Los Angeles County Pauses Universal Indoor Masking Mandate

Los Angeles County Pauses Universal Indoor Masking Mandate

Earlier this week, since announcing LA COUNTY mask mandate, Ferrer has been contradicted by LA’s own hospitals about COVID numbers and exposed for relying on a mask “study” authored by her own daughter. She was also caught mixing masklessly – indeed jubilantly – with 70,000 baseball fans.

The cities of Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, El Segundo, and Manhattan Beach announced they would refuse to enforce Barbara Ferrer's order. And just moments ago, Ferrer backtracked and cancelled it.

ASM. Kevin Kiley wrote:

LA County is cancelling its absurd new mask mandate. Thank you to all who fought back.

Earlier this week the cities of Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, El Segundo, and Manhattan Beach announced they would refuse to enforce Barbara Ferrer’s order. And just moments ago, Ferrer backtracked and cancelled it.

This is the turning point we’ve been working towards. It effectively stops Newsom from issuing another statewide mandate, eager as he might be to do so.

Notably, the current resistance is happening in some of the bluest parts of the state. In Long Beach, Democrats outnumber Republicans 144,000 to 44,000.

VAERS updates as of July, 2022

VAERS updates as of July, 2022

The following article is by Megan Redshaw of The Defender

“VAERS publishes vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.

Historically, VAERS has been shown to report only 1% of actual vaccine adverse events.

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to July 15, 2022, for 6-month-olds to 5-year-olds show:

2,252 adverse events, including 76 cases rated as serious and 3 reported deaths.

4 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation).

The CDC uses a narrowed case definition of “myocarditis,” which excludes cases of cardiac arrest, ischemic strokes and deaths due to heart problems that occur before one has the chance to go to the emergency department.

14 reports of blood clotting disorders.

20 reports of seizures.

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to July 15, 2022, for 5- to 11-year-olds show:

12,112 adverse events, including 309 rated as serious and 8 reported deaths.

24 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis.

47 reports of blood clotting disorders.

100 reports of seizures.

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to July 15, 2022, for 12- to 17-year-olds show:

32,734 adverse events, including 1,844 rated as serious and 44 reported deaths.

62 reports of anaphylaxis among 12- to 17-year-olds where the reaction was life-threatening, required treatment or resulted in death — with 97% of cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.

656 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis with 644 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.

164 reports of blood clotting disorders with all cases attributed to Pfizer.

20 cases of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) with all cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.

U.S. VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to July 15, 2022, for all age groups combined, show:

20% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders.

54% of those who died were male, 41% were female and the remaining death reports did not include the gender of the deceased.

The average age of death was 73.

As of July 15, 5,657 pregnant women reported adverse events related to COVID-19 vaccines, including 1,766 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.

Of the 3,625 cases of Bell’s Palsy reported, 51% were attributed to Pfizer vaccinations, 40% to Moderna and 8% to J&J.

901 reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome, with 42% of cases attributed to Pfizer, 30% to Moderna and 27% to J&J.

2,290 reports of anaphylaxis where the reaction was life-threatening, required treatment or resulted in death.

1,738 reports of myocardial infarction.

14,223 reports of blood-clotting disorders in the U.S. Of those, 6,360 reports were attributed to Pfizer, 5,108 reports to Moderna and 2,719 reports to J&J.

4,266 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis with 2,615 cases attributed to Pfizer, 1,448 cases to Moderna and 187 cases to J&J.

14 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with 8 cases attributed to Pfizer, 5 cases to Moderna and 1 case to J&J.

269 cases of POTS with 164 cases attributed to Pfizer, 87 cases to Moderna and 17 cases to J&J.”

These bills still need to be stopped!

Why are these bills so bad? Individually they seem harmless, some may even seem like a good idea. But when you see how they all build on each other, you see the the foundation that is being laid down. If, SB 866 passes to change consent to vaccination to age 15, the gateway is open to all these other bills. This will allow for insurmountable coercion, bullying and duress for minors to succumb to a medical procedure/treatment they may not want or should not have. This will usurp parent’s protective authority to decide what is in the best interest for their child’s health. This will hide the medical information from parents/guardians. Essentially transferring authority over your child to the state. Please continue to educate legislators and to demand they oppose the following bad bills.

SB 866
Minors: vaccine consent (Wiener)
This bill would authorize a minor 15 years of age or older to consent to vaccines.

SB 1184

Confidentiality of Medical Information Act: school-linked services coordinators This bill will change the California Medical Privacy act to authorize a health care provider or service plan to disclose your child’s medical information to a school-linked services coordinator.

SB 1419

Health Information (Becker) This bill would prohibit the representative of a minor from inspecting the minor’s patient record when the records relate to certain services, including medical care related to the prevention or treatment of pregnancy, as specified. This bill goes hand in hand with SB 866.

SB 1479

COVID19 testing in schools: COVID19 testing plans (PAN) Requires schools to continue COVID19 testing.

AB 1797
Development of a state immunization registry (Weber)
Creates a state-mandated digital immunization registry for every vaccine. This bill will “require” health care providers and other agencies, including schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies to disclose specified immunization information”, with no “opt out” provision.

AB 1940

School-Based Health Center Support Program The bill would authorize a school-based health center to provide primary medical care (including immunizations), behavioral health services, or dental care services onsite or through mobile health or telehealth. School-based health centers shall collect and report data to the California Public Health Department. To integrate the school-based health center in the school or local educational agency’s community school model.

CALL, EMAIL and MEET with your legislator now to demand they oppose these bills.
