Dr. Joel Wallskog, cofounder of React19 and recent speaker at the “Alaskans 4 Personal Freedom” event, has been fighting the good fight.
He shared the story of his career-ending injury. Following the Covid-19 jab, he lost the ability to do orthopedic surgery.
He took that negative reaction and turned it into a positive reaction by focusing his time and energy on providing a voice and legal assistance to those who were severely injured by the Covid “vaccine.”
Members of his team are going county to county in Idaho in hopes of convincing Idaho regional public health boards to stop providing Covid-19 jabs to its residents.
It appears the Southwest District of Idaho is the first in the nation to ban public health units from giving the Covid-19 jabs. This is a six-county district “along the Idaho-Oregon border and includes three counties in the Boise metropolitan area”. This is a step further than what Florida or Texas did.
Texas has stopped public health departments from promoting the jab. Florida’s surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, has recommended against having Floridians take the jab.
“I’m not aware of anything else like this,” said Adriane Casalotti, chief of government and public affairs for the National Association of County and City Health Officials. She said health departments have stopped offering the vaccine because of cost or low demand in the past, but not based on “a judgment of the medical product itself.”
Granted this regional district has seen a decrease in people seeking the Covid shot. The numbers for 2021 were 1,601 and so far, this year only 64 have gotten the shot. The same is said to be true for other vaccines, with Idaho leading the nation in childhood vaccination exemption rates.
The vote by the board was extremely close — a four to three vote, despite the testimony of the Southwest medical director saying this vaccine was a “necessity.” Dr. Perry Jansen said they wanted to continue to give this jab and said, “we always have these discussions of risks and benefits.”
From my nursing perspective, I don’t believe that was the case. I don’t remember hearing anything about side-effects except for the few you normally hear about vaccines, and few of which are too serious. That is a far cry from what we have learned since that initial, “you will die without it.” propaganda.
No wonder people are more skeptical of any and all vaccines today.
It would seem more than 290 people gave public comments—the majority of which called either for ending the vaccine mandate or halting the taxpayer funding of it. Many nationally known speakers spoke out against giving this jab, including Dr. Peter McCullough, a Texas cardiologist who spoke at our Alaska Covid Alliance event in 2023.
Board Chairman Kelly Aberasturi understood the concerns but was “disappointed” with the board’s decision. Ironically, he stated, “the board had overstepped the relationship between patients and their doctors.” Tell that to the people who refused the jab at the beginning or who sought alternative therapies.
The “my body my choice” only seems to apply to one situation according to the elitists.
The door may be closed to obtaining the jab at this regional health department, but Covid-19 vaccines are still available at community health centers for people who are uninsured. Of interest, the board members who were in favor of the ban felt that allowing the jab in these public health departments made it look like they were signing off on their safety.
Since the Covid years, people are more unwilling to give their children vaccines by the schedule recommended by CDC. Vaccination rates among kindergartners have dropped And more and more parents are asking for exemptions https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/mm7341a3.htm?s_cid=mm7341a3_w.
I am not an anti-vaxxer. I am opposed to mRNA shots of any kind. I believe in some childhood vaccines but not all; nor do I agree with giving five or more shots to a child at the same time. Each parent should really evaluate the benefit versus the side-effects.
I believe people should have a choice. Do you want a Covid jab? Get it. Just make sure you’ve looked at all the possible side-effects and decide for yourself with your provider if it is right for you.
We cannot allow government mandates for future vaccinations. Remember, “My body, my choice.” It’s a shame many of us had no choice during the Covid years.
More and more information is coming out. Stay informed.

No wonder doctors are leaving Idaho for States that protect public health
Frank, maybe you can connect OBGYN’s leaving for states where they can kill babies to not giving Covid vaccines. Are you saying that they want more than one way to kill people?
As you know, the Florida SG has been promised the HHS job if Trump gets elected. He is a political hack, a yes man, and one scorned by the Healthcare community.
And yet still made the right call regardless.
The 1986 Child Safety Act must be repealed! When vaccine manufacturers are forced to pay for injuries caused by unsafe vaccines there won’t be any unsafe vaccines! People before profits! Restore American Health Again. It is time to hold big pharma responsible. It is time to reform FDA and CDC. No more drugs or vaccines should be approved until third party testing without conflict of interest is completed.
No Satan Sauce for me, so you can have mine.
I was threatened by a well known doctor here in Anchorage because I refused the shot with no treatment in that clinic and possible firing from the clinic. I told them, “Go for what you think you have to do and so will I!” So, the mess will go on for a long time and I’m for anyone wanting to sue the medical profession that aligns with such thinking.
The FDA is operated for the benefit of large RX Corporations, public safety is an ancillary priority. The bottom line of the corporations is profit motivated. The fluid manner the individuals move between top government agency positions and corporate boards is indicative of the positions on and the regulations they create.
Hospitals and doctors receive financial remuneration for pushing, phrased as “prescribing” drugs to soften the reality that the medical establishment are largely sophisticated drug pushers.
A typical vaccine development timeline takes 5 to 10 years, and sometimes longer, to assess whether the vaccine is safe and efficacious in clinical trials. The development for Covid “vaccines” skipped the timeline, and are proven neither “safe or efficacious”.
It is not necessary to have a medical license or doctorate in medicine to comprehend the corruption and utter recklessness of releasing, subsidizing or forcing the use of trial drugs on the entire population.
Fear mongers peddling big pharma! Covid jab peddlers are for the most part simply criminals preying on the innocent. I was almost fired for objecting to get the jab, only timing saved me, as the china virus stats started easing.
Twice in my life I got the flu vaccines and got sick for a few days each time!
Never again will I allow big pharma to attack my body with their crap! Did we learn anything about loss of liberty during Covid?
I don’t think we need to vaccinate our pets to the extent that is recommended either. The only science I trust is what is written in the bible. In my opinion vaccines are predominately a money-making scheme by big pharma but I think we are getting close to finding out if that hypothesis is correct or not.
