Washington State Immunization Summit - Latest Confab Promotes Subtler Vaccination Coercion Techniques that Bypass Informed Consent
For the May 25, 2023 Washington State Immunization Summit, the Greater Tacoma Convention Center was filled with representatives from minority groups, hospitals, and most conspicuous of all, the following billing of sponsors:

Referring to WANP sponsorship of the meeting, ICWA President Bernadette Pajer says,
“As an organization, WANP has pushed for legislation to expand their prescriptive authority for all drugs, and they supported the rollout of the experimental COVID-19 shots without a word of caution or concern or natural alternative, which seems a contradiction to naturopathy. If they supported natural and nutrient treatments, or alternative early treatment protocols or naturally acquired immunity, they certainly were not vocal about it. The organization also seeks to profit from WA’s new law which makes the state a medical “sanctuary” for minors to receive potentially life-altering allopathic medical interventions without parental knowledge or consent.”
The summit listed the following aims:
· Provide tools, skills and knowledge to be successful in equitably improving vaccination rates
· Celebrate and highlight the work of the immunization community
· Share lessons learned and experiences through the COVID-19 pandemic
· Provide an opportunity to learn about emerging and ongoing immunization best practices to apply to diverse communities
Those “diverse communities” amounts to targeted marketing to such groups as Muslim, Mexican, African-American, and native tribes, who were well represented at the meeting.
The first aim listed above was the main focus of the summit. Dr. Gretchen LaSalle, the newest member of the Vaccine Advisory Committee,” said during her presentation, “Vaccines are my passion.”
Dr. LaSalle then discussed the following advisory techniques for healthcare providers to follow for increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates:
Presumptive Approach instead of the Participatory Approach: The presumptive approach is the attitude for the healthcare provider to presume the patient or parent is going to go along with getting the vaccine whereas the participatory approach is to distinctly ask whether the patient wants the vaccine. “It’s time for your flu and Covid shots, the nurse will be right in with those.”
The Bundled instead of Unbundled Approach: It’s best to suggest to the patient or parent that, besides the shots that are due, the COVID-19 shot is also available.
A “3A” approach: Ask about concerns, Acknowledge the concerns, and then Advise.
Healthcare providers should tell their patients that they, themselves, and their family members have taken the COVID-19 shots.
Dr. LaSalle had also appeared at the August 26, 2022 Washington State Medical Association meeting for the Power of Providers program.
At that meeting, she used the following slides to make the same talking points:
ICWA staunchly opposes any form of coercion and undue influence. Such approaches are not only unethical, they violate federal regulations and several human rights declarations.

The agenda for the meeting is as follows:
Two Washington Deaths Following COVID-19 Shots Reported in May
The Vaccine Adverse Event Report System (VAERS) of the Center’s for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC) has recorded two more deaths in Washington following the COVID-19 shot, raising the total in the state to 219 deaths. As of May 26, 2023, VAERS has recorded 35,272 such deaths in the United States and its territories. As always, recall that VAERS suffers from severe underreporting and reports viewable to the public are not updated, even when worsening symptoms are reported in followup reports.
Both reports mention improper storage of the Moderna shots.
The first of those two cases was reported on May 9 of a twenty-seven-year-old male.
VAERS ID:
The submitted write-up begins with the improper storage issue:
Accidental improper storage of vaccine leading to temperature excursion prior to vaccine administration. In light of this, patient elected to receive additional dose of Moderna vaccine on Feb 1, 2022.
On March 6, 2022, he was admitted to the hospital with infective endocarditis complicated by aortic and mitral valve failure and septic cerebral infarcts. On March 19, 2022, he passed away.
Nothing is listed on the report under preexisting conditions. Nevertheless, the rest of the report mentions that he had risk factors for endocarditis as and offers the opinion that improper storage or the second shot itself was not the cause of death:
He had risk factors for developing endocarditis, and we don’t believe there is an association between the improperly stored vaccine or revaccination.
The second case was reported on May 16 of a fifty-six-year-old male.
