feds-pay-zero-claims-for-covid-19-vaccine-inju riesdeaths/?sh=113fedf14a87 2/6 2/10/22, 10:23 AM Feds Pay Zero Claims For Covid-19 Vaccine Injuries/Deaths Last year, this fund paid out $246.9 million in vaccine-related injuries and deaths. Payouts include $250,00o for a vaccine-caused death and $250,000 "for pain and suffering and emotional distress."A special vaccine court handles these claims. However, in the case of Covid-19 vaccines developed and approved under Project Warp Speed, deaths resulting from a Covid vaccine would pay out through the CICP and would pay more money than a vaccine-related death in normal times. Since the benefit for a death caused by a Covid-19 vaccine is $370,376 for fiscal year 2021 and $50,00o per year for lost employment income (with a lifetime cap to be "generally $379,000"). So, the death benefit is $120,376 higher than for other vaccines ($250,000). However, there is no equivalent to the VICP's $250,000 "for pain and suffering and emotional distress" under the current Covid-19 parameters. Here are some other differences between the two vaccine-injury funds: https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamand rzejewski/2021/11/04/feds-pay-zero-claims-for-covid-19-vaccine-injuriesdeaths/?sh=113fedf14a87 3/6 2/10/22, 10:23 AM Feds Pay Zero Claims For Covid-19 Vaccine Injuries/Deaths 1. No attorney fees. The Covid fund is not authorized to provide reimbursement for attorneys' fees. Therefore, lawyers have less incentive to represent claims. 2. Injured children receive small payouts. A Covid vaccine-injured child would only be reimbursed for "reasonable medical expenses." Since the child survived and isn't employed, there's no other compensation. 3. Narrow window to file a claim. The Covid fund allows a one-year window to file a claim whereas the regular vaccine fund has a three- year window. And sure enough, the CICP fund hasn't paid out a dime in Covid-vaccine claims. HHS bluntly states online, "As of October 1, 2021, the CICP has not compensated any Covid-ig countermeasures claims." BACKGROUND: The federal government is still operating under the "public health emergency" declared by Trump administration HHS Secretary Alex Azar on February 4, 2020. This declaration created a different funding stream for claims from adverse reactions to vaccines. Congress established the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) as part of the PREP Act in 2005 to encourage the rapid development and deployment of medical countermeasures during a public health emergency. The Public Health Emergency (PHE) declaration has been renewed multiple times, most recently by Biden Administration HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, on October 15, 2021, effective October 18, 2021. (Under federal law, the declaration lasts go days and can be renewed). For the most part, since that February 4, 2020, declaration, "manufacturers, distributors, and health care providers are generally immune from legal liability (i.e., they cannot be sued for money damages in court) for losses https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/11/04/feds-pay-zero-claims-for-covid-1 9-vaccine-i njuriesdeaths/?sh=113fedf14a87 4/6 2/10/22, 10:23 AM Feds Pay Zero Claims For Covid-19 Vaccine Injuries/Deaths related to the administration or use of covered countermeasures against Covid-19L,]" CRS reports. This liability protection enabled those industry players to shift into high gear to address the pandemic without fear of lawsuits. Under the PHE declaration, the CICP funds any lawsuits related to adverse reactions proven by victims or their families. $246.9 million in non-COVID-vaccine-related claims (FY2o2i) According to the VICP's latest report dated October 2021, $4.6 billion in total compensation has been "paid over the life of the program" (which began in 1988). From 2006-2019, 6,054 claims were compensated out of the 8,516 petitions for compensation that were "adjudicated by the Court[.]" According to the table included on page nine of the report, in fiscal year 2021 the U.S. government paid out $210.4 million to 722 petitioners, and, after adding in attorney's fees the total U.S. taxpayer outlay was $246.9 million. With such a complicated and bureaucratic process in place, it's no wonder that zero Covid-vaccine claims have been paid to victims or their families. NOTE: The vaccine injury/death compensation issue was first tipped to us by the prestigious Illinois watchdog organization, Edgar County Watchdogs. Learn more here. We reached out to Health and Human Services and a spokesperson replied. Review the entire response here. "The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) is working to process claims as expeditiously as possible. For the majority of COVID- 19 countermeasure claims, including COVID-19 vaccine claims, the CICP is https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamand rzejewski/2021/11/04/feds-pay-zero-claims-for-covid-1 9-vaccine-injuriesdeaths/?sh=113fedf14a87 5/6 2/10/22, 10:23 AM Feds Pay Zero Claims For Covid-19 Vaccine Injuries/Deaths still waiting for records and documentation to be submitted.About 90 percent of claims are awaiting medical records for review. Requesters are permitted to submit the necessary medical records after the claim is filed and this is the most significant factor in the processing time for CICP claims."

