Washington Department of Health Pours on the Marketing of Chemicals
As hard as it is to believe that the revival of the Care-a-Van reported in last week’s ICWA Weekly News actually happened, the Washington Department of Health (DOH) has even further stepped up its vaccination marketing campaign this past week with reward stickers and other goodies. Here’s their notice to healthcare providers:
Washington health care professionals can once again order printed materials in English and Spanish, including free stickers, posters, discussion guides, and other items to educate patients and promote immunizations. Items will be shipped directly at no cost to those who place an order.
As a trusted health care provider, you continue to play a vital role in improving vaccination rates across Washington. Through our continued collaboration, we look forward to educating and empowering Washingtonians by providing them with accurate and up-to-date information about vaccines.
Here are some of the stickers that taxpayers are funding for the DOH to produce and deliver:
Try to keep your composure when you see this next one:
Get them while they last!
Excuse the fuzzy graphics; we are only trying to respect the copyright of these valuable resources so you don’t go printing off your own. Tell us in the comments what kind of sticker you’d create for DOH to market these products.
Again, at no cost, the DOH issues to healthcare providers a script for how to convince patients to take the COVID-19 shots:
But hang on. This gets even worse. The DOH is showing so much confidence in its approaches to selling vaccines that its now applying them to community water fluoridation - a chemical additive touted as a health treatment. Even though the Department of Health has not yet completed its science review of safety signals concerning fluoridation, the DOH is issuing guides to healthcare providers titled, “Lessons Learned from Vaccination to Apply To Fluoride Conversations.”
Addressing Fluoride Hesitancy Using Immunization Approaches
ICWA would like to know which "conspiracy theories" the DOH is referring to in the blue bubble on the left-hand side of its Venn diagram.
Bellingham City Workers File Case in Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
Last June 13, 2024, eighteen former Bellingham City workers filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington, for a jury trial against the city and Mayor Seth Fleetwood, who has been listed as the final policy maker, for terminating their employment upon refusal to take the COVID-19 shots.
(ICWA covered the complaint 6-19-24.)
Point two in the complaint sums up the situation quite well:
When Plaintiffs exercised their fundamental rights to refuse an investigational drug and to refuse unwanted medical treatment and, thus, refused to comply with the Order, they were terminated from employment, resulting in financial, emotional, and legal injuries.
Point three in the complaint says that, among the plaintiffs, the first to be fired were firemen and firefighting truck mechanics on October 18, 2021, followed by the remainder of plaintiffs on December 3, 2021, or later.
As with all other similar cases here in Washington, the judge dismissed the initial case without addressing the main elements of the complaint. But on May 2, the plaintiffs appealed the case to the Ninth Circuit.
The case is Michael Brock, et al, v. City of Bellingham and Mayor Seth Fleetwood. The filing first discusses the fire department work done by the plaintiffs:
Plaintiffs were dedicated public employees of the City of Bellingham (“Bellingham”), serving in critical roles such as EMS Captain, Fleet Manager, Senior Inspector, EMTs, Police Officers, Level 3 Mechanic, and Wastewater Collection Supervisor. These individuals took pride in their service, contributing to the safety and well-being of their community while raising their families alongside their neighbors.
The filing discusses the basis of their overall complaint alleging (and we agree) the unjust harms:
Plaintiffs were exemplary employees until Mayor Seth Fleetwood and Bellingham established a COVID-19 vaccination requirement (“Policy”) (ER-207) mandating Plaintiffs to participate in the federally funded CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Program (“CDC Program”) and being injected with one of the unlicensed drugs, as a condition of continued public employment. This Policy effectively required Plaintiffs to become human subjects in federally funded research, disclose private health information, be injected with unlicensed investigational drugs, waive equal protection and due process rights, including the right to seek legal recourse for injuries caused by the CDC Program or its drugs, and consent to ongoing monitoring and data collection relating to their interaction with the Program and its drugs by unspecified entities for undisclosed purposes and durations.
When Plaintiffs declined to participate in the CDC Program, citing conditions akin to a contract of adhesion, Mayor Fleetwood and the City of Bellingham subjected them to harassment, segregation, demotion, termination, and other burdens not imposed on employees choosing the equal option to accept.
