Health Care

Submitted By: yuiqwe1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
If you are concerned about the small increase in property taxes that will occur if the bond for a new health care center passes compare that to the significant increase in property value that will accrue by having a new high quality health care facility in the immediate neighborhood. You will more than make up for the tax increase if you avoid the expense of gas for one or two drives a year to Portland, Astoria or even Tillamook to get care.

Detox from ‘covid’ shots?

Submitted By: andynorris21@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
President of Moderna (formerly called Mode RNA):
“Yes, there has been an increase in myocarditis for those who have taken the shots”.
The guy in this video is the CEO (not president) and he is now a billionaire thanks to Trump’s and Biden’s trillion-dollar Big Pharma ‘covid’ scam. (Trump started the mandates, the shutdowns, and the vaccine production.) But making a billion-dollars off our suffering wasn’t enough compensation for this criminal, he made an additional 400-million dollars last year.
He got a billion of our taxpayer dollars for a vaccine that did nothing to stop the spread or reduce hospitalizations. Our money paid for the ‘development’ of these mRNA shots as well.
And he got this money despite admitting on Fox Business News that the lab-engineered SARS-CoV-2 virus contained a DNA-sequence PATENTED by Moderna!!!!!
Oh no, this is NOT a conspiracy theory, though many wish it was…
From his own new-billionaire mouth:
at 07:30:

Yup, and an increase in myocarditis (and heart attacks and strokes for the elderly, though not mentioned in this hearing on myocarditis in teen boys) from the shots:

The director of the health district in Wheeler ‘died suddenly’ while working out the other day.
He was in great health before the shots.
Then he began having heart problems his doctor couldn’t figure out.
Then, as I said, he died suddenly at NCRD while working out the other day. Was it from the shots? I don’t know, this isn’t a science experiment. But I know where I would put my money.
Healthy folks dying “suddenly” is a known thing in England and much of Europe.
But, for example, since Anderson Cooper’s show gets 8 million of its 10 million dollars from Pfizer, VAERS stuff (The feds “Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System”) doesn’t get any reporting. Don’t bite the Big Pharma hand that feeds you…
It’s safe and easy to pretend this new technology from Big Farma/Big Tech is just our polio vaccine or whatever. But if you put this junk in your body you might want to think about detoxing, though many think that isn’t possible.
Again, this isn’t science, but I know where I’d put my money.

Finally, we are all adults on this site. Since I started posting on BBQ after a ten year absence, I have received five pieces of insanely childish hate mail (I won’t out you cowards here) and someone called my boss, North Korea-style to complain I had become a ‘right-winger’.
I am the same true-liberal anti-war, anti-Big Pharma, organic, fierce environmentalist (wild animals way more desirable than humans, as I am clearly reminded after every time I post on BBQ), that I have always been.
What I see however, is most on the ‘left’ have abandoned classical liberalism and have embraced leftist fascism and totalitarian communism. The left has also become over-the-top intolerant, irrational, and childish. I can’t stress that last point enough.
BBQ is a community forum. If you disagree with something someone posts, the proper course of action, so it seems, is not to have a temper tantrum and then send hate mail to those you disagree with. If you have something to share, use your adult words and make your argument on the site, that’s how these community forums are supposed to work.
And unless you admire North Korea, you certainly don’t complain to the boss of someone who posts something you disagree with.
But if you must send hate mail, go ahead.
Your head might be thicker than my skin, but my skin is thick enough, I can take it.
In fact, I will confess, your hate mail has been quite fun…

Why ME for NCRD response to Erin

Submitted By: constanceforncrd@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
In response to Erin’s BBQ post of May 7th, regarding the MooVoter/Tillamook Pioneer Candidate Forum, and bringing clarity.

Many of you know I was a Board member, Officer, President of Friends of NCRD from 2008-2021. In 2019 I became President when tunnel vision for the pool project threatened the security of our Scholarship Program. Our newly elected board immediately rewrote our ByLaws to reflect Scholarships would be given priority funding. If you look into the Quarterly disbursements, you will discover the Youth after school program receives the majority of funding.

To be clear, I have never said the NCRD doesn’t provide Scholarships, I was a critical part of ensuring the Scholarship program remained strong. I stated the NCRD doesn’t do enough to promote Scholarships for those needing financial assistance. On the NCRD website you will see the statement ‘Scholarship assistance is extended to individuals in need of rehabilitative therapy due to injury or illness’. This statement alone implies Scholarships are exclusive, it says nothing about funding due to financial need. I also stated I would like to see user fees reviewed and the NCRD look into creating a sliding scale, creating Equity.

I hear myself in Erin’s statement of ‘not once did I ever have any feeling of un-welcomeness’. That WAS me and now sounds dismissive and promotive of the status quo. The status quo needs to change. I listen and I have heard many conversations of anger, upset and frustration. I am aware of them, the Board of NCRD is aware of them, the Friends of NCRD is aware of them and the NCRD is aware of them. I AM committed to listening for the NCRD becoming the best it can be, PERIOD! With me on the Board, we will create a safe space which will allow individuals to bring their concerns and have them addressed with honor, respect and completion, inside the context for the NCRD being the best it can be, for ALL.

My name is Constance! I ask you to vote for me, thank you.

Why I’m Voting ‘Yes’ for Local Health Care

Submitted By: nehalemhealthcare@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
A testimonial from a local supporter.