VAERS ID:
The submitted write-up begins by mentioning not only the improper storage of the Moderna shot but also the timing of the second shot:
Two known adverse events from vaccine administration: 1. Accidental improper storage of vaccine leading to temperature excursion prior to vaccine administration. 2. Second dose was administered too early (22 days, instead of 30 days after 1st dose). Dose 1 - 8/9/21 Moderna lot 040B21A Dose 2 - 8/31/21 Moderna lot 040B21
A week later, on September 9, 2021, the patient was seen by his primary care physician. Documentation during the visit showed no concerns for the COVID-19 shot or COVID-19. Just thirteen days later (September 22, 2021), the family found the patient deceased in his bed. The rest of the submitted write-up reads as follows:
Death certificate noted the following causes of death: - Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy - Paroxysmal A. Fib - Pulmonary Hypertension
BOH Changes Next Meeting Venue
The next meeting for the Washington Board of Health will be on Wednesday, June 14 and its location has been shifted from the Department of Labor and Industries Building in Tumwater to the Senate Rules Room in the 220 Legislative Building at 416 Sid Snyder Avenue SW in Olympia. The meeting will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
WSBOH-Agenda-2023-06-14-Draft.pdf (wa.gov)
Vaccinations are not listed as an agenda item but will most likely come up during the community engagement update from 10:50 to 11:20 a.m. or during the department of health update from 11:30 a.m. to 12:10 p.m.
The meeting materials will be available on Wednesday, June 7 at the following link:
Meeting Information and Materials | SBOH (wa.gov)
The public comment period will be from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Public comments could address the Department of Health’s (DOH) request to the Office of Financial Management for approximately $35 million dollars spread over five years for rebuilding Washington’s trust in public health. As well, the public could address those topics that the department calls misinformation – if only they’d announce what they consider misinformation.

Restore TRUST to Public Health Info (wa.gov)
Below is the essence of the DOH’s reasoning:
Over the past 6 years misinformation/disinformation has spread rampant throughout the nation. Over the last two years in Washington, DOH saw firsthand the impact of these disinformation campaigns through audience research, ongoing polls, and community feedback. As a result, some people have become more likely to believe something false from a friend or family member than something true from the government, which in some cases, leads to decisions to not access life¬saving public health services.
Those wishing to give oral comments can do so by attending the meeting at the new location mentioned above by writing their names on the sign-up sheet before the start of the public comments period. The board strongly encourages people to sign up in advance by sending an email by noon the day before the meeting to: wsboh@sboh.wa.gov.
Another option for public oral comment is to register for the virtual meeting at the following link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_96Nkx1SIT-ep3o8_jYgkmA
Written public comments to wsboh@sboh.wa.gov are accepted until noon on Friday, June 9. This will ensure that those comments are part of the meeting materials and board members have an opportunity to read and consider your comments before the meeting. Written comments received after 12:00 Noon Friday will be shared with board members; however, board members may not have the capacity to read or review your comments in advance or during the meeting.
One can also dial-in to and listen/observe the meeting using the phone. Call in:

Thank you so much for highlighting Gretchen Lasalle's coercive techniques which are directly opposed to informed consent. I also want to thank you so much for highlighting her place of work at MultiCare Rockwood Quail Run Clinic in Spokane, WA because I feel this is incredibly important based on her specialized training as a medical propagandist and how this has and can continue to effect patient's in Spokane, WA where she works with the public.
I will repost my response that I just left on a post by Silent Majority Foundation where they highlighted her coercive medical propaganda involvement just so other can see two examples of patient experiences where Gretchen Lasalle attempted to use gaslighting, coercion to encourage patient's to receive mRNA treatments, the COVID vaccine and the mRNA flu treatment when they were actually just significantly concerned about the efficacy, necessity and safety of these medical treatments.
'MultiCare Rockwood Quail Run Clinic in Spokane, WA should also be included when ICWA and Silent Majority Foundation highlights Gretchen LaSalle’s choice to be paid to train herself and other doctor’s in coercive techniques. Multicare Rockwood Quail Run Clinic is where Gretchen Lasalle takes local patients and this clinic specifically reschedules patient’s from their Primary Care Providers (without notifying them) with Gretchen Lasalle when they have stated they do not want mRNA medical treatments, COVID vaccines or flu vaccines. I had two people report this to me already.
