Tuesday, 27, 2021, County Judge Randy Moore called to order at 9:00 a.m., a Regular Meeting of the Fannin County Commissioners Court. A quorum was established as all four of the County Commissioners and the County Judge were present. The invocation was led by Pastor Michael Evans of the Windom United Methodist Church. Pledges were led by Major James Manis, assisted by visitors Elijah and Gunner of Fannin County. 4. Public Forum: The first Public Forum speaker, a citizen of Fannin County, began by relaying her sympathies for any who had lost a loved one to Covid. She then voiced her belief that a majority of those deaths might have been prevented if all who had contracted the disease could 2017 Lincoln MKC Premiere 2017 Nissan Sentra S 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE 2017 Ford Escape Titanium 2017 Dodge Journey SXT 2016 Toyota Camry LE OVED *2015 Chevy Traverse APPR LD/ SO ED 4X4 OVSLT *2015 Dodge Ram APPR LD/ SO 2015 Kia Soul 2015 Kia Sorento LX 2015 Kia Forte LX OVED *2015 Honda Accord APPR LD/ SO 2015 Ford Focus SE 2015 Ford Fiesta SE 2015 Ford F-250 SD 2015 Ford EscapeTitanium 2015 Chevy Cruze LT OVED APPR *2014 Chevy Equinox LD/ SO OVED *2014 Nissan Versa SL APPR LD/ SO 2014 Jeep Wrangler OVED APPR *2014 Jeep Patriot LD/ SO OVEDLatitude *2014 Jeep Cherokee APPR LD/ SO 2014 Chevy Malibu LTZ OVED APPR LD/ *2014 Ford Escape SE SO OVED *2013 Dodge Avenger APPR SOLD/ OVED *2013 Nissan Altima APPR SOLD/ ED PROVSLT *2013 GMC APYukon SOLD/ PROV *2013 Ford SED APFocus SOLD/ PROVED *2013 Ford SEL APEscape LD/ SO 2013 Buick LaCrosse ED PROVSE APRoutan *2012 VW LD/ SO OVED *2012 Buick LaCrosse APPR LD/ SO 2012 Honda Pilot LX
have received the treatments that many physicians (whose voices have been shunned by the media) administered to their patients successfully. Using herself as an example, she went on to say that at sixty years of age and having an immune deficiency condition; when she contracted Covid her physician put her on a regimen of hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, zinc, and vitamin B6 and she recovered in three days. She continued that in our society today there is information regarding Covid that is being suppressed largely by big tech and it is something not seen before in our country. She sees free speech being attacked, as adverse information regarding the use of the vaccine (the number of adverse reactions and deaths that have occurred as a result of taking the vaccine) is not reaching the public.

risks of taking the vaccine and how taking the vaccine should be a choice and not a mandate. She spoke of recent reports of heart conditions occurring in young males who have taken the vaccines and yet reports from doctors who are reporting no deaths of Covid patients they have treated successfully, are not reaching the public. She concluded with reference to information she gave each commissioner and asked them to call her with any comments or questions. The second speaker, a resident of Ivanhoe, used the three minutes allotted to speakers, to reiterate what was spoken by the first speaker. He referred to the vaccines as “experimental gene therapy” and how it is Dr. Fauci who is calling for new mandates at local levels to require people to receive the vaccination. He went on to say Governor Abbott has issued
