Unelected health officials in the state of Washington have filed a bill that would involve deploying “strike force” teams to round up and “involuntarily detain” unvaccinated families.
The proposed agenda, called WAC 246-100-040, was revealed during a recent Zoom meeting by the Washington State Board of Health. The bill would amend state law to allow residents as young as five to be detained by the state and sent to Covid-19 quarantine camps.
The proposed revision under Washington’s Communicable and Certain Other Disease Act outlines specific “Procedures for isolation or quarantine” that are incredibly tyrannical and discriminate against unvaccinated people.
A local health officer would be granted power to “issue an emergency detention order causing a person or group of persons to be immediately detained for purposes of isolation or quarantine.”
The bill further states that health officers would need to provide documentation proving that unvaccinated citizens of Washington subject to detention have denied “requests for medical examination, testing, treatment, counselling, vaccination, decontamination of persons or animals, isolation, quarantine and inspection and closure of facilities” before they would be given the thumbs up on sending people to the covid camps.
According to reports, the amendment would also allow health officers to deploy law enforcement to assist with the arrest of Washington residents who fail to comply.
The amendment goes on to provision that “a local health officer may invoke the powers of police officers, sheriffs, constables, and all other officers and employees of any political subdivisions within the jurisdiction of the health department to enforce immediately orders given to effectuate the purposes of this section in accordance with the provisions of RCW 43.20.050(4) and 70.05.120.”
In the event of an “emergency detention order,” isolation and detainment of Washington citizens who do not comply would be allowed “for a period not to exceed ten days.”
Those who continue to refuse treatment or vaccination during the seven-day period could be held “for a period not to exceed thirty days.”

There you go again. “Deflection” “Accusation” You Keep Using Those Words, I Do Not Think They Mean What You Think They Mean. I hardly deflected, as my comment was on point, not about some extraneous subject. I made no accusation. I merely refuted your claim with facts. You countered with your conspiracy theory.
No, we aren’t sensitive. You guys are. You are also the ones who appear frantic.
If there is ever a serious effort to set up said camps, I’ll break out my torch and pitchfork. Right now, there are no such serious efforts.
Have a pleasant evening.
Forgot the WA health code links:
https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=246-100 (1990)
and
https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=246-100-040 (revised 2003)
And so it begins.......
Well done. See also my #32. There had been pressure from AIDS advocates and gay activists.
I'm sure this is just a coincidence. Particularly coupled with certain indiscreet contractors...
They have been using it as a place for people who have Covid and nowhere else to stay since May:
After erecting a fence around the hotel, the state then reopened it for its purposes on May 7. Health officials said the hotel serves people who don’t have a place of their own to quarantine or isolate after they come in contact with COVID-19.
A wide gamut of people could fit that bill, said Cory Portner, a state health department spokesperson: a traveler at SeaTac’s airport who tests positive, a commercial fisherman at a port, or even a prisoner on work release.
The health department then transports them to the Centralia hotel, Portner said. Five people have already quarantined or isolated there.
“They need a place to stay if they do develop symptoms or if they have a concern for quarantining (elsewhere),” Portner said.
I object to the way they went about this, but it’s not exactly hounding people out of their homes, rounding them up and locking them up in a concentration camp.
Looks like it is getting a badly needed refurbishment (recent reviews not that great):
(It is the “Lakeview Inn” BTW)

Those changes to the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) were made early in the Covid pandemic.
There are some minor housekeeping changes being proposed in Legislation, but that is not what is being discussed.
I really hate FAKE NEWS, especially hear at Free Republic.

"Protesters descend on WA Board of Health after misinformation about vaccine plans goes viral"
"Online misinformation fueled a protest at the state Board of Health, with anti-vaccine activists and some congressional candidates claiming, wrongly, that the panel was on..."
I have used up my monthly quota of Times online stories, so I cannot give you a direct link.
It is my understanding that a public ZOOM meeting of the Department of Health specifically discussed the statutes that ransomnote posted.
Sorry, I had originally wanted to post that the law was passed years ago and decided to just say early pandemic. I was wrong, it was passed long ago.
Here is the direct link:
See posts #9, #14, #29, #32, #34 and others.
Thanks for the direct link.
If the Political Left is upset, something good must be happening somewhere!
How much of a step is it from "the hotel serves people who don’t have a place of their own" to rounding them up and jailing them for defying Inslee?
I can quote chapter and verse that the SS guards at Dachau thought that they were helping create a greater Germany. The families of the guards at Auschwitz KNEW they were serving the Common Good.
Apparently, your gag limit is pretty resistant.
Freedom is overrated.
Bring it on M’F*er.
There is a regional hospital in my city. Several hotels here are part of a system that houses patients from outlying counties who come to the hospital for daily outpatient treatments, like cancer treatments or dialysis. It’s a very nice thing. They voluntarily stay at these hotels. Partially funded by various charities, donations to the hospital for that purpose and by the hotels themselves.
The people staying at the Lakeside Inn go there voluntarily. It is a HUGE step from offering a place to sick people with nowhere else to go and arresting people and forcing them to go there.
No one’s freedom is being constrained. No one has been seized by the Gestapo and forcibly locked up. The people there are free to leave anytime they wish. Hardly Auschwitz. Nothing to hyperventilate about.
If they start arresting people and forcing them, then we can all get out our pitchforks and torches, and I will enthusiastically show up with mine. Right now, it’s much ado over nothing.
Still waiting for you to explain away the zoom call.
Nazi and Gestapo have already been used, time to drop the 666 bomb.
Maybe this is where it starts.
Just because a law has been on the books doesn’t mean they won’t tweak it to server a nefarious purpose (Patriot Act, anyone?)
I am old enough to remember people saying anyone who thought TPTB would mandate the vaccine were kooks
It’s the same nonsense over and over. Its classic misdirection. Instead of reporting the facts as they are (would it have really taken all that long to point out that this was written in a decade ago) and then presented reasonable concerns — they post breathless information from dubious sources that are inflammatory and inaccurate and then defend it.
And if you disagree it becomes a personal attack like the one you experienced. Welcome to what most reasonable freepers deal with everyday. If you are really lucky they make up some cute names and try and apply it to you Alinsky style but as long as you don’t care it becomes entertaining. And then as surely as day follow might the meme creatures whom add nothing show up to complete the conga line.
Take joy when a reasonable question draws this response as it only further demonstrates the true agenda of some.
