New York eyes nixed COVID-19 vaccine rule for health workers

"In New York like in other states around the country, the debate continues over mandatory COVID vaccines for healthcare workers. The New York State Department of Health says it's exploring its options after a state Supreme Court judge struck down a mandate requiring healthcare workers to be vaccinated against COVID. The judge ruled that democratic governor Kathy hochul and the health department overstepped their authority by mandating a vaccine that's not included in state public health law. The mandate is null void and of no effect the judge said in siding with medical professionals for informed consent, a group of medical workers impacted by the vaccination mandate that brought the suit the health department says the requirement is a critical public health tool.

A dog missing from tennessee 2 years ago is found in New Jersey

"A dog that went missing from a Tennessee family around two years ago is reunited with them after being found in New Jersey last month. It was a happy reunion for the pace family and their two young children when they drove down from Tennessee to New Jersey to pick up daisy, their bloodhound after two years without hers as Brian lepay with the ocean county health department. She was all love and kisses and, you know, she's just a big slopper push. She was rolling on her back and the way to be petted. He says daisy's microchip was the key to finding her owners after officials found the dog in what they call a hoarding situation. They were close to a 180 cats and dogs in that house. He says many of the pets have been adopted any with microchips are trying to be reunited, which they did with daisy and another dog rocky from Staten Island. You never know how these animals, what journey they made or what Odyssey they took. I'm Julie Walker.

Welcome back to the program. There's a study out of Germany. You want to share with us? Yeah, it's actually an alert from the German health department. And you think it's bad here. Imagine you're a German citizen in the last two weeks. They told you, we're going to be able to help you heat your home this winter. And oh, by the way, yeah, that jab, we mandated you all take one out of every 5000 were estimating, creates what the German health department said, quote, is a serious adverse effect. Which vaccine was it? They did not specify which we was. It could be a combination therein, obviously AstraZeneca would be more prevalent in Europe than it's not here. But just to show you that those numbers are estimated low in our own vaccine adverse reporting system adverse effect reporting system, otherwise known as VAERS, there is more than that in just sheer hospitalizations that are reported on there. And if you know anything about VAERS, you've got to go through numerous pages of citations and stuff to report and adverse event, which leads to things being underreported there because it's not something that you can easily document in the system. It kind of weeds out people who aren't serious about reporting

Dr. Caitlin Bernard Did Not Report Rape of 10-Year-Old to Authorities

"And some big questions being raised about the ten year olds. It turns out there was a ten year old child raped. There was a ten year old child who had to travel to Indiana. I guess on her doctor's orders and I'm hoping there's a lot of scrutiny about this Ohio doctor. This Caitlin would ever her name is because number one reportedly the doctor did not report the rape to the authorities to child protective services to the police as she's required to do as a medical doctor and number two, the reporting out of Ohio suggests that the rapist is a Guatemalan illegal. Here's Jesse watters last night on Fox News pointing out the obvious. Ohio detectives did their part, but there's still a lot of unanswered questions. Besides the girl not needing to cross state lines to Indiana for the abortion and whether the alleged rapist immigration status played any role in the cover up. Caitlin Bernard, the abortion Doctor Who performed the operation in Indiana, has a legal requirement to report the abortion to both child services and the state's health department because a ten year old isn't able to give consent and is therefore a rape victim. And from what we can find out so far, this Indian abortion doctor has covered this up. Failure to report is nothing new though for doctor Bernard. According to reporting from PJ media, she has a history of failing to report child abuse cases. And our sources as trace mentioned are telling Fox that doctor Bernard's employer, Indiana University health, has already filed a HIPAA violation against her. So is a criminal charge next. And will doctor Bernard lose her license?

