Alaska’s Department of Health is partnering with the University of Alaska to give healthcare workers tips on how to promote “vaccine confidence” while learning how to combat so-called “health misinformation.”

A notice about the online training sessions doesn’t specify what “health misinformation” entails, but the term has been widely  used by the CDC and other governmental agencies that are frustrated by the fact that many healthcare providers, along with millions of Americans, are leery of experimental Covid shots that have resulted in widespread adverse reactions, including death.

According to an announcement for the new course, participants will gain a free continuing educational credit from UAA, while gaining “knowledge and skills to promote vaccine confidence in their practice setting and communities, as well as identify, manage, and respond to health misinformation.”

The course is part of a larger effort on behalf of the state to pressure Alaskans into getting the Covid jab and other shots as residents head into the heart of winter.

Earlier this month the Alaska Public Health Alert Network unleashing a pre-Christmas pro-jab campaign – imploring healthcare providers to follow new CDC recommendations aimed at combating low vaccination rates and increasing the percentage of Alaskans who submit to Covid, influenza and RSV shots.

As of Dec. 12, just 13.4% of Alaskans over the age of six months had submitted to the latest rendition of the Covid shot. The state, however, wants everyone to get jabbed, unless they have contraindications.

Nationally, the CDC reports that just 7.7% of children six months to 17 years have received the new Covid shot, and only 17.2% of those 18 and older have the jab. Pregnant women are particularly reticent, with just 9.6% agreeing to take the shot.

With regards to the flu shot, only 18.5% of Alaskans have agreed to get it this year. That’s significantly lower than the 21.2% from two years ago.

When it comes to the RSV vaccination, 9% of Alaskans over 60 have taken the shot, compared to nearly 16% nationwide.

    And God knows there plenty of misinformation to counter. I talked to one young woman who was leery of getting vaccinated, because she had HEARD that the vaccine had microscopic microchips in it. Disgraced Ohio osteopath Sherri Tenpenny claimed that COVID-19 vaccines will turn people into “transhumanist cyborgs.” Other claimed the vaccine “magnetized” people so that metal objects stick to them. Still other conspiracy theories claim that “graphene” in vaccines will allow the evil government to track the movements of whole populations. Other people promote ivermectin, which is useful in treating certain parasitic infections but has no antiviral activity.

    Do here comes the B.S. again. We got rid of Fauci just to have Alaska’s own Doctor and I use that lightly Zink step up with nothing but the misinformation she hates so much. How about Ann Zink giving out just one truth about this man made government forced death for people.

  • Friend of Humanity says:

    The globalists want everyone injected so that they can control and track you or genocide you. Say NO to the jabs!

  • Lucinda says:

    When the Alaska Health Department considers “misinformation “, they are thinking of Alaska Watchman and Must Read Alaska.

    • Elizabeth Henry says:

      Because they have bought the marxist globalist elitist lies, as have you. Interesting you spend so much time here when you have such disdain. Perhaps not enough to do with your time?

      • Lucinda says:

        Elizabeth. I’m a missionary. I visit here to offer the cool, sweet water of reason to parched minds that use terms like “marxist globalist elitist”.

      • North to Alaska says:

        She is the paid contrarian. It’s her job.

    • Friend of Humanity says:

      Lucinda, can you please provide proof of how the health department is thinking of Alaska Watchman and Must Read when they spew their lies about misinformation? I have not seen anything indicating such, so if there is no proof, please quit spreading misinformation.

      • Lucinda says:

        I’ll provide proof soon. I have tons of it. It’ll make your head spin.

      • Friend of Humanity says:

        Lucinda, the world knows about the narrative to take down society and control those that the globalists will “allow” to live. We are on to it. There is nothing that you could tell me that would “make my head spin.” I am sure chopping my head off might make my head spin, but otherwise…nah. Nothing you could tell me would surprise me. The Creator who created all life has already told us what will happen. You have a chance still to as for repentance and accept our Heavenly Father’s son as your savior. Otherwise, you are just a minion to the globalists. They use you for their narrative and then you will be disposed of like everyone else that they want to make disappear.

        While waiting for my other comment to be approved, let me say this: the left is not the only one keeping records.

      • Friend of Humanity says:

        Lucy, here’s a video about DHS being involved in trying to control “misinformation.” The foreign government in the big house is digging its hole deeper and deeper. Everything that gets uploaded to the internet can never be deleted.

      Just how many gallons of the government koolaide have you consumed. Not all of us need the government to tell us how to live our lives.

  • DaveMaxwell says:

    Joel this has gotten ridiculous! I have been censored 5 times! We have been supporting the watchman and the fact that chuck or the lunatic Lucinda are in print gives me a bit of pause! Please fix it!

      Dave I’m very sorry you’re having problems. The automatic filter is designed to stop the spread of clearly false information as well as any swearing or cursing. Try writing your comment again and make sure no swears or misinformation is present.

    • Chuck Anziulewicz says:

      Yes, apparently I’ve become a victim of conservative “Cancel Culture.”

