County Shuts Down In-N-Out In Pleasant Hill Due To Restaurant Not Checking Vaccination Status Of Customers

by CLAYCORD.com

In-N-Out Burger in Pleasant Hill was completely shut down (drive-thru, indoor dining, indoor takeout) by the Contra Costa County Health Department today after the restaurant refused to check the vaccination status of its customers, a company spokesman confirmed to Claycord.com.

The restaurant is expected to reopen tomorrow, according to the employee.

All other In-N-Out locations in Contra Costa County are operating drive-thru and take-out only. No indoor dining is available.

This comes just days after In-N-Out’s San Francisco location was closed for the same reason. In a statement to Fox News regarding the status of the San Francisco restaurant, In-In-Out said “We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” and said “Our store properly and clearly posted signage to communicate local vaccination requirements.”

This is the most un-American thing I can think of. In-N-Out is a great company and takes good care of their people. They pay more than the going wage and offer a career track to everyone.

Contra Costa County Health Department are pathetic fools. I hope Farnitano is proud. What a stooge.

I think this may be some kind of orchestrated effort to persecute In-N- Out Burger.
Other Bay Area cities have closed other locations for the same supposed reason. But they don’t seem to be picking on McDonald’s Burger King or Taco Bell.
Is In-N-Out Burger possibly a conservative owned firm that the covid Nazis want to pick on?

@Badge1104 In-N-Out is definitely conservative. On the inside lip of every soda cup is printed “John 3:16.”

The health department was punishing In N Out and setting an example to scare other restaurants. This was a lose-lose-lose move. The employees lost, the customers lost, the city lost (sales tax revenue), and the company lost. The Health Department cost all these entities solely so they could assert their power.

Closing the drive through was purely punitive as it has nothing to do with the “safety” of indoor dining. They’re just being nasty now.

Concord Guy October 26, 2021 - 8:02 PM - 8:02 PM

If they don’t check vaccination records of their customers as part of their practice of flouting local laws, they’re not a good company. Full stop.

Anonymous October 26, 2021 - 9:57 PM - 9:57 PM

@Concord Guy – Wrong. It’s not the duty of In-N-Out to enforce local health mandates WRT their customers. If the state wants customers to be checked, they can provide funding for restaurants to hire someone to do it.

Hope everyone is enjoying their medical tyranny. I bet this heroic move will save hundreds, no thousands of lives. That health inspector can sleep soundly at night knowing that he is a hero doing the lord Fauci’s work. There is no cost too high, no freedom too precious to give up in the name of safety. I plan on turning over my medical records, bank account info, and browser history to the government just on case there is any information they can use to save one life. Actually, they no doubt already have all that, so maybe I can just FOIA myself to make sure.

Why do you want to kill grandma? Why do you hate science. Don’t be a plague rat, do what you are told.

Kandy_Korn October 26, 2021 - 3:43 PM - 3:43 PM

Oh give me a break. Vaccination is a public health action — everyone must participate or it’s useless. But make it political if you must.

CAtoTX October 26, 2021 - 5:58 PM - 5:58 PM

@Kamdy_Korn you are delusional if you think that it was anyone but the domocRATS that made COVID political.

Wage Slave October 26, 2021 - 7:20 PM - 7:20 PM

That’s right, do what you are told. The public health experts have said this is what you have to do to get your freedom back. They only want what is best for you. Just like two weeks slowed the spread, and then we had to wait for the vaccine to get our lives back, wait no we needed 70% vaccinated, wait 98%, and then we didn’t need the masks any more, and then we did, and then how we needed to be “fully vaccinated” to continue to exist in society, and then fully vaccinated became three shots, soon to be four.. The science is ever evolving, and it just always says they need more control over you.

Those red states that aren’t doing most of this are death ridden hell-holes. Everyone is sick there and dying because they don’t follow “the science” like Doc Fauci does. Don’t go there and look yourself, just believe what CNN says. That’d why almost all of the economic growth is happening in red states, and California with 1/12 of the population accounts for 1/4th to 1/3rd of the unemployment, because those Republican Nazis only care about money.

We can just print money forever to pay everyone to stay home forever. Our essential worker underclass-, er, heros I mean, can keep all the food and medical care going and take all the risks so we don’t have to. Unless they don’t want to get the jab, then fire their anti-sciencs butts.

