Boise State Public Radio reports:

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.’

They were invited to participate by the only physician on the Southwest District board of health, Dr. John Tribble. The board initially heard a presentation from a district staff physician, Dr. Perry Jansen, who recommended keeping the vaccine available through the health district offices.

Per KTVB:

Southwest District Health will no longer offer COVID-19 vaccines.

Its board made the decision in a 4-3 vote on Tuesday after hours of testimony and heated debate. SWDH serves Canyon, Adams, Gem, Owyhee, Payette and Washington counties. Its board it made up of six county commissioners and one physician representative.

“It was a difficult decision,” said Kelly Aberasturi, Owyhee County Commissioner and board chair. “Though I’m … not real happy with it, I still understand it.”

The majority of the board decided to pull the vaccines because of what they are calling “safety concerns.” The meeting was contentious, with board members disagreeing about whether carrying the vaccines means the district is endorsing them.

“We are here to protect the public,” said Dr. John Tribble, the sole physician representative on the board. “If we have the possibility that we are doing harm, we need to take a step back.”

The board received hundreds of public comments before the meeting asking them to pull the vaccines. Payette County Commissioner Jennifer Riebe worried deciding not to offer the vaccines would create a slippery slope, opening up the possibility of banning the measles vaccine or the shingles vaccine.

“I just don’t feel comfortable as a board member making decisions about the quality of the pharmaceuticals and how they are produced,” she said. “I don’t think that’s our role.”
