A Voice of Reason in Port Townsend, YAY. This is so Beautiful, as we are being segregated, demonized, bullied, harassed, THIS A Beacon of Light and HOPE, and AWESOME INFORMTION

THANK YOU PORT TOWNSEND FREE PRESS.  WE LOVE YOU !!! 

THANK YOU Ana Wolpin.  You have Restored My Hope and Love for Port Townsend. 

Below is an Article by Ana Wolpin, of the Port Townsend Free Press, a Voice of Reason, Fact, information and a Call out for Intellectual Humility for ALL.


'For nearly a year, the Leader, the Peninsula Daily News and other local media outlets have been censoring all voices challenging the official Covid narrative (see my February article “Of Covid Testing, “Misinformation” and Censorship”).

Then, on August 24, 2021 the Leader went a step further. Our local newspaper not only shut out civil, open discussion, it promoted demonization of and outright discrimination against the county residents it has been censoring:

“These dolts should be considered pariahs because of ignorance and intransigence. They should not work in offices or schools, should not be allowed in public places without proof of vaccination… Why is it taking so long to completely shut these knuckle-draggers out of civilized society?”

Thanks, Spreadnecks, for our COVID miseries”—an admitted “rant” from columnist Bill Mann—was riddled with name-calling and inflammatory hate speech. With no science to support what is now a political narrative to demonize the healthy unvaccinated (see Stephen Schumacher’s letter below), Mann declared the “anti-vaxxers” in our community the enemy, a scourge responsible for the “miseries” that have befallen the good and righteous vaccinated.

In response, at least six people sent letters to the editor (LTEs) that we are aware of. They are printed below. None of their letters appeared in the September 1st edition of the Leader. However a concerned letter from Stacey McCarthy was published.

“This kind of talk is what incites violence…
You have an opportunity to create a space for meaningful
dialogue at a time when it is desperately needed.
Instead you choose name calling…”

Rather than embrace that opportunity for meaningful dialogue, the name-calling continued. The following week the Leader again chose to withhold all six letters below. Instead five letters were published on September 8th cheerleading Mann’s vile diatribe and calling for everyone to get the shots.

A health professional whose letter was not printed called the paper to inquire about being censored. Publisher Donna Etchey assured him that the Leader prints all the LTEs they receive, a patent lie. His and the other letters continued to be withheld from publication in the weeks that followed. In their place, the paper ran more “just get the vax” letters.

“Bill Mann is to be commended” began one of the opening salvos, calling those who refuse the injection “a real threat to society,” like “say, mass shooters.” Another writer provoked, “The time has come to make some hard decisions about what to do with these people.”

Is the newspaper’s management proud to be egging on this vigilante mentality?

The Leader couldn’t be a more blatant propaganda rag for pharma’s narrative that we must have never-ending shots in every arm on the planet or we’ll never be safe. Get your injection is the message in every opinion piece, every cartoon, every news story, every letter about Covid it publishes.

The unvaxxed are “endangering the lives of others” say these misinformed writers. No matter that even the CDC says the vaccinated spread Covid as much or more than the unvaxxed. Or that the estimated 80-100 million Covid-recovered Americans who are unvaccinated have far more robust and durable protection against future infection than the vaxxed.

When history is written, it will likely be these Covid-recovered unvaxxed who are the true heroes in this saga. In the face of this leaky vaccine, those who developed natural immunity after contracting the virus may be our only hope for ever achieving herd immunity. But forget balanced journalism; the Leader will not allow these truths to see print, bent only on pressuring, cajoling and coercing more people to get injected with a dangerous, failed experimental product wreaking havoc around the world.

Freedom of speech is a thing of the past in Jefferson County. In a month of newspapers since Mann’s incendiary diatribe was printed, except for the initial token letter calling for meaningful dialogue in our community, not a single letter has been published that represents the 50% of Americans who see through this divisive fear narrative based on lies.

Who are these despicable “spreadnecks” – the “boneheads” that Mann and others would like to see purged from (im)polite society? According to researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, the highest proportion of “vaccine hesitant”—23.9%—hold PhDs. Nearly 74% of those refusing have at least some college education."
