A regional public health department in Idaho is no longer providing COVID-19 vaccines to residents in six counties after a narrow decision by its board.

Southwest District Health appears to be the first in the nation to be restricted from giving COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccinations are an essential function of a public health department.

While policymakers in Texas banned health departments from promoting COVID vaccinesopens in a new tab or window and Florida’s surgeon generalopens in a new tab or window bucked medical consensus to recommend against the vaccine, governmental bodies across the country haven’t blocked the vaccinesopens in a new tab or window outright.

    Opposite Jansen’s plea were more than 290 public comments, many of which called for an end to vaccine mandates or taxpayer funding of the vaccines, neither of which are happening in the district. At the meeting, many people who spoke are nationally known for making the rounds to testify against COVID vaccines, including Peter McCullough, MD, a Texas cardiologist who sells “contagion emergency kits” that include ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

    JFC. The lunatics are running the asylum and heading to spread their shit in other states.
