Tyrannical West Coast Governors Combine Efforts to Continue COVID Vaccines Push
California’s State Public Health Director Dr. Erica Pan, proclaims infants and toddlers, pregnant persons should receive COVID-19 vaccines
By Katy Grimes, September 4, 2025 8:07 am
The governors of California, Oregon and Washington are doubling down on stupid and dangerous – they are going to continue pushing the covid vaccine on your kids, and have created a three-state “health” alliance to do this.
Their Trump derangement syndrome is showing.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, Washington Governor Bob Ferguson, and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek announced Tuesday they will launch a new “West Coast Health Alliance “to ensure residents remain protected by science, not politics.”
The governors of California, Oregon and Washington notoriously were the worst tyrants during Covid, locking down their states, and imposing the most draconian mandates – mandatory masks, vaccines, mass job loss, closed schools, and coercing (forcing) children and employees to take the Covid vaccine to “get back to normal.”
Currently, California’s State Public Health Director Dr. Erica Pan, states that everyone aged six months and older should receive COVID-19 vaccines, “with an emphasis on protecting higher-risk individuals, such as infants and toddlers, pregnant persons and others with risks for serious disease.” (Pregnant persons).
What is their beef? This headline from Gov. Newsom in 2023 is a teaser:
They base their statement on “The Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup,” which California Governor Newsom created.
Gov. Newsom “formed” the Scientific Safety Review Workgroup comprised of nationally recognized immunization, public health, academic and other subject matter experts” in 2023, made up of the usual vaccine-pushing medical hacks trying to extend their mandatory “vaccine planning efforts.”
They claimed in 2023 that they “completed their concurrent and thorough review of the federal process and confirmed the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is safe and efficacious.”
And now these Democrat tyrants have formed a weird alliance to push back against the very necessary reforms made by real doctors and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to dismantle the Big Pharma control of the CDC, HHS and FDA.
Here is what the governors say in a Joint statement from Governors Newsom, Kotek, and Ferguson:
“President Trump’s mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists — and his blatant politicization of the agency — is a direct assault on the health and safety of the American people. The CDC has become a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science, ideology that will lead to severe health consequences. California, Oregon, and Washington will not allow the people of our states to be put at risk.”
Governors Newsom, Ferguson and Kotek are denying that the CDC lied about many issues during Covid, and that Pfizer has been completely discredited because of the rollout of the Covid vaccine without prior testing. Even Pfizer’s president of international developed markets, admitted in 2022 that its Covid vaccine had never been tested to prevent transmission, and admitted that the drug company did not know whether its Covid vaccine prevented transmission of the virus when it began rolling out the shots globally.
The governors’ “unified regional response” is to counter the Trump administration’s thorough overhaul of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The governors predictably call this the “destruction of credibility and scientific integrity.”
In June the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services removed the 17 sitting members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) committee and replaced them with new members. The goal was to restore public trust by totally reconstituting the advisory committee that makes recommendations on the safety, efficacy, and clinical need of vaccines to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., announced.
Here is more of the governor’s vaccine propaganda, courtesy of their “public health” ghouls:
Dennis Worsham, Secretary of Health, Washington State Department of Health
“When federal agencies abandon evidence-based recommendations in favor of ideology, we cannot continue down that same path. Washington State will not compromise when it comes to our values: science drives our public health policy. Public health at its core is about prevention —preventing illness, preventing the spread of disease, and preventing early, avoidable deaths. We stand firmly with trusted medical professionals and organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, as well as fellow West Coast health agencies — whose guidance remains rooted in rigorous research and clinical expertise. Our commitment is to the health and safety of our communities, protecting lives through prevention, and not yielding to unsubstantiated theories that dismiss decades of proven public health practice.” [emphasis the Globe]
Notably, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists pushed vaccines on infants, children and pregnant women.
The following statement is from California Department of Public Health Director Dr. Erica Pan, one of the most egregious deceivers during Covid, most notable for pushing the COVID-19 vaccine on kids and pregnant women. “Throughout the pandemic, Pan simply repeated the mandates of the CDC and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)” Chronicles reported: “It really helps protect the whole family,” she told KCRA in 2021.
