Robert Wharff HD 49 & Taylor Allred HD 21 include additional comments. A big thank you to these candidates who took time out of their busy schedules to respond to our survey on short notice this year in order to help our members & supporters to have the opportunity to know where candidates align in regards to protecting health freedom in Wyoming.
Parental Rights:
Do you support unrestricted rights of families and individuals to be free from vaccine mandates and will you vote to uphold our state's medical and religious vaccine exemptions for school entry? (yes, no, other)
Dan Young SD 8: YES
Edward Cooper SD 20: YES
John Harvey HD 43: YES
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: YES
Robert Wharff HD 49: YES, It is a parents right to decide which vaccines if any their child should receive and it is a violation of the constitution to prevent entry into school.
Taylor Allred HD 21: YES, I will fight to keep families free from mandates. Families should not have to get an exemption for school entry. The state can encourage vaccine use but requiring it is wrong and I will always oppose such mandates.
In the case of a gravely ill child whose parents are declining allopathic medical treatment, do you support the parent’s rights to decline medical care? (yes, no, other)
Dan Young SD 8: YES
Edward Cooper SD 20: YES
John Harvey HD 43: YES
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: UNSURE
Robert Wharff HD 49: YES, it is within the Parent's rights to decide the medical treatment path for their children just as it is their right as adults to choose the medical care they want.
Taylor Allred HD 21: Allopathic medicine is not always the right answer. Individuals have the right to choose for themselves if that is the treatment they speak or if they would like to use other treatments.
Do you support mandated licensure for naturopathic doctors? (yes, no, other)
Dan Young SD 8: NO
Edward Cooper SD 20: UNSURE
John Harvey HD 43: NO
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: NO
Robert Wharff HD 49: NO, licensure leads to more government regulation and bureaucracy which destroys quality of care. Government needs to get out of the health care business entirely.
Taylor Allred HD 21: NO, Licensure does not equate to competency. It generally means an individual has jumped through the proper hoops and paid the necessary fee to do business. I am generally opposed to licensing requirements. I am 100% opposed to naturopathic licensing by allopathic practitioners.
Toxins:
As a private business owner, do farmers have the right to use chemicals such as Roundup (glyphosate) that are known to endanger public health? (yes, no, other)
Dan Young SD 8: NO,
Edward Cooper SD 20: YES,
John Harvey HD 43: UNSURE,
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: YES,
Robert Wharff HD 49: YES, they have the right to use them but citizen's also have a right to know that they were used and subsequently decide whether or not they want to purchase foods containing a harmful substance.
Taylor Allred HD 21: I oppose the use of harmful chemicals but private business owners have a right to use them if they desire. I would require that all products produced with the crops be labeled in a manner that lets consumers know traces may be present. They should also not be shielded from liability from injuries.
CBD Regulation:
Do you support Wyoming citizens who seek to use CBD as a treatment for themselves and/or children? Do you support Wyoming citizens who seek to use marijuana as a medical treatment? (yes, no, other)
Dan Young SD 8: YES
Edward Cooper SD 20: NO,
John Harvey HD 43: YES,
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: NO,
Robert Wharff HD 49: YES, CBD has been shown to help with many conditions.
Taylor Allred HD 21: YES, I fully support the use of CBD oil for medical treatment. I oppose the use of Marijuana. The same effects can be had with CBD oil with out negative side effects and the high.

Dan Young SD 8: NO,
Edward Cooper SD 20: NO,
John Harvey HD 43: YES,
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: NO,
Robert Wharff HD 49: NO, THC is a hallucinogen and though a claim can be made that Marijuana hasn't killed anybody, the effects (altered state of mind) of THC have.
Taylor Allred HD 21: OTHER, I support decriminalization of marijuana for personal use. I oppose legislation and decriminalization of distribution.
Legislative Oversight:
Do believe that the Wyoming Department of Health can make vaccine changes (which includes mandating any vaccine and implementing a third party tracking system) without proper legislative oversight and the governor can sign off on them without effective input from the legislature? (yes, no, other)
Dan Young SD 8: NO
Edward Cooper SD 20: NO
John Harvey HD 43: NO
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: NO
Robert Wharff HD 49: NO, the health department is made up of un-elected bureaucrats that should not hold the power to make laws, only recommendations

Do you believe that pharmaceutical companies should be free of liability for vaccines (yes, no, other)
Dan Young SD 8: NO
Edward Cooper SD 20: NO
John Harvey HD 43: NO
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: NO

Dan Young SD 8: NO
Edward Cooper SD 20: NO
John Harvey HD 43: NO
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: NO
Robert Wharff HD 49: NO, our nation was founded on the idea of individual rights. That means individuals will reap the rewards or suffer the consequences of their decisions. Choosing to get a vaccine or not is not different than choosing to drive. Adverse events can happen with both.
Taylor Allred HD 21: NO, there is no greater good done by substances that have the possibility and likelihood of causing physical harm up to and including deaths.

Taylor Allred HD 21: NO, Absolutely not. The medical community has never been successful in developing an effective vaccine for a corona virus. The economy should be fully opened and with any other illness, vulnerable populations should take necessary precautions.

Dan Young SD 8: NO
Edward Cooper SD 20: NO
John Harvey HD 43: NO

Edward Cooper SD 20: NO
John Harvey HD 43: NO
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: NO

Taylor Allred HD 21: NO, never. As mentioned previously, there has never been an effective corona virus vaccine and forcefully injecting someone with potentially harmful, or deadly, substances with no recourse is unethical and morally wrong.
Is home quarantine an appropriate alternative to forced vaccination? (yes, no, other)
Dan Young SD 8: YES
Edward Cooper SD 20: NO
John Harvey HD 43: NO
Dan Kirkbride HD 4: UNSURE
Robert Wharff HD 49: YES, quarantine of the sick is appropriate as well as biblical. Leviticus 15 tells us the affected should separate and wash diligently in order to be clean.
Taylor Allred HD 21: YES, In home quarantine is an appropriate alternative if the individual is sick. Prophylactic quarantine is unconstitutional and in opposition to the cause of freedom.
