Idaho Health Department Is First to Ban Giving COVID-19 Vaccines

A regional public health department in Idaho has outright banned COVID-19 jabs, the Associated Press reported Friday. The Southwest District Health Department board, which governs six counties along the Idaho-Oregon border, voted 4-3 against the recommendations of the district’s medical director, Dr. Perry Jansen. “Our request of the board is that we would be able to carry and offer those [vaccines], recognizing that we always have these discussions of risks and benefits,” Jansen said at the meeting last month. “This is not a blind, everybody-gets-a-shot approach. This is a thoughtful approach.” The ban appears to be the first such instance of a U.S. governmental body blocking inoculations, the AP noted. Vaccine misinformation has been proliferated not only at the local and state levels but also nationally by the likes of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump’s transition team co-chair Howard Lutnick.

are amongst the poorest, many don't have insurance. I had to rely on the health department for a short period when I relocated from NY to GA. I did not have a job at that point. No medical insurance. -My son and I both got shots there at a low cost. I think he got his for free and I had to play a very low price.

I cannot understand why poor people keep voting for these horrible people.