“We have been working closely with local health departments, primary care providers, schools, and other community partners to administer vaccines to children,” Pan said. “I want them to know, again as a parent myself, that this is the way we can protect our young kids. I’m so happy and grateful that my teens already had the opportunity and it has helped me and them feel more comfortable to get back to their normal lives. It really helps protect the whole family. We’re preparing for the winter and people are coming indoors. There is likely to be more transmission of COVID-19 and this is an opportunity for kids to become protected. They have been waiting their turn patiently, and I think it’s really time. It is safe and effective. The vaccine trials that happened were done the same way with millions of adult and young adult and teen data before the pediatric vaccine trials – and went through all the same analysis with vaccine experts. And they all unanimously have agreed that the benefits outweigh any risk of the vaccine and that there is a real risk from COVID in young children.” [emphasis the Globe]
Except doctors reported then and now that children are not Covid vectors COVID-19 super spreaders, according to study after study.
Currently, California’s State Public Health Director Dr. Erica Pan, proclaims that everyone aged six months and older “should have access and the choice to receive currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines, with an emphasis on protecting higher-risk individuals, such as infants and toddlers, pregnant individuals and others with risks for serious disease.”
Here is Dr. Pan’s statement about the three-state alliance:
“The dismantling of public health and dismissal of experienced and respected health leaders and advisors, along with the lack of using science, data, and evidence to improve our nation’s health are placing lives at risk. California stands together with our public health and medical professional colleagues to uphold integrity and support our mission to protect the health of our communities.”
Erica Pan, MD, MPH, FIDSA, FAAP, Director and State Public Health Officer, California Department of Public Health.
“Stanford grad Erica Pan earned an MD at Tufts but as with Fauci it’s unclear if she ever practiced medicine or treated a single COVID patient,” Chronicles reported. “Pan boasts an MPH, but like Fauci her bio shows no advanced degrees in biochemistry or molecular biology. Like Fauci, she is not a virologist. Her MD and MPH are bureaucratic credentials like Jill Biden’s EdD.” (Dr. Pan’s bio)
And this statement from the Oregon Health Authority:
“Our communities deserve clear and transparent communication about vaccines — communication grounded in science, not ideology. Vaccines are among the most powerful tools in modern medicine; they have indisputably saved millions of lives. But when guidance about their use becomes inconsistent or politicized, it undermines public trust at precisely the moment we need it most. That is why Oregon is committed, alongside California and Washington, to leading with science and delivering evidence-based recommendations that protect health, save lives, and restore confidence in our public health system.”
Sejal Hathi, MD, MBA, Director, Oregon Health Authority
More Details from this new Alliance
“Our three states share a commitment to ensuring that public health recommendations are guided by safety, efficacy, transparency, access, and trust. The Alliance will help safeguard scientific expertise by ensuring that public health policies in California, Oregon, and Washington are informed by trusted scientists, clinicians, and other public health leaders. Through this partnership, the three states will start coordinating health guidelines by aligning immunization recommendations informed by respected national medical organizations. This will allow residents to receive consistent, science-based recommendations they can rely on — regardless of shifting federal actions.”
“In the coming weeks, the Alliance will finalize shared principles to strengthen public confidence in vaccines and in public health. While each state will independently pursue strategies shaped by their unique laws, geographies, histories, and peoples, these shared principles will form the foundations of the Alliance. Importantly, the three states affirm and respect Tribal sovereignty, recognizing that Tribes maintain their sovereign authority over vaccine services.”
CDC’s dismantling
“Since its founding, the CDC has been central to protecting Americans from disease. But recent leadership changes, reduced transparency, and the sidelining of long-trusted advisory bodies have impaired the agency’s capacity to prepare the nation for respiratory virus season and other public health challenges,” the three governors claim. “In a vacuum of clear, evidence-based vaccine guidance, manufacturers lack reliable information to plan production, health care providers struggle to provide consistent plans of care, and families face uncertainty about access and coverage.”
Except, as we have learned, “the Biden administration appointed all of the 17 sitting ACIP members. Thirteen of them were appointed in 2024. These appointments would have prevented the current administration from choosing a majority of the committee until 2028. The prior administration made a concerted effort to lock in public health ideology and limit the incoming administration’s ability to take the proper actions to restore public trust in vaccines.”
The California, Oregon, and Washington “condemned Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s removal of all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to science-driven decision-making.”
It appears the three stooges governors are reaffirming their goal of inflicting harm on children, and pregnant women. As we asked in 2022:
“Why are California’s lawmakers and Gov. Newsom pushing more COVID vaccines when COVID cases and hospitalizations are dramatically down, and the Omicron variant is dissipating? Why when other states and countries are ending all COVID restrictions and getting back to normal? And why when doctors report children are not COVID-19 super spreaders, according to study after study?
Remember, in California, state employees and legislative staffers were required to be vaccinated, even though Assembly members and Senators were not. As the Globe asked, If the COVID vaccine is really about saving lives, why isn’t the mandate evenly applied?
UPDATE: RFK Jr. questioned in heated hearing Thursday morning, Dems call for resignation. This is revealing.

