❌ No, Washington state is not considering a proposal to create internment camps for the unvaccinated.
Keith Grellner debunked the rumor, stating at the meeting,"The board is not considering isolation or quarantine camps for people that test positive for COVID or unvaccinated people. That is a false rumor and we will not be discussing that today."The Board is not voting to change isolation or quarantine policies at its meeting on Jan. 12.
Among the 26 WAC sections in Chapter 246-100, there are seven which relate to a local health officer’s authority in his/her jurisdiction to make someone isolate or quarantine to control the spread of a communicable disease. Washington is not exceptional in this regard as all 50 states have these laws on the books either in statute or, as is the case in our state, in code or both.
In 2020, HB 1551 passed to destigmatize and modernize the HIV/AIDS language in statute in Washington. Since that bill passed into law, the SBOH has been reviewing the HIV/AIDS code sections, which are also housed in WAC 246-100, and has been holding regular public discussions at each SBOH meeting to either propose language revisions or act on the duties prescribed in HB 1551. These efforts have been routine at SBOH meetings since 2020 and will continue into the future.
“No such vote to consider the internment of unvaccinated individuals will occur, nor is it even being considered. No one will be interred,” they wrote.