(..... D ON A r E ) 1/9 In late 2020,Brianne Dressen began to spend hours in online communities for people with Long Covid,a chronic,disabling syndrome that can follow a bout with the virus."For months,I just lurked there,"says Dressen,a former preschool teacher in Saratoga Springs,Utah, "reviewing post after post of symptoms that were just like my own." Dressen had never had COVID-19.But that November,she'd received a dose of AstraZeneca's vaccine as a volunteer in a clinical trial.By that evening,her vision blurred and sound became distorted—"I felt like I had two seashells on my ears,"she says.Her symptoms rapidly worsened and multiplied,ultimately including heart rate fluctuations,severe muscle weakness, and what she describes as debilitating internal electric shocks. A doctor diagnosed her with anxiety.Her husband,Brian Dressen,a chemist,began to comb the scientific literature,desperate to help his wife,a former rock climber who now spent most of her time in a darkened room,unable to brush her teeth or tolerate her young children's touch. As time passed,the Dressens found other people who had experienced serious,long-lasting health problems after a COVID-19 vaccine,regardless of the manufacturer.By January 2021,researchers at the National Institutes of Health(NIH)began to hear about such reports and sought to learn more,bringing Brianne Dressen and other affected people to the agency's headquarters for testing and sometimes treatment. The research was small in scale and drew no conclusions about whether or how vaccines may have caused rare,lasting health problems.The patients had"temporal associations"between vaccination and their faltering health,says Avindra Nath,clinical director at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke(NINDS),who has been leading the NIH efforts.But"an etiological association?I don't know."In other words,he does not know whether vaccination directly caused the subsequent health problems. NIH's communications with patients faded by late 2021,though Nath says the work continues behind the scenes.The pullback caused bewilderment and dismay among patients who spoke with Science,who said the NIH researchers were the only ones helping them.Now,a small number of other researchers worldwide is beginning to study whether the biology of Long Covid, itself still poorly understood,overlaps with the mysterious mechanisms driving certain postvaccine side effects. ADVERTISEMENT More discrete side effects connected to COVID-19 vaccines have been recognized,including a rare but severe clotting disorder that occurs after the AstraZeneca and Johnson&Johnson vaccines and heart inflammation,documented after the messenger RNA(mRNA)vaccines manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna.Probing possible side effects presents a dilemma to researchers: They risk fomenting rejection of vaccines that are generally safe,effective,and crucial to saving lives."You have to be very careful"before tying COVID-19 vaccines to complications,Nath cautions."You can make the wrong conclusion....The implications are huge."And complex and lingering symptoms like Dressen's are even more difficult to study because patients can lack a clear diagnosis. At the same time,understanding these problems could help those currently suffering and,if a link is nailed down,help guide the design of the next generation of vaccines and perhaps identify those at high risk for serious side effects."We shouldn't be averse to adverse events,"says William Murphy,an immunologist at the University of California,Davis.In November 2021 in The New England Journal of Medicine,he proposed that an autoimmune mechanism triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein might explain both Long Covid symptoms and some rare vaccine side effects,and he called for more basic research to probe possible connections."Reassuring the public that everything is being done,researchwise,to understand the vaccines is more important than just saying everything is safe,"Murphy says.Like others,he continues to urge vaccination.