One instance where someone’s mother (over 70 yrs old) stated that she ‘did not want the COVID vaccine’ when the senior citizen forgot to say that she actually did not want any mRNA treatments. The care provider then knowingly misled the elderly patient into receiving an mRNA based flu shot when the care provider knew that the elderly patient ‘did not want a COVID shot’ by ignoring that the patient did not want the COVID shot because it was an mRNA medical treatment. The elderly patient then received an mRNA based flu shot against her informed consent. Gretchen Lasalle was involved in this.
Gretchen Lasalle also was assigned to a patient at MultiCare Quail Run Clinic who was an RN. Apparently she stated that she was not yet ready to receive the COVID vaccine because of her concern due to there not being longterm studies at that time (beginning of COVID) with large enough sample sizes to show that it was safe for women attempting to become pregnant, during pregnancy, effect on fetus etc (this was right when COVID came out). Gretchen Lasalle definitively told the RN that ‘pregnant women were not safe unless they took the COVID shot and that the shot was safe for the fetus’. The RN said, ‘well I heard about one study that involved pregnant women but the length of the study was very short and the sample size was incredibly small making the study very unreliable, so what was the length of study, the sample sizes, was there a control in this study, what was the method of the study and also were there any conflicts of interest in the study and whom funded the study?’ Gretchen Lasalle was apparently speechless when asked these questions the RN had as a patient. She attempted to deflect by stating that the RN could look it up on the CDC website and the RN responded, ‘No, if you’re reassigned to me as a doctor when I made an appointment with my PCP and not you and you are going to tell me that a new vaccine based on experimental new medical technology is safe I completely expect you to know the fine details of the study you are using as an example of its safety. At the very least I expect you to be able to locate the study online, print it out for me and for us to review the reliability of the study together’. Gretchen Lasalle apparently did not say another word, she thanked the patient for their time and the appointment ended.
Again, MultiCare Rockwood Quail Run Clinic in Spokane, WA clearly has a policy of placing patients into an appointment with Gretchen Lasalle, instead of their Primary Care Provider when patient’s ‘display resistance to vaccines’ what they consider ‘vaccine hesitancy’, without requesting the patient’s permission and without notifying the patient.
Both this RN and the edlerly woman who was tricked into getting an mRNA flu shot against her wishes to receive any mRNA medical treatment, both had appointments that were scheduled with their Primary Care Providers, were scheduled instead Gretchen Lasalle, without notifying or requesting permission from the patient.
In my opinion that aspect alone should be investigated and an article on that subject alone with the highlight not just on Gretchen Lasalle but also on MultiCare Quail Run Clinic being complicit in medical coercion instead of informed consent should be written about and highlighted in a major way because I doubt its just MultCare doing this, its likely also Providence and their family of hospitals and since the ‘misinformation and disinformation’ propaganda coalition in general which includes medical is based in University of Washington, these medical systems also likely have specific doctors whom are trained and receive money to be scheduled with patient’s whom are worried about vaccine safety against their knowledge and without permission in order to isolate these people with a doctor whom these medical systems believe is better suited to propagandize them away from worrying about safety.'
Thank you again for highlighting the locations where Gretchen Lasalle and any other identified medical propagandist trained doctors are working as the public deserves to know where these doctors are receiving training, their tactics and the medical systems that are choosing to not only employ them but placing patient's with these doctors, when patient's were originally scheduled with their primary care provider, to place patient's into a setting where they can be coerced without the medical system, MultiCare in this instance, against their knowledge and wishes.
Each person that reported to me that Gretchen Lasalle showed up as the doctor to their scheduled appointment with their primary care doctor told me, 'if I had known I would be placed with her I would have refused and rescheduled'. This is exactly whey medical systems are doing it without notifying patients. It would be incredible to know if they have any established policies on the books to do this.
