How the Dept. of Health Skewed Data During the Plandemic
A research paper was published on October 15 that calls out the Washington Department of Health (DOH) for significant data quality issues, and showing that DOH data should not have been used to guide policies during the pandemic.
The article, Evaluating Data Integrity and Reporting Challenges in Public Health: Lessons from COVID-19 Data Collection in Washington State, was written by Clifford Knopik, a computer scientist specializing in data and analysis. He approached the Institute of Pure and Applied Knowledge (IPAK) to get the word out. The article was peer-reviewed and published in the journal Science, Public Health Policy and the Law.
Summarizing the paper, Mr. Knopik said that the “Washington State Department of Health's (WA DOH) COVID-19 data had significant errors, rendering it unreliable for use in decision-making and visualizations.”
Six types of data errors were found that undermined the entire dataset's credibility:
Five different types of data were misclassified as the "Symptom Onset Date," which misled both Governor Inslee and the public in evaluating the pandemic's status.
This misclassification caused inaccurate representations of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
Probable COVID cases were incorrectly classified as confirmed cases, further distorting the charts and graphs.
WA DOH labs used PCR tests at cycle thresholds that were high enough to potentially produce false positive results.
Unknown data was included in WA DOH's charts:
97% of unknown cases came from labs outside WA DOH's oversight, making it impossible to verify whether the tests were accurate, false positives, or duplicates.
50% of the Symptom Onset Date information displayed in charts was missing, with the remaining half filled by incorrect date classifications.
In comparisons of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated individuals, the data for the unvaccinated was skewed higher because WA DOH included months before vaccines were widely available (February to mid-April 2021).
The paper provides citations and examples to demonstrate that:
At least 97% of the COVID data collected by WA DOH was unreliable and unfit to be used for graphs, and to inform the public and decision makers.
The errors skewed in the direction to make cases appear worse and to make unvaccinated numbers appear worse.
This paper helps explain why Washington was different from other states, consistently promoting data that favored DOH policies and claims, especially now that it has been widely acknowledged that the vaccine never worked as promised, and that restrictive measures were ineffective. Israel is one such country where the admission came in 2022. This quote from Ehud Qimron, a leading Isreali immunologist, sums up their country’s outcome and should make everyone question any of the Washington DOH claims:
Two years late, you finally realize that a respiratory virus cannot be defeated and that any such attempt is doomed to fail. You do not admit it, because you have admitted almost no mistake in the last two years, but in retrospect, it is clear that you have failed miserably in almost all of your actions, and even the media is already having a hard time covering your shame.
Water Fluoride Levels by County in Washington
Last week, the Washington Department of Health (DOH) responded to a data request for water fluoridation levels for each county. Given the August release of a National Toxicology Program report, and a September Federal Court decision, it was high time to push the Department of Health on the state of water fluoridation in Washington.
It might have been nice to review fluoridation by city since each utility or district can choose to fluoridate. However, Washington is one of ten states that do not participate in the My Water’s Fluoride national data reporting program run by the CDC, or this data request would not have been necessary.
As often noted by our their officials, the DOH currently has little to do with water fluoridation decisions by local utilities. But WAC 246-290-460 Fluoridation of Drinking Water does specify that levels that exceed 0.9 milligram per liter (mg/L) must be corrected by a utility. The ‘optimal’ level declared by the DOH is 0.7 mg/L. The EPA, to this point in time, has set a maximum of 4.0 mg/L. That seems likely to change after August publication of a National Toxicology Report, in work since 2016, which has found that levels above 1.5 mg/L is likely to have an adverse impact on children’s IQ.
In a Microsoft Excel file format, the DOH provided 29,358 test result entries going back to 1998. According to this dataset, there have been no recorded samples above 1.5 mg/L since 2017. Good news.
Overall, fluoride levels in water have decreased over time. Looking at all the data, only 19 tests done in a lab were ever above the EPA’s maximum level of 4.0 mg/L, mainly from sources in Adams and Walla Walla counties.
There are some notable gaps or omissions in the data which makes us wonder about how forthcoming the Department was. The following counties have measures recorded only for certain stretches of years.
Clallam County from 1998 to 2020.
Jefferson County from 1998 to 2005.
Yakima County from 1998 to 2000.