That photo-op of Newsom…
Covid vaccine my ass and the truth be known it was just water or Chardonnay?
Anyone who voted for California Democrats are getting what they voted for. I have no sympathy for any of them. I DO feel bad for all the sane Conservatives who have to suffer with this.
Thank you. There are a LOT more Conservatives here in CA than people realize. We are FIGHTING back against this EVIL TYRANT.
Isn’t that Dr. Mark Ghaly administering the saline solution to our esteemed Governor’s shoulder?
Fun Fact: After stepping down as California Health and Human Services Secretary, Dr, Ghaly became a ‘Special Consultant’ and was paid $238,500.86 in 2024 in thanks for his years of loyal service in doing whatever the controllers asked of him.

That is the best news I have heard in a very long time!
These west coast governors are a danger to society.
Meanwhile practicing doctors and scientists are begging to stop Mrna injections.
If you do not follow Dr. Nick Hulscher, you should. The studies conducted all over the world are devastating.
Here is a sample:

He also has a very informative Substack and is part of the McCollough Foundation.
If the COVID shot is so effective why would anyone who gets it care if anyone else did not. So sad to see people being irreparably harmed by this shot by listening to the lies.
Yesterday another medical association led by Dr. Pierre Kory have written an open letter to the President of the United States to bring an immediate halt to these injections.

West Coast Death Alliance is more like it.
Now that’s the appropriate title!
These wicked people have had access to the same solid information and evidence of illness, disability, and death that too often results from their “vaccine” and other “recommendations” (mandates, they WISH) that anyone else has had. They know from the evidence that babies and children and young people in general are not at risk of death or harm from “Covid.” Of course MOST people are not at risk of death from “Covid.” But like all wicked people the world of these tyrants is an upside-down one and they are compelled to do the opposite of what is right, never mind “caring,” “helpful,” and “responsible.”
Why are they doing it and why are they now persisting in it? Maybe for “a mess of pottage” ($$$) or maybe just because they are compelled by their wickedness. If we say “because Trump,” it is really only saying that “Trump,” or it could be anyone with the same qualities, is “a cross to a vampire.”
Sure, we could say “forgive them for they know not what they do,” but there must also be consequences and justice. If any one of us purposely tried to poison or disable or murder a group of people or even one person, we would pay for it if we were caught by being arrested, charged, prosecuted, convicted, sentenced, and imprisoned. WHY on earth is this not happening to people who have an even greater responsibility and the power and authority to affect thousands, even millions of lives, who in spite of all press on with their murderous plans even in the face of the clear evidence that has been available to everyone for YEARS?
When I was in 4th grade in the 50’s, there were 3 triplet boys in my class who were my friends. One day there were only 2. I inquired about what happened to the 3rd boy and was told that the parents were Christian Science followers and didn’t believe in vaccines. The 3rd boy had died from Whooping Cough a couple days earlier. He didn’t have to.
Back in the 1950’s huh? Whooping cough, also known as pertussis or the “100-day cough,” is a bacterial disease that is highly contagious and can be fatal for infants. In fact, the majority of deaths from whooping cough occur in infants younger than 6 weeks old.
The whole-cell DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) vaccine wasn’t widely given to school kids until the 1960’s or 1970’s. It had serious side effects such as permanent brain injury known as pertussis vaccine encephalopathy. There were highly publicized cases of other neurological complications, including febrile seizures and, in some instances, severe epilepsy and mental regression. Public backlash against the vaccine and the injuries that it was causing led to a dramatic drop in vaccination acceptance rates and a surge in personal injury lawsuits, prompting the passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act in 1986 to protect vaccine manufacturers.
Not buying your vaccine fairytale.
Amazing.
Well done, TJ.
So you believe that the vaccine would have saved his life? I would advise you to do a lot more research and I don’t mean FB or Instagram, go and do your research about these vaccines and you’ll truly see they never worked, but what did work was very good hygiene and a good immune system. But if you’re sold into believing the o’clock news the don’t waste your time researching or reading the truth because it’s you they want to eliminate.
Oh please!!
I suspect we will find a direct connection between Moderna and Pfizer bank accounts to these governors.
Screw our freedoms!

