Deadly overdoses on track to hit record high in Washington

YakTriNews.com July 22, 2021 1:21 PM BELLEVUE, Wash.  We’ve heard a lot about how fatal overdose numbers spiked during 2020, but new data shows so far this year, Washington state is on track to have even more deaths. The state health department says it’s an alarming epidemic that’s largely driven by fentanyl. Officials say the drug is so dangerous, they’re taking a more unconventional approach to combating the issue. “We’ve had almost 420 overdose deaths of which almost 50% have been due to fentanyl,” says Dr. Bob Lutz with the Washington State Department of Health. 420 overdose deaths in the first three months of the year is 40 more deaths than we had during that period in 2020.

Rantz: State Attorney General draft policy warns staff to get vaccinated or be fired

Rantz: State Attorney General draft policy warns staff to get vaccinated or be fired (AP file photo) A new draft policy from the Washington Attorney General’s Office would require the department’s employees to be fully vaccinated and submit proof, or be summarily fired. Acquired by the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH, the policy would even apply if the AG’s Office maintains a telework option, according to a memo that accompanied the draft. The draft memo effectively blames the vaccine mandate on disabled and/or religious staff for either being unable or unwilling to get vaccinated. The impetus around the mandate is to protect those staffers from COVID. Staff who fall into either category may seek accommodation, but it’s not guaranteed. Volunteers and office visitors must abide by the same policies.
