Mask Rebellion at the Port Townsend Food Co-op

After two weeks of planning, the first stage of the customer rebellion began. At 12:15 p.m. on Wednesday, February 2, about ten customers entered the Port Townsend Food Co-op and began filling their carts. At 12:30 in the cheese section, one of them yelled that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) just admitted masks don’t work. A woman looked at her phone and stated a few quotes from the CDC about the unethical use of masks. The protestors ripped off their masks and cheered. An employee close by told them to put their masks back on. On cue, another ten customers entered the store, mask-less. A moment later, the store manager announced over the public address system, “Those who have removed their masks must leave the store.” Leaving behind carts filled with goods, the mask-less customers exited the store.  The following Tuesday, the weekly e-mail newsletter to Co-op members featured a  five-paragraph essay from the general manager about the protest. In the third-paragraph, the general manager twice used the phrase that Del Bigtree repeatedly used when addressing the mainstream media during his speech at the “Defeat the Mandates” rally in Washington, DC.—Shame on you.  The fourth paragraph ended with, “Now, if you really want to take action and apologize to our staff for your thoughtless behavior, then please do so. Letters of apology will be accepted. But please don’t come inside and expect us to welcome you without a face covering.” 

At the Health Freedom Information meeting the morning after the Port Townsend Co-op letter was released, many of the participants reflected on the protest. One stood up and said that she left the store with a “wonderful feeling.” Another said that an employee agreed that masks don’t work, but, by ordering her to leave, he was just doing his job. Another said that a few customers shouted expletives at her. A Co-op member for thirty-two years said that she kept telling all the adversaries around her, “I love you, anyway.” A few of the protesters said that the police and the sheriff deputy in the parking lot were very cordial to them. The protesters agreed that they would like to do another mask rebellion in the Port Townsend Co-op. 

Washington Death and Serious Injuries Report Following COVID-19 Shots

COVID-19 Shot Safety Under Oath

On the January 28, 2022, “An Informed Life Radio” show on 1150 AM KKNW and CHD-TV with Bernadette Pajer and Xavier Figueroa, Dr. Henry Ealy mentioned that the Vaccine Adverse Events Recording System (VAERS) on the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website reported 6,600 deaths within forty-eight hours post inoculation for COVID-19.  Dr. Ealy then discussed the CDC’s claims of no “causation” after COVID-19 shots. He said, “With their nonsense saying that, even though it’s under EUA, it is legally required to report any injuries or, especially, deaths that they feel are associated with the experimental shots, Fauci comes out and says, ‘Well, you know, actually somebody that gets hit by a bus gets counted by the VAERS.’ ” 

As the director of the National Institutes of Allergy Infections Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci made such claims under oath during a January 11, 2022 United States Senate hearing alongside CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky as they fielded questions from Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville. Below is an ICWA transcription of the dialogue exchange.  Of note, heading into this hearing, the VAERS reports on the CDC website showed 21,382 deaths following shots for COVID-19 when one includes foreign reports. As of the 9,778 deaths following the shots in the United States alone, 20% occurred within twenty-four hours after the shot, 24% occurred within forty-eight hours after the shot, and 61% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within forty-eight hours after inoculation.

Transcription of the dialogue exchange from video:

TUBERVILLE: It has been reported by virologists and scientists that this year about 170 people have died from taking the regular flu vaccine. The vaccine advisory reporting system reported that the number of people dying after or following the COVID vaccine is actually in the thousands. Now, this is what I’m hearing. I’ll give you a chance to refute that or confirm that you know. Is this true? Do we have that many people die after taking one of these vaccines?

WALENSKY: Senator Tuberville, thank you for that question. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reports System is a mandatory system of any adverse event that happens after being vaccinated, so if you get hit by a car tragically after getting vaccinated that gets reported in the vaccine adverse events reporting system, their system, so the vaccines are incredibly safe, they protect us against Omicron, they protect us against uh Delta they protect us against COVID. They don’t protect us against every other form of mortality out there. 

