From a doctor at John Hopkins..

THIS IS MY VIEW ON VACCINE MANDATES!
Dr. James Kelly, Virologist. John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore MD. 01/12/2022 "Among all the vaccines I have known in my life (diphtheria, tetanus, measles, rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis, meningitis and tuberculosis, flu, etc), I have never seen a vaccine that forced me to wear a mask and maintain my social distance, even when you are fully vaccinated. I had never heard of a vaccine that spreads the virus even after vaccination. I had never heard of rewards, discounts, incentives to get vaccinated. I never saw discrimination for those who didn't. If you haven't been vaccinated no one has tried to make you feel like a bad person. I have never seen a vaccine that threatens the relationships between family, colleagues and friends. I have never seen a vaccine used to threaten livelihoods, work or school. I have never seen a vaccine that would allow a 12‐year‐old to override parental consent. After all the vaccines I listed above, I have never seen a vaccine like this one, which discriminates, divides and judges society as it is. And as the social fabric tightens… It's a powerful vaccine! It does all these things except IMMUNIZATION. If we still need a booster dose after we are fully vaccinated, and we still need to get a negative test after we are fully vaccinated, and we still need to wear a mask after we are fully vaccinated, and still be hospitalized after we have been fully vaccinated, it will likely come to “It's time for us to admit that we've been completely deceived."

Hope everyone is having a great day.

Yesterday, the CDC ACIP vaccine advisory meeting. They met on approving the new technology injection, postmarket data does not come back to 2023 for this injection. They just recommended it for 6 months old to 4 when data clearly showed more problems with the vaccine group and placebo they just act like they don't hear it. From my experience after watching these meetings for the last 7 years nothing has changed and they are working for pharma.

Also, regarding Covid vax, FDA wanted to wait 75 years on the safety of this injection. Luckily, the people I have been working along side of for the last 7 years won the lawsuit. FDA wanted to wait till we are dead to know the truth. Go to this non profit and see all the lawsuits they have won over the years.

Icandecide.org
Note, really think about how little they are studying this new technology injection pushing on us and our precious children. There is so much details being cencored from the people.

Don't forget vaccines are a liability free product since 1986 because they were going bankrupt from all the vaccine injuries and deaths and almost a trillion dollar industry. in 1986, In vaccine company's got immunity they put Health & Human Services in charge of vaccine safety and They were supposed to form a task force, make them safer, and do reports. July 2018, Robert F Kennedy Jr won a lawsuit against Health and human services because they did non of this in 32 years.

Remember, Pharma owns the media and Facebook and...our censoring information.

Smear campaigns are a real thing make sure to not just take bumper sticker slogans and make them your thoughts.

Sadly, pharmaceutical industry has 3 lobbyists to one representative has bought the news, bought the schools, bought the movie industry every aspect of our life... celebs... teen influencer All these years everyone cheering about the "Me Too" Movement, but then throw it out the door for a foreign injection that we can't refuse otherwise one get segregated and discriminated. Equality curriculum thrown out the door. People kicked out of school or can't go into indoor restaurants if someone wants to say no to a foreign injection. This is all crimes against humanity. Watch Senator Johnson 5 hearings and you will understand and just MAY save someone's life if faced with decisions with VIRUS and Vax. World renowned doctor, scientist, a group of 17000+ doctors and experts screaming from the rooftops about what is happening in hospitals, and the real data not just bumper sticker slogans.

Everyone should watch this for their own families sake. Informed consent is smart to be able to make very important decisions.
https://rumble.com/vteasz‐covid‐19‐hearing‐with‐senator‐ron‐johnson‐worlds‐top‐scientists‐and‐doctors.html No one should be forced to wear a mask, test, or take a foreign injection to move around society. Products need to work for the person using them and a person shouldn't have to use a product to make someone else's work. We know vax don't stop a person from getting covid, does stop transmission and vax have same viral load as unvaccinated per CDC and scientists from all areas. Show it in the data from around the world ᩢᩣᩤ Masks and vaccines, testing are all EUA products. All this is illegal and wrong.

