Sheriff Villanueva won't enforce county's new mask order, claims 'not backed by science'

abc7.com

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles County's decision to reinstate the indoor mask mandate is getting mixed reactions, with some blasting it as unnecessary and others saying they are prepared to do what it takes to keep themselves and others safe.

County Sheriff Alex Villanueva was among those criticizing the county's decision to order masks to be worn indoors again, claiming the mandate is "not backed by science" and contradicts federal guidelines.

Villanueva was responding Friday to an order announced the day before by the county Department of Public Health. Starting Saturday at 11:59 p.m., all county residents are supposed to wear masks indoors under rules similar to those in effect prior to California reopening on June 15.
"Forcing the vaccinated and those who already contracted COVID-19 to wear masks indoors is not backed by science and contradicts the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines," Villanueva said.

45 Year Old John Hopkins Hospital Employee Dies After Reaction To Mandatory Covid Shot

Another tragic story and this time it involves a 45 year old woman from the state of Maryland.

Robin Spring Saunders had accepted an employment position with John Hopkins Hospital. She was a certified medic and was looking forward to working with autistic children at the hospital. Part of the hiring process for Robin however, included a mandatory covid shot.



Robin announced on social media that she had received her first dose on June 21, 2021. She also mentioned in the post that her job required it. Judging by her post, she did not seem enthused that it was a requirement but she did comply.

Not long after the shot Iona Sellers, Robin’s mother, had requested prayers for Robin online and stated “Robin had a reaction from the covid shot”. Robin was not breathing and was on a ventilator in ICU according to her mother.

Iona also made mention in her post that Robin needed the shot to start her new job.



Unfortunately due to heart issues and brain swelling from the reaction, Robin did not recover. On June 27, 2021 Robin Spring Saunders passed away. She leaves behind two children.

Robin’s funeral will be held on July 5, 2021. May she rest in peace and her loved ones be comforted during such a difficult time.

'Pfizer COVID vaccine significantly less effective against Delta variant'

At the moment, around 60% of the patients in serious conditions were vaccinated.

The effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine against the Delta variant is “weaker” than health officials hoped, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Friday, as 858 people tested positive for coronavirus and more countries were added to the list of places having high infection rates.

“We do not know exactly to what degree the vaccine helps, but it is significantly less,” Bennett said.

...Of those infected, 49 were in serious condition, five fewer than the day before. One week earlier, on July 10, there were 39. In April, with about 5,900 active cases, similar to the current number, more than 340 patients were in serious condition.

The likely explanation is that among the current virus carriers, some 2,000 are schoolchildren, and half of them were fully vaccinated. Both groups are very unlikely to develop severe forms of the disease, even though it occasionally happens. At the moment, around 60% of the patients in serious conditions were vaccinated.
