I was glad to see that only eight to 10 people showed up at Tim Fox’s “race for governor” press conference in Kalispell last Thursday. That eight to 10 included Tim Fox, his lieutenant governor, Gas Tax Garner, the photographer and the interviewer. Pathetic showing of support, and that is a good sign that the locals have figured out that Tim Fox is not good for Montana.

Fox has shown us that he will not stand up for our gun rights. As our elected attorney general, he did not show up in support of a single pro-gun rally in 2017. And at the 2019 legislative session, he did not take a stand against gun confiscation red flag laws.

We see through you, Tim Fox. Your so-called public safety plan cannot protect us if you don’t respect and support our right to protect ourselves.

Regarding Dr. Bukacek’s appointment to the Flathead County Board of Health: There are many valid reasons for a person to have serious misgivings about vaccinating themselves or their children.

The cells of aborted human embryos are used in the manufacture of vaccines, DNA fragments from those cells can end up in the recipient’s genes through spontaneous cellular and nuclear DNA uptake.

Pre-licensing clinical trials on the MMRII vaccine performed by the FDA were minimal, involving 835 children who were followed for only 42 days and were compared only with the outcomes of other vaccinated children, not an unvaccinated control group. Even those findings reported high rates of side effects.

All claims against vaccine manufacturers for harm incurred by vaccine recipients is paid by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, a federal program funded by you and I, the taxpayers. The vaccine manufacturers bear no responsibility and therefore have little incentive to ensure the safety and efficacy of their product.

I could continue, but even these few examples should alert the reader that they should look into this subject more deeply. These are all facts that can easily be researched by anyone, however, most of us rely on the supposed expertise of our medical providers. Dr. Bukacek only wants the public to be truly informed and will provide much needed, diverse input from outside mainstream medical opinion. Appointing her to the County Health Board was, in fact, a very rational decision.