Good obedient citizen, keep doing what you are told, a d we will keep you safe.

Led October 27, 2021 - 8:32 AM - 8:32 AM

Kandy Korn, that depends on the vaccine and the disease. These shots don’t eliminate transmission, so it is always going to circulate to some extent. But the vax does protect quite well against serious illness. So if you got it, chill out and stop looking to run other people’s lives.

80% + of adults and teens in CCC have been vaxxed, and many more will vax their kids now that it is going to be approved for 5-11 year olds. (Whether that is smart is another question.) There’s no public health emergency from Covid anymore here. There’s nothing that justifies vaccine mandates, barring people from public spaces, or any of it. If you want to get vaxxed, get a booster, wear a mask, go for it. But there is no more public health crisis, just bureaucrats who don’t want to give up control

And if anyone thinks this is about “the science,” why close the drive-thru as well? BK and McDonald’s don’t ask for vaccination status when you use the drive-thru. Why shut it down?

Because it’s about punishment and making an example.

CCC Health is disgusting.

Anonymous October 26, 2021 - 1:26 PM - 1:26 PM

It is a health violation, If you fail, you are fined and or closed. if they did not want to check vaccine status per the current, hopefully temporary regulations, then why didn’t In-N-Out close their inside seating and just keep the drive through open? They chose to disregard the current state regulations and now In-N-Out and the Franchisees will pay for it.

Anonymous October 26, 2021 - 1:37 PM - 1:37 PM

@Anonymous The point is as they said: they feel if the state wants the vaccination status checked, the state should do it. The state loves to make local mandates and provide no funding to support them. That’s what California does.

The employees with customer contact have plexiglass barriers and everyone wears masks at the registers. Even the employee who cleans the dining area wears a mask. Studies on where people got COVID have shown that very few can trace their case to a restaurant. They’re getting it from friends and family at small social events where people aren’t wearing masks.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about government overreach and control. We already had the lowest COVID rates in the country before these rules forcing restaurants to become the vaccine police, so it’s not like these rules will make any difference.

@cyn. Immigrants are required by law to show proof of their immigration status when requested by any law enforcement agency but since we are a Sanctuary State law enforcement is forbidden to do so (remember the Kate Steinle case?) and any time there has been an opposition to this law, it has been labeled a violation of civil liberties. Here we are having our rights being violated but those same organizations aren’t crying that what is happening now is a violation of everyone’s civil liberties because Illegal immigrants aren’t required to take the jab, they are being given all the rights of free citizens.

We, as (once free) American citizens should be at liberty to make such decisions, enjoying a simple lunch without the implicit approval of our minders. Putin would look fondly upon us needing to show “papers;” this would take him back to his old days.

Appalling.

We’ve sabotaged the economy and the future of our young for a virus with a death rate of under .001% for healthy people under 50 years old.

There is no end in sight, there is only a dystopia where you are required to get a booster shot every X months or be cut off from society and forced to starve in the streets. You who took your one or two shots will soon be asked (REQUIRED, COMPELLED, FORCED) to take another, and another, and another.

There is also the fact that In N’ Out is a religious organization, most pointedly a Christian organization. I have no doubt that the woke new-Kommunist politicians and officials who lord over the bay area took enormous pleasure in smiting a Christian company.

I applaud In N Out, this is a company with courage.

The death rate would be higher but many of us wear masks and get vaccine to prevent further spread.

You future shots argument is ludicrous unless more variants occur because demand their freedumb is more important than their health.

I stopped by the WC Chick-fil-A yesterday for an indoor lunch. I’m fully vaccinated. The store signage was clear as to the mask requirement. I was wearing a mask. I placed my order at the counter AND paid for it. Only then was I asked to show my vaccination card. I did so. It was a slightly awkward conversation for both the server and myself. It made me wonder what would have happened if I didn’t have my card or I had refused to show it…after the transaction had already been completed? Reverse the charge? Retrieve the food order? Both? I recommend that vaccination card requests precede completion of the transaction until this unwieldy and arguably ineffective County Health Department policy. It’s nothing more than window dressing.

People are so predictable on here. Years ago it was all about Private businesses should get to do what they want, then they started doing mask requirements at private businesses and y’all complained. It’s the hypocrisy for me.

Here’s why they are getting “picked on”. Because they decided to make a big deal out of not checking vaccine status. McDonald’s and others are keeping quiet! Who commits a crime and screams at the police that they did it?

