[10.a. Consideration of Enacting a Local State of Emergency in the Town of Hilton Head Island]
THE AGENDA HERE AND MOVE UP THE PROCLAMATION TO THE BEGINNING OF THE AGENDA.IS THAT CORRECT? UNDER STATE OF EMERGENCY JARED, BUT I WANT TO BRING IT UP ON THE AGENDA.
MODIFY THE AGENDA AS RECOMMENDED BY THE MAYOR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. ORLANDO, WILL YOU SAW YOUR REPORT? I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE STATE OF EMERGENCY.
YOU SHOULD YESTERDAY MORNING, TEACH TUESDAY YESTERDAY, EMERGENCY YESTERDAY MORNING, A STATE OF EMERGENCY, BUT STATE OF EMERGENCY.
HE ALLOWS ME TO DEAL WITH THE RATIFICATION COUNCIL.
IT DO CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE NORMALLY COULDN'T DO.
THIS STATE OF EMERGENCY IS NOT, OR I'M NOT GOING TO SUGGEST TODAY.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT TODAY, THE ORDINANCE ALL WEARING THE MASK.
WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ANY ORDINANCE ALREADY PROCLAMATIONS ON MAKING MASK, WEARING A MANDATORY, OKAY, SO JUST WE CAN DISCOUNT THAT RIGHT AWAY.
THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT TODAY.
THIS IS ABOUT HAVING POWERS TO DO THINGS WE NORMALLY COULDN'T DO.
AND FOR EXAMPLE, PART OF THAT IS WE'VE GIVEN THE TOWN MANAGER TOWN MANAGER.
YOU GET THE AUTHORITY TO HOLD BOTH PHYSICAL MEETINGS FROM US HERE IN VIRTUAL MANNY'S.
AT THE SAME TIME, WE COULDN'T NORMALLY DO THAT HUNDRED DOLLARS CODE.
SO WITH THAT YESTERDAY, WE HAD A MEETING HERE AND WE HAD A COUNSELOR WAS UP HERE AND WE HAD COUNCILMAN DAVID AMES CALLING IN ON A SCREEN THERE THAT'S THE FIRST AND ONLY THING WE WILL TAKE UP WITH THIS ORDINANCE HERE OUT OF TOWN MANAGER HAS DONE CERTAIN THINGS, UH, TO THE CHAMBER HERE, CERTAIN THINGS FOR THE STAFF WHERE HE'LL GO OVER TO A SECOND.
UH, THIS WILL BE ALL ASKED MEETING IN PUBLIC.
WE WILL GO VIRTUALLY STARTING TOMORROW.
WE'LL TELL MEETINGS, COMMISSION MEETINGS, EVERYTHING WILL BE VIRTUAL.
UH, THE TOWN HALL WILL NOT BE ALL, BUT FOR THOSE MEETINGS ALONG THE WAY.
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT TO PUT A NEW MASK ORDINANCE IN.
THIS IS DEFINITELY BRINGING US VIRTUAL, STARTING TOMORROW.
UM, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THIS MARK AND MYSELF AND IT'S, UH, IT'S VERY DISTURBING.
IT'S THE PANDEMIC IS GETTING WORSE.
WE TALKED TO OUR COUNTERPARTS THIS MORNING TO ALL THE CITIES
[00:05:01]
IN THE COUNTY, BOTH THE MAYORS AND TALENT MANAGERS.THEY ARE ALL, THEY'RE ALL BEING HIT HARDER THAN US.
AS FAR AS THE MASK GOES, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU NEED A MASK, YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES YOU COMFORTABLE AND NOT COMFORTABLE? UH, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU AND WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS.
AND I IMPLORE YOU TO DO WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT AND NOT WHAT GOVERNMENT OR MYSELF TELL YOU IS.
IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THE SOCIAL DISTANCING BEFORE ALL THE SAME THINGS WE STARTED OUT WITH, BUT IT'S WORSE NOW THAN IT WAS BEFORE.
I MEAN, OUR HOSPITAL WILL GET A REPORT FROM THE HOSPITAL CEO IN A MINUTE, BUT THIS IS A, THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION AS TO WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.
SO WITH THAT, I'LL GO BACK TO WALK, BIKE, SHORT JAIMEE CLOCK.
WOULD YOU SAY, AND JEREMY IS CEO OF THE HOSPITAL HERE.
UM, YOU'RE SAYING IF YOU WEREN'T DRIVING, I APPRECIATE IT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF TELLING COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY.
I AM THE CEO OF HILTON HEAD REGIONAL HEALTHCARE REPRESENTING OUR GOVERNING BOARDS.
SO OUR MEDICAL STAFF AND OUR OVER 1200 COLLEAGUES SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS PANDEMIC, OUR COMMUNITY HAS HAD GREAT LEADERSHIP.
UH, YOUR LEADERSHIP, THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS, OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAVE COMBINED TO CREATE A SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR RESIDENTS, OUR WORKERS, AND OUR VISITORS.
AND WE'RE ALL VERY APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP.
HOWEVER, TODAY, SIMILAR TO OTHER COMMUNITIES AROUND OUR STATE NATION HILTON HEAD REGIONAL HEALTH CARE HAS SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF COVID-19 CASES AND HOSPITALIZATIONS.
AS OF THIS MORNING, OUR HOSPITALS HAVE A TOTAL OF 35 COVID-19 POSITIVE INPATIENTS WITH SIX TICK WAS SIX OF THOSE IN THE ICU FOR COMPARISON, LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AGO, THOSE NUMBERS WERE THREE AND ONE RESPECTIVELY.
THIS WEEK, WE'VE SEEN THE HIGHEST HOSPITALIZATION TOTALS OF THIS ENTIRE PANDEMIC.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE INDIVIDUALS HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID-19 ARE NOT VACCINATED.
MOST OF THESE PATIENTS ARE UNDER AGE 65.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING VACCINATED, AND I'M REQUESTING YOU TO REITERATE THIS MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY.
GETTING VACCINATED IS THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN DO TO STAY SAFE.
THE VACCINE HAS BEEN PROVEN TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE CHANCE OF SEVERE ILLNESS AND DEATH.
SO I ASK YOU AGAIN TO PLEASE ENCOURAGE ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY TO GET THIS SAFE VACCINE.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS PLACES IN THIS COMMUNITY TO GET THE VACCINE.
ANYONE CAN GO TO VACCINES.GOV TO LOCATE ONE OF THE PROVIDERS.
SO IF YOU'VE NOT GOTTEN THE VACCINE YET, PLEASE DO.
SO IF YOU ARE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED AND ARE NOW ELIGIBLE TO GET A BOOSTER SHOT OF THE VACCINE, PLEASE DO THIS AS WELL.
INSIDE OUR HOSPITALS, WE ARE VERY BUSY RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE CARING FOR OUR COVID 19 PATIENTS AND MANY OTHER NON COVID 19 PATIENTS.
WE HAVE AMPLE SUPPLIES OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, BEDS, AND VENTILATORS, AND WE HAVE PLANS IN PLACE TO CONTINUE TO ADD STAFF AS NEEDED.
SO WE REMAIN READY AND ABLE TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY CARE.
BUT THE ONE THING THAT EVERYONE CAN DO, UM, TO HELP US CONTINUE OPERATING SAFELY AND TO GET US ALL THROUGH THE SITUATION AS QUICKLY AND AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE IS TO GET VACCINATED.
AND I ASK THAT YOU JOIN ME IN JUST REITERATING THAT MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THIS GROUP.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, MR. BROWN, THANK YOU, JEREMY, FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
UM, YOU MENTIONED YOU'VE SEEN AN INCREASE IN INTAKE OF COVID PATIENTS.
UM, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, HOW HOW'S YOUR STAFFING SITUATION? I KNOW THAT ON HILTON HEAD, WE'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH STAFFING PROBABLY NATIONWIDE, BUT I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HERE LOCALLY AT THE MOMENT.
STAFFING IS A CHALLENGE NATIONWIDE.
WE HAVE AN AWESOME GROUP OF COLLEAGUES AND CAREGIVERS.
SO WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SUPPORT THEM.
WE HAVE MODIFIED OUR OPERATIONS SLIGHTLY TO BE ABLE TO ADD STAFF, TO HELP CARE FOR THESE PATIENTS.
AND WE'RE HAVE, WE HAVE OTHER PLANS IN PLACE TO, TO MODIFY AS WELL IF NEEDED.
SO, UH, WE'RE CONSTANTLY WORKING.
WE'RE, WE'RE PROVIDING GOOD CARE TO BOTH OUR COVID PATIENTS AND ALSO OUR NON COVID PATIENTS WITH THE STAFF THAT WE HAVE.
AND AS FAR AS, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WE'VE SEEN THE NUMBERS, UH, THAT INDICATE THAT WE'VE SEEN A HUGE AMOUNT OF SPREADING, UM, IN BUFORD COUNTY.
