“COVID Update” from page 9

One statistic is similar: 79% to 81% of those who died had pre-existing conditions.

Why do people fear Omnicron?

They may have a pre-existing condition (diabetes, obesity, asthma, high blood pressure).

Half of Americans do, so they are at higher risk for severe Covid illness.

So are people 85 and older.

California reports 83.5% of residents age 5 and up have had at least one shot.

On the CDC Covid tracker, Santa Cruz County reports 91.1% of residents age 5 and up have at least one shot and 83.1% fully vaccinated.

Scotts Valley Schools

On June 1, the Scotts Valley Unified School District reports 48 active student cases and 5 staff cases. Scotts Valley High has 10 student cases and one staff case. Scotts Valley Middle has 9 student cases and one staff case. Brook Knoll Elementary has 10 student cases and 2 staff cases. Vine Hill Elementary has 9 student cases and one staff case.

The school district, with 2,183 enrolled, finished the school year with 461 student cases and 43 staff cases.

Santa Cruz County Office of Education, with Inspire Diagnostics, has provided a half million tests.

Cases in local schools peaked at 4,407 on Jan. 27, dropped to 44 on April 1, then rose to 832 on May 30. The 14-day positivity rate, 12.25% on January, dropped to .79%, then rose to 6.99%.

Fully vaccinated means having two shots (Pfizer or Moderna) or one Johnson & Johnson shot. All were developed for the initial Wuhan Covid-19 strain.

For Omicron, a booster shot is needed after the Pfizer vaccine, because protection against hospitalization wanes after three months, a Kaiser Permanente study of 11,000 hospital admissions and emergency room visits found.

Adverse Effects Database

In a 2022 report in the Journal of American Medical Association online, Dr. Matthew Oster of the CDC reported the government’s VAERS database received 1,991 reports of myocarditis after one dose of mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccine and 1,626 met the CDC’s definition for probable or confirmed myocarditis.

Oster’s conclusion: “The risk of myocarditis after receiving mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines was increased across multiple age and sex strata and was highest after the second vaccination dose in adolescent males and young men. This risk should be considered.”

Public health officials say the scientific consensus is that Covid vaccines are safe, but some are skeptical about relying on science from drug-makers, which saw profits rise in 2021. They point to the U.S. government database, https://vaers.hhs. gov/, where health care providers are to report adverse events after a vaccine.

The reporting site was created after Congress passed a law in 1986 protecting vaccine manufacturers from civil personal injury lawsuits and wrongful death lawsuits resulting from vaccine injuries.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, a 2005 law allowing him to provide legal protection to companies making or distributing critical medical supplies such as vaccines unless there’s “willful misconduct” by the company. This protection lasts until 2024.

The VAERS database lists reports of injuries after a vaccine, but there’s been no follow-up study to evaluate if the injury was cuased by a vaccine.

Renz Law, representing military whistleblowers, sued the federal government to lift the vaccine mandate for military personnel and appeals for passage of legislation repealing immunity for vaccine manufacturers.

“If vaccines are truly safe and effective no one should oppose this,” the lawsuit reads.

After mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were mandated for the military in 2021, cases of heart attack, pulmonary embolism, cancers, and myocarditis spiked dramatically, according to the Defense Military Epidemiological Database queries by the whistleblowers.

The Department of Defense’s responded that a glitch in the database affected the data from 2016-2020.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart, which can lead to clots, a stroke or heart attack.