A Bipartisan Look at Opioids with David Carlucci

"I really want to point out on this podcast if somebody is opening up this podcast and they're listening to me and David talk about this. Let me just say this real quickly. These drugs that you're getting that relate heroin and others that are being life. It could be your one time. It doesn't, you're not going to be 6 years strong out and then all of a sudden hit one. You could do this the first time and I think this is the important part. You know, we can have differences on how we actually live with marijuana or cannabis, those kinds of things. But one of the things that we struggle with in Congress, David, and I know it came back to a state level, was the access to opioids that came out of basically legal prescriptions. And that sort of triggered off this sort of latest round about ten to 12 years ago when, you know, whether it be more health insurer plan, whatever the doctors were prescribing them is if, frankly, they had no effect. I think we're getting a handle on that, but we're still feeling the after effects from what I've seen. I don't know how that was in New York. It is Georgia and other places. No access to opioids, like OxyContin, you know, have just really exacerbated the situation. And we look at former marketing materials that made opioid seem like they were not addicted. The total opposite, right? It's one of the addictive substances on earth. And you're absolutely right. This is not a recreational drug. You know, this isn't a joint and hanging out. Opioids are a serious, serious addiction. And I remember naloxone or Narcan, the brand name accessible. And this was about the commissioner of the health department of New York State that I was in a back and forth because at that time you needed a prescription to carry naloxone, which is the opioid antidote. And if we get it in someone's system or rise up. So we actually had to pass New York and we were the first state to do this to say that naloxone would be accessible over the counter doing that legislation. It didn't need to be legislated, but it wasn't being done through the health department. The health department could have issued just like they do to issue vaccines for the flu or other issues like COVID, what we've seen with vaccines. But that's where it gets back to the

"We have talked about the need to not only make sure that we're shipping vaccines over but to get into end distribution. So how do you get the vaccines not only to the country into the public health department but then help the public health department to get them into people's arms so it really depends on which country were talking about and A country like india has a very strong public health network. If we just got the vaccines to them they would be able to distribute them. That is not the case in many other countries okay. Final question representative john. Paul and thank you again for joining us here at geekwire. What should be at the top of washington's wishlist when it comes to infrastructure from the federal government funding from the federal government. Well it depends on how you define infrastructure. I just have to start with that. Because i don't know if infrastructure is being not only roads and bridges but everything that you need to get on the road that means childcare that means community so that people can get training so to me. It's all one big picture but in terms of physical hard infrastructure What i believe is that we have to address all of the pieces of infrastructure that that have crumbled underneath us that is not just roads and bridges. It is also our lead waterpipes. We need to get drinking water clean. We need to make sure that we are investing in green energy solutions including electric vehicles transit. All of the things that allow us to take on climate change at the same time and then on the other pieces of infrastructure our priorities electric vehicles transit. All of the things that allow us to take on climate change at the same time and then on the other pieces of infrastructure our priorities are around the cure economy making sure we get childcare. Paid leave making sure that we allow people to get the training so they can get into these infrastructure jobs by having free community college and then of course addressing the healthcare needs and taking care of our essential workers last one that's important for our region and across the country is housing infrastructure. We should be building green Affordable housing across this country. Taking care of the backlogs that exist in repairing housing public housing projects and school infrastructure. So i consider all of that to be part of what we're doing in this build back better package that we are going to deliver to the president with the reconciliation bill. The bill back better.