Grant County is listed from 2000 to 2005.
Walla Walla County is listed for just 2001.
Kittitas Count is listed for just 2019.
Douglas County is listed from 1998 to 2003.
Okanogan County is listed from 1999 to 2004.
Adams County is listed for 1998 to 2000.
San Juan County is listed only for the years 1998, 2005, and 2006.
Lincoln County is listed for just 2005.
Dr. Bill Osmunson, who has been attending the Washington Board of Health meetings for fourteen years to stop the addition of fluoride to drinking water, noted to us that there is a big difference between the concentration of fluoride from 2008 and 2024 as would be expected.
Osmunson also points out that the difference between lab and onsite (source) test restuls is to be expected. “Testing is not easy and rather subjective depending on the type of testing used,” he says. “It took a significant amount of time and money to get research labs to be reasonably consistent.”
Osmunson then points out the following details about the DOH data:
I could argue that concentration has serious variations between field and lab tests. However, I hate to focus on the technicians or single out a technician trying to get accuracy on a moving target.
For example, water at 0.6 ppm or 0.8 ppm is a large (28%) percentage difference, but not nearly as significant as someone drinking little or no public water or the mean of 1 liter/water or the 90th percentile at 2 liters of water vs those drinking the most at over 10 liters of water a day.
Said a different way. Dosage is the amount of fluoride a person ingests from all sources and fluoridation dosage is not controlled. Although cities may have as much as 28% difference just between field and lab tests, the difference in the amount of water people drink each day can be over 1,000% above the average person, and that is just water. Medications, dental products, foods high in fluoride such as mechanically deboned meat can add a significant over exposure for individuals.
Osmunson adds that the biggest concern must be for the developing fetus and infant: Their brain, their thyroid, their bones, their teeth and every cell of their body with possible harm to the mitochondria. “Do not use fluoridated water to reconstitute formula for infants,” he says. “Fluoridated water has 175 times more fluoride concentration than mother's milk.” [We corrected a previous statement, which reversed the two fluids, on October 29, 2024.]
As the public demands more information and action on water fluoridation, the Epoch Times published advice on reducing fluoridated water levels at home.
They listed four “most popular” methods:
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are highly effective at removing fluoride and other contaminants from drinking water, filtering out up to 84 percent through a semipermeable membrane. This purification process forces water through the membrane, leaving impurities behind. Fluoride expert Richard Sauerheber told The Epoch Times that modern RO systems can operate for years with minimal maintenance while effectively reducing fluoride levels.
However, RO systems have certain drawbacks. According to Tom Volinchak, author of “Open Tap - Drink Poison,” they can produce up to 17 gallons of wastewater for every gallon of filtered water and remove beneficial minerals, which may need to be reintroduced for taste and health benefits.
Despite these challenges, point-of-use RO systems remain an affordable and attractive option, typically costing under $1,000. They are especially beneficial in areas with higher fluoride contamination. For those seeking more comprehensive filtration, whole-house RO systems can cost upwards of $15,000.
Activated Alumina Filters
Activated alumina filters, such as Berkey’s PF-2, can remove up to 97 percent of fluoride and provide a convenient countertop solution that requires no plumbing or electricity. These filters use aluminum oxide to capture fluoride molecules on their porous surface.
However, there are concerns that small amounts of aluminum may be released into the water, and in alkaline conditions, these filters may leach harmful aluminum-fluoride complexes. Filters must be replaced regularly, typically after 1,000 gallons, and some users report a decline in water quality over time.
It should be noted that aluminum exposure might be of concern for those using activated alumina filters.
Bone Char Filters
Bone char is another distinct option for filtering fluoride from drinking water. Made from crushed animal bones heated in a kiln under low-oxygen conditions, bone char naturally absorbs fluoride and other contaminants, such as heavy metals, making it an effective filtration tool. Bone char’s ability to trap fluoride raises an important question: If animal bones can absorb fluoride so effectively, what impact might fluoride have on the bones in our own bodies?
Research shows that 99 percent of fluoride lives in bones. A 2023 study in JAAOS Global Research & Reviews found that children living in areas with higher fluoride levels in drinking water experienced more bone fractures, especially in the arm and elbow.
