Reviewed/Approved By: serman City Manager 1 of 3 Reviewed By: Alan Fenstermacher City Attorney November 16, 2021, Item #3 From: To: cliffielek@amail.com Dave Grosch; Steve Vaus ADDITIONAL MATERIALS Subject: Date: Opposition to 11/16/21 Agenda Item 3 Tuesday, November 16, 20211:03:43 PM EXTERNAL EMAIL Dear Member Grosch and Mayor Vaus: I would like to encourage you to Vote in Opposition to Item 3 on the November 16, 2021 Council Meeting Agenda. I agree with the "Facts Matter" mantra that the Council Members continually quote. Accordingly, I would ask, what those facts are that justify the core nature for continuation Resolution to Continue the Existence of a Local Emergency Within the City of Poway (agenda Item 3)? All that appears in the published literature is a narrative of procedural issues and impacts which appear to be caused more by State Issues then COVID itself, but not one fact substantiating the actual core issue of COVID for which the State Of Emergency has been declared. Since we agree "Facts Matter": Fact: The true magnitude of COVID 19 continues scientifically to be ill-defined, unknown and or unsubstantiated. Fact: By the CDC's own admission, the PCR test has been inaccurate and incapable of separating the COVID from the Flu, making any claim that the massive number of purported COVID infections to actually be COVID and as such a Pandemic. Fact: There is no professionally based consensus that a Pandemic actually exists. Thousands of highly reputable Physicians and Scientists question the CDC and NIH's findings, efficacy ofrecommended treatment and oppose mandated measures even at the risk of the loss of their licenses and professional reputations. Fact: Multiply Proven Treatments with high efficacy and cost effectiveness are readily available Fact: The COVID Virus has yet to have been successfully isolated, which by definition is required to be performed under standards of Virology and under which the failure to do so has lead a number of countries to abandon their claim Fact: At no time has the Morbidity of this outbreak (of whatever its nature is) ever reached a level that exceeds other historical outbreaks with higher morbidity (for which no such measures were invoked) that would even remotely justify the infringement of all the individual rights which has occurred. The facts in opposition of a State Of Emergency now far out weigh its continuation. As such, I would encourage you oppose Item 3 and it its place, present a motion supporting a Declaration that the City of Poway is a "Constitutional Republic" as modeled the City of Oroville (https://sacramento cbslocal com/2021111/05/orovj lle-declares-covjd-independ ence/) that will fully protect the Constitutional Rights of all the City's residents. The true nature of a State of Emergency has never been intended to be a long term measure. In making it one its continual extension has become nothing 2 of3 November 16, 2021, Item #3 more then a Procedural Vote at all levels of Government. It needs to come to an end or be justified on current unbiased peer reviewed facts that all residents can and will have confidence in. The original request to "wear a mask to flatten the curve" referred to flattening a rise not a decline and never included an indefinite and undefined time line. Yet it continues even in the light of the major health issues arising from wearing them. It's clear by all measures that the CDC and NIH guidance has become highly political rather then scientific, so to continually refer to either's guidance as a reference point when more unbiased sources are available, has become ill-defined at best. I would love to have the opportunity to hear your positions in person and I thank you for your time. Best Regards CliffLelek 3 of3 November 16, 2021, Item #3