Long Covid,in contrast,affects anywhere from about 5%to 30%of those infected by SARS-CoV-2.Researchers are making tentative progress with several ideas about the underlying biology.Some studies suggest the virus may in certain cases linger in tissues and cause ongoing damage.Other evidence indicates aftereffects of the original infection might play a role even after the body clears the virus. For example,evidence from animal studies supports the idea that antibodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein—the same protein that many vaccines use to trigger a protective immune response—might cause collateral damage,notes Harald Pruss,a neurologist at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases(DZNE)and the Charite University Hospital in Berlin.In 2020,while hunting for antibody therapies for COVID-19,he and his colleagues discovered that of 18 antibodies they identified with potent effects against SARS-CoV-2,four also targeted healthy tissues in mice—a sign they could trigger autoimmune problems. We shouldn't be averse to adverse events. WILUAM MURPHY I UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,DAVIS Early clinical data point in a similar direction.Over the past year,research groups have detected unusually high levels of autoantibodies,which can attack the body's own cells and tissues,in people after a SARS-CoV-2 infection.In Nature in May 2021,immunologists Aaron Ring and Akiko Iwasaki at Yale School of Medicine and their colleagues reported finding autoantibodies in acute COVID-19 patients that target the immune system and brain;they are now investigating how long the autoantibodies persist and whether they can damage tissues.This month,Cedars-Sinai Medical Center cardiologist Susan Cheng and protein chemist Justyna Fert-Bober wrote in the Journal of Translational Medicine that autoantibodies could last up to 6 months after infection,although the researchers did not correlate autoantibodies'persistence with ongoing symptoms. In part to understand whether these autoantibodies harm people,DZNE is checking the cerebrospinal fluid of Long Covid patients for antibodies that react to mouse brain tissue—if they do react,they might attack human neural tissues as well.In a paper Pruss and his colleagues are about to submit,they describe finding autoantibodies that attack mouse neurons and other brain cells in at least one-third of those patients.A group at Northwestern University,meanwhile,reported in an August 2021 preprint that in people with neurological complications after COVID-19,a subset of T cells is persistently activated as would happen with an ongoing SARS-CoV-2 infection,suggesting some sort of aberrant immune response or lingering virus. Some researchers are looking at another possible culprit for Long Covid:tiny clots in the blood.In an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection,small clots can form that can damage cells that line blood vessels.Resia Pretorius,a physiologist at Stellenbosch University in South Africa,and her colleagues published preliminary evidence in August in Cardiovascular Diabetology that microscopic clots can linger after an infection clears.They might interfere with oxygen delivery,which could explain some Long Covid symptoms such as brain fog.Pretorius is now teaming up with colleagues to develop diagnostics for this microclotting and study ways to treat it in Long Covid. Pretorius says she and her colleagues have also seen patients—fewer than 20,she estimates—with chronic problems following vaccination.She says these include Long Covid—like symptoms such as brain fog as well as other clotting concerns such as deep vein thrombosis.The cause of the very rare but severe clotting after the AstraZeneca and Johnson&Johnson vaccines remains unknown,but Pretorius suspects all COVID-19 vaccines might also sometimes trigger subtler clotting issues.She says she has preliminary evidence that vaccination can lead to microclots,although,in most cases they go unnoticed and quickly Support nonprofit science journalism X Help News from Science publish trustworthy,high-impact stories about research and the people who shape it.Please make a tax-deductible gift today. C O s1 I 3/9 Long Covid research also brought the Dressens to Nath.In January 2021,Brian Dressen sought help from Nath,who had been studying. g Covid.Nath responded quickly and asked Brianne Dressen to join an ongoing study he leads on the natural history of inflammatory diseases of the nervous system. Dozens more patients describing postvaccine complications found their way to Nath and Farinaz Safavi,an NINDS neurologist. "I promise you we will report your issue and other cases we are reviewing now,"Safavi wrote to Danice Hertz in March 2021. Hertz,a retired gastroenterologist who lives in Southern California,had developed debilitating side effects after one dose of the Pfizer vaccine.Senior officials at the U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA),the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,and Pfizer,among others,were copied on the email,which Hertz shared with Science. Over the first half of 2021,Nath and Safavi invited Brianne Dressen and others to NIH for testing and,in some cases,short- term treatment,for example with high-dose steroids or intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG),which can quell or modulate immune responses.The patients spent at least several days undergoing neurological,cardiac,and other tests,including lumbar punctures and skin biopsies. The NIH researchers were"trying to help people,"says a health care worker whose symptoms began after the Pfizer vaccine, one of four people in the study who spoke to Science.Nath says 34 people were enrolled on the protocol, 14 of whom spent time at NIH;the other 20 shipped their blood samples and in some cases cerebrospinal fluid. As time passed,however,the patients say the NIH scientists pulled back.A September visit Brianne Dressen had scheduled for additional neurologic testing was converted to a telemedicine appointment.In December,Nath asked her to stop sending patients his way. "It is best for such patients to receive care from their local physicians,"he wrote to her. ;, , �' 0„ F - '?"''•"",.., -''..,,'" ; !Z "g- i.'17 g ✓5.i �� E ate Vi :: i s k " ,: m: : 711 L 1,- .. i ` ti � � r !'''', , ,1/2 Ia.:1,, 1,_-.--zo,- 1.,A t- ',,;,,,,f,.0 ',,,--V i o. -„ *'' 'F'' "". 1'44' • --14:--7 ' ;. ,.'44, \ ' ' s '''' -ff0',;-.„.4:4 0 ''744 ti" - Y SX4.: M�� i 111 Y YY4 Y ,...r.�.-_I, •1.

