This is shameful.
The woman speaking without a mask is Coffee County, Kansas, Health Department administrator Lindsay Payer informing the Coffey County Board of Commissioners that they will have to pay to hire contract nurses to administer the COVID-19 vaccine because all four of the county’s nurses refused to do so.
Payer herself spreads misinformation about the virus, comparing it to colds and the flu.
She outright lies when she claims that the vaccine was only studied in 45 people before it was approved. She is referring to the small Phase 2 study that Moderna did of its vaccine, which involved 45 people and found that the vaccine provoked an immune response in all the subjects who were given it.
That result was used to justify going forward with a Phase 3 study that began on July 27, 2020, and involved 30,000 people.
I’d be concerned if I had a relative living in Coffey County, Kansas, knowing this idiot was in charge of the County Health Department.
Public employees like Payer who do not want to do their jobs should be fired and replaced with people who will.
