Three months have passed in my efforts to make a change locally. As I mentioned in a previous article, I was concerned with Washington State mandating Covid-19 shots for any child attending public school. California had mandated this policy so Washington couldn’t be far behind. I brought these concerns to the Port Townsend School Board through public comment at their meetings and through email.
Have I made any progress? It’s hard to tell. The school board members are not required to answer questions during public comment periods.
At the first meeting I attended in October, I listed all the government actions taken against us during Covid that we had not said no to. I told the school board we needed to start saying no, and we needed to start with any Covid-19 shot being required for children to attend public schools.
At a second meeting in November, I mentioned an October 25th NBC News poll revealing that, of all parents with children under the age of twelve, only 27% will have their children get the shot as soon as it is available. I then asked the school board what they planned to do if 70% of Port Townsend families remove their children from the school system in the fall of 2022?
I was unable to attend in person in December, but sent an email to the school board listing the twenty-five states that have made masks optional in their schools without sacrificing the health of the students. Why isn’t Washington State on that list? I also let them know that in the Washington State Prison System, the Covid shot is not required for incarcerated individuals. I finally asked them to read the following short statement from Dr. Robert Malone MD., MS., Before You Inject Your Child:
Before you inject your child – a decision that is irreversible – I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created. There are three main issues parents need to understand before they take this irrevocable decision: The first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including
The most alarming point about this is that once these damages have occurred, they are irreparable.
The second thing you need to know about is the fact that this novel technology has not been adequately tested.
Ask yourself if you want your own child to be part of the most radical medical experiment in human history. One final point: the reason they’re giving you to vaccinate your child is a lie.
In summary: there is no benefit for your children or your family to be vaccinating your children against the small risks of the virus, given the known health risks of the vaccine that as a parent, you and your children may have to live with for the rest of their lives. |
Dr. Robert Malone is not the lone voice on this issue. The Global Covid Summit, convened by the International Alliance of Physicians and Medical Scientists has issued a declaration signed by 16,000 physicians and scientists stating in no uncertain terms that “Healthy Children Shall Not Be Subject To Forced Vaccinations.”
At the January 6th meeting I told the school board if there was a Covid shot requirement next year, I would be forced to pull my child out of the school system and I would be encouraging everyone one else I know to do the same. Parents should not be forced to choose between their child’s health or public school.
I told them that I came to these meetings knowing that what I ask is impossible because there is too much money involved, but I am still here asking because we are talking about our future, our children.
Since then I have learned that under just two programs, Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief, (ESSER), and Governors Emergency Education Relief, (GEER), Washington State will eventually receive $2,604,821,223—that’s 2.6 billion with a B—dollars in taxpayer funds from the Federal Government.
The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction is allowed to skim 10% off the top for three things: learning recovery, reserve, and administration of the program. Port Townsend High School alone will eventually receive over $5.2 million in taxpayer dollars to operate during government declared emergency conditions.
As you can imagine there are strings attached, and just in case you didn’t notice, the disbursement of the funds is scheduled to run through the year 2024. If schools do not follow the many Covid-related proclamations of the federal government and our governor, the funds will simply be withheld from their monthly apportionments (bureaucratic term for the money needed for school operations), until they do cooperate.
The legal authority for this comes from reporting requirements in the applications filled out by school districts in order to apply for the funds, and a new section of Washington Administrative code conveniently added over the holidays without public notice or consent.
Checklist required for schools to receive U.S. Department of Education funds (see page 7)
No one has summed up what looks a lot like strong-arm tactics deployed by the Governor and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OPSI) better than Informed Choice Washington, an organization of parents, families, medical professionals, and educators who are trying to shine some light on this subject. Here is what they have to say:
“This new OSPI rule is intended to undermine the school boards and districts that read the full body of science on the DOH’s approach to COVID-19, listened to the concerns of parents, teachers, and staff, and decided to operate their schools in a manner that provided the overall best environment for everyone. The new rule is intended to silence dissenting actions and dissenting opinions. Health is not the motivation for OSPI— securing and retaining all of the federal money flooding to schools is the motivation. That federal money is tied with COVID-19 masking, testing, tracking, isolating, and vaccinating strings.”
Indeed, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal, has stated that he is all in on the jab mandate and that this will be a state level decision, not a district-by-district choice. Knowing all of this it is hard not to believe that school boards have been intentionally removed from the decision-making process by the state bureaucracy. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be asking our school board members to refuse this money rather than risk the health of even just one child in our community.
Back at the January 6th meeting I also told the school board I could try and reason with them that the shot clearly doesn’t stop the spread of Covid. Why would three shots be required in less than a year if this was effective?
I could give them the data showing that children suffer far more from the side effects of the shot than from the symptoms of the disease.
I could urge them to look up the list of young athletes that have been injured or died from heart attacks shortly after taking the shot.
Instead, I wanted to appeal to them as a parent who just knows that this is wrong and has to stop. I pointed out that if there was the slightest doubt in their minds that this specific shot might not be safe and effective, then they had the moral obligation to protect the children of this community and carry this message up the chain of command to State Superintendent Reykdal and say no. I have heard nothing from any of the board members. One of them waved to me from a coffee shop window as I walked by.
On Wednesday, January 12th the Washington State Board of Health held a public meeting where they began the first deliberations in the process of adding Covid shot mandates to the list of vaccines required for attending public schools in Washington State. Seventy-five hundred (7,500) individuals signed up to make a public comment before the list was closed. Due to time and technical difficulties, only a small fraction were able to speak. No one I heard supported the mandate. There are so many more of us than there are of them. Start saying no.
Speak up by contacting the Washington State Board of Health at wsboh@sboh.wa.gov to let them know how you feel. The next Port Townsend School Board meeting is Thursday, January 20th at 5:30 p.m. School board members can be reached at sboard@ptschools.org.
Brett Nunn has spent the last two decades in Port Townsend's Uptown, raising a family, volunteering at local schools and wandering the outdoors. He writes about survival, community and culture. He is the author of the book, "Panic Rising: True-Life Survivor Tales from the Great Outdoors."
Bravo. Great Work Mr. Nunn forwarded for sure.
Thanks!

