Defendants.

Thomas William Dodson, M.D., declares:

1. I am a physician practicing General and Forensic Psychiatry in Portland,

Oregon, and make this Declaration in support of plaintiffs' motion for equitable relief

concerning the emergency Executive Orders of the Governor. I practice adult psychiatry

in the Goose Hollow neighborhood and have been self-employed full time there for

Page 1: DECLARATION OF DR. THOMAS DODSON

twenty seven years. I am past President of the Oregon Psychiatric Physicians

Association, Board Certified in Psychiatry with Added Qualifications in Forensic

Psychiatry, Clinical Associate Professor of Oregon Health Sciences University, and

Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. I am on the hospital staff

at Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital, Legacy Emanuel Hospital, and Providence St.

Vincent Hospital. I have enclosed my curriculum vitae which outlines my education and

professional activities. I make this declaration based on my medical knowledge, clinical

experience and judgment, and knowledge of available data from states and governments.

2. Oregon’s response to COVID-19 has been to institute policies as outlined

in the complaint. Initially we had concerns that COVID-19 would cause so much illness

that our hospitals would not be able to provide the care that was available. We have

learned that we can cope with the medical aspects of COVID-19 and have enough of bed

space, ventilators, and supplies to manage the current patient loads. Hospitals have surge

plans in place and we have the resources both locally and federally to help, should there

be need in the future. We know that the major risk of COVID-19 is among those who are

elderly and who have comorbid illnesses like hypertension, asthma, COPD (chronic

obstructive pulmonary disease), Diabetes, and Obesity. We know that people with

compromised immune systems are also at increased risk of death. Immunity is

developing from this illness and when it develops further in the population the incidence

of the disease will decrease. We have one expedited FDA approved drug for COVID-19,

remdesivir, which lessens the duration of illness. The infection fatality rate (number of

people who have been infected with the virus and have died) as estimated by the World

Health Organization is .94 percent. Oregon’s current estimate of the number of people

Page 2: DECLARATION OF DR. THOMAS DODSON

infected with COVID 10 and expected to die is .8 percent. Litigation involving COVID-

19 have utilized precedents in 1905 based on the case fatality rate during the smallpox

epidemic. The case fatality rate is based on the number of people who have become ill

with the virus and have died. Smallpox had a case fatality rate of 30 percent. The case

fatality rate in Oregon is currently 4 percent.1 The impact of the decisions that were

made during the course of the epidemic and today, will not fully be understood and

appreciated for two to three years. Oregon has been required to make decisions based on

very limited information.

3. The eradication of COVID-19 is unlikely, and we most likely will be

living with this illness from this time forward. Oregon hospitals have provided good care

for our citizens and are prepared to continue providing care in the event of future surges

which are likely. There have not been massive serious infections among our health

personnel in hospitals which might imperil our ability to cope with this virus. Our

citizens for the most part have been very compliant with government recommendations

both federally and on the state level. The majority of Oregon citizens have been

sacrificing their liberty and pursuit of happiness for the benefit of people in the most

vulnerable populations. The very structural integrity of our country was questioned

seriously by a variety of statisticians around the world who have fortunately been wrong.2

Many of our statistical models have been proven wrong and statistical models cannot,

with certainty, tell us what will happen in the future. Different statisticians working with

the same data can come to different conclusions. Oregon places great faith in data and

science in making its decisions about when and how to move forward.

4. Oregon has not shown that there is consensus within the medical

community at large in Oregon that the measures it is taking are necessary. Oregon seems

to have relied on the refined knowledge of statistical modeling which is understood by

few because of its complexity and has high variance among its professionals. Oregon’s

reliance on statistical modeling, a very complex endeavor, likely not fully appreciated by

the political office holders making the decisions, represents a significant concern for it

being misused for political purposes. Politicians are putting their trust in statisticians

without the education and background to fully understand their reasoning. This allows

political figures to empower statisticians who may or may not have significant biases. In

addition statistical modeling is based on assumption and theory. Different statisticians

with the same data can come to very different conclusions from that data. The statistical

modeling that is used is often dramatically changed over time by emerging new

assumptions and data. It is known that statistical modeling failed during the HIV

epidemic.3 Statistical modeling is theoretical and based on assumptions. Statistical

models will always turn out to be wrong in some way or other, because they rely on very

strong assumptions about aspects of disease we haven’t thoroughly studied yet. In

addition, the utility of the science of COVID-19 is limited and over reliance on science

that is not integrated with clinical judgment can cause negative impacts on mortality and

morbidity.

