Idaho's Southwest District Health has become the first health board in the United States to defy the CDC and FDA by removing COVID-19 vaccines from its clinics. The decision was made after a narrow 4-3 vote by the board. The health board cited concerns about the safety of the vaccines as the primary reason for their removal. This decision affects 30 locations where the Southwest District Health provides healthcare services, including Canyon. The move has sparked significant reactions, with some viewing it as a brave decision and others expressing concern over the potential public health implications.
