Wyoming Health Department Premature press releases while disregarding a formal response to the public!

The holiday season is in full swing and the public hearing requested of the Wyoming Health Department took place on October 28, 2019. Meanwhile... Wyoming Health Freedom & Health Freedom supporters from across the state have yet still to hear a formal update in response to their testimony! The health department however has taken the time to comment in several recent press releases across Wyoming while simultaneously neglecting their responsibility to the public. |
This bureaucracy the state often refers to as procedural administrative responsibilities. This procedure however is operating unchecked and not being conducted in a timely manner. The rule making process itself is not overnight taking several months of time with several steps before it lands on the governor's desk. According to our investigations from the legislative services office, the proposed rule changes would next be headed the Wyoming legislature management council. Upon inquiring with a representative & member of this council on any further updates; WHF would learn the council would have yet to even receive a copy still of the proposed rule changes themselves. The council's last meeting was Dec 2nd & 3rd.
The Wyoming Health Department has given Wyoming citizens a perception in the media that these proposals are a done deal. The public deserves better than that! There appears to be a pattern with how things have been handled & demonstrated through out this process, with a complete disregard for public transparency at times, sound policy or maintaining deadlines. Which leads WHF members to question what are the point of deadlines if they are not adhered to?

As mentioned in the above press releases, we also wanted to extend a thank you to Taylor Allred, a state committeeman of Lincoln County who presented a resolution to uphold health freedom in the County Republican Platform, along with a thank you to other precinct committee men & women working to propose & adopt similar platform resolutions. We applaud those who respect freedom in healthcare choices with respect to life!

Very soon we will be releasing a campaign calling on Governor Gordon to VETO the proposed mandates & rule changes! It is encouraging that he stated in the recent press releases that he wants to hear from the public. However the public needs much more beyond just a seat at the table, Wyoming Citizens need to be heard & our Liberties Upheld!
According to the Casper Star, "Governor Gordon, in a statement sent by a spokesman, said he “appreciates” the interest in vaccines from the public and the state’s Republican Party. He said that he has yet to receive the rules, but when he does, he will review them and allow for more public comment."
And lastly, as stated in one of the above press releases, there are some individuals in Wyoming that seek to limit religious freedom & Informed Consent. Now more than ever we must remain vigilant!
"Dr. David Wheeler, a Casper neurologist and the president of Wyoming Medical Society, said in a statement that the organization “strongly supports legislation limiting exemptions to vaccine requirements to legitimate medical concerns.”