UM, AND SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHERE WE WERE IN THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC.
WELL, I GUESS MAYBE THIS IS THE SECOND HEIGHT.
UM, IF YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE IT THAT WAY,
[00:10:01]
I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PUSH TO HAVE TESTING SITES READILY AND AVAILABLE FOR THOSE THAT MAY BE FEELING ILL AT THE MOMENT.IS THERE ANY SUCH THING ON HILTON HEAD AS FAR AS A PUBLIC TESTING SITE, NOT A DOCTOR'S OFFICE, RIGHT.
UM, I'M NOT AWARE OF A SITE ON HILTON HEAD.
I AM AWARE OF THE D HECK RUN SITE AT THE TANGER TWO OUTLETS IN BLUFFTON, WHICH IS OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
AND WOULD YOU, UH, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO REPORT OF ANY FOLKS SHOWING UP TO YOUR HOSPITAL, LOOKING FOR THE TESTS? YEAH, WE HAVE SOME, MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT SHOW UP IN OUR ER, OR ARE SICK ENOUGH TO WARRANT A TEST, HAVE SYMPTOMS AND ARE TESTED AT THAT POINT.
BUT, UM, AS YOU KNOW, WE, WE LED TESTING EFFORTS FOR MANY MONTHS UNTIL THE DEMAND JUST, UH, DECREASED.
AND SO WE BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE OTHER PLACES IN THE COMMUNITY TO GET FREE TESTS LIKE THE D HECK SITE.
AND, UM, SO WE'RE LOOKING TO THEM TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
UM, BUT WOULD IT BE SAFE TO ASSUME THAT A SITE THAT IS MORE CONVENIENT FOR THOSE ON HILTON HEAD COULD BE APPROPRIATE? YEP.
AND, UM, YOU ALSO MENTIONED THAT VACCINATIONS ARE IMPORTANT.
UH, CAN YOU SPEAK TO OUR VACCINATION RATE, UM, ON HILTON HEAD TO ANY DEGREE? UM, WE'LL GO BASED ON THE D HECK DATA, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT OF A GUESSWORK, BUT IT, IT LOOKS LIKE OUR LOCAL VACCINATION RATE COULD BE IN THE 60 TO 70%, RIGHT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY DETAILS ON THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THOSE VACCINATIONS? I DO NOT, SIR.
UM, JUST, JUST FOR SHARING INFORMATION WITH MY COLLEAGUES.
UM, I DID ASK, UH, THROUGH MR. LANDLORD THAT WE RECEIVED SOME OF THAT DATA A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I THINK MR. DUNN FOR PROVIDING THAT, UM, IT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT, UM, AND I COMMEND OUR POPULATION AND THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE GONE OUT AND DONE THEIR PART WITH VACCINATIONS.
I THINK THAT PERCENTAGE IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 70%, BUT ALSO TOOK NOTICE THAT WHEN WE START TO FALL BELOW 45, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE WHITE, BLACK, BROWN, OR IN DIFFERENT, THAT RATE IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT, 10 TO 15%.
UM, IT DOESN'T WORK IN FOLKS AND WE ALL KNOW THAT ON HILTON HEAD, WE HAVE TO HAVE A WORKING CLASS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE OUR ECONOMY TO, TO RUN SOME GRAVELY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT DEMOGRAPHIC, THAT AGE GROUPS THAT CURRENTLY IS NOT VACCINATED TO THE DEGREE THAT WE NEED IT TO BE.
UM, SO I APPRECIATE YOUR, YOUR COMMENTS, JEREMY, IN TERMS OF THE NEED FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.
UM, SO THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS.
I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE, UM, PRAY FOR YOU DAILY AND YOUR EFFORTS AND REACTING TO WHATEVER COMES BEFORE YOU.
AND UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS POINT YOU'VE SEEN THE INFLUX AND SOMETHING THAT WE CAN NOT CONTROL.
UM, SO AGAIN, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS MR. STANFORD, JEREMY, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
UM, A YEAR AGO YOU HAD PLANS TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND THE HOSPITAL SERVICES AND FACILITIES.
DO YOU HAVE SIMILAR PLANS IN PLACE? SHOULD THAT BE NEEDED? NOW WE DO.
UH, WE DEVELOPED PLANS APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO.
WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE DID NOT HAVE TO PUT THOSE IN PLACE.
UM, THE SITUATION HAS CHANGED SLIGHTLY, BUT WE STILL HAVE THOSE PLANS AVAILABLE FOR US AND WE CAN MODIFY THEM TO ADAPT TO OUR CURRENT SITUATION.
WE APPRECIATE THE SERVICE OF THE HOSPITAL AND VITAL TO THE COMMUNITY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS MR. JEREMY, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND BEING HERE TODAY.
[7. Report of the Town Manager]
TAMMY.UH, EMC STONE, OUR ASSISTANCE.
ANDREW STONER ASSISTANT TOWN MANAGER.
UH, I WILL CALL UPON AS ANGIE WALKS UP.
I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW.
UM, FOR SOME CLARITY, AS A RESULT OF THE DECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCY, I'VE INSTITUTED THE REQUIREMENT OF WEARING MASKS AND TOWN HALL IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
THERE'S FOUR BUILDINGS, THERE'S TOWN HALL, THERE'S THE FIRE RESCUE HEADQUARTERS IS FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
I SIMPLY EXPLAIN MYSELF, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL OF YOU SITTING HERE.
I HAVE A AND A DUTY TO PROTECT MY STAFF OR HELP THEM PROTECT THEMSELVES DURING A PANDEMIC.
THERE ARE CASES OF COVID PREVALENT.
[00:15:01]
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF REPORTS IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THAT.AND SO WHAT I'VE DONE IS I'VE SIMPLY THROUGH THE EMERGENCY ORDER, OF COURSE, PIVOTED TO VIRTUAL MEETINGS, BUT I'VE ASKED THAT STAFF WEAR MASKS TO IN BUILDINGS.
AND I'VE ALSO ASKED THE PEOPLE IN PUBLIC FAILINGS WHERE MASS OUT OF THE RESPECT FOR MY STAFF, UM, NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE ORTHODONTIST THAT MY FAMILY WENT TO YESTERDAY, NOT MUCH DIFFERENT TO AN OFFICE BUILDING I WENT IN TODAY.
AND SO I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S, UM, THOUGHTS ON THAT.
I WILL CALL ANGIE STONE UP HERE TO OVERVIEW OUR EFFORTS.
AND THAT'S MAYBE AS ANGIE'S WALKING UP AND IF NOT, UH, MAYBE THIS, UH, CAN BE HEARD WHEN I FIRST ENCOUNTERED COVID WITH ALL OF YOU A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, I ARRIVED AT HOME AND MY DAUGHTER HAD A SIGN IN OUR WINDOW THAT SAID, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
AND I'VE ALWAYS HELD TRUE TO THAT.
AND SO PLEASE KNOW, WE HEAR YOU.
UM, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT ANGIE SHARE A MESSAGE TODAY, NOT ABOUT MASK MANDATES, BUT SIMPLY ON EDUCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY OF VACCINES.
UM, AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, ANGIE, THANK YOU, MR. ORLANDO.
UM, JUST WANTED TO COVER FOR COUNCIL, THE EFFORTS THAT WE'RE MAKING IN TERMS OF COMMUNITY RESPONSE.
UM, KIND OF LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
I THINK WE WERE CAUGHT A LITTLE OFF GUARD BY THE SURGE THAT WE'VE SEEN HERE LOCALLY AND THE DELTA VARIANT.
WE'VE GOT OUR EMERGENCY MANAGER WORKING WITH US ON THAT.
UM, AND OUR FOCUS AT THIS POINT IS ON IMPROVING INFORMATION AND ACCESS TO COVID RELATED RESOURCES FOR THE PUBLIC, FOR OUR COMMUNITY, UM, AND DOING WHATEVER WE CAN TO HELP INCREASE.
UM, THE AVAILABILITY OF VACCINATION INCREASE THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHERE THOSE ARE AVAILABLE AND HELP FOLKS TO GET THEM.
UM, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OTHER AREA OF GOVERNMENT, UH, ENTITIES AND, UM, HEALTH CARE AGENCIES.
WE'RE COORDINATING OUR MESSAGING AND OUR ACTIVITIES TO BE SURE THERE'S NO REDUNDANCY IN EFFORTS.
UM, WE'VE GATHERED DATA ABOUT TESTING AND VACCINE AVAILABILITY HERE LOCALLY.
WE'RE GOING TO BE POSTING THAT ON OUR WEBSITE.
UM, WE'VE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY LOCAL RETAIL, UM, ENTITIES THAT ARE OFFERING VACCINES FOR FREE WITHOUT INSURANCE OR EVEN IDENTIFICATION.
UH, WE ALSO HAVE, UM, KNOWLEDGE OF TESTING SITES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ALSO FREE.
