Fear Reigns at Board of Health Meeting
(Link to Slides Presentations and other meeting materials)
Some things just don’t seem to ever change.
On March 8, the Washington Board of Health (BOH) held its first in-person meeting since the governor’s lockdown nearly three years ago. In the Department of Labor and Industry auditorium, there were plenty of greetings, handshakes, and light conversation. It was almost as if the nightmare of the last three years had never happened.
But one thing was wrong with this picture: Eight of the twelve sitting at the BOH table and more than half of those at the Department of Health (DOH) table were still wearing masks.
During public comment ( TVW March 8 BOH Meeting begins at approximately the 22 minute mark), the ninth commenter asked the board not to end the lifting of the masking requirement in health care, long term care, and correctional facilities. The mask requirement in those facilities is scheduled to end on April 3. The next seven of the eight public comments also asked the board to not remove the mask requirement. They had such explanations as “This is not in line with the evidence given and is too much of a risk for those with long COVID-19” or “It is the best tool we have” or “We have learned that it protects the obese as well as those with chronic illnesses,” or “We need it to stay healthy.” One of the public comments came from an individual who was speaking for healthcare workers they claimed feared retaliation for speaking out against the lifting of the requirement.
A glitch interrupted the meeting’s internet connection temporarily for commenters, but once restored, Informed Choice Washington Board Member Lisa Templeton responded to those eight callers by saying that she supported the lifting of the requirement, saying,
“My heart goes out to the people living in fear regarding the lifting of the mask order from Secretary Shah. The idea that putting on a non-sterile porous material over your face, and it’s going to get moist and people touch their face, they touch their masks, it’s not airtight—the notion of this preserving one’s health is just not founded in science. I’m sorry that these people have been misled to live so fearfully. They needn’t live in fear, try going to Brownstone.org and do a search on mask studies. There are countless studies that should put your mind at ease, that you’ll be ok walking around breathing the free air.”
After the eighteen public comments on Zoom, the one in-person public commenter suggested that all the board had to do was read the Cochrane study, for it’s the most comprehensive study to date on masking:
Tao Sheng Kwan-Gett, chief science officer for the Washington Department of Health (DOH) then gave his report. He focused on the slides that he had shown to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky when she was recently in the state. The slides revealed that the rates for respiratory and enteric viruses in Washington for 2022 and 2023 have been low. On the other hand, the slides showed that, here in Washington, dozens are dying each week of COVID-19. The deaths mostly stem from the highest risk patients, such as the elderly and those with chronic deficiencies. “The stakes are very high,” he said. “The end of the emergency does not mean the end of COVID-19.
Nobody on the board raised any issues about these death rates, such as the following:
Does this mean the COVID-19 shots are not working?
Do the COVID-19 shots weaken the immune system?
Stephen Kutz, a member of Southwest Washington’s Cowlitz Indian Tribe as well as health clinic director for the Suquamish Tribe, was the only board member who raised any issues with Kwan-Gett. First, he complained that squeezing in just five-to-ten minute office visits was not enough for preventative health care. He then took Kwan-Gett to task for not having plans in place for more COVID-19 testing and more supplies of COVID-19 shots. Kwan-Gett agreed with Kutz and said this was a challenge that they were working on.
This dialogue exchange took place in the face of, less than just fifteen minutes earlier, the one in-person commenter telling the board that the CDC web site lists over 34,500 deaths in the United States and its territories after taking the COVID-19 shots with 213 of those deaths occurring here in Washington.
Kwan-Gett also listed the five priorities for “building trust in public health”. He mostly focused on the concept of One Health and its “needs assessment” workshop in Ellensburg on March 22 and 23.
“One Health” is an objective of the World Health Organization that has been increasingly sewn into governments and universities over the last decade. In essence, honorable concepts have been hijacked to serve goals that have nothing to do with health and everything to do with power and control. The bat-origin-story was not just a cover-up of an innocent lab leak. It’s the story the world is supposed to buy so that the global powers can sell climate-change-induced-disease-outbreak-fear, which gives them an excuse to lock us down, shut us up, and track and control everything we do.