So stop with the “attacking religion” “poor conservative” drama! Nice show. They call liberals snowflakes. Lol

What do you mean, years ago? It still is about private businesses getting to do what they want, and In n Out doesn’t want to check vax status. They’re not committing crimes and screaming at the police, as you stated. If you deny religion has been and is being attacked, then you’re flat out lying to yourself and others. You sure put a good spin on everything, though.

To anyone else: please define which civil right(s) are violated by mask mandates. “my body, my choice” is fine, but when the state/fed have constitutional authority to take reasonable measures during a pandemic. If you feel these measures aren’t reasonable, you’ll have to show who is being harmed. How your rights are being curtailed.

Cyn October 26, 2021 - 8:17 PM - 8:17 PM

Greg, the survival rate is what? 99%? So how in the world can you, or anybody else, continue to say these are reasonable measures?

anon October 27, 2021 - 11:02 AM - 11:02 AM

The death rate simply does not necessitate it.

Furthermore, if mask are to achieve their stated goal, then they should have been respirators, issued in the mail by the guv’ment. If this was REALLY about stopping a respiratory disease.

Respirators, N95 or equivalents, have been available en masse from reliable producers like Korea since say September of last year. Production caught up fast. It has been totally feasible to buy Korean respirators for under $1.00 apiece in practically unlimited quantities and issue them to the taxpayers, yet this is not done by the authorities. HM????

FORCING people to wear masks, while allowing them to wear effectively totally useless ones like bandanas and cloth masks, proves this is about control and forced compliance, not disease prevention.

Exactly where in the US Constitution does it provide the government with the right and/or authority to make private businesses their vaccine police? I’ll save you the trouble: NO WHERE!

If you choose to get vaccinated &/or vaccinate your children, this is your private medical business. The risk of an adverse event from a vaccine is very small (but not zero). I have a vaccine-injured child, and yet, I had him get a COVID vaccination, for his health, and for those who interact with him.

As it stands, if you are not vaccinated and you get sick from COVID, this is your choice, just as if you chose to smoke cigarettes for 60 years, and then die of lunch cancer. This isn’t rocket science folks.

Those who are choosing to not be vaccinated, are taking their health choice into their own hands. Others who are vaccinated, and are near the unvaccinated, have a very low risk of getting ill from COVID.

Does all of this explain the current situation to y’all now? Any other questions?

“@greg
That’s right…..employees are vaxed and customers are vaxed, but everyone is in so much danger if they don’t show their personal, private medical information? Greg, you’re not following the science.”

Correct. VAccinations have proven to be safe and *effective*. Spread, major sickness, and death are all greatly – GREATLY – reduced due to vaccination. That’s the science. No getting around it. Thus if the fed/state government want to protect the majority of its population from plague, and keep businesses open, they have every right to mandate these things.

YOu’re not giving over personal private medical info. We are currently living in a pandemic, showing proof of vaccination is no different than needing it to send children to school or to travel abroad. I can ask you all day for medical info, you don’t have to give it to me, and you don’t have to shop at my store.

And if a business does not wish to abide by state/fed health regulations, they should be shut down. I don’t want cockroaches nor covid crawling all over my burger.

Correct. The Polio vaccine has been proven to be safe and effective, after years and years. But with these new vaccines only being around for a few months, you cannot make that same statement, and may never be able to. And another thing, if someone is showing their vax status upon request, then THEY MOST CERTAINLY ARE GIVING OVER THE PERSONAL PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION.

To Do List October 26, 2021 - 9:13 PM - 9:13 PM

Cyn is correct. The CDC website discussing the history of polio has: “In 1955, some batches of polio vaccine given to the public contained live polio virus, even though they had passed required safety testing. Over 250 cases of polio were attributed to vaccines produced by one company: Cutter Laboratories. This case, which came to be known as the Cutter Incident, resulted in many cases of paralysis. The vaccine was recalled as soon as cases of polio were detected.”

Which is weird, because the voters really aren’t hard left on average. Somehow, uninformed/ignorant voters have voted in people who are hard left, who have then appointed people who are hard left.

I am a vaccination believer and in fact recently got my booster. But I am completely against these heavy-handed government mandates. Completely unnecessary esp. when rates continue to decline.

