In this video Bharon Hoag discusses… The public comment in Rhode Island has ended! It appears that we are going to continue to move forward without AVAC requirement for our providers in Rhode Island. Huge win! We’ll talk more about that today. We’re also tracking some legislation in California that is talking about mandatory vaccines for, pretty much any employee in the state of California. We’re gonna dig a little bit and I wanna share with you what’s going on in the rest of the world and why that matters to you.
So good morning, our American chiropractors and natural health providers, this is Bharon Hoag The Executive Director of OneChiropractic and The Chiropractic Defense Council coming to you today, Monday, March 14th, 2022 for our Weekly Update. Rhode Island, really great stuff. I actually have a, I know I received a couple of comments from our Rhode Island providers wanting clarification. So in the base of this email, you’ll see a link to be able to go to the new public order. Um, that validates what I’m stating. I know there’s been some confusion of, of how that reads. We have double and triple check that with our legal team. Um, and it is in play. The public comment has pass. We’re expecting it to be ratified here shortly, but all signs are showing that this is over and you no longer have fear. Those of you that have maybe have not been practicing. You are free to start practicing. Again. The only requirement you have is mask and there’s even some guidelines to that. So I do have my legal team, um, gonna be putting together a specific document, outlining exactly what needs to happen and how you Need to move forward. So be looking for that in the next week or two, as we wait for this to sift out, obviously we need to wait until it’s officially written. What all of the, the ramifications and, uh, specifications of this policy are, as soon as that’s done, um, we will have that document released for you. So that’s great news in California. We are aware of the legislation.
We have communicated with the chiropractic, uh, our California chiropractic association, working with them and their legislative team. Um, we’re not overly concerned about this bill, obviously on face value. It’s a pretty horrific bill as it, you know, basically means anyone that’s employed anywhere in California must be vaccinated, but based on who’s sponsoring it and where it’s sitting, we don’t expect it to really have many legs. Um, we are monitoring it. You can rest assure that if this thing does get some legs, we will put the full force of the defense council working alongside the CCA To ensure that this doesn’t happen. So, um, I, I wanted you to be aware that we are, that we’ve had a number of you reaching out to us. Um, and it is important if you see things like this and it’s not, again, remember we’re not an organization that’s specifically to mandates, right? We’re looking at anything that affects chiropractic period. Um, on a global scale, we’re not really a legal firm for you individually, but when there are big issues, we love working with other to, to fix Issues that may apply, um, for our profession as a whole. So please do reach out to us, share with us things like that. Legislation in California.
Obviously we have a lot of interest in, so, um, I, and then we’re having some, uh, effects in Canada. We really have been busy this past week, helping those in British Columbia, those that are on the border up there may be hearing what’s going on there. And it’s really important that you understand that if those things happen right now, what’s happening in British Columbia, that’s even scarier is they, they’re not mandating the vaccine, the vaccine for private healthcare, but they’re however trying to gather all of this information. We believe part of doing that is protecting your rights to ensure that you can practice as you choose. So understand the scope of everything that we’re doing. Um, a lot is going on. We’re, we’re starting to be taken more seriously in the profession. So people are reaching out to us, telling us things, allowing us to do the work that we’re properly to do.
So we love you. We appreciate you. We want to continue to grow this infrastructure. Remember our goal is to get to 10,000 contributors around the world and the work that we’re able to do just expands the larger we get and the more resources that we have to be able to do it. So please continue to spread the word with your colleagues, and we’re gonna continue to share with you the amazing things that are happening around the world. So have an incredible week. We’ll be back at you next Monday. Thank you very much for your support. Thank you for your belief in us and for preemptively spreading the word and, uh, getting more people, a part of what we’re doing. (This is a computerized transcript. Please forgive any mistakes.)
