Santa Barbara County Public Health Director Steps Down
By edhat staff
Dr. Van Do-Reynoso will step down as Director of the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department this coming August. She will accept a new position at CenCal Health as its Chief Customer Experience Officer.
Do-Reynoso was previously the Public Health Director of Madera County and took the job in Santa Barbara in August of 2017. Not long after her start date, she became a steady force as the community suffered through the Thomas Fire in 2017, the Montecito Debris Flow in 2018, and the eruption of a global pandemic in 2020.
Do-Reynoso became a familiar face and calming voice of reassurance during sometimes daily press conferences as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded throughout the world and our community. She led the department in COVID-19 precautions, guidelines, testing, then vaccinations.
CenCal Health is a publicly-funded health care program designed for the low-income residents of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.

Covid-19 vaccination BNT162b2 temporarily impairs semen concentration and total motile count among semen donors.
Not a big deal, but do I dare ask the question.... ummmm, why? Seems odd as a side effect and no explanation on the effets of the boosters

Jun 22, 2022 06:09 PMUnder Reynoso, SB County had about 1.57 Covid deaths per thousand. By comparison, a county with a much more laissez-faire attitude towards Covid restrictions enjoyed a Covid death rate of 2.22 per thousand. This translates into about 300 more people alive in SB county than there would be if we used the OC method of Covid control.

We've heard all the disinformation multiple times.
It's politically motivated willful ignorance.
Thank you to Dr. Reynoso.
She did an outstanding job.

Jun 21, 2022 08:27 PMYes, yes … let’s all congratulate her… job well done!!! Can we applaud the school board too while we’re at it. Great job all around! Bars, open them… gyms, open them… Schools, oh heck no… close them!!!!

Jun 21, 2022 07:38 PMFun to see all the “schools should still be closed” crowd on here… I guess it makes sense. X number of edhatters are retired or work at home without kids so as long as wineries and Pilates classes are open, schools should be closed and we should close the 101 to any non locals !

Jun 21, 2022 05:01 PMSo Chillin, I did google it because I had no idea what that was. My read is that then you’re saying you have both an MD and an MPH and you’ve been employed at either or as a career too? Is that what you’re going for? Love it.

Jun 22, 2022 04:01 PM"A separate study, published in the journal Nature last week, found that Omicron may evolve mutations to evade the immunity elicited by having a previous BA.1 infection," ---- is this CNN article and study in Journal of Nature saying a prior infection did provide a level of immunity? -- do you know how many times that's been said here only to be replied with 'misinformation' or 'covidiot'?

Jun 21, 2022 09:56 PMSide effects, although uncommon, include fever, itching, and skin rash when taken by mouth;[11] and red eyes, dry skin, and burning skin when used topically for head lice.[54] Ivermectin is considered relatively free of toxicity in standard doses (around 300 µg/kg).[56][57] Based on the data drug safety sheet for ivermectin,[a] side effects are uncommon. ____The numbers are footnotes to take you to the non-wiki source of information. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin

Jun 21, 2022 04:36 PMA PhD in Public Health, yes you are correct. And that’d be less lucrative overall than an MD +/- the MPH. And your point is? Just to argue? Or that she should make more money? Say what you’re thinking.

Jun 21, 2022 01:55 PMShe’s compensated quite well for what she does. Public Health isn’t a big money maker. It’s typically a masters degree. I see the author is calling her doctor however, so unless someone’s mistaken there she got an MD-MPH degree. The County basically did parrot what the state said all along. Yes, stats were tracked along the way. A smart high school student can plug numbers into an Excel spreadsheet and generate Power Point graphs of that caliber however, quite easily. No doubt she’s had enough of the public eye and scrutiny - yes, that had to be difficult. She chose that when she went into Public Health however. It’s a lot of sitting at a desk crunching numbers, compiling data, making spreadsheets, meeting, small group presentations… until it’s not.

Ivermectin does nothing against COVID, and has serious side effects.
One must be very gullible to parrot such nonsense.

Jun 21, 2022 02:19 PMChillin, yea and? Most over the counter medicines can cause similar issues, or worse when overdosed on. Do you know what happens when you give kids Asiprin? You and @9:15 completely missed the comment, which was correcting @5:29's misinformation. Which was about side effects, not overdoses Chillin. Think before you type.

From the FDA:
"You can also overdose on ivermectin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension (low blood pressure), allergic reactions (itching and hives), dizziness, ataxia (problems with balance), seizures, coma and even death."

Jun 21, 2022 09:15 AMIvermectin may not work against covid but it certainly does not have serious side effects and has been used for decades to improve the lives of hundreds of millions, if not billions of people, particularly in poorer areas / 3rd world nations more prone to parasitic infections. After that comment @5:29 you're in no position to call out others "poor knowledge of medicine" or that someone is being "just willfully ignorant" as you say, because you showed us loud and clear you have one, if not both, of those traits.