CDONAr E ) / 4/9 Nath told Science NIH facilities are not equipped to treat large numbers of patients long-term.Says the health care worker of the effort:"It's too much for two people at the NIH to do." The NIH data,which documented the patient cases,haven't been reported yet.Two top medical journals declined to publish a case series of about 30 people,which Nath first submitted in March 2021.Nath says he understands the rejection.The data weren't"cut and dried;it was observational studies."This month,the scientists submitted a case series of 23 people to a third publication,and Nath says his group has submitted an amendment to a Long Covid protocol to include patients with postvaccine side effects. Science contacted regulators and vaccinernakers about any information they'd gleaned on these side effects.A Pfizer spokesperson wrote,"We can confirm it's something we're monitoring."Moderna,AstraZeneca,and Johnson&Johnson all said they take side effects seriously and share reports they receive with regulators.An FDA spokesperson said the agency "continues to maintain a strong focus on monitoring the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines,"while the European Medicines Agency notes it"is taking steps to use real-world data from clinical practice to monitor the safety and effectiveness of COVID- 19 treatments and vaccines." Other researchers note the scientific community is uneasy about studying such effects."Everyone is tiptoeing around it," Pretorius says."I've talked to a lot of clinicians and researchers at various universities,and they don't want to touch it." Still,her group and others are pushing ahead.Press has detected autoantibodies in some patients with postvaccine symptoms, although not in others.Several groups are studying whether a patient's postvaccination symptoms are due to autoantibodies to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2)receptor,which the spike protein targets.Cheng and her colleagues are planning a case series that includes sophisticated imaging and diagnostic tests from a mix of Long Covid patients and those with postvaccine side effects.And Pretorius and her colleague Chantelle Venter are hoping to recruit at least 50 people to study clotting patterns before and after vaccination. At Yale,Iwasaki is planning to collaborate with Nath and look at any potential link between Long Covid and postvaccine effects,she says.She has spoken with affected patients and her lab intends to collect samples from them,potentially of blood or saliva.Murphy says more work is needed in animal models to trace the body's response to vaccination."We need to look at this in controlled situations,"he says. Priiss is hunting for autoantibodies following COVID-19 vaccination in mice.And he continues to care for patients,both postvaccine and postinfection.His clinic hopes to soon start a clinical trial of a treatment that removes most antibodies from a patient's blood.However,even if it works well,the procedure is expensive and might not be widely available. Patients in the middle People with lasting health problems after vaccination welcome any attention to their plight."You have this ugly stain on you, and you're marginalized and abandoned,"Brianne Dressen says.At first,"I was really afraid of causing vaccine hesitancy,"she adds. Other patients describe vaccine opponents asserting that they deserve to die because they were foolish enough to get vaccinated.Vaccine supporters tell them that by speaking out they risk harming others,who may refuse to get vaccinated and then die from COVID-19."We're stuck in this horrible in-between,"says the patient who traveled to NIH last spring. Brianne Dressen,for her part,went public.She says she was frustrated when it appeared that regulators,including FDA,were not promptly investigating the apparent side effects.She took part in a June 2021 press conference about vaccine side effects held by Senator Ron Johnson(R—WI),who has been outspoken against COVID-19 vaccinations."Talking to politicians was not our plan A...not even close,"Brianne Dressen says,"It was more like plan I."

DONATE-( 5/9 her symptoms overlapped with a hormonal system called the renn-angiotensin-aldosterone system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance—and in which ACE2 plays a key role.She has recently connected with doctors who are trying to learn whether autoantibodies targeting that system might be causing her symptoms. Despite her experience, "I still think the vaccines are great,"Ruhrlander says.And the mRNA technology"has so much potential."But these side effects,which for her have improved somewhat but haven't disappeared,should be acknowledged and understood,she says."We have to speak openly about it." Some of the patients who spoke with Science say medications that tamp down the immune system have offered at least a measure of relief.Nath noticed the same phenomenon.He hopes results from an NIH clinical trial testing IVIG and intravenous steroids in Long Covid patients"will be applicable to the vaccine-related complications."None of the patients with whom Science spoke has fully recovered. Researchers exploring postvaccine side effects all emphasize that the risk of complications from SARS-CoV-2 infection far outweighs that of any vaccine side effect."You see 10, 100, 1000 times less risk from the vaccine,"Pruss says.But understanding the cause of postvaccine symptoms—and whether early treatment can help prevent long-term problems—could be crucial for designing even safer and more effective vaccines,Murphy says,as well as potentially providing clues to the biology of Long Covid. Cheng has heard from dozens of people who describe chronic postvaccine problems,and she finds the overlap between their symptoms and those of Long Covid compelling.Now,she wants to move deliberately and scientifically in a search for answers. "We've got to retain rigor,"she says."There's just this complete dearth of data."