Agree with their attorney’s reasoning that businesses should not be forced to be the vaccination police.

BTW, I’ve been to several restaurants in this county since this order was issued and only ONE (Buffalo Wild Wings) has asked for vaccination card plus id. Had a 17-year old hostess trying to enforce this ridiculous order. (I will not be back to Buffalo Wild Wings until this is over.)

BORbeliever October 26, 2021 - 4:55 PM - 4:55 PM

The libs in charge of SF and CC county don’t like In-N-Out because the owners of In-N-Out can think for themselves. The libs prefer brain-dead people who do what they are told.

We went to PH In-N-Out last weekend after they got shut down in SF to support them (not that they needed it…drive-thru and inside were packed). Will be back after PH location reopens.

Regarding checking for vaccination status, I’ve been to restaurants in Danville and Walnut Creek that did not ask. If we are being fair, why aren’t those places being shut down? Not that I want them to be…good for them for standing up to the health police, but why are some restaurants being singled out?

Also, went to a popular downtown WC restaurant where we were asked for vaccine card and ID. One person in the lobby pointedly ignored the hostess who was checking and she let it go.

Different standards are enforced depending on the establishment’s political views, it would seem.

How is anyone certain if the card that is shown is real or not? How do you know if the vaccinated person is free of Covid because people can still have and spread Covid with the vaccine? Why is there such a sense of security so many of you seem to have with this card?

Why not take it a step further and just require a rapid test at the door? Would that make you all feel better when you are eating your double-double?

Time to step back and look at the bigger picture of what this is all really turning into. It’s not pretty.

anon October 27, 2021 - 11:08 AM - 11:08 AM

The fact that a negative test isn’t allowed is extremely disturbing.

Fact: the vaccinated can and do readily spread Covid-19.

Fact: A negative test, if dependable, is obviously preferable to a Vax Pass, since the vaccinated can and do readily spread Covid019

Yet, those with negative test results are excluded from society.

It’s as if this dystopian “Papers, Please” Nazi-style crap wasn’t about controlling the spread of any disease whatsoever.

That we can exist in untouchable industries and offer jobs to those against mandates or otherwise unwilling to compromise their bodies. Right there with you Sam, feels real good taking money from these weak libs. Happy to do it. Happy to use it to build and support strong men and women who feel the same as us. California has no idea the beasts they’re turning us into. They’re developing resilience and grit in us that those who went along with this clown show just won’t know. We’ll probably be doubling revenues next year. Keep it coming Cali. We’re not going anywhere.

That’s it. We’ll see who’s really “essential” and it ain’t the dancing tick toc nurses or the rainbow people working the cash register at target. I can tell in 10 seconds who I will charge and who I would help out. These fools want to create two classes of citizens, that’s easy. I’ve been sticking it to these soft handed, limp wristed, no skill having sissy’s all my life. Their wives know what’s up. We lost a whole generation of men and women to this madness. It’s on the few real men left to stand up for the children. Going against the grain and swimming upstream takes strength and fortitude.

I use my real name (didn’t realize I had a choice when I signed up) and have been open about where I work, so you all know I’m not a millionaire (my ex husband is, thus if that counts, ha, ha), but I’m doing alright, I have more than one source of income.

Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors along with the Health Department have over stepped their authority and have decided to rule the people in this county under a dictatorship. I am sickened as it looks as if our rights are being taken away on a daily basis. After 2 years of Covid, we are no longer living in a disaster situation. There are more deaths and cases now from Covid than last year, yet the majority are vaccinated. In other words, the vaccine isn’t all that great. Just as the flu vaccine doesn’t stop the flu, the Covid Vaccine won’t stop Covid. Political dictators are the Epidemic at this point and need to be stopped. Hopefully IN and Out will be able to fight this tyranny in a court of law. The sad thing is our tax payer money will be used to fight and protect the Board of Supervisors and the Health Department. Most likely Contra Costa will lose and fines will be paid for by us, the tax payers. It is unfortunate that there will be zero accountability from the Board and Health Department. At this point they own us. They no longer represent the people. They want total submission and control of the peoples lives, and if that means destroying the hand that feeds them, so be it. The time is now to fight back before we no longer can.

You’re correct, Lilo, the Supervisors and Health Department no longer represent the people….they are ‘high’ on their power and do not want to come down!