AND WITHOUT ME TO HAVE, UM, ANY, UH, INFORMATION ON YOUR INSURANCE OR TO HAVE INSURANCE AT ALL, UH, WE ALSO KNOW THAT VIM IS PROVIDING, UH, VACCINATIONS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ARE A VIM PATIENT OR NOT.
AND, UM, SO WE'RE CONSOLIDATING THIS INFORMATION AND WE'LL BE DISTRIBUTING IT AND POSTING IT ON OUR WEBSITE IN TERMS OF ADDITIONAL CLINICS.
UH, WE FOUND THAT D HECK IS WORKING LOCALLY WITH SOME, UH, NON-PROFITS TO STAGE A VARIETY OF, UM, VACCINE CLINICS THAT WILL BE FREE AND AVAILABLE WITH NO APPOINTMENT.
UM, THOSE THAT ARE IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW, ONE AT ST.
LUKE'S ST ANDREW'S, UH, CENTRAL OAK GROVE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH ST.
FRANCIS CHURCH, AND THEN SOME APARTMENTS ON WOODHAVEN CARDILLO AND, UM, HEDGE APARTMENTS.
WE'VE ALSO, UM, REACHED OUT TO D HECK TO SEE IF THEY WOULD SUPPORT, UM, IF WE COULD OFFER A LOCATION AND PERHAPS SOME, UH, FACILITIES, MAYBE OUR WESTERN SHELTER, WHICH IS THE TENT THAT HAS AIR CONDITIONING AND THAT SORT OF THING, IF WE CAN OFFER THAT, CAN THEY HANDLE DOING CLINICS FOR US IN CONJUNCTION WITH SOME OF THE, UM, FESTIVALS THAT ARE SCHEDULED ON THE ISLAND? WE'VE GOT A FEW COMING UP WHERE THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LARGE NUMBER OF FOLKS IN ATTENDANCE.
AND IF WE CAN CO-LOCATE WITH THOSE, WE'RE HOPING THAT WE MAY BE, GET SOME VACCINATIONS DONE, UM, OUT OF CONVENIENCE, UH, BY OFFERING IT IN THAT AREA.
THAT IS, UM, ALL THAT I HAVE AT THIS JUNCTURE, WE WILL KEEP UPDATING YOU.
IF THOSE, UH, CO-LOCATION CLINICS ARE SUCCESSFUL, WE WILL REPLICATE THAT AND EXPAND IT INTO THE FALL.
SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON, ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELL, YOU'RE KIND OF WITH THE WOLF YOU CALL ME
YOU'RE OUT OF WATER, SO WE'RE NOT DISCUSSING THE EFFECT
[00:20:01]
OF THIS WITHOUT THE NASA.WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING, HEY, BUT WE'RE NOT DISCUSSING ME.
YOU WOULDN'T, WE'RE NOT DISCUSSING THE MASS TODAY.
I'M NOT DISCUSSING WHAT YOU WANT TO DISCUSS, WHERE HE HAD TODAY TO DISCUSS THE FACT THAT WE ARE HIGHLY READ.
I AM HIGHLY RECOMMENDING PEOPLE WEAR A MASK.
WE GOT NOT, WE ARE NOT PASSING A NOISE.
WE ARE NOT PASSING INTO EDMONDS TODAY.
YOU'RE LAYING, YOU'RE LAYING THE FIRST BRICK OF A MASK MANDATE.
HEY, IF YOU'RE SORRY, IF WERE HERE TO PICK UP EVERYTHING WASTING YOUR TIME, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON RIGHT NOW.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE BROWN UNIVERSITY STUDY ABOUT THE MASK ON YOUNG CHILDREN? WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON RIGHT NOW, SIR.
YOU'RE DESTRUCTING THE MEETING AND THIS IS A PUBLIC MEETING.
YOU PUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OUT ABOUT THIS MEETING.
THE PUBLIC IS HERE AND THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOME THINGS YOU WEREN'T DISRUPTING THE MEETING, SIR.
THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDER IS THE COUNTER IS THE ACCOUNT.
THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE COUNCIL'S ENDORSEMENT OF THE, OF THE STATE OF EMERGENCY TEAM THAT WAS PUT INTO EFFECT YESTERDAY MORNING.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? WE JUST HAD THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE COUNCIL FOR MY STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED YESTERDAY MORNING.
I HAVE A MOTION ON APPROVAL FOR A SECOND.
YEAH, YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A SECOND ON THE SECOND.
I JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE IF EVERYONE WILL STOP, PLEASE ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS.
IF IT'S MUTUAL, I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IS WHAT OUR MAYOR JUST SAID.
WE ARE NOT INSTITUTING OR READING AND DISCUSSING A MASS MANDATE.
SO THERE'S NOTHING HERE THAT REFERS BACK TO WHAT YOU'VE COME TO DISCUSS.
SO HAVING SAID THAT, LISTEN CAREFULLY TO WHAT WE JUST ARE TALKING ABOUT.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A STATE OF EMERGENCY THAT ALLOWS US TO DO CERTAIN THINGS TO TAKE IN HIS BEST JUDGMENT.
WHAT IS BEST FOR HIS STAFF? JESS HAS EVERY BUSINESS AND EACH OF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO YOU MAKE THE DECISION FOR YOURSELF.
WE ASK THAT YOU RESPECT EACH OTHER AND WHATEVER DECISION YOU MADE.
TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT AS WELL.
THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING HERE AND NOTHING MORE.
WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
I WILL NOW CALL FOR 15 MINUTES.
[9. Appearance by Citizens]
THERE WILL BE NO DISCUSSION OVER THE VALIDITY OF MASS.WHY WOULD DISTANCING, WHAT WHAT'D YOU THINK OF CONVERSATION? WE'LL TRY THAT THE FIRST TIME IT GETS OUT OF HAND.
I'LL JUST SAY JOIN THE MEETING TILL THAT A DATE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FIRST RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OH, BY THE WAY, FOR, WE SAW IT FOR PEOPLE THAT COME IN LATE.
WE'RE NOT TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT PUTTING IN THE WET AND END SCENE FOR THE MANDATORY MID WEST MASK WEARING.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A MANDATE ON, YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK WITH SAYING THAT WE WISH YOU WOULD, BUT THERE'S NOTHING MANDATORY TO, YOU HAVE TO DO IT.
WE'RE BACK TO HAVING SOCIAL DISTANCING, WENT BACK TO HAVING THE HANDSHAKES, ALL THAT STUFF ALONG THE WAY.
BUT WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING TONIGHT.
WE HAVE NO PLANS TO DISCUSS ABOUT THE MANDATORY WEARING OF MESS.
SO WITH THAT, SIR, YOUR FIRST YES.
MY NAME IS JOE RYAN, AND I'VE TOLD YOU BY EMAIL AND I'LL TELL YOU PUBLICLY THERE'S MANY OF US THAT WILL NOT COMPLY WITH AN ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRES MASKS.
YOU KNOW, THAT I ONLY WANT TO SAY THIS BECAUSE TOWN COUNCIL IN MY ESTIMATION WAS VERY BRAVE.
WE SAW PEAK DEATH ABOUT APRIL AND WE CAME DOWN IN, IN MAY AND HE INSTITUTED A MANDATE.
[00:25:01]
YOU INSTITUTED THAT MANDATE AND YOU THREATENED PEOPLE WITH FINES UP TO $500 IN JAIL OF 30 DAYS, WHICH IS THE LITERAL LOSS OF YOUR LIBERTY, THAT WAS A GROSS OVERREACH.AND IT CAUSED ME TO COMPILE ABOUT SEVEN PAGES OF REFERENCES OF STUDIES, PEER REVIEWED STUDIES ABOUT AIR FLUIDITY, WHICH DOES EXIST IN PARTICLE SIZE AND MASS FILTRATION.
AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR ACTIONS WERE WRONG-HEADED YOU YOU'RE NOT TREATING US AS ADULTS.
YOU'RE VIOLATING THAT KIND OF PATIENT.
UM, DOCTOR ADVICE KIND OF CONCEPT YOU'RE YOU'RE INSTITUTING AS IF YOU'RE IN CONTROL OF PEOPLE'S HEALTH CHOICES.
I THINK IT SHOULD BE TWO MINUTES.
AND THE LAST THING, JUST 10 SECONDS, PLEASE.
PLEASE DO NOT GO VIRTUAL WITH MEETINGS AND DO NOT SHRINK AWAY FROM PEOPLE'S DESIRE TO BE HEARD.
IT'S IT'S IT'S THE DUTY AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL OF YOU.
AND YOU KNOW THAT AS ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, YOU DON'T SIT ABOVE US.
YOU PARTNER WITH US AND YOU CANNOT SEPARATE YOURSELF THROUGH VIRTUAL MEETINGS.
SO I'VE HEARD YOU PLEASE DON'T DO THAT, PLEASE, PLEASE.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THIS TIME.