But I digress. At the BOH meeting, the board also welcomed its newest member, Kate Dean. The BOH web site has yet to mention her. She is one of three county commissioners in Jefferson County. Her bio on the county web site is below:
Kate Dean was elected to the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners in 2017 and re-elected in 2021. Kate moved to rural Jefferson County in the late 1990s as a young farmer and entrepreneur committed to growing the local food economy. She was the co-founder of Old Tarboo Farm, Finnriver Farm and Mt. Townsend Creamery. After leaving the farm, Kate started a consulting firm with an eye to projects that leveraged public, private and non-profit resources to find innovative solutions to complex rural issues. She coordinated the Jefferson Landworks Collaborative (a farmland preservation and enterprise development initiative), managed WSU Extention’s Small Farm Program, worked for WA Dept. of Labor & Industries, and was the Regional Director for the North Olympic Development Council, a council of governments tasked with community and economic development. Kate holds her Master’s in Public Administration from the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington.
The board is still looking for a city council member to fill its one vacancy.
HB 1333 Suddenly Stalls in the House
Washington House Bill 1333, which would establish a domestic violent extremism commission within the office of the attorney general, did not pass the March 8 deadline in the house and in turn will not move forward this session.
The caucuses establish a cutoff calendar for each session, setting forth deadlines for bill advancement through the process. March 8 was the deadline for bills to pass the house of origin, which, in the case of House Bill 1333, was the house chamber. Although the bill was timely for its first two deadlines, it missed the third one and thus stalled for this session. The bill could be introduced next year.
The failure of the bill was a day of relief and celebration for health freedom advocates. The following slide during a work session for the bill visually explains why health freedom advocates were concerned about this bill, for the arrow makes a cause-and-effect from “Anti-Mask and Anti-Vaccine Narratives” to “Increase threats against elections officials, medical professionals, school board members.
Stand for Health Freedom, which strives to keep the public informed on critical bills, sent over 33,000 emails to legislators regarding this bill. Along the way, they welcomed 1,000 new advocates to their movement.

The hottest health freedom news coming out of California is the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination bill AB 659, dubbed “The Cancer Prevention Act.” AB 659 would enact a mandatory HPV vaccination requirement for every student beginning in the eighth grade.
The bill allows for no personal exemptions. The California chapter of Children’s Health Defense (CHD) says the following about other exemptions:
The legislators hide behind the statement "medical exemptions are allowed." However, with the new procedures enacted in 2021, obtaining a medical exemption in Calif. is next to impossible. Every exemption request is tightly reviewed. Nearly all are denied. Doctors who used to give exemptions have lost their license to practice medicine and those who might consider giving one are threatened by the California Medical Board with disciplinary action. Once a doctor faces disciplinary action, all prior exemptions are revoked.
CHD adds, “A family's only way to opt-out would be to homeschool, which is not financially feasible for most families.” CHD recommends parents read the following article by Wisner Baum:

CHD California opposes AB 659 because, “Not only is this vaccine ineffective for most strains, but it is also associated with serious side effects that include increased rates of cancer, and even death.”
The following table from the Vaccine Adverse Event Recording System from the CDC shows the risk of serious side effects:
The following table shows that 869 adverse events have occurred in Washington after receiving the HPV vaccine.
The following table shows that 622 persons have died after receiving the HPV vaccine.
Two of those deaths have occurred in Washington. They are as follows.
VAERS ID:
A 13-year-old female took the Gardasil shot on August 25, 2009. The onset of symptoms began on October 1, 2009, leading to her death on October 17, 2009. The VAERS write-up reads as follows:
Patient received the HPV as well as the flu nasal spray on Aug 25th. I first declined getting her the vaccination but her doctor ensured me that it was safe. I had declined the same vaccination a year earlier at the downtown public health center. Patient was getting ready for school and was standing by her closet, and all of a sudden she fell, she lost total control of her legs. She went to school and could not engage in any of the activities because of the numbness in her legs and the swelling of her foot. She also, started to get a really bad headache. Days later, she woke up out of her sleep, complaining of a severe headache, which usually she gets if she has a seizure, but she hadn’t had a seizure this night. She continued to say she had no feeling in her foot and tingling feeling in her leg. After I examined her foot, I noticed it was swollen. The next morning, I called her doctors office and made her doctors appointment for October 23. During the month of October, she had irregular periods. My daughter never made it to October 23rd, which as also her birthday. She passed on October 17, I found her cold unresponsive in her room at 7a.m., which I went in to wake her up to take her morning pills.
VAERS ID:
An 11-year-old female took an unknown brand name for HPV on December 8, 2015. The following table shows the shots she had been receiving.
Her onset began on March 28, 2016. She died on April 8, 2017. The VAERS write-up reads as follows:
First Grand Mal Tonic-Clonic Seizure (3/28/2016). Second Grand Mal Tonic-Clonic Seizure 1/20/2017. Third/Fourth Grand Mal Tonic-Clonic Seizure 3/10/2017. Fifth/Final Grand Mal Tonic-Clonic Seizure leading to death: 4/8/2017.
The above two write-ups open the question on whether the HPV manufacturers should be on trial for more than just fraud and malfeasance. Parents can decide this for themselves after they read The HPV Vaccine On Trial: Seeking Justice For A Generation Betrayed by CHD President and General Counsel Mary Holland.