The assault on IN and Out Burger by the Health Department and the Board of Supervisors is a step to control the people. They are making an example out of IN and Out to prove to the people that you must listen and obey. This has nothing to do with Health and Safety. Simple revenge for not kissing their asses and an attack on Christianity is what it is all about. It is a well known fact that IN and Out is Christian based. There is no room in this “new world” for God based faith. The only one you should believe is your government as they know what is best for the masses. I can only hope that our courts aren’t in bed with our political dictators and a small part of our Constitution remains.

But anyway, the state pols don’t have the cojones to enact a mandate. They just want to use private businesses (and schools) to put pressure on people. In-N-Out is right to call them out on that. If you think an actual state mandate is needed, have the guts to enact it legislatively. I’m not holding my breath.

Nothing about this has gone though Parliamentary Procedures..See Australia, China, Look at your Future America. STAND STRONG , They didn’t even impose any of these fictitious laws during the AIDS epidemic…YOU ARE BEING PLAYED

greg October 27, 2021 - 12:43 PM - 12:43 PM

@Anon – if an establishment states you must be vaccinated to eat there, they have every right to reject anyone who does not show a vaccination card. There is no part of that which would be defined as medical discrimination. You can’t even articulate what you’re talking about, or cite the actual law being violated by asking for vaccination info.

It’s so funny to me how all these right wing arguments over “rights” always involves the logic that the right wing person whining has *all* the rights, and the establishment telling them they can’t bring their plague in has none. Not really how it works.

Gittyup October 27, 2021 - 2:17 PM - 2:17 PM

Anonymous testing and treatment has always been available for HIV, AIDS, and STDs. Why would Covid-19 be any exception, particularly with the protections afforded by the passage of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Asking a business to check vaccine status is a violation of Federal law I would think.

“Most of us believe that our medical and other health information is private and should be protected, and we want to know who has this information. The Privacy Rule, a Federal law, gives you rights over your health information and sets rules and limits on who can look at and receive your health information. The Privacy Rule applies to all forms of individuals’ protected health information, whether electronic, written, or oral. The Security Rule is a Federal law that requires security for health information in electronic form.”

It’s sad to see how many people in the comments are blinded by whatever political affiliation (I’m mainly speaking of the right) spews to them. And believe me when I say I’m not a leftist. I was born in the South, raised in the South, and went to l good ole’ USC (the real one, not those Southern California prisses).

Most of you are calling these public health initiatives “communism” because that’s what you’ve heard online and from people you watch on YouTube. If we went back 50 years to the 1970’s, would you call the (military) draft lottery, which was mandatory btw, “communism” too. Even if the purpose was to COMBAT communism?

This isn’t communism. Y’all are letting your fellow Americans die. 750k and counting. I’ve been a republican my entire life, but the way in which Donald Trump has completely demolished what conservatism once stood for and warped it into the right-wing conspiracy machine it is today forced me to do what I never would’ve thought was imaginable. I switched my political affiliation to “Independent” for this last election and never looked back.

Any of y’all commenting in here saying this mandate is un-American needs to take a long look in the mirror and really question your own “American-ness”. I hope that before I die, we right this ship; otherwise the U.S of A is going to continue its downward trajectory to mediocrity.

No, mandates are authoritarian decrees issued by a developing communist government.

Exactly who am I letting die? That is 1st grade gaslighting. You better up your game if you want to speak with the adults. You’re just another commie behind a blade of grass out here. You just combined a handful of CNN talking points and think you had an original independent thought.

The “right wing conspiracy machine” has been on point for 30 years. You were never conservative. You were a george bush neocon. The type of conservative who worships war criminals. No thank you. Now you get to be yourself, koolaid hair and all. The lines are drawn and you are a leftist.

There have been republican presidents I respected and even liked even though I didn’t agree on many of the issues. Gerald Ford for one, I preferred him over Carter, George W. Bush 41, a total class act, and after Trump Bush 43 looks a lot better, although I was very much against the war in Iraq.

@Sam You must’ve lost your damn mind. I fought in 2 wars against those commies and you have the nerve to call me one?

Who are you letting die? Go visit a hospital or talk to nurses in metropolitan areas and tell me that everything is hunky dory.

Just to set the record straight on my Republican background; I was born in the Eisenhower era and was a fan of Reagan, so don’t spew your neocon BS.

