Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, (LADPH), is often parodied and may even be rivaling. The Babylon Bee.
As my colleague Bob Hoge reported, not only have they shut down their social media accounts to public comment, but they have decided that it is vital to “public health” that your pet be tested for COVID, and are blithely offering free tests to pet owners and animal care facilities.
Was anyone able to look at it and consider that perhaps it might. It is notshould be taken seriously
Evidently not.
Guido, my goldfish, caught Rona in spite of all precautions. Although he initially refused to put on a mask in the tank, he eventually did so and caught Covid despite it. @lapublichealthDo I need to leave my home and go to a hotel so he can recover? What should the quarantine period be? pic.twitter.com/mLEj4Ez9Ub

Hoge said that the jokes come by themselves. People have taken full advantage. LA UprisingA great riff on LADPH was done with some photoshopped PSAs that were spot-on about vaccinations for dogs, cats, and turtles.
“I’m Vaccinated Because… I Want To Sniff Butts Safely”
“I’m Vaccinated Because… I Need My Sense of Smell”
“I’m Vaccinated Because… I’m Amphibious”…
It continues as it does.
Then there is this clever parody account, not only doing a play on Barbara “Not A Real Doctor” Ferrer’s name, but skewering LADPH for their lack of transparency and refusal to interact with the public they purport to serve.
We are excited to see the launch @lapublichealthNew social media account to track animal COVID I, unlike the rest of my department, am available to answer any questions people may have regarding our program for testing animals for COVID.

Dr. Houman David Hemmati, who was pivotal in helping to combat Ferrer’s push for a new L.A. County mask mandate, had this perfect response:
Dr. Furrair has a PhD in veterinary social justice with a concentration on inter-breed equity and has strong connections to the animal “labor partners.” So she’s a perfect authority.
All jokes aside, the agency continues to sink deeper into trouble. Who is the idiot who admits they can’t face those whose lives they claim they protect? It’s a sad commentary on not only the depths of Ferrer’s incompetence, but is a clear indicator that the inmates run the asylum. Los Angeles County has close to 10,000,000 residents. It is California’s most populous county. LADPH is said to have an entire communications department, including a paid consultant. Brett MorrowWho’s supposed to be running point. It is interesting that his Twitter account has been locked off to public comment.
However, this is the benefit of hiring someone who has a Ph.D.
When you cannot effectively communicate and manage the questions and complaints of the population, then perhaps it’s time to hang up playing social justice warrior, and let real adults with actual medical and communication experience handle things.
This is just a thought.
Barbara Ferrer makes somewhere in the neighborhood of $637,066 a year (with benefits and “perks”), yet she would rather sit on Zoom conference calls and blather on about protecting unions and masking kids, than engage with the public and their concerns.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reminded of an exclusive Fox News report from 2020. Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, in collaboration with LADPH, renewed a $1.9 million contract without a bid. This money is slated for outreach and COVID information.
This is a reminder of the story I wrote in 2020. L.A. County & @lapublichealthThey spent taxpayer money to hire two communication firms for their COVID messaging. This has been a blatant waste of time and one of the most expensive in America. https://t.co/O7YVZxb3eW

COVID Pet testing and the rest of the malfeasance from this department are just another tactic to continue the COVID train. Los Angeles County BOS doesn’t have any excuses. Ferrer’s continued actions under the pretense of public safety only give the ammunition she needs to get fired and to take down the corrupt Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
And let’s not forget this expose documentary bringing more receipts for the cause to #FireFerrer.