It would seem state and local directors of public health have friends in higher office that are bound and determined to continue their overpaid and cushy jobs at taxpayer expense. I have yet to find one in even the most podunk county that makes less than $300K per year, which seems like a lot to be giving bad and mostly discredited advice.
Even ‘Dr.’ Barbara Ferrer is still gainfully employed by L.A. County, at a 2024 cost of $649,784.00, plus benefits.
What a racket.
The ranks and compensation of these operatives being increased rapidly: it’s as though harsh and stern dominion over the remaining private sector dregs coming to pass.
If you’re not a government employee you are a disposable.
That’s it Ted ——- it’s a RACKET.
And even when they are thoroughly exposed and raked over the coals they have somehow managed to stay in place. The most famous example, your example, Fake Doctor Barbara Ferrer, has been dragged out into the sunlight and shown to be unquestionably corrupt, never mind totally IGNORANT about the fundamentals of disease and epidemiological practices. Cannot believe she is still there.
As Katy Grimes reminded us, Hair-gel Hitler Newsom and his Democrat regime acted like Nazis by ruthlessly mandating that California state employees and healthcare workers had to be vaccinated in order to retain their jobs. The Democrat controlled states of Oregon and Washington had similar draconian vaccine mandates.
No doubt big pharma is providing lucrative financial incentives to the Hair-gel Hitler Newsom and the other two tyrannical Democrat governors to continue with this vaccine farce?
During the Senate Finance Committee hearing today, it was glorious to watch RFK Jr. expose Democrat Senator Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren for taking in nearly $900K from Big Pharma which caused her to explode into screaming finger pointing rampage towards him.
(https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1963635844121580011)
Then Democrat Sen. Bernie “the millionaire putz” Sanders jumped in trying to defend Fauxcahontas by falsely claiming that RFK Jr. had received money from people associated with Big Pharma when he ran for president. Kennedy rightfully laughed off this accusation and asked Sanders if he really believed the pharmaceutical industry supported his presidential campaign. Sanders admitted he did not, but accused Kennedy of being thin-skinned and smearing anyone who disagreed. RFK Jr. had previously pointed out during his confirmation hearing that Sanders had received $1.4 million from individuals connected to the pharmaceutical and health products industries during the 2020 election cycle, making him the highest recipient of such funds among sitting members of Congress that year.

I have observed clinics in which anti-Covid injections are done without aspirating.
This is a person who speaks plainly about such risk.

Thank you for the link @Skunked.
It is so important.
I was injured from a tetanus shot 6 years ago. I had nerve damage for many years, it fortunately has subsided. The silver lining I became very aware of vaccine injuries.
Your welcome.
Its starting to look like even if and when the science is clear that vaccines are not doing as much good as we thought and they are potentially even harming many, there is going to be a large percentage who will continue to ignore the changes in science and continue to follow the vaccine cult to its end.
At first, I thought this article was from the Babylon Bee.
It’s 2025 Democrats. The pandemic is over.
I’ll believe they believe their own BS, when Newsom lines up his entire family on TV, and a Republican doctor injects all of them with Covid vaccines.
When things don’t make sense follow the money. Then it will make sense!
I believe that institutions which claim to keep the secrets of mass human survival are inherently limited but often use science, in ways science was not intended, in order to persuade people into submissive behavioral unison. Always to secure some otherwise uncommon, psychological advantage.
That fact is, people expire to all kinds of natural and man made agents, some are deadly toxic and death is certain with momentary exposure, some not but when information is found to be either withheld, exaggerated or contradictory then I put myself in the position of a Floridian. Do I decide to leave my home before a storm to theives or not.
In the case of Covid, which by all listed signs and symptoms I have experienced twice, on my own like an obstinant Floridian.
Since then, I’ve concluded that with moderate effort toward optimal sleep posture, physical airway management, isolation, and warm nutritious fluids it was not as bad for me as pnuemonia/infleunza in my earlier medical history.

Is that Obama giving Newsom a shot?
Given this new information from West Coast Health Alliance, it is obvious that the entire California Legislative body needs to mask up immediately. Masks should be required in all California state government buildings including the Governor’s mansion.