Lastly, I don’t have cable (the C in CNN if you aren’t aware) and I’ve gotten my news from the same sources since the 80s.

This is total BS. In and Out has high standards to be employed there. You must have a certain grade point average-good for them. The employees are generally polite and well groomed. How many other places require that? To conservative and to American for the leftists to deal with??????

Just more control that the green-leftist-socialist group who is in power now want. Just look at how inflation has gone out of sight under Joe Bin Lyin in such a short amount of time. This is just the beginning unless we step up and make some changes quickly. This includes our local city council members who will be running again next year to keep on the dole in addition to being paid off by Seeno and God knows who else. No more lifers in any office. Term limits all the way around.

Nobody elected the county health officer, genius. No legislature decided to keep calling Covid an emergency forever, long after it became a matter of individual risk tolerance. These decisions are being imposed by diktat. The Biden vaccine mandate on large companies was not voted on by anybody – heck, it doesn’t even exist yet because OSHA hasn’t issued any rule. We’re being governed by decrees and press releases. That’s the epitome of a violation of the separation of powers. All justified by a state of emergency, supposedly. With over half the population having acquired immunity and, in the Bay Area, supermajorities who are vaxxed. There’s no emergency anymore. But people have to take the power back. They won’t give it up voluntarily. It’s a lot easier for politicians when they can just say stuff and have it treated as law.

THe process are elections. We currently have a pandemic. We as a country chose those who favor covid restrictions over those who said i’ts not a big deal. I don’t see where the confusion for you is. YOu can insist something is “illegal” but I dunno what you are basing it on. When you or someone else insists you’re “rights” are being violated, it’s always this weird vague declaration.

I’ve asked before, I’ll ask again: define the rights being violated. Show me where the constitution does not allow for federal mandates for public protection. YOu don’t think covid is real?

They have run multiple stories in the past couple of days about In-N-Out’s politics, discussing their political contributions, LGBTQ issues and whether or not they should be cancelled. Oh, and I used to work in food service a couple of decades ago (have you?)”

Yeah, when I was a kid I was a waiter at a TGIFridays. I had to ask for IDs constantly when folks ordered booze. But hey, good point, restaurant folks NEVER have to check government provided IDs to prove the person sitting there can legally take part in alcohol. The difference is that right wing lunatics want to go to war over everything and insist its a right, so we agree it’s way more dangerous now asking folks for this stuff.

If your argument is that in’n’out was targeted for being a right wing org or whatever, you’d have to show me what you consider a left wing chain that has declared it won’t abide by mandates and is still open. (You’re gonna give me some anecdotal story about being in whatever you consider a “commie fast food chain” (LOLOLOL these terms don’t even have meaning anymore) or whatever and no one asking you for a vaccine card. This will immediately prove you don’t have any examples to give me.)

health dept. does not dictate who you can serve….fact check that. otherwise, we need to segregate buses again…something to chew on greg

Sorry greg,
But any Public place of business cannot discriminate based on a medical issue.

Did you forget about the Christian owned bakery who refused to make a cake for a gay couple? Look it up.

You are letting your “party” cloud your common sense.
We are not talking about sports here, this is real life.

WAKE UP

Glen223 October 27, 2021 - 8:12 PM - 8:12 PM

Greg- a health “mandate” by a county health “officer” is different than serving alcohol to minors – ever hear of state law? You know, laws passed by the legislature?

I thought not. Go back to TGIFridays.

And by the way – “kids” cannot serve alcohol.

Don’t try to play the expert – on anything. But I kind of expected that from you.

greg October 27, 2021 - 10:48 AM - 10:48 AM

“And another thing, if someone is showing their vax status upon request, then THEY MOST CERTAINLY ARE GIVING OVER THE PERSONAL PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION.”

Yes, they are choosing to give it. If they don’t wish to give it, they don’t need to use that establishment.

To those asking why this place or that place isn’t being shut down for not checking vaccinations: I’m sure lots of places aren’t. IN’n’Out decided to loudly declare they’re going to stand in defiance of mandates. They said “come at me bros” to the state, and the state said “okay, you know the rules, you’re saying you wont follow them, we shut you down per those rules” And? What happens if you punch a cop in the face? What happens when you wave around gambling winnings in front of an IRS officer? Tell me, what happens?