"Slowing down. But public health officials urge against complacency is a new threat has emerged. And that's variants of the coronavirus that seemed to be more transmissible and may Evade some treatments and vaccines. NPR health correspondent Rob Stein joins us now, Rob, Thanks for being with us already thought Way just can't seem to catch a break with this virus. Please bring us up to date on the latest battle these variants. Yeah, You know, Scott. Every time scientists think they have a handle on this virus seems to surprise them again. And like you say the emergence of these strains is the latest curveball. First, the U. K detected a variant that spread like wildfire through London, even though is locked down its now spreading in at least 29 states in this country. Then two other various responded one in South Africa and one in Brazil that also look like they're more contagious. The one from Brazil was found for the first time in this country earlier this week in Minnesota, and just days later, health officials announced two people have caught the one from South Africa completely independently in two different parts of South Carolina. So it appears that variance been quietly spreading in that state and probably other parts of the country. So all three of the variance that scientists are most concerned about are here. Now. Here's what Dr Anthony Fauci said about all this during a briefing yesterday. This is a wake up call to all of us. That we will be dealing as the virus uses its devices to evade pressure that we will continue to see the evolution of mutants. And you know, those aren't the only variants. Scientists are studying one that's taken over in Los Angeles to figure out if whether that spreads faster, too. But as we're given understand it robbed the speed with which he's very in spread isn't the only reason scientists are so concerned, is it? No. The British government says the UK strain might also make people sicker now. That's far from clear yet, but, you know, regardless, if these strange spread faster than more people get infected, and more people will end up getting sick and dying. And that's not all some of those marble pool and a body drugs may not work as well against them. And the big worry is, these variants may have evolved the ability to out with the vaccines. What about the vaccines that so many people are getting and trying to get now? Will they work against these strings? Well, you know, there are laboratory studies that suggest this shot people are getting made not work as well against the variant from South Africa in just in the last couple of days to drug companies reported some unknown Irving findings about two new vaccines. Ah company called Novavax reported that its vaccine appears to be far less effective against that string, too. And Johnson and Johnson reported the same thing about it's one shot vaccine. No, no, it's important to remember that scientists are stressing that all the vaccines still appear to provide pretty good protection and do appear to keep people from getting really sick and dying. But the protection just doesn't look like it's quite a strong NPR health correspondent Rob Stein. Thanks so much, you bet Scott. America's vaccination campaign now relies on local public health departments, and they have been strained one Montana community. In fact, an entire staff of the county Health Department quit is Montana Public Radio's Aaron Bolton reports. That slowed vaccination efforts. As covert 19 cases skyrocketed. Last fall, Niki Sullivan was working 90 hour weeks as the head of the Health department serving the 6000 people in pondering county. That's one reason she quit in November. The main reason was that I resigned was just the lack of support from our county officials. Sullivan says County commissioners failed to be role models in the community by not following a state mask directive and other covert mitigation measures. We have business owners telling us that they were in a fold, quarantine and The commissioner's didn't support us in enforcing those quarantine orders. And our county attorney said that she wasn't willing to and wasn't going to enforce in quarantine and isolation orders so live in three employees also quit leaving the Health Department empty several weeks later. County Commissioner Dale Seifert, wearing a mask says county leaders weren't opposed to Covad mitigation measures and thinks compliance with health directives has improved. He attributes the fallout with former employees to a lack of communication and the workload. We've restructured the health department now the where we've spread the load out more Among the employees. Because we were over working on Lori Freeman with the National Association of County and City Health officials says Pondering county is not alone in having pension between local elected officials and public health workers drop this pandemic at a time when public health leadership has been really needed the most in communities. We've also seen public health be very politicized, she says. That's a big reason why across the country roughly 200 public health leaders have quits. Since the pandemic start and a number of support staff When we have that turn over, we're bound to see some associate ID cost with that turnover as well in terms of our ability to keep the community safe in pondering county, that means.