I'M A MOM OF TWO, UM, A TRANSPLANT FROM NEW YORK.
AND I AM HERE TO BEG YOU PLEAD WITH YOU TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF, WHO KNOW OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, WHO CAME TO SOUTH CAROLINA FOR FREEDOM AND IT'S BEING TRAMPLED ON.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REALIZE HOW TRAUMATIC THAT IS FOR THE PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO FIGHT ANYMORE.
WE'RE JUST HERE TO LIVE OUR LIVES.
I KNOW ALSO THE DATA, IF ANYONE WOULD BE SO KIND TO MAKE TIME TO SPEAK TO ME, PLEASE.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE REALIZES HOW TERRIBLE OF A PLACE IT IS THERE AND TO COME SOMEWHERE AS BEAUTIFUL AS THIS AND TO SEE WHAT YOU ALL ARE UP HERE SAYING SO LATE IN THE GAME, IT'S UNNECESSARY.
IF YOU WANT TO BE VACCINATED, IT'S THERE.
IF YOU WANT TO WEAR A MASK, IT'S THERE.
IF YOU'RE A MASK WORKS AND YOUR VACCINE WORKS, WE POSE NO RISK.
AND THERE'S NO REASON TO TRAMPLE ON THE RIGHTS OF FAMILIES LIKE MYSELF, WHO ARE JUST LOOKING TO LIVE OUR LIVES IN PEACE WITH FREEDOM.
I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO EXTEND ME FULLER TIME.
I SPENT TIME IN PREPARING THIS STATEMENT.
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE TWO AND A HALF MINUTES TO COMPLETE THIS.
IF I MAY, YOU CONTINUE TO BELIEVE AN EMERGENCY EXISTS.
I AM ABOUT TO FACT CHECK AND DEBUNK.
YOU CLAIMS TO DEFEND THE PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS NARRATIVE.
IT WOULD SEEM LOGICAL THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO HAVE AN ACTUAL ISOLATED PATHOGEN PROVEN TO CAUSE SYMPTOMS, RIGHT? WHAT IF I TOLD YOU FOYAS ACROSS THE WORLD REVEAL WE HAVE NEITHER.
WHAT IF I ALSO TOLD YOU THAT WHAT IS SAID TO BE SARS COV TWO WAS ACTUALLY COMPUTER GENERATED.
WOULD YOU STILL SAY WE FOUND THE PATHOGEN TO CAUSE ILLNESS, VIROLOGISTS WILL TELL YOU THEY HAVE AN ISOLATE.
THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS ISOLATED.
IT IS A WORD GAME MEANT TO CONFUSE AND TO SEE BY EXTENSION, SINCE WE HAVE NO ORIGINAL PATHOGEN, WE CANNOT HAVE ANY VARIANTS.
YOU CANNOT CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING.
AND LABS CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE TEST.
SO HOW ARE WE TESTING FOR VARIANTS? THE VARIANT STORY ARISES OF THE UNSCIENTIFIC METHODS USED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THEY DO NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THAT.
AMAZING HOW THE FLU SIMPLY WENT AWAY, WHERE THOSE COVID 19 CASES, REALLY THE FLU OR MAYBE PNEUMONIA OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE PROVEN.
IT WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST TIME ILLNESSES WERE RENAMED POLIO AND
WHAT ABOUT A POSITIVE RESULT ON THE PCR? MEANINGLESS REVIEW OF THE GENOME DATABASE TELLS YOU THE GENE MATERIAL.
IT LOOKS FOR CAN BE FOUND FROM MANY OTHER SOURCES, NOT UNIQUE TO THIS PHANTOM PATHOGEN.
AND WOULDN'T YOU QUESTION IS VALIDITY.
WHEN A PAPAYA CAN TEST POSITIVE AND HOW DOES ONE CONSIDER AN ILLNESS TO BE AN EMERGENCY? WHEN THERE ARE PROVEN SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS, IF YOU CAN TREAT A PATIENT WITH SYMPTOMS, THEN PREVENT HOSPITAL ADMISSION AND DEATHS.
WHERE IS THE CRISIS AND EMERGENCY? THE ONLY EMERGENCY WAS ONE THAT HAS BEEN SELF-CREATED BY GOVERNMENT IS AGENCIES AND A MEDICAL NETWORK COVERING UP VALID TREATMENTS.
[00:30:01]
AND VACCINE COMPANIES CAN PAD THE BOTTOM LINE.HOSPITALS WILL HAVE BECOME A WILLING PARTNER, DENYING ALL PROTOCOLS OTHER THAN THE NIH PROTOCOL IS LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE.
IT MAKES SENSE ON A BUSINESS LEVEL, SINCE COVID-19 DIAGNOSES EXPENSIVE, PATENTED DRUGS AND VENTILATORS, ALL BRING IN BIG BUMPS, IGNORING ALL THAT I HAVE SAID HERE.
IT MAKES YOU ALL COMPLICIT IN FRAUD AND MAKES YOU A PARTNER IN CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
I HAVE THE TRUTH ON MY SIDE, REVERSE THIS INVALID EMERGENCY ORDER.
MY NAME IS MARTY BUMGARNER AND I W THE REASON WHY EVERYONE'S HERE FUSSING ABOUT MASS TODAY IS BECAUSE YES, WE REALIZE THAT WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA IS SIMPLY SUPPOSED TO BE A DISCUSSION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY.
HOWEVER, THE MAYOR UNILATERALLY DECLARED ONE YESTERDAY.
ANYWAY, THE REASON WE ARE HERE IS BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, WE DON'T TRUST YOU.
YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN US ANY REASON TO TRUST YOU OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT SOMEWHERE IN THIS STATE OF EMERGENCY, THE NEXT THING IS GOING TO BE THE MASK.
AND WE'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THEM TODAY, WHERE WE WANT TO KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A STATE OF EMERGENCY.
TELL US WHAT YOU'RE BASING THAT ON IS IT WAS JEREMY CLARK JUST SAID EARLIER 35 PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL.
HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND? WHAT'S THE POPULATION.
THAT'S A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THOSE PEOPLE THERE.
HERE'S THE QUESTION I HAVE SEEN IN THREE OR FOUR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT, REPORT REQUESTS OVER THE LAST YEAR.
EVERY TIME YOU EXTENDED THE MASK MANDATE, I HAVE NOT BEEN GAY IN EACH ONE.
I ASKED FOR THE REASONING BEHIND WHAT YOU HAD LISTENED TO WHAT EVIDENCE YOU HAD USED EITHER FOR AND AGAINST THE MASS MANDATES.
YOU HAVE YET TO GIVE ME ONE SINGLE PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION.
AND I BET THAT IF I HAVE, WHEN I DO ANOTHER ONE FOR THIS, AND WHILE WE HAVE STATE OF EMERGENCY, MY GUESS IS IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME ANSWER AGAIN.
MY NAME IS LYNN GREELEY, DB, ENZO.
UM, I NEED TWO MINUTES AS WELL.
CAUSE I PREPARED SOMETHING THAT WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO READ TODAY.
UH, THE CDC CURRENTLY CLAIMS ABOUT 96% OF COVID DEATHS IN RELATED COME FROM THE UNPACKS.
LET'S LOOK AT THE REAL FACTS THOUGH.
CANADIAN BUREAU BIOLOGIST, IMMUNOLOGIST AND VACCINE RESEARCHER, DR.
RON BRIDAL, AS REPORTED ON LAURA INGRAM SHOW SAYS, AND I QUOTE, IT'S UNTRUE TO BE CALLING THIS A PANDEMIC OF THE UNVACCINATED.
THAT'S THE UNVACCINATED OR SOMEHOW DRIVING THE EMERGENCE OF THE NOVEL VARIANTS.
THIS GOES AGAINST EVERY SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE, UNQUOTE, THE ORGANIZATION CHILDREN'S HEALTH DEFENSE REPORTS ON REAL-WORLD DATA SHOWING MOST OF THE INFECTED ARE FULLY VACCINATED.
ISRAEL'S HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAID HALF OF ALL COVID-19 PATIENTS WERE AMONG THE FULLY VACCINATED.
THEY ALSO SAID THAT SIGNS OF MORE SERIOUS DISEASE AMONG THE FULLY VACCINE VACCINATED IS EMERGING.
A HOSPITAL IN ISRAEL ANNOUNCED 95% OF SEVERELY ILL COVID 19 PATIENTS WERE FULLY VACCINATED AS OF AUGUST.
POPULATION IS FULLY VACCINATED.
DATA IN SCOTLAND SHOWS 87 OF THOSE DYING FROM COVID 19.
AND THE CURRENT WAVE WERE FULLY VACCINATED DATA OUT OF BARN, STABLE COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS BETWEEN JULY 6TH AND THE 25TH FOUND 74% DIAGNOSED WITH COVID 19 AND 80% HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID 19 WERE FULLY VACCINATED IN GIBRALTAR, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A FULLY VACCINATED POD POPULATION HAS COVID 19 CASES RISING 22500%.