CDONATE 9/9 jeffbocc From: E Lessing Sokol <preussenfrau@hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, February 7, 2022 12:15 PM Subject: Fwd: Biden's plan:Trace, track and control . . . ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Did anyone hear of this from the State Republican Party or National? A U.S. government program is pushing a "Vaccine Passport" both domestically and internationally. And progress is reported directly to the White House. I have reviewed the White House presentation and have seen one of the COVID control apps already in use elsewhere. Read on to learn what we have uncovered. But first, take a moment to fax our government officials. Tell them to DROP their digital control plans NOW. — Mat STOP DIGITAL HEALTH PASSPORTS! Select here or the button below. Kenneth, Liberty Counsel has reviewed a copy of a White House PowerPoint presentation that lays out, in shocking detail, the plan to vaccinate, track, trace and control every American. Calling for a "coordination and alignment of vaccine credential activities across HHS (Health and Human Services) agencies," the document states that Vaccine Passports are "a critical driver for restoring baseline population health and promoting safe return to social, commercial, and leisure activities." The presentation clearly states that the "Federal government will inevitably be involved with vaccine credential solutions." And that it is implementing a "vaccine credential" to be used for "international and domestic travel" and will be "communicating progress to the White House." NO Tracking & Tracing of Americans! Select here or the button below to STOP DIGITAL HEALTH PASSPORTS! 1 I don't know about you, but I do not want Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or any other government official to track me and, worse, take away my freedom. Nor do I want any government official capturing the names, addresses or phone numbers of friends with whom I associate or attend church. But that is exactly what the Biden administration is developing, according to the Department of Health and Human Services presentation. China and Israel have implemented their own "digital health passports." A good friend who lives in Israel showed me his digital vaccine passport phone app that tracks and traces his every move. It is disturbingly similar to the Chinese app that traces, tracks and controls all Chinese citizens' movements. On the Israeli app, each person has an individualized QR code on his or her cell phone. His "vaccination passport" must be scanned before he travels, enters a store or business, or even goes to worship. An app tracks where he is at all times and how close he is to other people. When the government tells him to go home, he MUST comply. If sent home and he then leaves his assigned "zone," his phone will alert authorities! Israel even threatened to cancel the Green Pass of parents who refuse to have their children receive the shots. This tracking and tracing began in China, moved to Israel and is now in America! Hawaii and New York have their own Vaccine Passports. California has conditioned attending large group meetings and public gatherings like restaurants, gyms, stadiums and more on COVID vaccination status. In Washington, D.C., your freedom is determined by your proof of vaccination. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Technology Review publication is a key source of tracking propaganda. One article states, "This new social order will seem unthinkable to most people in so-called free countries. But any change can Quickly become normal if people accept it" (emphasis added). The MIT publication's editor-in-chief writes, "The new normal will be that we are used to the idea that in some cases being able to move around freely is dependent on us being able to show that we're healthy." He adds, "There will be a greater acceptance, I think, of that kind of public health monitoring" (emphasis added). STOP DIGITAL HEALTH PASSPORTS! Select here or the button below. Former Baltimore City Health Commissioner and President Emeritus of Planned Parenthood, Dr. Leana Wen, said on CNN, "We have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status because otherwise, if everything is reopened, then what's the 'carrot' going to be? How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine?" The "carrot" to compel Americans to accept a new experimental drug is to revoke all 2 freedom until the populace accepts the tyrants' demands. The same "carrot" will be used to threaten yet more freedom beyond the COVID pandemic. We saw this when Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker stated he would not free his state's residents from his restrictions until vaccinations were in place. Liberty Counsel helped disabuse Gov. Pritzker of this bad idea when we sued him to free the state's churches. Illinois churchgoers are now free to attend church without any restrictions—and without the governor's COVID shot. But power-hungry politicians are pushing for ever more restrictions! Send your faxes demanding governors and federal legislators stop Vaccine Passports and tracking and tracing apps.