And he got to the end of the day and there was nobody left to receive the vaccine. But the vaccine vile had already been punctured. So there were 10 more shots to be administered. Nobody left in line. So, according to his lawyer, who was our guest. He started looking for people to administrate, too, because these things go bad very quickly. Well, eventually he administers it to everyone, including his wife, who has co morbidity is she's rather sickly already. He the next morning comes in and puts all the information in the system. He doesn't try to hide it. Harris County District attorney Who doesn't bring charges against murderers, Mind you. Brings a charge against him. Well, I had the lawyer on this morning and you're going to hear from him in just a moment. There's a postscript to this story after we had him on the Harris County District attorney's office decided To drop the charges. That's not gonna be enough. During the discussion, you're going to hear a conversation about The fact that the doctor says he was told by officials within the public Health Department to throw The extra vaccine in the trash, not vaccine Other don't vaccinate other people throw it in the trash. Here's that conversation just to catch it back up real quickly. Dr Go call had the that he has a violent as one vial left. Is that right? That's been punctured, so it has to be used within six hours, right? That's correct, and there's nobody there's nobody else in line to receive the vaccine. That's correct, and there's no first responder. So does he have a protocol yet as to what to do when they once they punctured, and there's other people as to what the priority list should be. Good question. The state Department of Health and Human Services Dr Jennifer Shu for made it very clear that you've got a 2 to 3 step process number one signed one A and one B. If you can't find anybody, and you've got Left over that vile. Get it in somebody's arm. We want to vaccinate. Don't let it go to waste is one a first responder. Correct and one B is compromised immune system are over 65. Rhett, and there's a round of those left. Correct and keep in mind. He works for the county Department of Health, not a hospital. So if he were it's seven o'clock if you were to take it back down to the med center, he blow another Alan a half two hours to take it on a Tuesday evening at nine o'clock to do Nobody. So where was this going on? This was that Lindsay Lions Park and humble Was this A This isn't a medical facility. This is just a remote vaccination location. Right? It was a can't you know the sun had gone down. It was a lot of drive up traffic. Um and and keep in mind. Their computers weren't working. So hypothetically if there was a list, which there wasn't I didn't have access to it. So what he does knowing the clock's running is he starts to call people who may know of people who It's the one A and one B category and that's a provable fact. We've got records of those phone calls. Witnesses who will say that No, he entered him The next morning. He informed the county exactly what he did. He was proud of his. And what did he do? What? What exactly did he do? He literally went driving around the room. There's an elderly couple that he helps medically he gave it to them. That was 96 year old gave it to an 88 8 year old Ah, 40, year old with comb, abilities and innovated child. The list goes on. He administered 10 doses. Okay. He did give his wife a shot. Ultimately the last one with 15 minutes remaining on the vial. And he had someone else who was supposed to come. That person canceled, so he administers it to his wife, who has Pullman or pulmonary sarcoidosis and qualifies under the one B category. Okay, so he uses up all the Doses at this point. Right? Uh, seven days later, he's terminated and he asked him why? And they said You should have taken it back here. And he said, Well, what would we have done with it? There was a time show. You should have just thrown it away. Who tells him that? The director of human resource is there with the county. You should have thrown it away. And then they tell him that the next morning No. They tell him that seven days later when they abruptly terminated, Okay, But he didn't hide the fact that he that he had given the shots and to whom he had given him right, Because what I had read somewhere that he told somebody that he within the department team the next morning. Because you have to document it in a system called in the unit tracks and there's forms. You have to spill out all of these forms. They were filling out manually because their computer system was down. But the next morning, it's completely documented. Completely transparent. He was just glad he didn't waste it. And so the following day, the next morning when he comes in and enters it in there. So there's a record as to what he entered and when he entered it. Absolutely okay, so he didn't deny it And he didn't sell any of these. There's no personal gain that the vaccine is free to the to the consumer to the patient, right? It's worse than that is his 76 year old dad lives next door to him. Okay. If it was a friends and family party, why didn't he get it? In fact, they had another. Right that this was a Tuesday that Saturday that his dad signed up for the computer system was working. His dad waited in line for two hours. Only to be told when he got up there. We're out of vaccines. And Dr Gogol was administering the vaccines. Okay, So if that were his M o. Why didn't his dad get one? He was just faced with a situation that the county wasn't prepared to deal with. This was the first time that they had got this event, and he had 10 leftover, so instead of doing what they wanted him to do. Throw it away.

"Of the Corona virus has been politicized. The lockdowns. The economic Destruction that has occurred. Intentional toe hurt the trump economy. So much virtue, signaling the wearing of the mask in front of the camera, and the minute the cameras turned off than taking it off and having a conversation because they don't really believe any of it.

To throw The extra vaccine in the trash, not vaccine Other don't vaccinate other people throw it in the trash. Here's that conversation. So process. All of the people that the Harris County District Attorney's office doesn't prosecute under Kim Ogg. And then you begin to wonder. Why are they making such a public show of going after a Harris County public health doctor accusing him of stealing A vial of the modern, A covert 19 vaccine for friends and family. Well, they sure made a show out of the fact that we're prosecuting this guy. We're going after him. But his attorney, Paul Doyle, full disclosure. Personal friend of mine says there's more to this story. So, Paul, why don't you start us off with your client? Dr. Hassan? Go call. And what, exactly what he did, and then how he ran afoul of the Comandante and Kim Ogg well, first, so he didn't run afoul of of anything. They've accused him of it. And it's worse than the press release. They've accused him of Basically secreting a vial of vaccine and then taking them to all of his friends and effectively having this vaccination party with the Harris County citizens have paid for it. The factions like a lot of fun. Everybody line up. Here's your shot. Right right in. The sad reality of it is that Dr Koco was made aware that he had been accused of being a thief on Thursday. After the D A's office filed a sealed misdemeanor complaint and ran a national story that hit you Know, Fox Nationally, the AP CNN, where they In one fell swoop. Just absolutely disparage his reputation and by the way They never even got his side of the story. In fact, judge held ago's office refers this over to the D A's office and well within eight business days he has been accused of a crime nationally. And when you hear what actually happened, it's gonna It's gonna cause great concern for the lack of thoughtfulness. And do Diller. You ready to tell us what actually happened? You got it. OK, so tell us what happened. And then we'll get to what the Comandante did. And what Boss Hogg did. So what happened is on December 18th Madonna vaccine was approved for emergency purposes. Okay. On December 22nd the state comes in, and they they're going to provide vaccines to County. They issue protocols on how these vaccines, uh, will be provided. The Harris County Public Health Department who where doctor doctor yokels employed, um set up a site out at Lions Park and humble Where they were going to do their first rollout. This is December 29. Okay, that this was not well publicized. The computers didn't work, but Regardless that they got out there and they started administering vaccines at starting at 7 A.m. all the way through 7 p.m. at night. Dr. Koco was out there the whole time. Now important fact which unfortunately, the D A's office wasn't aware of this before they file these charges and the investigators involved which is shocking to me, but If you puncture the donna vials, Okay, there's about 11 doses per vial. Once that vial is punctured, you have six hours to administer all of those doses. Okay. The sun has gone down. They had their last person come up. I think they administered close to 300 that day. But last person in line comes up. They have they puncture a new vial. They have 10 remaining doses. So, Dr Gogol. Starts looking around to figure out who they can administer these doses to they first look at the law enforcement members that are out there, most of which had already received it. They've been look at the frontline medical workers who are out there who had all received it. And He didn't have anybody. Hold right there. All right there. We'll.

