In early December of 2024, the Alaska Department of Health held a meeting with its partners to formulate Alaska’s Statewide Immunization Coalition’s Strategic Plan for 2026-2030.
The coalition consists of “healthcare providers, tribal and regional health organizations, public health experts, state and local health departments, educational institutions, industry and corporate partners, and community advocates united by a common goal: to increase immunization rates and reduce the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases across Alaska.”
In reviewing the updated plan, it looks like more of the same strategies with an increased focus on technology to track vaccine status and how to get the vaccine-hesitant to submit.
I was surprised that the draft plan is mostly completed, but with no metrics. What amazed me most was that much of the draft was done in a one-day strategy session before the mission, values, and vision were even defined.
My 43-year experience writing strategic plans in both the Air Force and the Veterans Administration informs me that one must define the vision, mission and principles first.
Without defining their vision, mission, and values, this committee was able to establish five priorities:
- Build Trust
- Vaccine Positive Environment for Clinical Staff
- Equitable Access
- Data Modernization
- Increasing Immunization Rates
To build trust, the plan acknowledges there is a lot of vaccine hesitancy. The coalition plans to combat that by having community meetings, educating community leaders, conducting community listening sessions to understand vaccine concerns, and do more public service announcements on the ‘safety’ of vaccines.
I would have thought they might have focused on why people don’t trust the government and the medical profession. It is largely due to the Covid years, when mandates were pushed by agencies and officials who did not tell the whole truth.
Telling the truth would be a good place to start.
Even Dr. Anthony Fauci recognized these jab mandates “could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future,” according to Congressman Brad Wenstrup.
Nowhere in the strategic plan draft do I see they want to give any credence to the ongoing concerns people have about vaccines. But the state does want to track you. The state also wants the Department of Defense to provide vaccine information on military members and their families to add into the state ‘’database.”
To help clinicians get more children vaccinated, the plan states it will provide a list of resources to address vaccine hesitancy and “misformation.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be the source of these resources.
To reduce vaccine hesitancy for children, this plan recommends that clinicians do not ask the parent(s) if vaccine is desired. Instead, the clinicians are to assume the parents have already planned to have their children vaccinated.
In other words, don’t ask parents what they want to do about shots, just tell them these shots are needed today. As if that were the only choice.
An even more aggressive strategy is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It has developed a “Refusal to Vaccinate template.” The parent must sign that s/he is not going to vaccinate the child against one or more of the “vaccines recommended” and has read the side-effects that could occur to the unvaccinated child. This is capped off with a warning that death could occur for most of the listed diseases.
This is probably the ultimate use of fear—a parent signing a death warrant for their child.
Wouldn’t it be great if they did the same thing when telling you to vaccinate? Perhaps they could give you a form that delineates major side effects beyond a sore arm or fever or irritability.
Maybe the provider could recommend spacing the shots out over a few weeks instead of giving all at the same time. This might be better for the child’s immune system.
How about providing information to include giving a child seven vaccines on the same day may be deadly? Here is information from the December’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System data:
1) 3-mo-old boy in Illinois vaccinated on Dec. 26, 2024 with three doses of seven vaccines died that day. The day after Christmas.
2) 2-mo-old boy in South Carolina vaccinated Nov. 25, 2024 with one dose of six vaccines died a week later, on Dec. 1.
I suspect they don’t want to share that information because the data are inconvenient truths that vaccines do present risks to include death.
With informed consent, you can decide which risk is higher.
Especially troubling to me is the push for mRNA jabs found in Covid Vaccines and the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine will be soon available. It is also an mRNA jab. The Covid jab is recommended by CDC for children six month to four years is three shots—one at six months, one at eight months and then a booster.
Bear in mind to the best of my knowledge no child in Alaska has died from Covid.
In December of 2024, “elected officials, organizations — including the World Council for Health and Door to Freedom — and hundreds of doctors and researchers sent a letter to the heads of state of 10 European countries calling for a suspension of the “modified mRNA vaccines,” citing serious health concerns associated with the shots.”
