Dear Board of Health,
My comment is about recent statements made by Health Officer Berry.
I appreciated her telling Commissioners on Monday about the originalPfizer trials showing 15 all-cause deaths from those gettingvaccinated exceeding the 14 all-cause deaths from the control group.
She then went on to soft-peddle the number of deaths, saying "inthose early trials ... they were vaccinating very, very elderly people."
That's actually not true. In fact, there were only about 800 people75 years and older (4.4%) in each of the two 18,000 size subject groups.https://labeling.pfizer.com/ShowLabeling.aspx?id=14471 [see table 9]
Peter Doshi has commented that "frail elderly people ... are notenrolled into vaccine trials in sufficient numbers":https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4037
...and a JAMA study found older people have disproportionately been
excluded from covid trials in general:https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2771091
More importantly, Dr. Berry apparently doesn't know about the July
28 FDA data update, which showed "Pfizer somehow miscounted - orpublicly misreported, or both - the number of deaths in one of themost important clinical trials in the history of medicine." In factthe FDA is now showing that were 21 all-cause deaths among the trialjabbed compared to 17 in the control group, which is 24% more deathsin 6 months.https://www.fda.gov/media/151733/download [see page 23]

The fact that significantly more people died in the vaccinated group
than the control group should be raising major red flags.
I also wish to draw your attention to two troubling quotes from yourHealth Officer in last Thursday's Peninsula Daily News. The storynoted that "Many parents have said their children experience mentalhealth crises while wearing a mask, according to nationalreports." Dr. Berry gaslighted and discounted the authenticexperiences of these many parents by curtly claiming, "There is nodata for this."https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/regions-health-officer-warns-of-lifting-mask-mandates-too-soon/
She continued blaming parents by saying, "What is challenging for
students is the position that they are put in when they see themisbehavior of their parents. When we see them put in a positionwhere their parents are encouraging them not to wear masks and theirteachers are saying they have to, that's a really difficult position for kids."
Yes, the whole situation is difficult for kids and everyone involved,but Berry sees the whole problem as one of parental misbehavior,guilty of the crime of having different deeply-held beliefs than thebureaucrats who created this situation.