A Guide to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act: A bipartisan Infrastructure law passed in mid-November, is historic in its size—the largest ever investments in broadband, rail and transit, clean energy, and water which allocated funding to over 350 distinct programs across more than a dozen federal departments and agencies. Download the Guide Here 5 Other Good Stuff... FFC Affordable Connectivity Program: On Dec. 31, the Federal Communications Commission launched the Affordable Connectivity Program. This program, created by Congress in the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, is a longer-term replacement for the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program. This investment in broadband affordability will help ensure households can afford the internet connections they need for work, school, health care and more. The ACP provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price. Enrollment in the ACP is now open for households with at least one member qualifying under any of the following criteria: • Has an income that is at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. • Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline. • Participates in tribal-specific programs, such as Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribal TANF or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations. • Is approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision. • Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year. • Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider's existing low-income program. The 9 million households fully enrolled in the EBB program as of Dec. 31, 2021, will continue to receive their current monthly benefit until March 1, 2022. More information about steps current EBB recipients must take to continue receiving the ACP benefit after March 1, 2022, will be available in the coming weeks. For application questions, email ACPSupport@usac.org or call 877-384-2575.

The StyroCyclers accept styrofoam at the Fort Worden Putnam bunker from io:oo am to noon on the end Monday and 4th Saturday of the month.Check the schedule and/or message them at any time at PTStyroCyclersPgmail.com or through their Facebook page.

New IPCC Report on Climate Here is an excerpt from climate.gov about the new climate report released a few weeks ago. "....the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)released the Physical Science Basis report 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 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-igoo,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."

This is part of FEMA's commitment to make communities more resilient. Mitigation Measures Washington homeowners who are eligible for assistance under FEMA's Individuals and Households Program (IHP) because they were affected by the Nov. 5- Dec. 2, 2021, severe storms, straight-line winds, floods, landslides and mudslides may receive additional funds from FEMA for specific mitigation measures. The additional funds may be available to residents of Clallam, Skagit and Whatcom counties,the Lummi Nation, the Nooksack Indian Tribe, the Quileute Tribe and all tribes in the designated areas. Grants may assist with these mitigation measures: ■ Elevating a water heater or furnace to avoid future flood damage. ■ Elevating or moving an electrical panel to avoid future flood damage. Furnace and Water Heater Mitigation Measures Elevating a furnace or water heater above the floor may help reduce the likelihood of future flood damage. FEMA recommends elevating a damaged or destroyed furnace or water heater on a framed platform. Before elevating a furnace or water heater, homeowners should check with their local utility company to find out whether any measurements would limit elevation of these items. Main Electrical Mitigation Measures Elevating or relocating electrical panels may help reduce the likelihood of future flood damage. Utility company requirements and the National Electrical Code place limits on where electrical service equipment can be located. Before elevating an electrical panel, homeowners should check with their local utility company to find out if any requirements would limit elevation or relocation of an electrical panel. For additional information Homeowners can refer to FEMA Publication 312, Homeowners Guide to Retrofitting(2014), Chapter 9, "Protecting Service Equipment." State, tribal and local government requirements may be different from FEMA's guidance and recommendations. Before including the recommended mitigation measures into home repairs, homeowners should work with their local building departments to make sure all state, tribal and local requirements are being met. For communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, homeowners should contact their local floodplain administrator to learn more about flood mitigation measures appropriate to the home type and geographic area. 2 FEMA Fact Sheet 008 D1 -4635-WA Making a Home More Durable FEMA may provide additional funds to eligible homeowners to make their homes more durable when rebuilding after a disaster.

It is essential to the integrity of an eh. ion that ballot processing be accurate and transparent,while maintaining your right to a secret balk . After you return your voted ballot, your county elections department follows this ballot counting •rocess: 1. Your signature on the outer return en -lope is checked against the signature on file in your voter registration record to make sure they ,tch. 2. You are credited for voting in that electie I. This ensures that only one ballot from each voter is counted. 3. The outer return envelope, which identifie .u, is then separated from the inner security envelope, which contains your voted ballot. Your baltot cannot be traced back to you, ensuring the secrecy of your vote. 4. All ballots are inspected to make sure the tabulating machine will be able to read all votes. Tabulation equipment is tested before every election to make sure it is working accurately. The above steps continue with all ballots until the election is certified. Elections are certified 10 days after Special Elections, 14 days after Primaries and 21 days after General Elections. Preliminary election results are released on election night after 8 p.m. and are updated as additional ballots are counted. You are welcome to observe ballot processing. Contact your county elections department for more information. If the ballots are not marked,there would be no need for the first field. One ballot would be generated for each individual with a Voter ID number. 2 Back in the 1990's,the local school district sent out a computer generated survey. These surveys were supposedly"anonymous". I obtained several of these surveys and started comparing them. They all looked identical, except for the computer generated coding along the four sides of the surveys. So, I started asking questions, and I got the royal run-around. But I was definitely making people very uncomfortable. It wasn't long before the school district decided to "pull" the survey. The surveys were marked. There is only one reason for a "Ballot ID" field—the ballots are marked. If you don't believe me, next time you get a ballot, get together with your friends and neighbors and have a ballot swap. Vote the ballot you end up with, put it in the security envelope, put the security envelope in the mailer, sign the mailer, and send it in or deposit it in a drop box. See what happens. I'm betting your ballot will either be rejected, or you will be contacted by your county elections department because the Ballot ID#does not match the Ballot ID#generated for your Voter ID#. I can think of no other reason for a Ballot ID#. If you can, please let me know.

