"'I support stopping the vaccine,'" Sac County Supervisor Sue Frost said

Board of Supervisors COVID-19 risks warning public comment, delivered by Ronald F. Owens Jr., August 6, 2024

"On February 22, 2019, I awoke and felt chest pain. It hurt to breathe. I thought I had indigestion or pulled a muscle.

"I was going to take aspirin. But at my age, I decided to get myself checked out.

"After undergoing several tests at Kaiser I learned that I had blood clots —not in one, but in both lungs. I was immediately admitted to the hospital and was treated. I was on blood thinners for several months.

"If I took aspirin and went to work that day, I may have died.

"Fast forward to now. If I take COVID-19 vaccine, I may die.

"How many have had my pre-existing medical condition and died from blood clots, after taking COVID-19 vaccine?

"As an employee I repeatedly warned California Department of Public Health leadership about COVID-19 vaccine risks. They made it about me, and not about forty million Californians. I retired so this information will not be muzzled.

"On July 23, I emailed you a five page memo, and on July 29, I emailed a five-page memo to California’s 57 other County Boards of Supervisors.

"Those 58 memos urged 296 county supervisors to stop offering COVID-19 vaccines.

"If anyone is injured or dies receiving COVID-19 vaccine after July 23 from Sacramento County, or after July 29 in California’s 57 other counties, family could legally claim Supervisors failed to perform their duty under Health and Safety Code 101025, and failed to exercise due care to avoid harm to vaccine recipients."