Those of you who still don’t understand how a republic democracy works: those of us who want covid protectiosn won fed and state elections. IN large part because of the right’s stance on covid. You lost.

Dont wanna show a vax card? Stay home.
Don’t wanna wear a mask? Stay home.

Or next time make a more compelling argument than “The pandemic that killed 700k+ Americans was a hoax that we don’t believe in”

Sancho Panza October 27, 2021 - 2:19 PM - 2:19 PM

You’re sounding like such an obedient civil servant, greg! Are you employed by the Contra Costa County Health Department? Your statements of imposing secondary consequences–in the form of exclusion from participating in certain activities–is right out of the playbook for justifying these coercive vaccine mandates…

sideline October 27, 2021 - 2:59 PM - 2:59 PM

You are sooo wrong on this. Not all of us that “won” wants covid protection such as this one. This is taking it too far.

greg October 27, 2021 - 10:52 AM - 10:52 AM

“There is no official anything except what the local health dept. decrees hand down. Study up on the Parliamentary procedure of how a law is created..or didn’t they touch on that in school with you?”

“Nobody elected the county health officer, genius. No legislature decided to keep calling Covid an emergency forever, long after it became a matter of individual risk tolerance. ”

Ya’ll don’t know how the 10th Amendment works, do ya? 😉

parent October 27, 2021 - 1:13 PM - 1:13 PM

You are not a very nice person … are ya? You must be a blast at parties.

The 10th, I have read it.

Have you read the California Emergency Services Act? You should … it might help you out.

A republic democracy, yeah, I am familiar with that as well. I used to live in one till March of 2019 … then Nazi Newsolini took over.

700K Americans, yeah, that is a lot. How many are from COVID … I’ll wait till you get a number FROM covid.

No one is forced to wear a mask .. really? So I cannot shop indoors unless I have a mask on. Or do you just assume everyone is as priveledged as you and has access to the internet, cause not everyone does! Hence why school districts are sending computers and hotspots home. Or did you conveniently forget that?

As for In&Out loudly shunning the health dictatorship order … well two bowling alleys in Contra Costa County have also publically announced that they are not following the indoor mask policy or vaccine check for food orders. But they aren’t shut down … why not?

You like to say, well show it or don’t shop there. Some people do not have the luxury of moving to a new store for numerous reasons … but you dont care, do you, cause you can .. you aren’t impacted.

yeah .. you and ‘Me’, you two make quite the pair.

In ‘n Out has many items not officially on the menu, but you can ask for by name. A couple of examples are “animal style”, the “flying Dutchman” etc. Rumor has it they are introducing a new one in honor of Gavin Newsom called “the flying d***head”. It consists of a plain bun spread with Desenex.

OK, feel free to come up with a real one…….perhaps it will stick.

Kristen October 27, 2021 - 12:21 PM - 12:21 PM

Yet the cold stone creamery is open after being shut down who knows how many times over the past few years because they have cockroaches EVERYWHERE…. But let’s focus on this place not checking a damn vaccine card… smh

greg October 27, 2021 - 12:47 PM - 12:47 PM

@Cyn: no one is forced to wear a mask. If you are complaining about needing to mask up to walk into a store or restaurant, don’t do it. Order online. You have so many options now. 😉

mike October 27, 2021 - 3:56 PM - 3:56 PM

@greg – I appreciate your spirited debate. In full transparency, I am covid-recovered and based upon my deep reading of the science personally believe I have broad and durable protection against covid and its variants. I believe the science (particularly out of Israel) that my protection is superior to vaccine-provided protection. So that’s where I am coming from.

On Monday Nature.com published an article warning of the A.30 variant, noting that the heavily mutated spike protein evades vaccine-induced antibodies with high efficiency. This is the natural progression when viruses encounter a narrow roadblock (e.g., a narrowly designed ‘vaccine’). It is why the original Delta variant so quickly became a variant of concern and in the blink of an eye became the dominant global variant. Delta Plus is being watched carefully as the next potential VOC and A.30 has everyone very nervous.

In this context, when we know with certainty the vaccines do not materially reduce transmission, and we also know the vaccines offer only limited (or no) therapeutic benefit against the naturally evolving variants, does it really make sense to mandate the vaccines (and boosters of the same ineffective vaccines)? In order to work or participate in society? Is it really a public health issue or is something else going on? Maybe the idea of a mandate started as a public health issue, but nature’s train left has left that station.