What will be hard to miss at the Olympics are the logos of some of our nation's best-known companies, which remind us of their shameless kowtowing to Beijing for the sake of their bottom line. A new, comprehensive report by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, titled "Corporate Complicity Scorecard," reveals what these companies have traded away and how much their Faustian bargain with the CCP has endangered all of us. https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/08/report-shows-how-top-u-s-companies-endanger-the-world-by-transferring-tech-to-china/ 2/12 2/10/22, 10:25 AM Report:Top U.S.Companies Endanger World By Giving Tech To China The report, produced jointly by VOC and Horizon Advisory, evaluates eight well- known American corporations — Amazon, Apple, Dell, Facebook, GE, Google, Intel, and Microsoft. It presents "broad-ranging assessments of the nature of American corporations' involvement in China" based on a set of indicators, including compliance with Chinese data regimes and supply chain exposure to forced labor risk. The report assigns a letter grade between A to F to the companies, with Facebook and Google receiving the highest score of "B," while GE, Intel, and Microsoft got the lowest score of "F." According to the VOC report, these American companies' complicity endangers everyone else for several reasons. It exposes U.S. industrial supply chains to China's forced labor and other human rights atrocities. It empowers a strategic competitor while hollowing out U.S. industrial capacity. It also makes U.S. industry a conduit for the Chinese government's vast information collection (i.e., surveillance programs). Lastly, it makes U.S. industry a channel for Chinese influence and pro- paganda abroad. All eight companies' complicity is also endangering their long-term survival because through the "Made in China 2025" initiative, the Chinese government has been developing domestic competitors, intending to become "self-reliant" in strategically essential technologies. Shockingly, these American companies seem to fail to recognize that their technology transfers and billions of dollar investment in China will end up creating their own eventual replacements in this market. Furthermore, some of these companies have engaged "in political lobbying in the U.S. in ways that ultimately serves Beijing's interests while potentially undermining the values and principles that undergird the western democratic order." https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/08/report-shows-how-top-u-s-companies-endanger-the-world-by-transferring-tech-to-china/ 3/12 2/10/22, 10:25 AM Report:Top U.S.Companies Endanger World By Giving Tech To China Intel Gets an 'F' Intel sent a letter earlier this year to suppliers advising them not to source from Xinjiang, without mentioning either forced labor or genocide committed by the CCP against Uyghur Muslims and other minorities in the region. Still, the company promptly apologized to China after its letter drew backlash from state media and Chinese nationalists. The VOC report provides insights into Intel's engagement in China. The company has a prominent presence in the country, including 17 campuses, at least two production sites, and "a series of innovation and R&D centers across China." The company has built extensive ties to Chinese government agencies. For instance, the company has partnered with the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation (CASIA), a "core contributor to China's military and military-civil fusion programs. Intel also collaborated with China's Ministry of Industry and Information (MIIT), a "leading state entity charged with implementing China's military-civil fusion national strategy." The report finds "Intel executives continue to engage with MIIT representatives in fields relevant to military-civil fusion, even as tensions between the US government and China escalate and risks posed by Beijing's military-civil fusion strategy become more evident." https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/08/report-shows-how-top-u-s-companies-endanger-the-world-by-transferring-tech-to-china/ 4/12 2/10/22, 10:25 AM Report:Top U.S.Companies Endanger World By Giving Tech To China Intel's partnership with Chinese companies is also problematic. The company is a long-time major supplier to Hikvision, a Chinese state-owned manufacturer and supplier of surveillance equipment. The two companies launched a comprehensive partnership in artificial intelligence in 2017. After the Trump administration added Hikvision to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Entity List and barred it from buying restricted components from the United States in 2019, former Intel Chief Executive Officer Bob Swan reportedly vowed to use "Intel's global operating capabilities to reduce the impact on customers." Later that year, several U.S. technology firms, including Intel and Microsoft, issued a joint statement "calling for then-President Trump not to impose tariffs on Chinese laptops and tablets." The VOC report also finds that "Intel technology was being used in surveillance systems in Xinjiang" and "Intel had invested in and provided technologies to a company embedded in Xinjiang and supported by the Chinese Ministry of Public Security." Intel essentially plays a critical role in enabling the Chinese government to build a digital prison in Xinjiang and monitor every move by millions of Uyghur Muslims. Microsoft Also Gets an 'F' https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/08/report-shows-how-top-u-s-companies-endanger-the-world-by-transferring-tech-to-china/ 