PREYINGHAWK REPORT #46: SO HHS SECRETARY BECERRA COMES TO CHICO TO STOP VACCINE HESITENCY AND THE COUNTY AGREED TO CHANGE THEIR AGENDA TO SHUT US UP

Butte County Board of Supervisors Meeting, March 22, 2022. The FIRST MEETING AFTER HHS SECRETARY XAVIER BECERRA CAME TO CHICO FOR PRIVATE MEETINGS AT ENLOE WITH PUBLIC HEALTH DIRECTOR YORK AND ENLOE MEDICAL OFFICER ANDY MILLER.... TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE VACCINE HESITANT... WHY OUR VACCINATION RATES WERE SO LOW.

The day after he left, on March 15, I got an email from the County Clerk advising me that the COVID REPORT would no longer be on the agenda. No longer part of every BOS Meeting. Because THEY ARE RETURNING TO PRE-PANDEMIC TIMES. WTF.

At the March 8th meeting, Danette York gave the COVID REPORT update: we have outbreaks, we are coming out of the tunnel but not there yet. AND ON MARCH 14TH HHS SECRETARY BECERRA IS I TOWN. NO MENTION OF THAT IN HER REPORT. HE CAME HERE TO DISCUSS OUR VACCINE HESITANCY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE LEAVES:

1) EMAIL FROM THE CLERK GOES TO THE 3 OF US ALWAYS AT THE MEETING TO HEAR THE REPORT AND PROVIDE OUR FEEDBACK.. NO MORE COVID REPORT. WE ARE DONE WITH COVID AND CAN GO BACK TO PREPANDEMIC AGENDA.

2) THEY MOVE THE GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT FROM BEING A "TIMED" ITEM (AT 1:00 PM) TO "END OF MEETING WHENEVER THAT IS (SO WE HAVE TO SIT THERE ALL DAY)

3) MOBILE VACCINATION CLINICS ARE SCHEDULED TO GO TO PLACES FREQUENTED BY CHILDREN. BECAUSE THOSE RATES THEY WANT INCREASED.

UNBELIEVABLE.

SO I DECIDE TO DO MY OWN COVID REPORT. OF COURSE I DO. BUT AT THIS FIRST MEETING AFTER BECERRA DEMANDED BUTTE COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH TO FIX THIS VACCINE HESITANCY PROBLEM, THERE IS A MYSTERIOUS SYSTEM BREAKDOWN.

THEY ARE WORKING HARD TO SILENCE OUR VOICE. BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHO THEY ARE DEALING WITH. BRING IT ON.