 5. The statistics that I have compiled are not based on statistical modeling

and are easily obtainable from state and federal websites.4 I have included two charts,

one which shows the number of fatalities as of 5/6/20. By a simple calculation, I have

been able to arrive at the number of cases per one hundred thousand based on the

equation of x/100,000 = number of fatalities/population. The second chart shows the

cause of death per 100,000 of various Oregon diseases compiled by the Oregon Health

Authority as occurred in 2018.5

6. The chart shows where COVID-19 stands as of May 6, 2020 in regards to

the causes of death. It is currently the 18th leading cause of death in Oregon. As deaths

rise from COVID-19 it will move up the chart. The COVID-19 statistics are based on

approximately 2 months when the first Oregon fatality occurred. The infectious nature of

COVID-19 makes its incidence dynamic over time and not static like most of the other

numbers in the chart. As such it is not possible to extrapolate accurately what the death

will be over a 12-month period. How far COVID-19 moves up the chart over the year

will depend on the role of known variables. These include whether the virus subsides in

the summer, whether it will return and surge, whether effective treatments will reduce

mortality, the effectiveness of social distancing measures, whether a vaccine is available,

whether herd immunity is established, the current extent of people who have immunity,

and the extent to which physicians refine current treatment efforts and other factors.

7. Oregon’s use of police powers to abrogate the liberty of our citizens has or

will cause an increase in emotional, mental, and behavioral illness. There are statistics

6
Based on only 2 months and not strictly comparable to the data from other causes of
death which are based on 12 months

Page 7: DECLARATION OF DR. THOMAS DODSON

that are available both historically and contemporaneously in Oregon, and nationally, that

are associated with mental health mortality and morbidity that pertain to an assessment of

the effects of COVID. These are as follows

Alcohol and Drug Sales:

1) The Oregon Liquor Control Commission says state-controlled liquor stores sold

close to $66 million in distilled spirits in March, a 20% increase compared to the

previous year and a new record for the month.7

2) According to Oregon's Liquor Control Commission, marijuana sales in the state

reached nearly $85 million last month. That's more than a $20 million increase,

compared to last March.8

8. Alcohol Use Disorder is a common disorder with a prevalence in adults in

the United States of 8.5 percent. It is much greater among men than women (12.5

percent versus 4.9 percent). Race/ Ethnic subgroups vary in prevalence with Hispanics

6.0 percent, Native Americans and Alaskan Natives 5.0 percent, Whites 5.0 percent,

African Americans 1.8 percent, and Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders 1.6 percent.

Alcohol use disorder is associated with the risk of accidents, violence, and suicide. It is

estimated that one in five intensive care unit admissions in some urban hospitals is related

to alcohol and that 40 percent of individuals experience an adverse event at some time in

their lives. Alcohol accounts for up to 55 percent of fatal driving events.9 The increase

in alcohol sales are likely leading to increased consumption, relapse in alcohol use

disorder individuals in remission, and the development of increased prevalence of alcohol

use disorder in the population. Stress levels are an associated risk factor for the

development of alcohol use disorders as well. Oregon has consistently ranked in the top

ten states for alcohol use disorders.10 We can expect increased rates of fatal car

accidents, violence, and suicide all related to the stress associated with actions instituted

by Oregon during COVID-19. The increase in alcohol use disorder prevalence will likely

lead to additional mortality related to cirrhosis, cardiovascular disease, and dementia.

9. Cannabis Use Disorder is used to cope with physiological or psychological

problems. Higher cognitive functions are compromised in cannabis users and the

relationship appears to be dose dependent both acutely and chronically. This may

contribute to increased difficulty at school or work. It is related to a reduction in

prosocial goal directed activity which has been labeled by some as the motivational

syndrome which manifests itself in poor school performance and employment problems.

Suicide Rates:

1) The U.S. suicide rate was 12.1 per 100,000 from 1920 to 1928 during the

Roaring Twenties. After the stock market crash of 1929, the suicide rate skyrocketed

50% to 18.1 per 100,000. The suicide rate over the next decade of economic

 depression (1930-1940) stayed at a terribly high 15.4 per 100,000, until the national

emergency of World War II, when it declined significantly.11

2) After the 2008 economic crisis, rates of suicide increased in the European and

American countries studied, particularly in men and in countries with higher levels of

job loss. The increases in suicide mainly occurred in men in the 27 European and 18

American counties; the suicide rates were 4.2% (3.4% to 5.1%) and 6.4% (5.4% to

7.5%) higher, respectively, in 2009 than expected if earlier trends had continued.12

3) Unemployment is a well-established risk factor for suicide. In fact, 1 in 3 people

who die by suicide are unemployed at the time of their deaths. For every one-point

increase in the unemployment rate, the suicide rate tends to increase .78 points. One

of the silent drivers of our current suicide crisis is the high percentage of working-age

men not participating in the labor force.

10. The suicide rates in Oregon are elevated compared to other states in the

US. If we extrapolate data from the stock market crash of 1929, the Great Depression,

and the recession of 2008 we can make estimates about the suicide rate as associated with

COVID-19 in Oregon. There were 864 suicides in Oregon in 2019. A fifty percent rise in

the suicide rate like what was associated with the stock market collapse would indicate

that the number of suicides would be 1,296. The number of additional suicide deaths

would be 432. If we use a 5.3 percent increase in suicide that was associated with the

recession in 2008 the additional deaths would be 46 by suicide per year and the total 910

suicide deaths. If we use the great depression of a 15.4 percent increase the suicide

additional suicides per year would be 133 for a total of 997 per year. Financial stress is

associated with the risk of suicide in our culture. Oregon will experience an increase in

suicide related to the detrimental effects on employment caused by Oregon’s actions

during COVID-19.

