Washington State’s board of health has received tens of thousands of emails about an agenda item that sparked misinformation accusing board officials of conspiring to create isolation and quarantine camps for people infected with COVID-19.
“Just to be really clear, our board meeting on Wednesday—there are no conversations about isolation and quarantine camps.” Washington State Board of Health Chair KeithGrellner said that the state board of health has received more than 25,000 emails about these bogus claims, with some devolving into threats.
Portland-based conservative radio host Lars Larson, adding that few of those efforts were “as terrifying” as the board’s plans to add COVID-19 to a list of diseases that would permit law enforcement to forcibly detain and quarantine Washingtonians., the board declared that its agenda for the meeting “does not include changes to isolation and quarantine policies nor does it suggest law enforcement be used to enforce any vaccination requirements.
The board said the advisory group was tasked with evaluating the vaccine “against the established criteria to develop and provide a recommendation.”
