Dear City Council,
There should be little difficulty deciding what to do about this million dollar contract - a contract for weekly testing intended for 220 people. Because they are unvaccinated.
Because these 220 employees do what?
Transmit the virus at a higher rate than those who complied with your EUA mandate? FALSE Narrative
If you choose to claim you don't know better you should each be personally sued for your ignorance.
Fauci had to come clean with the fact that regardless of vaccination status, anyone can transmit covid
19. Here he is stating so in July 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP9iHyj1uiU Add to the overcrowding of hospitals? FALSE Narrative At the January 11th Senate Hearing CDC's Walensky testified:
"she has heard from hospitals around the country that “they had plenty of beds, but they didn’t have staff to staff them” and that preventing closures of schools and pharmacies were other top priorities." https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/decoding-what-biden-health-officials-told-congress-aboutomicron/ar-AASFZlX
Testing anyone at this stage is nothing more than A BIG waste of time and money! Leave the FEMA Million for the next Natural Disaster.
As of the week ending January 15, 2022 the HHS data shows that Omicron is the strain in 99.6% of all cases in the WEST. (SEE BAR GRAPH) What this means is that fully vaccinated people who tested positive in LA County for the week ending Jan 18th were 906% less likely to catch the DELTA variant from Jan 12-18 than they were the previous week. In fact, of the 138,185 confirmed
cases of Covid 19 in fully vaccinated people in the county that week, only five people may have caught the Delta variant. (SEE Yellow Slide and accompanying sources) On January 8, 2021, the CDC's Interim Director, Walensky, said that 3/4 of all Covid deaths occurred in people with 4 or more comorbidities. Here is the time stamped link to that comment: https://youtu.be/Pa7NiNkaUE?t=13 Item 3.E

According to the LACPHD, a total of 6,506,443* country residents had taken at least
one shot of the J & J or two of either the Moderna or Pfizer shots. (*"Cumulative Post‐Vaccination Cases, Hospitalizations, and Deaths by Report Date" HERE:

Fauci, on December 29th, told the public that asymptomatic people do not need to test post 5 day isolation period.
He also talks about what the tests can and cannot
do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAICMQ1D5F8 ( @ 2:28) Learn a LESSON from the POP UP LABS contracted by the SMMUSD, whose turnaround times have been just as long or longer than the LACDPH's isolation period (5 days plus one) for students and staff.

"During America’s last surge of the coronavirus driven by the Delta variant, people who were unvaccinated but had previously recovered from COVID‐19 were better protected than those who were vaccinated and not previously infected, a new study said Wednesday.
The finding is the latest to weigh in on a debate on the relative strengths of natural versus vaccine‐acquired immunity against SARS‐CoV‐2, but comes this time with the imprimatur of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The authors of the paper warned, however, against depending on infection as a strategy, given the higher risks to unvaccinated persons who weren’t previously infected of hospitalization, long‐term impacts, and death, compared to vaccinated people.
Indeed, by November 30, 2021, some 131,000 residents of California and New York had died from COVID‐19, the two states the paper, which used statistical modeling, was based on. “Viruses are constantly changing, including the virus that causes COVID‐19,” the CDC said in a statement. “The level of protection offered by vaccination and surviving a previous infection changed during the study period.
Vaccination remains the safest strategy for protecting against COVID‐19,” it added.
The analysis was also carried out before the emergence of the Omicron variant, for which both vaccine and infection‐derived immunity appear diminished, and before boosters were made widely available.

It used case data from 1.1 million people who tested positive in New York and California between May 30 to November 30, 2021, and used that to model inferences about the wider population.
Prior to Delta becoming dominant, vaccination conferred greater immunity than infection. But the relationship shifted when the variant became predominant in late June and July.
By the week of October 3, vaccinated people who did not have prior COVID were three to four times (in California and New York, respectively) more likely to be infected than unvaccinated people with prior COVID.

5 In the weeks of October 13 to November 14, vaccinated people who did not have prior COVID in California, were around three times more likely to be hospitalized than unvaccinated people with prior COVID.
Protection was highest among those who had both vaccination and prior COVID.
The study could however be impacted by an effect known as “selection bias,” since it excluded people who died, who were overwhelmingly unvaccinated.
Other research, including a notable paper from Israel in August, have also found that natural immunity was more potent than vaccines during the Delta surge.
But the US CDC had previously taken the opposite position, based on pre‐Delta data. “Further studies are needed to establish the duration of protection from previous infection by variant type, severity, and symptomatology, including for the Omicron variant,” the paper concluded." https://www.timesofisrael.com/natural‐immunity‐was‐more.../ Ann Maggio Thanawalla