2 Stop all protocols and mandates. Needs to be freedom of choice. People need to use products and buy products that work for them just like the shirt you choose. You do you I do me. Seems reasonable. Especially when death is a side effect on the insert and breathing back your co2 and bacteria into our lungs in harmful. healthy free living individuals to be restricted and muzzled, tested And holding a job for an injection in injection and living in a mental fear is abuse And an abuse of poWer most of all.

I am now politically maroon. I was a lifelong Democrat until a few years. Look at which States are locked down, wearing masks, and look closely at which party is voting for government to raise our children. governmen berucrats pass bills giving 12 year olds the right to take a injection without parental permission.

This is only one of the examples of this type of legislation. Dems are voting for this. Only 5 states are in the "state of emergency" Our governor and mayor living the high life in immuno compromise Magic Johnson suite at SoFI.

Think about if a child is being fed propaganda by big Pharma who's in our schools, cartoons. shows..news get a vaccine and has a reaction and Parents don't know and won't be able to help them and and they are left with the bills and devastation of vax injuries and consequences.

Look closely and stop being a apart in this. Do the right thing now! Stop all mandates for citizens and city employees. Get on the right side of history.

These mandates will be remembered for being on the wrong side of history mandating vaccines on your amazing city employee employee.

Make an agenda item to make this right. This is caring about your city employees and city residents.

Make this right.

Freedom of choice,

If you do not support the truckers, IT’S OKAY because:

If mandates get lifted I would like to remind you.... you can still stay home. No one will rip the mask off your face, no one will force you to dine in at a restaurant, you can drop your children off at their leisure activity and wait in your car, you can still say no to family gatherings and events, you can choose to get whatever \/ you want, you can live within your comfort zone and NO ONE will stop you. We will not judge you for your choice ‐ we will just be glad you have one. That is the point of FREEDOM of choice. You might be comfortable where you are … but we are very comfortable moving on with our lives.

Dear City Council Members:

I am aware that you voted on this last month. I am writing to you now just in case you are considering voting on this in the
near future.

I strongly oppose the proposed vaccine mandate for restaurants, movie theaters, and other indoor businesses for the following reasons:

They are unnecessary; they are ineffective, and they are detrimental to the Santa Monica economy.

I believe they are unnecessary as the number of Covid cases in our country and in Santa Monica are in decline right now. Several
countries are beginning to loosen restrictions and mandates, including the UK, Denmark, and other Scandinavian countries. I assume
that restrictions and mandates will loosen in our country as well. Right now under our current Santa Monica policy of masking
indoors, things are going well. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

The mandate would also not serve the purpose for which it is supposedly intended - that is to stop the spread of Covid. It is not
an effective approach, as statistics are showing that there are many cases of Omicron among vaccinated people. Vaccinated
people can get the virus and can transmit it, so vaccination is not preventing the spread of Omicron. There is no point, therefore,
in requiring that people have the vaccine in order to enter restaurants, movie theaters, etc.

In regard to our economy, our business community has suffered greatly during the past two years. Santa Monica once had a
thriving business community. Under the tight restrictions of the past two years, many small businesses closed for good
Item 4.A

7 of 11 Item 4.A
02/08/22
2 because they were not able to serve the number of customers that they had served prior to Covid. They lost an enormous amount
of business and could not survive. The remaining businesses have been struggling to hold on. Part of what has helped them
is the influx of people from other parts of LA who would like to be able to eat indoors without showing proof of vaccination.

These are not dirty, disease carrying people. They are healthy people who have money to spend and would like to spend
it in Santa Monica. Why would we try to prevent that? Our economy depends in large part upon our small businesses.

We should do all that we can to not only keep them afloat, but to help them thrive.