This is still an EXPERIMENTAL injection of which no long term studies have been done. This simply means that no one, including Dr. Fauci or Dr. Berry, can say with any certainty that the shots are safe especially for children through their years to adulthood. A child’s body is constantly changing and what effect this shot will have on them as the years pass is anyone’s guess. Look how much we are now finding out about the efficacy of the shots with the adult population plus daily increases in side effects. We, the people, are now the trials that should have been done before the vaccine was rolled out. Children have almost a zero% risk of becoming seriously ill and dying of this virus so why subject them to a procedure that could haunt them and use for the rest of their lives. Remember the effect thalidomide had, not on the adults, but the newborns?
The Free Press has been asked to link the PTSD meeting for tonight. Here it is, but I do encourage our readers to join us in assisting with providing these details in the comment section when they see they are missing. We’re a small volunteer crew with full plates. Bookmark these public agencies on your own devices so that they’re at your fingertips the next time a meeting comes around.

This article needs to be passed on to parents of schoolchildren to share with each other. If so many are not vaxxing, they need to be able to protect that status if they continue with the school system, and they need to speak up NOW. I listened to much of the school board meeting tonight and was dismayed by their complete ignorance of the harms of masking, distancing, PCR testing and vaccines. They are pleased to see double-masked students restricting their oxygen, crucial to brain function and health. They are triple-testing the wrestling team every week before practices. The principal went to Bremerton to make sure there are enough tests for the school. They wrote to Inslee to ensure they had enough tests so that they wouldn’t have to put athletics ‘”on pause” in favor of the academic programs.They thought that a video of kids singing the Salish Coast song while distancing, and presumably wearing masks (it was hard to make out), was cute. They have not done their due diligence of research. Instead, they parrot what they hear on mainstream media, or what is handed down to them from compromised sources like the health department. I am also dismayed that they do not respond to comments at all, and black out attendees on Zoom who are not part of their team. The chat box is gone, a useful tool which can be referenced after the meeting. We are concerned citizens, parents, grandparents, etc. who are attending the meeting because we care about children and our future generations. They need to hear from everyone. These board members should not be operating in a vacuum. They look ridiculous in their masks. For heaven’s sake, do some research on the Omicold, people! Get the cold, it will strengthen your immune system.
Can anybody protect the children from the “experts” or the lure of the available money ?

JUST IN – FDA panel voted 17-0 in favor of authorizing the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use in children aged 5 to 11 years in the US.
Dr. Eric J. Rubin, a member of the FDA panel that took this vote, is also Editor-in-Chief of the “New England Journal of Medicine.”
“This is a much tougher one, I think, than we had expected coming into it. The data show that this vaccine works and it’s pretty safe … At least by immuno bridging and even by some clinical data, some early clinical data. And yet, we’re worried about a side effect that we can’t measure yet, but it’s probably real. And we see a benefit that isn’t the same as it is in older patients.
For me I think it’s going to revolve around two questions: First, whether there is going to be a use for this vaccine in this age group and then how the decision gets made and use it within this age group .
I think what sways me here is a very, sort of, personal choice. If I had a child who was a transplant recipient, I would really want to be able to use a vaccine. And there are certain kids who probably should be vaccinated. The question of how broadly to use it though I think is a substantial one. And I know it’s not our question, and I know we’re kind of punting that to ACIP.
But I do think that it’s a relatively close call. As Dr. [Ofer] Levy just said, and Dr. [Hayley] Gans said, it really is going to be a question of what the prevailing conditions are. But we’re never going to learn about how safe this vaccine is unless we start giving it. That’s just the way it goes. That’s how we found out about rare complications of other vaccines like the rotavirus vaccine. And I do think we should vote to approve it.”

The rolling transcript menu is accessible from the 3 dot menu below the video screen on the right and to the right of “SAVE” [select “Open transcript”]:
There are currently two bills in the WA State Legislature SB5563 and HB1590 for Covid relief for schools due to the loss of enrollment. It comes at a hefty price tag of 5.22 million.
Well, if this vaccination of young is just a test, I think that all the Doctors, Politrons and “would be people in the know” have their children step to the front of the line. They should get the results before your children take one shot. Like that’s going to happen. .