Domestic Violence:

1) Domestic Violence Calls to the Bend Police Department have increased 20

percent over levels in 2018 and 2019 during the COVD-19 lockdown13

2) Domestic violence arrests are up 27% year-over-year between March 12 and

March 23, Portland Police Bureau Chief Jami Resch said Wednesday, and a 12%

increase in arrests compared to the two weeks before Portland’s emergency

declaration14

IPV, says sexual and gender minorities are also at an increased risk for domestic

 violence during the COVID-19 pandemic, partly because of the stressors they already

experience as marginalized members of society.15

4) Children are also especially vulnerable to abuse during the pandemic, says child

psychologist Yo Jackson, PhD, associate director of the Child Maltreatment Solutions

Network at Penn State. Research shows that increased stress levels among parents is

often a major predictor of physical abuse and neglect of children, she says.16

5) The percentage of women who consider their mental health to be poor is almost

three times higher among women with a history of violence than among those

without.17

6) Women with disabilities have a 40 percent greater risk of intimate partner

violence, especially severe violence, than women without disabilities.18

7) On average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or

boyfriends every day.19

 11. A history of domestic violence is common in my patients and often tied in

with the issues which interfere with their social and occupational functioning and also

their distress. In addition, childhood sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and

neglect are common and can be a major contributor to the outcome in their lives. Child

abuse is a risk factor for many mental health problems including Intellectual Disability,

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder, Social Anxiety disorder, Panic disorder,

Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Post

Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bulimia Nervosa, Conduct Disorders, Personality disorders20

and other disorders. By definition, these disorders are associated with varying elements

of social impairment, occupational impairment, or distress. There will be an accumulated

mental health disorder burden associated with the rise in domestic violence caused by

Oregon’s actions during COVID-19.

12. Oregon’s actions during COVID-19 treat individual Oregonians as being

unable to keep themselves, their neighbors, and their community safe by voluntary

means. State recommendations rather than police powers would have been less

detrimental to and more conducive to reducing future passivity and helplessness in

Oregonians in their interaction with government. Oregon citizens run the very real risk

of being demoralized, passive, and helpless in addition to being broke, by Oregon’s

continued use of Executive Order. The result of this deprivation of liberty in the future

will be anger. How Oregonian’s deal with that anger is unknown. They may turn it

against themselves and become self-destructive. They may develop a passive and

fatalistic attitude about their capability to be in control of their life. They may direct it

20
DSM-5 American Psychiatric Association 2013.

Page 13: DECLARATION OF DR. THOMAS DODSON

against the government in antisocial ways. Or they may use it in a positive way to work

harder to build a more democratic, rather than a more totalitarian government, a less top

down and a more grassroots and collaborative relationship with its citizenry.

13. The effects of the Executive Orders will likely have effects on worker

motivation and productivity well into the future which will affect the states revenue and

capacity to meet its financial obligations to its most vulnerable and ill citizens. Sustained

unemployment is associated with a reduction in employment drive and discipline in

people. It is likely that suicide, homicide, child abuse, alcoholism, drug use, and

criminality will increase because of the stress associated with a government, deeply in

debt, which can’t prove that it will put food on the table, pay a mortgage or rent, and

provide employment. While Oregon has relied on science, the science is not established

about COVID-19. The overreliance on statistical modeling by Oregon during COVID-19

has been counterproductive to deciding what is best for Oregonians' health. Oregon has

failed to reach out to all the states physicians, nurses, naturopaths, and osteopaths, across

private, public, and charitable health efforts and figured in the input into decision making.

Oregon has not shown that there is consensus within the medical community at large in

Oregon that the measures it is taking are necessary. In a circumstance such as this,

requiring clinical judgment, the state has overly relied on the refined knowledge of

statistical modeling which is understood by few because of its complexity and it also has

high variance.

14. In my opinion, the effect of a continued lockdown in Oregon will be

detrimental to the mental, emotional, and behavioral health of Oregonians. The use of

the Executive Order and Oregon’s Police Powers during COVID-19 will have long

Page 14: DECLARATION OF DR. THOMAS DODSON

lasting impacts upon Oregon citizens who have been treated as if they don’t have the

capability of dealing with the realities of a communicable disease without being forced to

act the way in which the government instructs. Oregon could have utilized its capacity to

engage in a sustained and balanced public information campaign to educate and provide

guidance to its citizens as we moved through this pandemic. It could have reserved its

police powers to those who exhibited gross negligence in their conduct. Instead Oregon

has treated its citizenry as people who can’t be trusted to understand the public health

issues and to do what is right for their neighbors, community, and themselves. Whether

the anger associated with this violation of liberty will be directed in positive ways,

conducive of strengthening our democratic and constitutional values, or negative ways in

the form of passivity in relation to government or aggression toward their fellow citizens

or themselves are yet to be determined. Oregon should drop the Executive Orders

immediately, implement balanced educational information by various media, and switch

to voluntary measures by its citizens based on a balanced combination of statistics, the

available science which needs to be tempered with its utility in making this decision, and

broad input of all health care providers in Oregon.

I certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