The filing naturally discusses the plaintiffs grounds for filing the appeal:
Appellants filed suit against Defendants for causes of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of their Fourteenth Amendment rights under the CDC Program, including the right to refuse unwanted investigational drugs, and state common law claims for wrongful termination. The district court dismissed these claims on the basis that at least one drug, Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, was not investigational, unlicensed, or unapproved, and thus implied that the legal conditions alleged by Plaintiffs were not applicable to Defendants’ Policy.
The filing contains an explanation of why the Bellingham workers disagree with the district court judge’s dismissal of the case:
The district court improperly exercised Article II powers by ignoring judicially noticeable documents from the Health and Human Services Secretary (“Secretary”) that the drug was, at all times material, unlicensed, classified as investigational new drugs, and subject to the legal standard known as legally effective informed consent.
The district court acknowledged that the drug was authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Still, the district court claimed that the drug was no longer under the statute’s informed consent requirements, undermining its own ruling that Pfizer’s investigational drug was licensed and approved, as a drug cannot be licensed for its intended use under an EUA. (ER-11) The district court violated the Separation of Powers doctrine when assigning the licensed status of COMIRNATY® to Pfizer’s legally distinct drug, Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, which operates under investigational new drug application 19736, a ruling that constitutes reversible error.
Furthermore, in dismissing the claims under Rule 12(b)(6), the district court improperly relied on extrinsic documents and judicial notice of other court rulings presented by Defendants, thus accepting only Defendants’ version of the facts as true, which facts directly contradict the Executive Branch that contravenes this Court’s precedent, which holds that “a court cannot take judicial notice of disputed facts contained in such public records.” Khoja v. Orexigen Therapeutics, Inc., 899 F.3d 988 (9th Cir. 2018).
The lawyer representing the Bellingham workers is David Schexnaydre, who is advised by legal researcher Brian Ward. They have multiple lawsuits in Washington State courts to stop abuse of EUA. Their efforts to appear in front of federal court judges is costly. All funding for this team is handled through CovidPenalty.com and we respectfully ask you to support them by donating.
Death Rates in Washington Following Pfizer versus Moderna COVID-19 Shots
Last Tuesday, May 6, Nicolas Hulscher followed up on his April 29 article in his Focal Points Substack on a study of 1.47 million Florida adults by MIT’s Retsef Levi and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo that found 37% higher all-cause, cardiovascular, and COVID-19 mortality after Pfizer vaccination, as compared to Moderna.
Hulscher wrote in his follow-up story that Steve Kirsch conducted further analysis of the study’s findings, plausibly extrapolating a conservative estimate of 470,000 American deaths from the Pfizer mRNA shots alone.
Here’s how the estimate was calculated:
Key Assumptions:
An estimated 250 million Americans received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose
Of those, 60% received the Pfizer vaccine → 150 million people
The baseline annual all-cause mortality rate in the U.S. is approximately 0.87% (pre-COVID average)
→ So the expected annual deaths among 150 million Pfizer recipients would be:
150M × 0.0087 = 1.305 million deathsNow apply the study’s reported 36% increase in non-COVID all-cause mortality (NCACM) among Pfizer recipients (vs. Moderna):
1.305M × 0.36 = ~470,000 excess deaths
This translates to roughly 1 death per 636 doses administered, or a Pfizer vDFR (vaccine dose fatality rate) of 0.157%. As Steve pointed out, this figure corroborates a study by Redert, who found an average COVID-19 vaccine DFR of ~0.15% across 17 European countries.
We note that Steve Kirsch is conservatively using a 36% increase, rather than the larger 37% that headlined the original article.
Hulscher also wrote the following:
It’s important to note that the 36% increase in non-COVID all-cause mortality is compared to another extraordinarily dangerous mRNA injection. Thus, the estimate of 470,000 American deaths is highly conservative, as the true increase in mortality compared to being unvaccinated is likely much higher.
This also means that the VAERS extrapolation of over 600,000 U.S. COVID-19 vaccine deaths is not only highly plausible, but a conservative estimate as well. The deadly COVID-19 mRNA injections, still being administered to millions of American children, are responsible for more American casualties than World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined.
