Camas resident Margaret Tweet shares her thoughts about reports of the serious risks of investigational COVID vaccines
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com
A Clark County Today poll question should ask, “Do you support offering COVID vaccines that are NOT FDA approved or licensed, with unknown long-term health and fertility impacts, with the risk of serious side effects to people 12 years old and up at school vaccine clinics with no parental permission required for all minors and no ID required for all vaccine recipients?
Ridgefield High School recently hosted a COVID vaccine clinic like this conducted by Clark County Public Health during school hours on May 26, with another clinic scheduled. The clinic was heavily promoted by ASB students using school resources like Facebook and school news announcements etc. Parents met with the Ridgefield Superintendent Nathan McCann prior to the first clinic with concerns about the serious risks of new synthetic spike protein vaccines for young people, who seem to be at low risk of harm from COVID infections. Students from other high schools were reportedly bussed to Ridgefield for vaccination, and it’s unclear if all parents of students from all schools invited were notified in advance or whether parental permission was required for all minors who attended the clinic.
Vaccine recipients /caregivers must be provided with a Pfizer EUA Fact Sheet or a J&J EUA Fact sheet PRIOR to vaccination, with the option to choose NOT to get vaccinated after reading it. The EUA statements note that “COVID-19 Vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction.” “Serious and unexpected side effects may occur.” And in the case of J&J, “Blood clots involving blood vessels in the brain, abdomen, and legs along with low levels of platelets (blood cells that help your body stop bleeding), have occurred in some people who have received the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine.” Many people have developed blood clots after COVID vaccination.
Deaths after Pfizer vaccination and serious adverse health events in teens have been reported to the CDC Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, VAERS. ChildrensHealthDefense.org reports on weekly VAERS updates. Per the latest CHD report, 329,021 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines, including 5,888 deaths and 28,441 serious injuries have been submitted to VAERS from Dec. 14, 2020 to June 4, 2021. Regarding death reports: 23% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, 39% occurred in people who became ill within 48 hours of vaccination, and 20% were related to cardiac disorders. A CHD search of VAERS revealed 900 cases of pericarditis and myocarditis reported in the U.S., among all age groups, following COVID vaccination as of June 4, 2021.
A May 24 news release stated, “The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is aware of reports of a small number of cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in some patients, post-vaccination.” A Healthy teen sent to ER after Pfizer vaccine shared his story. A Washington mom shared about her 17-year-old son who suffered heart problems after Pfizer vaccination. A 15-year-old in Beaverton, OR and others around the county have been hospitalized for heart inflammation after Pfizer vaccination. An Israeli Panel of Experts concluded that Pfizer Vaccine was ‘Probably’ Linked to Heart Inflammation. Many cases were reported among men 16-30 years old. A 22-year-old Israeli woman suffered heart inflammation, and died 2 weeks after a second Pfizer shot. Cases of heart problems in young military service members after COVID vaccination have also been reported. The CDC will Convene an Emergency Meeting on Reports of Heart Inflammation After COVID Vaccine in People Under 30.
Under federal law, schools, and universities cannot legally mandate COVID vaccines because they are unlicensed Emergency Use Authorization products which are, by definition, experimental. This May 4 Open Letter from a PhD to UW President & Regents by a UW graduate notes that, “In the first 6 months of the COVID19 EUA program, the deaths, AEs (Adverse Events) and hospitalizations are higher than all incidences of other vaccines on the market for the past 10-20 years. Recent EEOC guidelines do not supersede EUA regulations. University and college students have died after investigational COVID vaccinations.
Neither first nor second doses of Pfizer investigational vaccines are mandatory. In the Pfizer clinical trials of 12-15 year olds, some opted out of a second dose, and one 12-year-old girl who got a second dose was paralyzed. Boards overseeing the COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials are supposed to be independent of pharmaceutical companies, yet an ICAN investigation reveals shocking conflicts of interest.
Residents who are concerned should contact their school district, county councilors, state legislators and congressional representatives. Residents and families/caregivers of those who have suffered adverse events after COVID vaccination should report the incidents promptly to VAERS even if it is not known whether the vaccine caused the adverse event. Legal firms that specialize in vaccine injury offer information and legal assistance for those who have suffered injuries after vaccination, and for families of those who died after vaccination.

Anyone who administers medication to a minor without a parent’s permission should be in prison. Period.
How can we find out if the school had parents permission to give the minor students the vaccine?
If the author had proof that minors were given vaccines without parental permission I’m sure it would have been provided. Most people don’t fear-monger half way….. It’s kind of an all or nothing activity.
Go to the VAERS website and read its description. It is simply a reporting portal – there is absolutely no suggestion that it shows any causality between receiving a vaccine and a subsequent adverse outcome. It is meant to provide researchers with another source of data for analysis. You cannot use the raw data contained therein as evidence of anything.
That being said, yes there are small numbers of people who are in fact have negative outcomes after receiving the vaccine and that is unfortunate, Nevertheless, those numbers pale in comparison to the 600,000 who have died as a result of COVID-19 infections.
And you cannot conclude that the vaccines are not leading to these negative outcomes, prior to sufficient study of these reports. The number of adolescents and children who have died from covid is infinitesimal compared to the number infected. You cannot make reasonable risk/benefit decisions, without understanding the covid death rate in that age group and without full study of the negative vaccination outcomes. Not to mention long term outcomes which no one has even been able to begin to study yet.
Almost 5000 deaths due to a vaccine is a adverse reaction.
Source please — you can’t throw out a number without accreditation. A quick google search flies in the face of your false claim. https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/does-vaers-list-deaths-caused-by-covid-19-vaccines
If your using VAERS as a measure of how many deaths/severe illnesses have occurred, forget it. This site ONLY includes what voluntary citizens chose to use. There’s a lot of medical data that you’re required to fill in. Go to Robert Kennedy, Jr’s Children Health Defense and you’ll get a far more complete number of deaths/several reactions to any/all of these vaccines.
While I was not a fan of the vaccine being offered at RHS during school hours, I can assure you that they required parental permission and even called to verify the signature was that of the parent,
Parents at Prarie high school were not notified of the clinic at BGHS. I’d I did I would be there throwing a “peaceful protest” schools Have no business interfering with children’s medical, that is all about parents.
Excellent article! We need more of these! This news source (CCT) is one of the few that is actually allowing voices from the community to be heard! We have questions. We have concerns. And when the health and future of our children is at stake, we MUST be able to put politics and personal agendas aside and do what’s right for our kids.
Vaccination, especially with an EUA vaccine and one that is currently under scrutiny for serious health risks in young people, is a very personal medical decision between a parent and their medical provider. The schools are not only overstepping their bounds, they are opening themselves up to a huge liability. If there is a vaccine injury, the drug manufacturer will not be liable, the medical practitioner administering the vaccine will not be liable, but if the parent wasn’t PRESENT with the child, and the school didn’t do their due diligence to verify the parent’s authorization, you can be certain they can and will be sued if a child ends up in the hospital.
In so many ways, I feel as though the public schools are on a track towards self destruction. They are on a train hurtling towards a cliff and we keep jumping off the train yelling, “Stop! Please, for God’s sake, stop!” but they just won’t. They have got to start listening.
