Owens Comments Before Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices

“I was a California Department of Public Health employee between 2009 and 2023.

“On April 14, 2022, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said this about COVID-19 vaccines:

“‘We know that vaccines are killing people of color, Blacks, Latinos, Indigenous People at about two times the rate of White Americans.’

“As a black man who loves all humanity, this concerned me.

“On April 18, 2022, I emailed Deputy Director what Becerra said, indicated VAERS data about allergic reactions, facial paralysis, miscarriages, heart attacks, heart inflammations, seizures, strokes and sudden deaths, plus stated there were 26,976 COVID-19 vaccine deaths.

“On October 13, 2022, I informed Deputy Director there were 31,330 deaths!

“Californians were told COVID-19 vaccines ‘are safe and effective.’

That is a lie!

“I prematurely retired so state public health officials could not muzzle truth from the public.

“Since then I emailed 'COVID-19 Vaccine Warning’ written notifications to 58 California Board of Supervisors, totaling 296 county-elected, and 62 administratively appointed local officials. I urged them to direct County Health Officers to stop promoting, administering and distributing COVID-19 vaccines.

“I would not have rode on my motorcycle more than 9,000 miles, urged 39 county Board of Supervisors to stop the shots and informed the California Board of Pharmacy —if I was not convinced that COVID-19 ‘vaccines are killing people.’

“Yesterday, I listened to subject matter experts assure the public that COVID-19 vaccines ‘are safe and effective.’

“Have they reached out and talked to any vaccine injured? There are millions, I can introduce you to at least four.

“Chelle, Julie, Lori, Tonya share their pain and suffering on the Stop the Shots space on X every night from 9 pm to midnight Eastern Time.

“How about an ACIP COVID-19 vaccine victims listening tour? We will help coordinate!

“People are suffering. People are dying. The government urged them to take COVID-19 vaccines, and now the government has completely abandoned them.

“Please do not ignore the pain and suffering of your fellow citizens, who were told COVID-19 vaccines ‘are safe and effective.’

“At minimum federal health officials must inform Americans TODAY, that COVID-19 ‘vaccines are killing people’ at an alarming rate.”
