Tom LoSapio, during a 2021 Board of Education meeting, demonstrating the futility of wearing a mask to stop Wuhan virus infections.
LoSapio's introductory letter to Board of Commissioners: "For the last two years, I have attended Board of Health meetings and have been speaking at these meetings to bring the Board and the community information contrary to the CDC data that is selectively and singularly presented to this board by the Moore County Health Department. "It is obvious that critical information regarding Covid-19 from researchers and scientists around the world is not being presented and may, in fact, be excluded from all Health Department presentations made to the Board of Health.”
LoSapio, 66, was appointed to the board as an at-large member by the county’s Board of Commissioners on January 24.
The 11-member health board includes three at-large seats eligible to be filled by any county citizen who submits an application. LoSapio was appointed to one of two at-large seats being vacated in 2023 by term limits; a second at-large member will be appointed this August when the term of at-large member and board chair Tony Price lapses. Two additional seats — held by members of the medical profession — also will term out this year, one in August to be filled by an optometrist, another in September to be filled by a veterinarian.
One additional member is a liaison from the Board of Commissioners. Newly elected commissioner Kurt Cook is replacing Frank Quis in that seat effective immediately.
Quis, in the January 24 meeting, appeared to attempt to derail LoSapio’s appointment on a procedural technicality. Quis alleged that LoSapio failed to submit a formal application expressing his desire to join the health board. That contention was duly reported by The Pilot on January 26, but the newspaper later revised its reporting in a version posted online by citing a clarification by the clerk of commissioners, Laura Williams. Williams confirmed that LoSapio submitted an application and letter on January 19. Both were distributed to the commissioners, including Quis, on January 20.
After LoSapio’s ascension to the health board, The Pilot rushed to challenge his qualifications because LoSapio has repeatedly criticized the board’s recommendations to keep schools closed, enforce mask wearing and, eventually, promote injections of mRNA under emergency orders minus appropriate trials conducted by pharmaceutical manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna.