SINCE JUNE ONE, OUR GOVERNMENTS ARE CREATING A FALSE NARRATIVE AND WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT THE
YOU COULD NOT DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR US BASED ON A FALSE NARRATIVE AND ONE THAT YOU ARE LIKELY CREATING BY WAY OF ENCOURAGING A VACCINATION.
IN ADDITION, MAXIM, VACCINES, MANDATES FLY IN THE FACE OF EVERY AMERICAN CITIZENS.
GOD'S GIVEN US THE RIGHT TO PERSONAL LIBERTY.
IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO UPEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THIS COUNTRY AND TRAMPLE THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY.
CIVIL LIBERTIES DO NOT APPROVE THIS EMERGENCY DECLARATION OR ANYTHING OF ITS KIND
[00:35:03]
MY NAME IS BRENNA DEAN.OKAY? I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HEALTH SCIENCE REQUIRES A CHILD TO WEAR A MASK ON A BUS THAT IS EXTREMELY HOT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA? I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT THAT REASONING IS FOR YOU DON'T HAVE ONE.
I KNOW YOU DON'T BECAUSE IT MAKES NO SENSE NOW WHERE YOU WENT WRONG IS COMING AFTER OUR CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOLS.
THEY HAD A HARD YEAR LAST YEAR AND YOU BRING THEM BACK.
AND I SEE MOLLY SPEARMAN TALKING ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO WEAR MASKS INDOORS.
WHEN ON THE SAME DAY, LATER ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS EARLIER, ARM-IN-ARM HERE TAKING PICTURES WITH NO MASK ON.
NOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE KILLING OUR CHILDREN.
YOU ARE MAKING THEM DEPRESSED.
YOU'RE MAKING THEM HATE PEOPLE, HATE LIFE.
AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, I KNOW DEEP DOWN INSIDE, I EVEN EMAILED YOU.
I SAID, I KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS GOING ON IS WRONG.
AND YOU KNOW IT, I DON'T KNOW WHO HAD BEEN BOUGHT.
WHO'S BEEN SOLD, BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
IF YOU COME FOR OUR KIDS, IT'S ALL BETS ARE OFF.
SO YOU COULD COME MESS WITH ME.
AND I EXPECT THAT WHEN MY DAUGHTER GOES TO SCHOOL, SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WEAR A MASK ON A BUS.
FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR SERVING.
I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS ROOM IS REALITY.
IF YOU ATTEMPT A MASK MANDATE OR ANY FORM OF LOCKDOWN FROM A DECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCY, WE WILL COME AGAINST YOU.
AND THIS IS NO TIME FOR THE FAINT OF SPIRIT AND POLITICS AND WHAT PERSONALLY.
AND I BELIEVE I CAN SPEAK TO THIS ROOM WHERE WE'RE TIRED OF A ONE-TRACK MESSAGE THAT SAYS VACCINES AND MASK.
THERE'S A WHOLE FORM OF ALTERNATIVE THERAPEUTICS THAT WORK.
I KNOW PERSONALLY, AND WE
THEY'VE PROVEN WITH MYSELF WITH LOVED ONES.
WE WERE TIRED OF HEARING THAT ONE, JACK, IT DOESN'T WORK.
DO YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB? AND YOU REALLY WANT TO SERVE? LISTEN, THANK YOU.
WE MOVED HERE LAST YEAR FOR FREEDOM FROM NORTH CAROLINA INTENTIONALLY SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A FREE PLACE TO LIVE AND BREATHE AND FUNCTION.
I MAY BE NAIVE, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE WE'RE ENEMIES.
I BELIEVE IN THE ADVERSARIAL PROCESS, WHICH WE HAVE BEEN DENIED.
AND I BELIEVE THAT'S WHY YOU SEE SO MUCH ANGER AND FRUSTRATION BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN CENSORED.
WE HAVE TRIED TO COMPLY AND IT'S ALL BEEN FOR NOT BECAUSE HERE WE ARE AGAIN, FACING THE SAME EXACT THINGS.
THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS TO ECHO THE LAST STATEMENT.
I'M NOT A NURSE ANYMORE BECAUSE I CAN'T DO TO PEOPLE.
WHAT'S BEING DONE TOOLS THAT HAVEN'T WORKED ANYWHERE FOR.
ANYONE ARE STILL BEING USED AND REPEATED.
THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY.
SAY BY MASKING, WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. WE NEED INVENTIVE CREATION, CREATIVE SOLUTIONS, SOLUTIONS FOR FREEDOM TO GO AFTER LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
THAT BEING SAID, I RUN, I OVERSEE HALF A DOZEN SURGICAL SUITES IN THE NORTHEAST.
HOWEVER, WHAT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU IS BASED ON JUST LOOKING AT THE, THE GROUP OF YOU HERE, UM, TWO OF YOU HAVE COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE MASKS.
THE REST OF YOU ARE NOT WEARING THE EXCEPTION OF ONE OF YOU IS WEARING AN APPROPRIATE MASK.
THE REST OF YOU HAVE TOUCHED YOUR FACE, TOUCHED OTHER THINGS.
THIS IS NOT HOW MASKS ARE WORN.
THEY'RE COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE.
LIFE IS ABOUT RISK MITIGATION.
LIFE IS ABOUT MAKING YOUR OWN PERSONAL HEALTH CARE CHOICES, STUFF THAT I SEE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
YOU NEED TO MAKE PEOPLE, ALLOW THEM TO MAKE THOSE CHOICES.
AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR A MASK BY ALL MEANS, WEAR, WANT TO GET VACCINATED, GET VACCINATED, BUT YOU CANNOT MANDATE SOMETHING.
BUT BY AND LARGE, MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE CORRECTLY AS ILLUSTRATED BY HERE.
AND I'M NOT MEANING THAT TO DEMEAN YOU.
I'M JUST POINTING OUT THAT YOU'RE NOT EXPERTS.
YOU DON'T DO THIS ON A DAILY BASIS.
I'M 71 AND I'M A, MASTER'S IN ENGINEERING.
[00:40:01]
AND I WORKED WITH THE DEFENSE AND MEDICAL INDUSTRIES WITH BIOLOGICAL WARFARE, WITH THE ARMY.AND I WORKED WITH THE FDA WITH MEDICAL DEVICES FOR MEDTRONIC.
AND THERE ARE TWO THINGS I CAN TELL YOU.
ONE WITH, AS ACCORDING TO MASS, I HAVE 43 PEER REVIEWED CLINICAL DATA STUDIES THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO SEE THAT ABSOLUTELY SAY THE MASS DON'T WORK.
AND THEY ACTUALLY CAUSE PROBLEMS. I HAVE YET TO FIND ONE STUDY THAT SAYS THAT THEY WORK.
AND THEN TO THIS SHOT I WORKED WITH, IT TAKES 12 YEARS TO GET A VACCINE THROUGH THE FDA.
THIS THING, WHY HASN'T THE FDA APPROVED IT? BECAUSE IT'S EXPERIMENTAL THAT'S, THAT'S THE EXACT DOCTOR.
AND THE THING IS A VACCINE HASN'T MADE TWO QUALIFICATIONS.
ONE A VACCINE HAS GOT TO BE GIVEN AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT PERSON DOES NOT, THAT GETS THE INOCULATION, DOES NOT GET SICK.
AND THIS SHOT'S DONE EITHER ONE.
SO REGARDLESS OF WHAT'S IN THERE AND WE DON'T KNOW, THE FDA DOES KNOW THAT'S WHY THEY HAVEN'T APPROVED IT.
I KNOW BECAUSE THE FDA HAS USED TO BE, YOU HAD TO DANCE ON A PIN TO GET SOMETHING BY THEM AND THEY'RE NOT PLAYING THIS GAME.
I ALSO AM NEW RESIDENT OF SOUTH CAROLINA, MOVED FROM PENNSYLVANIA, SAW THE DESTRUCTION SUCH AS THESE, UH, STATE OF EMERGENCY ORDERS THAT WENT INTO A FACT SEEING LOCAL BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS THAT I KNEW.
I CAME TO SOUTH CAROLINA FOR FREE STATE.
HAVING TALKED TO SOME OF THE SENATORS THAT REPRESENT US IN THE STATE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY SPEAK AND FEEL FOR THE SAME THING.
BUT WITH THAT, I DO WANT TO SHARE, UH, GREG POLAND'S, UH, RESPONSE FROM THE VACCINE RESEARCH GROUP AT MAYO CLINIC IN ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA, UM, BEING ASKED, WILL WE GET TO HERD IMMUNITY? NO, VERY UNLIKELY BY DEFINITION.
AND THIS GOES RIGHT ALONG WITH THE LAST PERSON THAT TALKED TO ME, UH, EVEN 95% WOULD NOT ACHIEVE IT.