If you’re still for a mandate, maybe you just don’t yet believe the studies (even if peer reviewed and published in apex journals) or have the time/inclination to read them. That is understandable, it takes a lot of time and in theory that is what our public health officials are supposed to be doing on our behalf. I would imagine there is a tipping point for you, however, when the weight of the evidence is just too great to ignore and your hunch that a government required or “encouraged” mandate for an ineffective vaccine no longer adds up. I appreciate that we want (and need) to trust our health officials at the fed/state/local levels. My question to you is this: can you imagine there is a point, regardless of your political views, when facts on the ground cause you to reject the mandate and in good faith protest in your own way the edicts of the local health officials?

It’s an honest question and not a political question. It touches on your own personal agency and when in your own mind you have the civic responsibility to push back.

No regulation without representation!

The Branch Covidians running Kleptofornica are never going to willingly give freedom and autonomy back to the people. You have a permanent “health crisis” and the Democrats do not want it to “go to waste”.

Over here in our free state we had dine-in at Chick-fil-a for lunch yesterday. No mask or coronamania passports required. A few people wear masks, which is their right, just as the majority do not because that is their right. You have no idea how much better we feel being free of tyranny. The Nazi comparison is spot on.

Stay open lawyer up vaccination or not medical records are private no body’s business! Does the health department require cooks, servers for TB, AIDS,or hepatitis papers? You have a constitution and a bill of rights use them!
STAY OPEN!!

Wow Greg

The private business has the right, the argument here is that the private business is NOT BEING GIVEN THE RIGHT. They are being MANDATED to. Is that clear enough for you?

I can go to Solano County, Alameda County, Yolo County etc .. and not deal with the stupidity of our health nazi’s and people like you, and guess what, I DO!

Talk about freedom, no I don’t talk. I act. I will take action to ensure my freedom, and even YOUR freedom is allowed to continue. It is not just talk for me … is it for you?

Enfore laws? These are not laws. They were not passed by a legislature. They are being passed on the California Emergency Services Act. Have you looked that up yet, or are you stuck on your 10th Amendment argument? Or are you unwilling to actually read what we post here so you can learn something?

As for the Bible (capital B as it is a proper noun), yeah I believe in it. I will stand for that as well.

What do you stand for?

@Me You’re trolling. I saw a sign on a window at Pleasant Hill In-N-Out today offering $18/hour starting pay and paying up to $21.50/hour.

Does that sound like the “some of the lowest pay in the fast food industry?”

No wonder you abandoned this thread.

Mike October 29, 2021 - 3:18 PM - 3:18 PM

@greg: right wing? ok greg. Back to my question and I’ll rephrase: presumably you can imagine there could be a situation where the data overwhelmingly contradicts official policy. Would you object to the policy and not consent, or would you obey because your politics are aligned with the officials?

I just really find it odd that you ridicule as “right wing” people who spend the time and effort to read science, including peer-reviewed science, and make personal choices in good faith. Nature, Cell, the government of Israel are certainly not right-wing organizations.

If you time box your statement “overwhelmingly [the vaccines] work” I fully agree with you. They work for a very short period of time and against the early forms of the virus. Vaccine efficacy has now crashed (boosters were obviously not originally advertised), transmission rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated are now at the same level and the window of being “super effective” is now down to about 3-6 months. No serious (and informed) person is now arguing these points.

Israel, UK and now north-central Europe – countries that rigorously track data, unlike the US – all show a very predictable pattern of cases and death rates. Data scientists are calling it the ‘vaccine happy valley’ where case rates drop for a period of time following mass vaccinations. Unfortunately, that valley is followed by a dramatic spike in cases and death rates. Please look at what Denmark is seeing this week (at 80% vaccination rate) with the health minister now stating that lockdowns are likely. The 7-day average new case rate is spiking to levels not seen since January. This is in a country that just in September decided to drop all coronavirus restrictions “thanks to high vaccination rates” (an NPR headline).

Closer to home we have the state of Florida with what is now the lowest case rate in the country. How is that possible without a high vaccination rate?

You can choose to ignore this information and maintain a personal point of view that mass vaccinations are a net positive, however, you must at least acknowledge that enough information (clearly not outliers, not anecdotal as you state) now exists that a reasonable person – regardless of politics – would question whether a mandate is appropriate.