The VAERS reports for Covid shot deaths in Washington show an even greater difference than the study performed by Levi and Ladapo. In Washington, with 134 deaths following the Pfizer shots, and 87 deaths after Moderna jabs, Washington then sees a 54% higher death rate.
But this simple VAERS query analysis would need to be adjusted for the number of shots given for each brand. Overall, more Pfizer shots were administered than of Moderna in most regions of the U.S.
(See also ICWA Weekly News 7-24-24 for coverage of Steve Kirsch’s comparison among the shot types).
Menstrual Adverse Events Following Flu Shots in Washington
Eleven months ago, ICWA Weekly News reported on 119 menstrual adverse events following the COVID-19 shots in Washington.
During the “Jaxen Report” segment of The Highwire, they brought up menstrual irregularities following influenza vaccines, in addition to the COVID shots.
Jefferey and Del talked about the following paper from the JAMA Network for menstrual cases following the flu jabs:
Menstrual Cycle Length Changes Following Vaccination Against Influenza Alone or With COVID-19
Results were summarized as follows:
Individuals vaccinated for influenza alone experienced a mean increase of 0.40 (95% CI, 0.08-0.72) days, while those vaccinated concurrently for influenza and COVID-19 experienced a mean increase of 0.49 (95% CI, 0.16-0.83) days (P = .69 for difference between vaccine groups).
On a relative basis, that’s a 22.5% increase when adding COVID shots to the injected products. But the p-value of .69 is rather large (as compared to the preferred .001 or smaller), which indicates that the results could more random than scientists would want to draw definitive conclusions.
This result remains alarming with VAERS possibly only capturing one percent of adverse events, especially for something so personal as menstrual irregularities.
Of those adverse events significant enough to be captured in VAERS, twenty-nine such cases of menstrual irregularities after flu shots were reported from the United States and its territories, indicating that it is something for which doctors and vaccine recipients should look.
Three of those menstrual adverse events have occurred in Washington:
VAERS ID: 796729. Beginning of submitted write-up for this 47-year-old female: I received the flu vax on 11/26/18 (my company was sending notices if I didn’t get the vax by 11/30, I would not be able to work). The injection was administered in the right deltoid. The next morning 11/27, I woke up and had a very difficult time moving out of bed due to low right back pain that had not been there when I went to bed on 11/26. I stood up and pain was also in right mid buttock, making it difficult to walk with a normal gait (I was limping); I was quite alarmed. I used the bathroom, my menstrual cycle started. It was extremely painful to even clean myself after using the bathroom. My body felt very swollen, especially at injection sight (I am aware swelling at injection sight is normal) and across my entire abdomen, both buttocks, hips and both thighs. I felt as if I had lost control over my abdominal/trunk muscles. I felt stiff all over. As the day went on, the pain in my right buttock seemed to shoot around the front to my anterior hip, down the front and side of my right thigh to my knee as well as my anterior lower leg to ankle. I could not lift my right leg to dress or undress myself due to weakness and shooting pain. The pain was so intense at times I felt nauseated. I was unable to lie flat on my back or stomach because the pain intensity from my anterior right hip to my knee. I was unable to stand up straight or in one position more than 30seconds before feeling the need to sit or somehow shift my weight to attempt alleviation of the pain intensity. I also found myself walking with a stooped posture.
VAERS ID: 2622399. Submitted write-up for this 47-year-old female after taking both the COVID-19 bivalent and flu shots: I had the vaccination on 10/23/2022. On 11/23/2022 I started to experience body aches fever diarrhea and headache. I tested COVID-19 Positive on 11/23/2022. I think I have mostly recovered but I still have irregular periods since. I did have experience of heavy menstrual and anal bleeding on 11/26/2022. I was 2 weeks earlier than my regular cycle. I had an emergency colonoscopy in 11/2022. I did have some polyps. I was tested being anemic during this time.
VAERS ID: 2700888. Onset for this 24-year-old female began the same day after taking the COVID-19 and flu shots on October 21, 2023. Submitted write-up: Irregular period/breakthrough bleeding, cramps, bloating, high fever, high heart rate, muscle aches and pain, nausea, headache.