SO WITH A TEMPORARY ORDER, SUCH AS A STATE OF EMERGENCY, WHAT IS THE END CRITERIA THAT CLOSES IT? THANK YOU.
I'M A NURSE BY TRAINING, UH, FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS.
I'VE BEEN WORKING IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY, RUNNING, RUNNING, AND MANAGING CLINICAL TRIALS FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF DRUGS, UH, IMMUNOTHERAPIES FOR CANCER, SMALL MOLECULES FOR HYPERTENSION, WOMEN'S HEALTH AND ALL SORTS OF PRODUCTS.
I CAN SAY IN ALL OF THE YEARS OF DOING THAT, I'VE NEVER SEEN A LACK OF SPARSITY OF DATA TO GET TO THE VALID DRUG, TO BE ADMINISTERED TO THE GENERAL POPULATION.
THIS FOR 35 YEARS, I'VE BEEN, AS THE LADY SAID, DANCING, UM, COLLECTING DATA, VALIDATING DATA, VERIFYING DATA, AND SUBMITTING IT TO THE FDA FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.
THE CURRENT STUDY THAT WAS DONE WITH A VACCINE DID NOT COLLECT ENOUGH DATA TO ALLOW IT TO BE APPROVED.
IN MY OPINION, THE INFORMED CONSENT THAT PEOPLE SIGNED WAS APPROXIMATELY FIVE PAGES LONG.
THE INFORMED CONSENT THAT I WROTE FOR CLINICAL TRIALS WERE MORE THAN 20 PAGES.
THERE WAS NO ANIMAL DATA ON THIS DRUG, AND THAT HAS TO BE PRESENTED TO PEOPLE, DATA PREVIOUSLY DONE ON VACCINES FOR STARS TYPE VIRUSES.
SO RATHER THAN PROMOTING A VACCINE AND SAYING THAT IT'S SAFE AND EFFECTIVE WHEN IT'S NEVER BEEN APPROVED, PEOPLE SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF MORE OF NUTRACEUTICALS THAT DO WORK AND VITAMIN D KARSA TIN, UM, OTHER OPTIONS THAT THEY MAY HAVE, EVEN IF THEY'VE TAKEN THE VACCINE TO HELP SUPPORT THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM.
CAUSE EVERYONE'S IMMUNE SYSTEM WORKS DIFFERENTLY.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEING MANY OF THESE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SIDE-EFFECTS.
WHETHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE VACCINE OR NOT.
AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU AS A TOWN COUNCIL.
IN ADDITION TO, IF YOU WANT TO INFORM PEOPLE WHERE THE VACCINE IS INFORMED THEM OF OTHER NON MEDICAL OPTIONS,
YOU'D HAVE TO KNOW THIS JIM STEVENSON.
UH, YOU HEARD MY WIFE SPEAK, UM, THE ENGINEER UP HERE.
UH, I SPENT MY ENTIRE LIFE IN THE SCIENCES.
[00:45:01]
I TURNED DOWN MEDICAL SCHOOL TO PURSUE OTHER AVENUES AND I AM ACTUALLY A ROCKET SCIENTIST.I WORKED AT NUCLEAR WEAPONS ENGINEERING.
I'VE GOT MULTIPLE SCIENCE DEGREES, UH, WORKED FOR THE GOVERNMENT, WORKED WITH SANDIA NATIONAL LABS, LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORIES, OTHER GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS.
AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT ALL THIS VACCINE BOLOGNA IS ALL A BIG LIE AND IT'S, IT'S NOT A VACCINE.
YOU GUYS NEED TO REALIZE THAT BY THE WAY, THE MASK DOESN'T WORK WITH A BEARD EITHER.
AND MR. BROWN, I'M JUST TELLING YOU THAT WHEN YOU OFFSET A COUPLE OF MILLIMETERS OFF YOUR FACE, YOU JUST OPEN FOR EVERYTHING TO GO IN AND OUT OF THERE.
BUT ANYWAY, THE VACCINE IS NOT A VACCINE THAT'S, AS IT'S BEEN POINTED OUT, DOES IT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE VACCINE? AND I FEEL, I FEEL SAD THAT THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE INVITES PEOPLE IN TO PROMOTE AND FORCE PRETTY MUCH FORCE EVERY, BUT I SEE THAT AS A FORCE, YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE MAKING US ALL HAVE A VACCINE.
IF YOU HAVE HER WAY, IF THESE MEDICAL PEOPLE HAVE THEIR WAY, I, UH, IT'S TOTALLY WRONG LOOKING AND LOOK AT THE CHILDREN.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S SO MUCH ABOUT THE TESTING OF THIS VACCINE THAT IS UNKNOWN.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS, BUT DR.
MALONE, WHO IS THE INVENTOR OF MESSENGER RNA TECHNOLOGY FOR WHICH IS WHAT THIS VACCINE IS.
HE SAID LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO THAT THIS VACCINE PROGRAM NEEDS TO STOP NOW BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT.
ALL RIGHT? SO WE DON'T NEED TO BE SITTING UP HERE AS A TALENT COUNCIL TELLING EVERYBODY THEY NEED TO GO GET THE VACCINE BECAUSE WE DON'T.
AND THIS IS WHAT FREEDOM IS ALL ABOUT.
AS LONG AS IT'S AN EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE.
WELL, IT'S NOT EVEN A VACCINE LIKE EXPERIMENTAL WAIT UNTIL THE FDA MAKES A RULING ON IT, BUT DON'T BE PUSHING AMERICANS TO GO DO IT BECAUSE WE KNOW WE'VE GOT ALL THE STATISTICS.
WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ON THE HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH, WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HAD OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE COME DOWN WITH COVID AFTER THEY'RE ALL FULLY VACCINATED, YOU GOT THE DRIP BALTAR SITUATION.
YOU GOT ICELAND, YOU GOT PLACES ALL OVER THE WORLD WHERE PEOPLE ARE GETTING VACCINATED.
AND THE VACCINATED PEOPLE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE COMING DOWN WITH WITH COVID.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL.
USE OUR HEADS, USE SCIENCE, NOT JUST WHAT'S, UM, CEO OF A MEDICAL FACILITY.
HE WANTS US TO ALL LISTEN TO AND DO, BECAUSE I'M TOTALLY AGAINST WHAT HE'S, WHAT HE'S SAYING.
AND IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE CHOOSE AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
DID WE GET, IF WE GET VACCINATED OR NOT?
WELL, LET'S DO THIS RIGHT? AND DO IT TOGETHER.
IF THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND LEAVE ME OUT OF IT.
I WORE THAT MASK WHEN YOU STARTED THIS AND I GOT COVID BEFORE I WAS EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO GET MY DARN SHOT.
I WAS VERY ILL AND I STRUGGLED THROUGH IT, BUT I SURVIVED.
I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND I'VE GOT THE HIGHEST ANTIBODY LEVEL HE'S EVER SEEN, BUT EVERYBODY ON MY STREET HAS BEEN LECTURING ME TO GET A VACCINE.
YOU KNOW, THAT VACCINE WOULD HAVE MADE ME EXTREMELY ILL.
THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE SIDE TO THIS STORY.
AND IF YOU ARE TRULY SAYING WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, THEN LET US DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR US.
AND DON'T FORCE YOUR MESS ON US.
I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY THIS IS MY FIRST TOWN COUNCIL MEETING, BUT, UM, UH, I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE THING.
WHY ARE YOU PUSHING A VACCINE THAT DOESN'T WORK? THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING COVID.
WHO'VE HAD THE VACCINE, MY BEST FRIEND TWO WEEKS AGO HAD THE FIVES, THEIR PFIZER VACCINE.
SO DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU WONDER WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? I MEAN, JUST THINK ABOUT IT.
THINK ABOUT WHY THEY'RE PUSHING IT WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK.
UH, ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
I NEED TO MENTION A COUPLE OF FACTS HERE.
EVERYONE HAS BROUGHT UP EXCELLENT POINTS HERE.
WELL, LET ME REMIND YOU THAT THIS TECHNOLOGY IN THIS EXPERIMENTAL COVID SHOT, NO DOCTOR CAN DENY BECAUSE IT IS A FACT THAT WE NEED TO REMIND OUR FRIENDS
[00:50:01]
AND FAMILY ABOUT THIS, THAT THERE IS NO LONG-TERM STUDY IN REGARDS TO THIS EXPERIMENTAL COVID SHOT.SO HOW THERE ANYONE PUSH SOMEONE TO BE A GUINEA PIG? LET'S YOU WANT TO TAKE IT? THAT'S FINE, BUT THERE IS NO LONG-TERM STUDY.
THAT IS A FACT FACT NUMBER TWO, THAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU IN REGARDS TO THE CHILDREN HERE, THEY HAVE MORE RISK OF DYING FROM DRUG ABUSE, SUICIDE, ALCOHOL ABUSE, OR BUY A CAR IN THE STREET, THEN COLVIN.