5/12 2/10/22, 10:25 AM Report:Top U.S.Companies Endanger World By Giving Tech To China Microsoft also received a grade of "F." The VOC report finds that "Microsoft has a significant, and growing, network of innovation centers, data centers, joint laboratories, and other technology hubs in China. Many of these have been established in partnership with the Chinese government or government-tied entities." For example, Microsoft has built at least 10 data centers in China, all operated by a local Chinese partner, 21Vianet. In compliance with China's.data security laws, all data collected at these centers are accessible to the Chinese government. Microsoft has also partnered with Chinese companies to tailor its products to meet the Chinese government's needs. A 2021 report from Top10VPN found that many Chinese government surveillance and censorship organs "use Windows products in their security and surveillance systems." Like Intel, Microsoft has established strategic cooperation agreements with Chinese companies that "the US government has identified as tied to the Chinese military or as an export restriction concern." For example, one of Microsoft's strategic partners is Dajing Innovations (DJI), a leader in civilian drones and imaging technology. The Trump administration put DJI on the Department of Commerce's sanctioned Entity List in 2020. Microsoft has yet to sever its business ties with DJI. At least three Chinese suppliers of Microsoft were found to involve forced labor in Xinjiang. However, Microsoft has maintained business relationships with these suppliers. In addition, the company continues to invest in R&D in China "even as tensions between the US and China escalate—and Beijing's technological ambitions have become broadly recognized as posing risks for global human rights and security." Why GE Received an `F' https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/08/report-shows-how-top-u-s-companies-endanger-the-world-by-transferring-tech-to-china/ 6/12 2/10/22, 10:25 AM Report:Top U.S.Companies Endanger World By Giving Tech To China GE is the third company that receives an "F." Similar to Intel and Microsoft, GE's many partnerships in China "appear to involve technology-sharing, including with core players in China's military, military-civil fusion, and surveillance system. Those partnerships have also granted military-tied Chinese players positions of leverage in GE's supply chains, critical to both America's national security and its manufac- turing base." Since GE is also a keycontractor for the U.S. Department of Defense, these p partnerships and technology-sharing agreements are especially troubling. Losing Strategy The VOC report gave the other five companies slightly better scores than "F." But make no mistake, all of these companies have similarly "supported Beijing's military modernization, the surveillance state, and human rights violations in exchange for access to China's market." As the great power competition between the U.S. and China intensifies, corporations cannot pretend this is business as usual. Whether they like it or not, corporations are increasingly at the center of the Sino-U.S. geopolitical conflict. These American companies should never forget what made them successful in the first place. In the words of former Attorney General William Barr, American companies are beneficiaries of "the American free enterprise system, the rule of law, and the security afforded by America's economic, technological, and military strength." China's authoritarian regime is not a "hospitable one for institutions that depend on free markets, free trade, or the free exchange of ideas," Barr said. The VOC scorecard reminds these American companies that acquiescing to Beijing is a lose-lose strategy and will endanger all of us in the long run. https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/08/report-shows-how-top-u-s-companies-endanger-the-world-by-transferring-tech-to-china/ 7/12 2/10/22, 10:25 AM Report:Top U.S.Companies Endanger World By Giving Tech To China Helen Raleigh, CFA, is an American entrepreneur, writer, and speaker.

In an August email to Interior spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz, New York Times energy and environmental reporter Coral Davenport inquired about an appeal from the administration on leasing. The date of the message, Aug. 16, suggests Davenport was asking about the administration's move to block a federal judge's court order that overturned Biden's ban on oil and gas leases on federal land. "I'm trying to understand what exactly is new — the decision already required the administration to resume leasing," Davenport wrote. "We will not do a story about the appeal — I'm just trying to understand what, beyond the appeal, is substantively new."Schwartz responded with a request that Davenport not write a story at all. More than happy for you to not write," Schwartz wrote. https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/08/emails-show-new-york-times-doing-pr-for-bidens-interior-department-after- harassing-trumps/ tAO "...the centre cannot hold". 1 Help HP LaserJet M605 Page 1 Home Screen The default control panel screen on the product contains the following menu items: • Retrieve Job • Supplies Status • Administration • Device Maintenance Retrieve from USB This product features walk-up USB printing, so you can quickly print files without sending them from a computer The product accepts standard USB storage accessories in the USB port on the front of the product.