By Kelly Seaton

I am a third generation North coast resident. My grandparents moved here from Portland in the mid 80’s after retirement. My grandfather built their home and large separate garage on the top of the hill in Wheeler. He called it “Up town Wheeler,” and that’s how he answered the phone since I was a little girl.

My grandfather was an avid fisherman among many other things and deeply intertwined in the community. He was the mayor of Wheeler at one point. My grandmother was a really wonderful lady, an avid gardener and part of the garden club in town. They both were proud Lions club members and loved living out here on the coast. They finished building their home here the year I was born, so I spent my entire childhood traveling back and forth a lot from the Portland area.

My grandfather had many serious health issues over the course of his retirement. He would travel back and forth from Portland, Astoria, Seaside, Tillamook and other bigger cities nearby because of the lack of resources in this area for his medical needs. He had heart problems that lead to a pacemaker and liver disease in his end years. He was life flighted and rushed by ambulance many times throughout his time here as our local health system wasn’t sufficient for his medical needs. Moving away from the coast was never an option as they were deeply involved in the community and wanted to stay in their home they loved and built for themselves.

My grandmother had really ideal health until her late 70s when she developed Alzheimer’s disease. At one point, she was in the Nehalem Bay memory care before my mother pulled her out and brought her home to Grandpa where she belonged. My mother and a few of their siblings took turns caring for my grandmother for the remainder of her time here on earth. It ended up being 5+ years of my grandmother battling the disease before it took her life. During those very difficult years, my mother spent most of her week down here, from her home and family in the Portland area, caring for my grandparents night and day. She would get relief by a few of her siblings for a couple days a week. They traveled from Sandy and Raleigh Hills, OR. They all did whatever it took to make sure my grandparents got to stay together in their home where they wanted to be. This was a major sacrifice and a reality for many in this community. As it turns out, both my grandparents passed away within a few months of each other in the comfort of their home with their kids by their side.

My mother and stepdad had bought a home in Nehalem not long before my mom’s parents both passed away.

My mother then went on to living life for herself again, and it wasn’t long before she herself began an awful battle with cancer. They found when it was late stage 3. She spent the rest of her life traveling for her medical care to Portland and the cancer center in Astoria. This was a really unfortunate situation and something many will deal with as they choose to retire or live here. Lack of specialty care and access to sufficient medical systems and care facilities make this area really challenging for all. These things make it difficult for everyone and it’s important to recognize that we are all in it together. At some point, every person in this community will need health services or specialty care that we may or may not have available here and need to travel for. Our grocery store clerk, gas station attendant, bankers, farmers, and so on. Even if it doesn’t impact you or your family directly, it will inevitably still impact you.

I am now raising the 4th generation here in our community. I moved out here when my mother was diagnosed with cancer and my daughter was only 3 months old. We had a year with my mother before she passed from complications of chemotherapy and the cancer itself. I’ve raised my daughter here and stay with my stepdad where we have grown quite close as we share the grief of missing my mom. I plan to continue living in this community and my daughter is now in the Neahkahnie school district as a preschooler. We spent the first few years of her life traveling to Portland for her primary care and then to Tillamook for a short while. Then we landed at the (then known as) Rinehart clinic where we quickly realized we should have been all along. We are lucky to have such caring and wonderful health care workers right here in our little town. It took a little time and some recommendations from friends in town, before we found the right place for our needs. My daughter has some special needs and is being well taken care of, still needed to travel some for her.

The Nehalem Bay Health Center needs this upgrade we are voting for.

With all that said, our livelihoods are deeply impacted by access to healthcare. Our health care system in this area needs a major upgrade and overhaul to accommodate the needs of our community and aging population, my stepdad included. It is deeply important to me to do whatever I can to make this happen.

As a student of Public Health and future health care worker and more importantly, a mother, daughter and friend. We are the fabric of our community, and we need to care for one another. If there is one important thing I’ve learned in the study of Public Health, it’s that the health of every individual matters and makes a difference. Lack of access to healthcare is a major determinant of health outcomes.

We need this new upgraded facility, and we need to ensure we are all given a fair and equal opportunity to have good health and promote longevity. Traveling for care is both a privilege and a major added challenge, that many will be, and already are, unable to make happen. This means poorer health outcomes for our community and negatively impacts our population health.

We need our community strong, healthy and fully supported. This is why I’m voting “Yes” for local health care.

Don’t Portland my Tillamook

During times of economic instability, crime goes up – and crime has increased tremendously in Oregon and other big cities in this country, and also in smaller coastal cities and town. Fentanyl is here now! Many of the homeless are settling in our little coastal villages. There are increasing reports of thefts and home break-ins. I think we need more deputies. BUT the County seeks to cut six County Sheriffs Deputy positions already funded in a recent proposed budget. They want to transfer the money to a contingency fund where it could be spent on anything. They want a new city hall! Personnel cuts to the Sheriffs Office were the most financially impacted of all the county departments.
This is what I have to say about that: During times of economic instability, crime goes up – and crime has increased tremendously in Oregon and other big cities in this country, and also in smaller coastal cities and town. Fentanyl is here now! Many of the homeless are settling in our little coastal villages. There are increasing reports of thefts and home break-ins. I think we need six more deputies. My opinion of the county commissioners is not good. They are definitely not small business friendly and they don’t seem to be county friendly either. They want to cut law enforcers in a time of more crime. You can make a statement about this by sending an e-mail to: publiccommens@co.tillamook.or.us