And then there is the Hepatitis B vaccine. The CDC pushes for the first shot to be given at birth.
Why does an infant need a vaccine that protects it from a disease that is spread by risky behavior, semen and other body fluids? Is an infant really at risk in a home with none of the risky behaviors identified?
The CDC states that no one wants to take the risk that the mother is not telling the truth about drug use or other risky behaviors.
Until 1991, the CDC only recommended Hepatitis B vaccinations for those in a specific high risk group. Now every baby should be vaccinated to cover for the mothers who don’t want to tell you the truth.
One more example is the chickenpox vaccine. CDC did a study that stated it helps prevent chickenpox, but it can lead to a worse case of shingles later.
Even more interesting is the United Kingdom’s stance on the chicken pox vaccine because of these facts. It does acknowledge it helps protect against chickenpox but only recommends it for “people in close contact with someone who has a higher risk of getting seriously ill from chicken pox.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in an interview with Real Clear Politics, also pointed out “the four companies that make vaccines in this country, Merck, Zinovy, Glaxo, and Pfizer, have paid over $35 billion dollars in criminal penalties over the past decade for lying to doctors, for falsifying science, for defrauding regulators.” So, buyer beware.
I am not an anti-vaxxer. However, I believe you should have the whole truth before submitting your child to the 72 vaccines recommended for children in their formative years.
Find a provider with whom you can have an honest discussion of the pros and cons to each vaccine so you can make an informed decision.
You need to be making the vaccine decisions for your child. Not the state nor the federal government.
Your child’s life may literally depend on that.

Nameless, faceless bureaucrats and their nameless and faceless industry sponsored advisors that mandate actions to be taken upon the public will ALWAYS lack the capacity to build trust. Ultimately, theirs is not a safe position to be maintaining, and one day they are apt to find that out the hard way.
Questions(???):
… Are these immunizations // vaccinations a mandate?
… Can people ‘opt-out’ of these shots, without prejudice?
… Are there any side effects // risks to taking these shots?
… What is the legal recourse should something bad happen afterwards?
… Whom within the health system is liable and/or indemnified?
… Based on the C19 and Boosters Shots, what proof is there these shots are safe?
… Why are newborns required to now take 30+ toxic immunizations when back in the day, 50 years ago, I only had to take less than 10?
… Are these multiple immunizations causing the exponential rise in kids potentially developing debilitating chronic diseases and autism?
… For those administrating these shots, are they abiding by their “Hippocratic Oath” fiduciary responsibility and obligations?
I didn’t finish reading before recognizing the usual “no responsibility, no liability,
No obligations” governmental mentality.
Didn’t take any of the “Jabs” then and will not now or in the future.
Put my faith in CBD before Covid during Covid and to date continue with CBD.
But, that’s just me

Educate the public ( parents ) honestly about benefits and side effects . Let parents make informed choices for their children & not blindly follow a dictated protocol. Education is always the answer .
Thank you, Linda! Keep up the excellent work!
My body, my choice, anyone?
It’s between me and my healthcare provider?
Take your VacTrack, DHHS, and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
“Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.” – Thomas Paine
Any and every government should NEVER be trusted. That is THE foundation of LIBERTY. Maybe we should be thanking our politicians and administrative state for making it so easy for us to be reminded of that.
“If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized … If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance — you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest.” – Ian Watson
72 vaccines and not a single one of them necessary, truth be told. It’s probably wise to avoid some things like polio, but that’s mostly a non-issue since the disease barely exists. Chicken pox doesn’t kill kids, and can actually make their systems stronger. Etc. Since we never hear the other side of the argument, I expect it is like most progressive causes–all noise, no substance. As I recall, we used to need about 12 shots before school, over the first five years of life. After that, nearly nothing except the occasional tetanus shot. Are kids healthier now? Don’t beleve so.