SO AS A SCHOOL TEACHER, I WILL TELL YOU THIS YEAR WAS PRETEND, PRETEND THAT WE'RE DOING ANYTHING GOOD FOR THESE CHILDREN.
PRETEND THAT THEY'RE LEARNING HORRIBLE.
THESE KIDS NEED TO BE BACK IN SCHOOL, TAKE THESE MASKS AND SOCIALIZE THEY'RE SOCIAL CREATURES.
WE ARE HURTING THESE CHILDREN.
I THINK THIS IS JUST REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS IS AMERICA.
UM, AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE, UM, SOUND SHUT OFF.
UM, IT SEEMS TO ME AS I SIT HERE AND THINK ABOUT THIS SERVICE THAT YOU GUYS ARE GIVING, THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME ELEMENT OF LIABILITY CONCERN THAT ONLY ONE, UM, NARRATIVE IS BEING PUSHED.
THAT SEEMS, AND WITHOUT THERAPEUTICS, OTHER THERAPEUTICS BEING INVOLVED, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE LOOK AT COUNTRIES LIKE ISRAEL, THAT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT, THAT HAS A HUGE RATE OF VACCINATION, AND ALSO NOW A HUGE RATE OF THE DELTA VARIANT.
SO TO ME, IT SEEMS IN BEHOOVES US OR YOU GUYS TO ALSO OFFER THE OTHER ALTERNATIVES AND NOT JUST A VACCINE NARRATIVE.
UM, AND I THINK THAT GENTLEMAN FROM PENNSYLVANIA HAD THE BEST QUESTION, I GUESS, FOR US, FOR ME PERSONALLY, IS WHAT IS THE CANCELS IN GANG HERE BY, BY DOING THIS? THANK YOU.
I CALL THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE THIS MORNING AND I WAS ASSURED BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GOVERNOR THAT HE ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER, FORBIDDING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM ISSUING MASS MANDATES.
SO MY POINT IS YOU CAN ISSUE A STATE OF EMERGENCY, AND YOU MAY THINK THAT THIS CAN LEAD TO A MASS MANDATE IN THE FUTURE, BUT YOU'LL COME UP AGAINST A BRICK WALL.
THEY, THE GOVERNOR SAID YOU CANNOT DO IT.
I JUST RECENTLY MOVED BACK TO THE AREA, BUT 1988, I STARTED AS A DENTAL HYGIENIST RECOMMEND HERE IN THE PROFESSIONAL BUILDING.
AND I WORKED FOR FIVE AND A HALF YEARS.
I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT THE COMMUNITY I MOVED AWAY FROM.
I'M DISAPPOINTED FOR THE FIRST THREE YEARS, I WAS A DENTAL HYGIENIST.
I'VE WORKED IN THE PEDIATRIC DENTAL OFFICE IN AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
WE DID NOT WEAR A MASK AT THE TIME.
THINGS CHANGED WHEN AIDS CAME INTO, CAME INTO VIEW.
RIGHT? DURING THAT TIME I WAS TREATING ACTIVE AIDS PATIENTS IN THE ATLANTA OFFICE THAT I WORKED IN AT THAT TIME.
AND THEN I KNEW DOWN HERE, THIS IS NOT THE COMMUNITY THAT I MOVED AWAY FROM.
I WANT TO SAY, I APPRECIATE EVERYONE OF YOU FOR THE SERVICE THAT YOU'RE GIVING, BECAUSE THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO MAY HAVE LIVED HERE IN THE NINETIES IN 1990, WHO COULDN'T HAVE CARED LESS ABOUT POLITICS, BUT I WILL SAY THAT WHILE I WAS PRESIDENT, WHILE I WAS HERE, I WAS PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA DENTAL HYGIENE ASSOCIATION.
AND WE GOT MANDATORY CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR DENTAL PROFESSIONALS INSTITUTED BY LAW IN THE LEGISLATURE, IN SOUTH CAROLINA DURING MY PRESIDENCY.
IT WAS A WHOLE COMMITTEE THAT GOT IT DONE.
AND WE GOT IT DONE WITH A DENTIST HERE ON THE ISLAND AND EVERYTHING.
BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU I'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
WHAT YOU'RE DOING, I WANT TO SAY FOR THE THREE YEARS I WORKED IN THE PEDIATRIC DENTIST'S OFFICE.
THOSE MASKS ARE TERRIFYING TO CHILDREN.
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A TEACHER WEARING ONE EVERY DAY, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CHILDREN, LOOKING AT EACH OTHER WITH MASK ON EVERY DAY, THEY ARE TERRIFYING TO CHILDREN.
I'M NOT PRACTICING DENTAL HYGIENE, BUT I AM RETIRED AND I HAVE DONE NOTHING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.
SINCE I'VE DROPPED DOWN ON MY KNEES AND ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE ME AND TO TEACH ME, SHOW ME WHAT TO LISTEN TO.
I'VE DONE NOTHING BUT RESEARCH.
MY HUSBAND WILL TELL YOU THIS 24 7 FOR THE LAST YEAR YOU ARE PROMOTING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR HUMANITY.
[00:55:07]
HI, MY NAME IS KELLY HUGHES AND I'M A RESIDENT HERE.I HAVE A SON THAT GOES TO OUR SCHOOLS.
UM, I WAS BORN WITH A HEARING DISABILITY, BUT IT WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL I WAS FOUR YEARS OLD BECAUSE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME INTO THIS WORLD AND READ PEOPLE'S SPACES.
I AM AN AVID LIP READER, SEEING PEOPLE WITH MATH GONE GIVE ME ANXIETY BECAUSE I CAN NO LONGER COMMUNICATE.
WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR OUR CHILDREN? YOU GET SO MUCH NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOMEONE'S SPACE AND WHEN THEY SPEAK.
AND THERE IS JUST, IF THIS IS CHILD ABUSE, IT'S LIKE THE TWILIGHT ZONE FOR THESE CHILDREN.
THANKS FOR ALLOWING THE REST OF US TO COME IN TONIGHT.
UM, I'M NOT PREPARED, SO I'M SHOOTING FROM THE HIP.
BUT, UM, ONE THING THAT I THINK PEOPLE ARE MISSING IS EVERY TIME YOU, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU INVOKE THIS EMERGENCY ORDER, EVERYBODY THINKS, OH MY GOD, IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE ORIGINALLY AND MADE SENSE.
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
NOW WE KNOW IT'S 99.9% SURVIVAL RATE.
SO I THINK WHEN YOU, NOW THAT WE SEE THE UPTICK AND WE HEAR, OH, THERE'S A DELTA VARIANT, AND IT'S COMING BACK, PEOPLE ARE THINKING, OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE.
SO BEFORE, WHEN WE USED TO GET A COLD OR A SNIFFLE OR A COUGH, WE SAID, OH, TAKE AN ASPIRIN, LAY DOWN, STAY.
NOW THEY'RE RUNNING TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THEY THINK IF I DON'T GO NOW I'M GOING TO DIE.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE UPTICK.
I BELIEVE IN HAAS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE RUN INTO THE HOSPITAL AND WE DO WANT PEOPLE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
SO IF THEY'RE NOT AT 75, THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOWED, THEY WERE AT 75% CAPACITY.
AND I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOD, WHAT ARE THEY USUALLY AT? AND IT WAS LIKE, OR NO, IT SAID 70.
AND THEN I LOOKED UP THE YEAR BEFORE WHEN PRE COVID AND IT WAS AT 76%.
SO I WAS LIKE, ALL RIGHT, WE'RE ACTUALLY DOWN.
SO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, LET'S JUST USE SOME COMMON SENSE.
I CHANGED IT TO SOMETHING SHORTER IN LIGHT OF ALL THIS.
UM, JEREMY CLARK, I'M SURE HE HAS IMPECCABLE QUALIFICATIONS AND IS ACTUALLY A DOCTOR TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
HE WILL ART WHILE HE IS A DOCTOR.
HE CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW THAT I HAVE A SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITION THAT PREVENTS ME FROM GETTING THE COVID VACCINE.
UM, THAT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS 40 SOMETHING YEARS OLD.
UM, AND, AND SO I HA I'M NOT AN ANTI-VAXXER THAT'S.
I TRY TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS WITH PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY.
I HAVE ALL OF MY TRADITIONAL CHILDHOOD VACCINES.
MY CHILDREN HAVE THEIR VACCINES.
NOT THAT I NEED TO BE ANNOUNCING THAT PUBLICLY, BUT, BUT I CAN'T GET THE KEVIN VACCINE.
AND, AND WE'RE BEING DEMONIZED BECAUSE OF THAT.
WE CAN'T HAVE AN OPEN CONVERSATION AND A DIALOGUE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS.
THE OTHER PIECE OF THIS, YOU FEEL THIS FRUSTRATION HERE IS THAT IT FEELS VERY HYPOCRITICAL OR EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF LATEST ON THE WALL.