Bone char filters work through adsorption, where fluoride molecules adhere to the surface of the char as water passes through. However, its filtration lifespan can be unpredictable, varying with fluoride levels, and requires regular monitoring and replacement.
Sauerheber cautions that the quality of bone char varies by source—char from Scotland is known to be highly effective but harder to find, while Brazilian char may be less reliable. This variability makes reverse osmosis a more consistent option for most households.
Ion Exchange Systems
Ion exchange systems use resin beads to replace fluoride ions with less harmful ions, such as chloride, effectively lowering fluoride levels. However, these systems come with environmental concerns—plastic resin beads contribute to plastic waste, and aging filters may release microplastics or concentrated fluoride.
Frequent filter replacements make ion exchange systems expensive, particularly in regions with high fluoride levels. Additionally, the environmental impact raises sustainability concerns for many households, said Volinchak.
Long COVID-19 Fatigue in Washington Following the Shot Rollout
On October 16, Dr. Peter McCullough published an article titled, “Long-COVID-19 Fatigue Skyrockets Among Danish Residents after Vaccines Rolled Out.”
McCullough was writing about a study published October 7, 2024 as a JAMA online article:
O’Regan et al reported on 50,115 Danish residents April 2021 to February 2023. Trading Economics reported to date that 255.75 vaccine doses have been administered per 100 Danes. The author’s concurred: “Most participants were vaccinated with at least 2 doses (21 164 test negative participants [85.1%] and 22 120 test-positive participants [87.6%]) before their SARS-CoV-2 index test.” About a quarter of the population reported post-exertional malaise/fatigue, and it was worse for vaccinated who suffered vaccine failure and infection particularly hospitalization.
Graphing the observations for those with severe conditions, fatigue was worse for those who were vaccinated or who suffered vaccine failure.
Dr. McCullough then drew the following conclusions and provided a potential solution:
The bottom line is that vaccination has ruined the general vitality of about 25% of the population as reflected in this study. To add insult to injury, the vaccines failed to protect against COVID-19, thus infection and hospitalization has intensified chronic constitutional symptoms. In my practice experience, most patients slowly improve with McCullough Protocol Base Spike Detoxification. I expect most in this study would resolve their symptoms with about 12 months of treatment.
The ICWA Weekly News has explored Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) data for many things by now. We didn’t expect a need to search for ‘fatigue’ and the results were equally surprising.
VAERS data from the CDC show 209,016 cases of fatigue following the COVID-19 shots!
Here in Washington, 3,345 of these fatigue cases have been reported to VAERS, with approximately the same age breakdown as for cases nationwide.
Notice from above that McCullough had reported that post-exertional malaise/fatigue “was worse for vaccinated who suffered vaccine failure and infection particularly hospitalization.”
To explore more about what it means to have unusual malaise or fatigue, we list examples of VAERS write-ups from here in Washington for those with onset at least three months after getting a jab:
Onset began 366 days after the shot: Disrupted menstrual cycle (missed 2 cycles with mild spotting in between and irregular cycle persisting for 10 months following). Extreme fatigue, disruptive to life. Decrease in physical abilities from regular active lifestyle that included running to struggling with mobility around house due to severity of fatigue. Breathlessness/shortness of breath. Abnormal heart rhythms, tachycardia and bigeminy. Chest pressure and pain. Menstrual cycle was eventually normalized but fatigue, heart rhythm abnormalities and fatigue still persist to present.
Onset began 306 days after the shot and the patient died on the same day as the onset: Decline in wellbeing. Decline in health status. Extreme fatigue. Unexplained weight gain. Difficulty breathing during activity. High blood pressure Pain in leg(s). Numbness and tingling. Reduced range of motion Shortness of breath Death.
Onset began 310 days after the shot: I did not have an adverse reaction to the vaccine. I tested positive for COVID-19 with a home test on 08/08/2022. I had severe fatigue, difficulty in breathing, fluid on lungs and minor pneumonia. I went to an urgent care center because I had low oxygen levels, and they sent me to an emergency room. I did not have a blood clot as they thought I did but I did have pneumonia. I was sick for a month. As of today, I continue to have fatigue.
