For the meeting on February 22nd, here is the following item the Executive Council is set to approve related to Covid-19 spending:

ACTION ITEM

I know this is the same action item as the last meeting, but it’s going to take a repeated effort to move the needle.

According to government databases, one child under the age of eighteen years old has died with Covid in New Hampshire, while there are VAERS reports showing four children in the same age group died subsequent to Covid-19 vaccination in New Hampshire. These are horrific statistics.

Please email your Executive Councilor and demand that they pause Covid-19 related expenditures to the Department of Health and Human Services until the department retracts their recommendation to vaccinate children against Covid-19 and stops state distribution of these shots to minors.