AND I'LL WRAP THIS UP TOO, TO DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND GET TO GO VIRTUAL WHILE THE REST OF THE ISLAND HAS TO WORK EVERY DAY TO PUT FOOD ON THEIR TABLE.
OKAY GUYS, AND IN THIS WORLD, RIGHT? LOTS OF JOBS ARE VIRTUAL THERE.
IF YOU WANT TO GO BE VIRTUAL, WE CAN GO WORK FOR GOOGLE, RIGHT? THERE'S LOTS, LOTS OF JOBS.
SO I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO DO IT AND SAY, HEY, IT MAKES SENSE FOR SOME TOWN COUNCIL, UM, PER DUTIES TO BE DONE VIRTUALLY, BUT USING A STATE OF EMERGENCY THAT SCARES EVERYBODY BECAUSE EVERYBODY WORKED UP, OH, IT, HOW BAD IS IT? HOW BAD IS THE HOSPITAL? ARE YOU GOING TO DO A MASK? THAT'S WHAT'S LED TO THIS? THIS IS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING.
IT WOULD HAVE HELPED HAVE THE DISCUSSION.
FIRST, IF WE WOULD HAVE ALL KNOWN, HEY, THIS ISN'T ABOUT A MASS MANDATE.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE PEOPLE ALL RILED UP.
AND AGAIN, YOU REALLY HAVE TO PUT YOURSELF IN OUR SHOES AND THINK ABOUT WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU CAN DO SPECIAL LOOPHOLES OR STATES OF EMERGENCY.
THAT'S A BIG DEAL TO WORK VIRTUALLY THAT'S, THAT'S ALL
[01:00:07]
HI, I'M CHERRY NORRIS.AND I AM REALLY HAPPY TO BE HERE BECAUSE I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A TOWN COUNCIL MEETING.
AND I THINK THIS IS QUITE EXCITING INSPIRE.
OH, I'M KIND OF SORRY FOR THAT.
I'M VERY EXCITED BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING A PATRIOT PICNIC COMING UP ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH AT SHELTER COVE, COMMUNITY PARK.
WE'RE VERY HAPPY THAT TAMMY AND TOM WILL BE JOINING US.
THE THING THAT I NOTICED, AND THERE'VE BEEN SO MANY COMMENTS ABOUT EVERYTHING WE'RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW, UM, THIS FEELS LIKE A PLAYBOOK AND WE'VE ACTUALLY SEEN RELEASE DATES OF NEW VARIANTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING OUT FROM NOW UNTIL 2023.
SO WHEN I LOOK AT A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND I THINK, OKAY, WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING ALL RILED UP ABOUT A MASK.
WELL, OR NANCY HAS GOT THE FLU IN A HOSPITAL.
WHEN OUR BORDERS ARE BEING PLUMMETED WITH MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE COMING ACROSS ON FAXED ON MACS, UNTESTED THEY'RE COMING INTO OUR COMMUNITIES BY BUSLOADS AND PLANE LOADS.
WE JUST LEFT A BUNCH OF, UH, MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND AMMO OVER IN AFGHANISTAN, GIVEN TO THE TALIBAN, BUT WE'LL BE TAKING IN THEIR REFUGEES.
WE WILL BE, UM, LET'S SEE, WE'VE CUT DOWN OUR PIPELINES.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE BEGGING OTHER COUNTRIES TO BRING US CHEAP GOLD AT GAS AND OIL.
SO WE DON'T HAVE $8 A GALLON TO PAY LIKE SAN FRANCISCO IS RIGHT NOW.
I'VE JUST COME BACK FROM LOS ANGELES.
AND IF WE DON'T JUST STOP RIGHT NOW, STOP COMPLYING TO THESE DISTRACTIONS THAT I BELIEVE ARE REALLY JUST SOMETHING TO GET US ALL DIVIDED.
IT'S LIKE A PLAYBOOK OF A COLOR REVOLUTION.
THAT'S BEEN GOING AROUND IN MANY, MANY COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.
I LOVE THAT WE'RE COMING TOGETHER HERE.
EVEN IF IT WAS A ROUGH START, I'M REALLY HAPPY TO BE HERE.
AND I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY AM ROOTING FOR YOU AND FOR US TO STAND UP AS AMERICANS.
BUT WE, THE PEOPLE AND TO PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND OUR GOD GIVEN FREEDOMS THAT WE UNLIKE ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAVE WE ARE BLESSED.
AND IF WE GO DOWN, EVERYBODY GOES DOWN.
I'VE WORKED WITH VIRUSES AND VIRAL DISEASES, MY ENTIRE CAREER.
UM, AND SOME OF YOU HAVE MENTIONED, UM, I JUST HAVE ONE A WRAP UP WITH JUST TWO THINGS.
I WANT TO VALIDATE EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE HAS SAID SO FAR.
UH, THEY HAVE ALL TOLD YOU THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS, RESPECT THE SCIENCE.
WE'VE HEARD THE FACTS, UH, MASKS DO NOT WORK.
I WANT TO POINT OUT TO THE TV THAT NO ONE KNOWS CITIZEN AND THE AUDIENCE IS WEARING A MASK.
ONLY THE GOVERNMENT HACKS ARE WEARING MASKS AT THIS TIME.
UH, THAT IS A FACT, UH, IT HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN EFFECTIVE.
UH, WE HAD, FOR EXAMPLE, A NUMBER OF ISSUES.
WE HAD A 30 TEXAS SENATORS FLEE TEXAS, AND GO TO WASHINGTON DC OUT OF 34 OF THEM CAME DOWN WITH COVID.
THAT'S OVER 10% FAILURE, OVER 10% FAILURE.
SO FOUR OUT OF 30, UM, ALSO SECONDARILY.
UM, MY SECOND POINT IS I'M ASHAMED OF EVERY ONE OF YOU.
UH, YOU ARE TRYING TO START A STATE OF EMERGENCY BASED ON WHAT THE DELTA VARIANCE.
HOW ABOUT THE EPSILON VARIANT? THAT'LL BE COMING OUT IN SIX MONTHS.
WELL, WE HAVE A STATE OF EMERGENCY EVERY SIX MONTHS.
THIS IS A, THIS IS A STEALING OF OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICAN CITIZENS.
YOU ARE TRYING TO USE ZIRP POWER, A STATE OF EMERGENCY REMOVES THE, THE, THE ABILITY OF CITIZENS TO BE REPRESENTED.
YOU'RE PUTTING IN WHO KNOWS WHAT? UM, ASK MANDATE, PERHAPS A VACCINE PASSPORT, PERHAPS LIKE NEW YORK STATE HAS PUT IN A VACCINE PASSPORT.
SO THE UNVACCINATED WILL HAVE TO WEAR MASKS AND THE VACCINATED WILL HAVE TO CARRY AROUND A NAZI PARTY DOCUMENTS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN VACCINATED.
SO THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS.
AND I'M A COMPLETELY ASHAMED OF ALL OF YOU.
[01:05:01]
THIS EMERGENCY, THE STATE OF EMERGENCYNOW WE NEED TO VOTE ON THE MOTION.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
MOVING ON, MR. YEAH, WE, WE VOTED TO APPROVE THE EMERGENCY ORDINANCE THAT I PUT INTO EFFECT YESTERDAY.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? SHAME ON YOU? THIS ONE WE GAVE YOU A CHANCE TO TALK.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON WITH THE MEETING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. LAMB, YOU DO THE SCIENCE.
THIS COUNTRY IS BEING ATTACKED AND DESTROYED
THIS CORD, THIS COUNCIL HAS NO AUTHORITY OVER YOUR BUSES, BUT I'M ADDRESSING YOUR SPECIFIC WHAT YOU WANTED A RESPONSE.
PLEASE STOP YELLING AT ME SO I CAN GIVE YOU ONE.
PLEASE STOP YELLING AT ME SO THAT I CAN GIVE YOU ONE TO YOUR SPECIFIC COMMENT.
THIS COUNCIL DOES NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY OVER THE SCHOOLS WHERE THE BUSES, SO I RECOMMEND YOU'RE PASSIONATE.
YOU HAVE A POINT, TAKE IT TO THE APPROPRIATE PLACE, PLEASE.
THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE AS A CONFRONTATION.
AND THEN WE ALLOWED YOU TO SPEAK.
YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WHEEL OUT.
I KNOW RIGHT NOW TO SET A PRECEDENT BY TAKING THOSE MASKS OFF AND VOTING DOWN THIS EMERGENCY MANDATE, YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE STATE, THE WORLD OF PRECEDENT FOR RIGHT VERSUS WRONG.
GOOD OVER EVIL GOD VERSUS SATAN.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE CROWD IS JUST ORDERLY.
WE GAVE HER
LET ME GET BACK AND CLARIFY THE VOTE.
THE VOTE WAS FIVE, NOTHING WITH ONE, ONE PERSON ABSTAINING HAVING MS. MARTIN HAVING SAID THAT, HAVING SAID THAT I NEED A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