In the end, I feel that it should be up to the individual businesses and the individual residents to take whatever actions they
deem to be the most appropriate. Some businesses have already made the decision to require customers show proof of
vaccination before they can eat indoors. That is their prerogative. For those Santa Monicans who don't feel safe eating in Santa
Monica because there is no mandate, they can go to the restaurants that do require proof of vaccination - or they can eat
outdoors. There are some residents who don't feel safe no matter whether there is a mandate or not. They still won't eat
indoors - period. That is their prerogative. Please don't try to play the role of big brother or big sister in protecting our
community. We are grown ups and can decide for ourselves what steps we need to take in order to stay safe. Furthermore,
our businesses should also have that right - whether they want to serve unvaccinated people or vaccinated people or
both.

So again, I urge you to vote against a proof of vaccination mandate if this matter ever comes before the city council
again. Thanks for your time and consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,
Mary Duprey, a Santa Monica resident

Regarding item # 4A for the City Council Meeting: February 8, 2022: Study Session on Mandating Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination at Local Businesses and City Facilities
I was unsurprised and uninspired to read city staff's recommendation NOT to implement a vaccine mandate for indoor businesses and city facilities. If it were a recommendation it would have been implemented earlier when positivity and hospitalization was on the rise, like the City of LA and other municipalities within California- near and far. Within the staff report there was no discussion of behavior change by implementing vaccine mandates, impact to ICU or contacts with LA DPH and local hospitals, or any endeavor to explain the 220 person staff outbreak and contact tracing outcomes of COVID-19 described in news reports.

By now, early Feb 2022, with positivity and hospitalizations falling, recommending the implementation of required proof of vaccination to enter local businesses and city facilities would be "too little, too late." Our Director of Emergency Services and City Manager, David, originally hails from the City of Berkley. That municipality currently has lower test positivity and lower COVID-19 hospitalization rates, yet has had since Sept 2021 a vaccine mandate for indoor businesses. Berkley also has a higher percentage of residents fully vaccinated.

As a city, staff must make recommendations to protect vulnerable populations, specifically children, immunocompromised, and those ineligible for vaccination from community spread.

Is city staff doing everything possible by not recommending a mandate? The emergence of new variants of COVID-19, such as Omicron, have been traced to areas where vaccination rates are low.

Today only unvaccinated city staff are subject to COVID-19 surveillance testing, not vaccinated staff, despite the risk of breakthrough infection of staff which can have negative knock on effects to their unvaccinated family members under the age of 5.

I urge the City Council and staff to have a robust discussion on this subject and direct staff to amend the list of recommended actions made in the staff report.

Mike Terranova

Hi Honorable Council Members,
I understand you are asked to comment on and review on the Study Session. (4.A) Please consider making changes to the language used by including and referencing:
 natural immunity which supersedes the vaccine.
 suggest that council members read peer reviews studies that confirm requiring multiple boosters will not harm or have negative efficacy on Santa Monica residents.  That the right to privacy is maintained in the same way that HIV and HepB status is private.  That there is always informed consent with the basis rooted in a right to choose WITHOUT  coercion, bullying or discrimination.
 That no guiding health agency has changed their definition of "fully vaccinated" to include the booster.  To cite the data to back up the claim that the vaccine provides the best protection against Omicron and hospitalization.
thank you,
Kind Regards,
Jane Rainsford

Dear City Councilmember and City Staff,

The PNA Board of Directors is writing this letter to inform you of our member’s viewpoint on your consideration in implementing a vaccine passport for Santa Monica. Although we appreciate the sentiment expressed by our Councilmembers to keep our residents safe we believe that a vaccine passport creates a false sense of security and works to create division within our City. If the City Council wants to keep residents safe, it should focus on improving public safety and addressing homelessness and mental illness that are rampant in our streets. Residents don’t feel safe in our City and are constantly being verbally attacked or in many cases physically attacked.

The City Council should focus on the issues that got them elected such as public safety, homelessness and economic recovery and leave the political theatre that comes with a vaccine passport for Sacramento and Washington DC. Thank you for  your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
PNA Board of Directors
