INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Health will close COVID-19 testing sites run by OptumServe Health Services effective June 30 now that a robust community-led testing network is in place,
What kind of setbacks should be required?
A bill that passed in the Indiana House â but died in the Senate this past legislative session â would have set those guidelines for the entire state.
One provision in that bill would have allowed some local control. Any county with an ordinance in place before June 30 would have been exempt.
Even with that bill having failed, the Noble County Plan Commission is working to come up with its own guidelines as part of the countyâs Unified Development Ordinance.
âOur zoning ordinance doesnât have anything to do with solar energy,â Noble County Councilman George Bennett said during Mondayâs regularly scheduled council meeting. âThis is an important consideration in an area that has been neglected so far.â
To the editor and H. Lauren Vogel, D.O. MPH:
I dispute the statement in the letter printed in the Wednesday, April 21, edition that the COVID-19 vaccines have been given without any documented death nor long-term adverse effects.
The agency receiving reports of adverse effects here in the USA has a very long list of issues including over 3,000 deaths. Here is a recent quote about info gleaned from that site: As of April 1, 2021, VAERS had received 56,869 adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, including 7,971 serious injuries and 2,342 deaths.3 By April 13, the had updated that death toll to 3,005.4 Footnotes numbers were for citations in the original article.
