Residents in the Southwest Idaho Health District will no longer be able to get vaccinated against COVID-19 at District Health offices.
The District’s Board of Health voted 4-3 Tuesday to remove the COVID-19 vaccines from its facilities after receiving around 300 public comments urging them to do so. The board vote followed anti-vaccine presentations from multiple doctors widely accused of spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation, including Idaho pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole.
Other presenters joined by teleconference, including Dr. Peter McCullough, a Texas-based cardiologist who had his medical certifications threatened by the American Board of Internal Medicine in 2022, pediatrician Dr. Renata Moon, who has sued Washington State University over free speech when the school did not renew her contract after an appearance before a 2022 U.S. Senate panel questioning vaccines, and Dr. James Thorp, an OB/GYN who was featured in the conspiracy-laden and widely debunked documentary ‘Died Suddenly.’
Avoid this state at all costs.
The state is known for two things. Potatoes and Nazis. I can get my carbs from some where else and don’t need the Nazis at all. It should be pretty easy to avoid.
There’s a lot of radioactive material buried in there too.
Some of it’s really pretty tho.
Radioactivity seems like another good thing to avoid. Though the possibility of superpowers is tempting.
Lots of places have pretty scenery.
Unfortunately Idaho has really incredible geology and ecology. The panhandle is nestled in a beautiful mountain range with lush pines and scenic towns like Wallace and Sandpoint. The southern regions have their gems too: Craters of the Moon for instance is one of the best western parks you’ve never heard of. Idaho is a gorgeous state, and it’s a complete shame how insane “libertarian” politics have turned it into a horror show.