TUBERVILLE: Do we keep numbers of people that died following taking a COVID test from taking this vaccine? Do we have any idea? I’m just asking.

WALENSKY: I’m sorry those who have died after taking …

TUBERVILLE: Following taking the vaccine, is there any number count? Do we keep records on that that died of just uh from …

WALENSKY: Absolutely yes. I couldn’t give you then the absolute number off the top of my head, but our staff could absolutely get back in touch with you. We collect this data.

TUBERVILLE: Do you know, Dr. Fauci? Do you have any clue?

FAUCI: On how many died … (inaudible)

TUBERVILLE: One hundred? 

FAUCI: I don’t know the number, but I think it’s really important for people …

TUBERVILLE: Microphone.

FAUCI: I’m sorry. (removes his mask) I don’t have a number, but I think part of the confusion is that when you do a reporting, if you get vaccinated, and you walk out and get hit by a car (laughs) that is considered a death. I mean that the thing that gets confusing that everything that happens after the vaccination even if you die of something completely obviously unrelated, it’s considered a death, so if I had metastatic cancer, got vaccinated, and died two weeks later, that’s a death that gets …

TUBERVILLE: I understand that ,..

WALENSKY: And everyone of those get adjudicated.

So is it true? Is VAERS loaded with accidents unrelated to recent receipt of shot?

VAERS has codes for various accidents. Code 10039203 is for “road traffic accidents.” For all vaccines combined, for all years combined, the code was used 446 times. A review of the cases is very interesting. For instance, the first one in the list is from 1999 with a young woman who was given Lyme disease vaccine.

Write-up: On May 26, 1999 the pt received her first dose of Lymerix. Seven days later on 6/2/99, the pt had flu-like symptoms and a sore arm which lasted through 6/10/99. From 7/3/99 through 7/4/99 she had an extreme migraine. On 7/5/99 she found that she was bumping into things. On 7/6/99, she found that her perception was off and she had a minor car accident (fender-bender) due to this. There were no injuries. On 7/19/99 the pt had a headache, slurred speech, and was disoriented. On 7/25/99 the pt had a severe migraine so severe she couldn”t talk. She went to the ER where she was given Demerol and sent home. On 8/27/99 she had a brain scan and western blot. The scan was normal, the western blot showed positive for Lyme disease. She was treated wit tetracycline but reacted with an upset stomach, she was switched to Doxycycline. Since 8/99, she continued to be very tired and disoriented. She had body soreness. At times she is so sore she cannot get out of bed. She missed on week of work in July and many other days as well due to adverse events. She cannot drive because she is afraid of being disoriented. The most recent information received on 11/2/99 reports the condition of the pt as ongoing.

As of February 4, 2022, 303 of the 446 cases shown were following receipt of a COVID-19 shot. This LINK will bring you to the list. Read a few of the reports to see if you can figure out why a car accident was mentioned in the report. For example: ” . . .had a serious allergic reaction to her first COVID 19 shot; passed out while driving her car; On the way home she started to feel sick; She had a small accident, hitting a street sign; The next day she started having respiratory symptoms and spent the day in the ER because she was having difficulty breathing.”

Of the 23,615 deaths showing in VAERS following receipt of a COVID shot, twenty-one are “cases where vaccine is COVID19 and symptom is road traffic accident, and patient died.” See them at this LINK. Six of those cases clearly listed the cause of death as a car accident. Eight of those cases listed the accidents caused by heart failure, such as “giant cell myocarditis”. Five cases of car accidents did not state the cause of death. Two cases made no mention of a car accident whatsoever.

A search for every form of cancer in the Medalerts system that searches VAERS found 78 deaths. Here is the LINK to the cases. Many of the cases listed makes us wonder — why were patients on hospice and terminally ill given experimental COVID shots? Did adverse reactions hasten their death?