"Only to get information but to get the vaccine they had since really march to plan all this. Yeah. I mean, I think that's you know the question on everybody's mind right now, and it's it's. Of course, it's a really, really complicated situation is kind of the simple way of putting it. Um, you know, I think what what it comes down to really is California is a Huge state. It's basically its own country that's trying to launch this vaccination campaign. It's very diverse, not just in terms of the population, but just in terms of the structure kind of The politics and the cultural and how we deliver health care. And all that just kind of plays out and you know, Yes, there was We've had since March to think about this, But, you know, I don't I think that the public Health Department and the political leaders have kind of had their hands full since then, with You know, handling a pandemic? Not to say that that you know there wasn't there weren't some mistakes. I mean, it seems like you know, I'm with everyone else. It sort of is baffling to me that there wasn't more preparation done. We all heard about these vaccines coming well in advance, So at the very least, you know there. There should have been some more steps taken, but it is a very complex picture. Do you know it's things like the fact that the state is now open it up to 65 older people within 24 hours were furious that they couldn't get information on where to get the vaccine and that there were long lines and they couldn't get through their providers. I kind of want to just, you know, Say it, It's you know, I think it's going to take each of these faces. You know, a little bit of time Tol work itself out, right? So you you might be like, a few days or even a couple of weeks before we get some of these. These big providers who just I mean, they're not anymore well informed that really any of the rest of us, which is a big part of the problem, too. Issue of communication and transparency. So you know when a When a county here's on, you know, Tuesday night, maybe you know, an hour ahead of the rest of us that they're gonna be able to offer it to people 65 up. They don't have a lot of time to figure out how they're going to reach those people. So I think you know, some of this is just people are really they're scared. They're frustrated. We've been in this situation for so long, and we just want to find a way out of it, and they're really, really eager to It's great. They're really eager to get vaccinated, but they're really excited do that and they want. They want answers, and they want it fast. And that's understandable. But I do think we need to be. We're gonna have to exercise a little bit of patients here. Is some of the takeaway I've gotten. Unfortunately, some of the patience is wearing thin, but you mentioned the size of California. There's also Other problems with funding. There's problems with the supply of vaccine was communication. More people need to be actually trained on how to vaccinate but the same institutions that are trying to manage testing. And contact tracing and supports where people are the ones that are managing vaccine distribution. I'm just wondering what you think about maybe well having the vaccine doses Handing it over to health care providers. It would seem like that would be at least a reasonable way to go with them. I'm in healthcare providers with the same ones that are dealing with the surgeon. A lot of ways. I think that s O. I mean, the idea of your right there. What we what we need really? And what we talked about is sort of building up this army of vaccinators, But you know, like you pointed out, we've already built up an army of testers, an army of contact tracers. You know, where do you pull the next army from? And I think that that's that's what they're working out now, and that's where some of the very legitimate criticism comes..