Onset began 105 days after taking the shot: I had cough, low fever, sinus congestion, running nose, dizzy, anxious feeling, and fatigue. I talked to a doctor for reassurance. I went to a center to get tested and a couple days later I got notified that I was positive for COVID-19. I was sleeping 12 hours of the day.
Onset began 140 days after taking the shot: The first day that I had symptoms, I was really tired. I didn’t want to eat. I wasn’t able to go on a hike with my family. That Saturday I stayed in bed a lot. I tested that Sunday and got a positive result. I went to urgent care that day and I got Paxlovid and took that for five days. I also took Advil for some achiness. I didn’t have a fever. I was hot and cold though. I continued that symptom for a bit. I do still have some lingering fatigue. I have been taking naps and I have never been a "napper" in my life. I also still don’t have an appetite.
Onset began 171 days after taking the shot: I tested positive for COVID-19 on 03/12/2023. I took Paxlovid medication prescribed by my doctor. for one day only because it made me sicker. I got really tired and exhausted, flu like symptoms. My symptoms lasted about ten days. I tested negative ten days afterwards.
Onset began 428 days after taking the shot: 4/15/22 I had shortness of breath. I had a positive COVID test. I went to the emergency room on 4/17/22. I had lab work, chest x-ray and a positive COVID test. I was given steroids and albuterol. On 4/24/22 I had to go back to the Emergency Room. I was sick until the end of May. The only symptoms I ever had was shortness of breath and fatigue. I also had some mild GI symptoms.
Onset began 751 days after taking the shot: Fatigue and chest tightness during exercise after vaccination Myocarditis, cardiomyopathy.
Onset began 173 days after taking the shot: Severe stroke. I spent four days in the hospital. I’m very tired all the time. I can’t concentrate on things and can’t remember anything. My right eye is droopy.
Onset began 186 days after taking the shot: 03/27/2023, I noticed my stomach was queasy, I had headache, general body aches. The next morning my body aches were really bad. I decided to use one of my COVID-19 home test and the results were positive. 03/28/2023 I had a telehealth visit with a clinic. We went over my symptoms and because I was COVID-19 positive. They prescribed Paxlovid. My symptoms gradually got better. My symptoms lasted for about 10 days. As of today, 05/02/2023, I still have a pretty extreme fatigue.
Onset began 187 days after taking the shot: A had loss of smell, congested and sneezing. After I tested positive. I had severe chest congestion, stomach problems like no appetite, diarrhea, severe fatigue and muscle pain. Body aches, chills. I called her and I was on Paxlovid, and I still am having symptoms like tired and digestive issues, and today I have a headache and still having cough.
We noticed that, based on the first-person language, that most of the long-term fatigue reports were submitted by individuals rather than health providers. It is estimated that 75-80% of VAERS reports are submitted by providers, but perhaps they don’t want to submit reports so long after a patient receives a jab.
Multiple King County fire departments are sued by fired workers
David Schexnaydre and Brian Ward have filed another lawsuit in Washington, this time on behalf of thirteen plaintiffs who were fired for not taking an investigational drug for COVID-19. (CovidPenalty complaint). Defendents are Eastside Fire & Rescue, King County Fire Protection District No. 10, King County Fire Protection District No. 38, the City of Issaquah, the City of North Bend, City of Sammamish, and many of those leading the departments at the time of the firings.
We are always encouraged by employees who are able to find representation and sue their former employers for pandemic wrong-doings. But we are also saddended that justice for this obvious discriminatory wrong has taken so long.

DOH News Release: First presumed human infections of avian influenza under investigation in Washington state
In a Oct. 20 News Release from the Department of Health, four egg farm workers have flu like symptoms. But have no fear: their specimens were shipped to the CDC to verify that their mild cold is, in fact, some kind of bird flu. And we also don’t have to worry at all about the 800,000 chickens they worked with; they were euthanized on Oct. 15.
We hope you are weathering the presumptive flu season well. If you do have a cold, please don’t feel the need to get tested. You’ll be playing into the customer acquisition process led by mainstream medical clinics and the DoH, who so desperately want to have a bird flu epidemic here in your state - the home of the first COVID case and death in 2020.
Please remember to knock down your cold with all the great benefits and zero side effects of natural remedies featured on Healthy Immunity Now.org. Take the EFU Challenge to treat yourself before you get a cold.