  • Tamra Nygaard says:

    So is it misinformation when people are harmed physically by this awful “vaccine” that isn’t a vaccine at all? Is it misinformation when long dormant cancers suddenly become aggressive, killing people outright? Is it misinformation when the virus hardly affected anyone in Africa, because Africans take a lot of invermectin for other reasons and it prevented the spread of Covid? Where is the line that anyone has crossed by telling the truth? Or is more likely that the misinformation is coming from those who make a profit off the “vaccine” that is killing and maiming people right and left? So tired of the government and big pharma pissing on us and telling us that’s rain.

    • Lucinda says:

      Is it misinformation when Tamra Nygaard claims that hardly any Africans contracted Covid 19 when the truth is, TWELVE MILLION Africans did?

  • Johnny says:

    7% acceptance for a booster…LOL! Its over.

  • DaveMaxwell says:

    Part 1 of 2
    The wrath of God is being displayed towards us in that our elected officials are no longer public servants seeking to orchestrate and secure policies and priorities that are designed for human flourishing. Instead we the people have endured the attitudes and priorities of leaders who have recently classified the majority of people as “nonessential”, while at the same time giving themselves raises and the elitist title of essential as if to say you know nothing as compared to the “experts” we have enlisted with your money. Anne Zinc for example! As well, the outrageous lack of courage expressed when our children have become a target of perverse sexual excrement by tax paid for librarians! Along side with this are the non elected billionaires who are aggressively seeking to control the masses with their satanic influenced priorities that have poisoned all the norms people have relied upon for centuries! The trap has been effectively set and going in reverse at this time is very unlikely!

  • DaveMaxwell says:

    Joel part 1 you are reviewing
    Part 2 gets canceled out??? Please check your system!

    • Joel Davidson says:

      Hey Dave,
      Thank you again for your continued feedback. Unfortunately it looks like you got flagged again in the system. My apologies again, it seems if your browser has any cookies saved from nsfw websites our system will occasionally flag you. I’d try posting your comment again after deleting your browsing history.

    F o H. You’re a weak kitten that I want to attend to throughout the night. You’ve a fever, you’re really weak and you need rest. And healthy food. Like the good missionary I am, I want to nurse you back from the supernatural worldview that has poisoned you. Don’t give up hope . The moral, social and ethical infirmity that shackles you CAN be overridden.

    Stick with me and I’ll guide you away from your soulful digestive blockage.

    Go try to start your snow blower and get back to me.

    • Tamra Nygaard says:

      Lucy, quit being that obnoxious weed that needs to be poisoned and ripped out at the root. If you are comfortable in your atheism, you don’t need to be here. Any of us can run an intellectual circle around your puerile rantings, and honestly, it’s like dealing with a toddler. When you get done with your tantrums and excess self-absorption, maybe you could listen to a millennia of philosophical intelligence, but until then please take your childish nonsense elsewhere. Honesty, answering your snotty comments is like shooting fish in a barrel. Believe me when I tell you that you are not the first self-proclaimed indignant elitist we have ever encountered. You are persistent, but that’s not really a benefit considering the nonsensical positions you choose to take. Merry Christmas. May Christ come into your heart and enlighten the darkness there.

      • Lucinda says:

        Tamra. I’m a missionary. I visit here to offer the cool, sweet water of reason to parched minds that are shackled by belief in ghosts and fairies. It’s really that simple. Reason trumps zeal. Why do I care? I care cuz , like I said, it’s my mission but more, it’s that people who believe in the supernatural are less likely to make sound judgements and decisions that affect me and the rest of the world. Like voting for Trump; obviously a flawed decision. Or Hamas and Israel competing to be the most heinous terrorist. Religion poisons.

      • Friend of Humanity says:

        Lucinda, we are warned to watch the water.

      • Fed up tax payer says:

        Amen

  • DaveMaxwell says:

    Testing

    • Fed up tax payer says:

      Thanks for stating facts Dave, most of these brain dead, highly indoctrinated, ding bats can do nothing but argue. It’s unfortunate they don’t have one brain cell left to be able to think and do any kind of meaningful research for themselves. They just take the talking points of the indoctrination camps and become mocking birds! Thanks for trying to help those who won’t help themselves! Blood is on their hands!

  • DaveMaxwell says:

    Part 2 the hope can’t be posted???? Really?

  • DaveMaxwell says:

    Merry Christmas anyway!

  • Lucinda says:

    FoH. Here’s many websites that support my claim that 12 million Africans contracted Covid 19: Reuters, statista.com, tradingeconomics.com (those two are datasets), WHO/Regional Office for Africa, National Institute of Health, the journal “Science”, Africa CDC, biomedcentral.com, Boston University. I’m sure that one, you’ll say all those sources are part of a globalist WEF cabal; and two, you’ll claim that since I wasn’t there actually counting nasal swabs, I don’t know jack.

    ‘Do You Even Realize What They Have Done?…..’ video about the jabs and the wireless body area network and more. So “NO” to the jabs.

    • Friend of Humanity says:

      Stand on truth and the truth shall make you free. Amen.

    • Lucinda says:

      FoH: Did you know that the inside diameter of the needle used for administering the life-saving Covid-19 vaccine is 0.25 mm? Did you know the wireless body area network devices are over 4cm? That means the device can’t be injected within a vaccine needle. See how that works? This is called science. It’s also called reason based on facts, physics and evidence. This is how humans navigate the world. Stick to things that are provable and you’ll be OK.

      • Friend of Humanity says:

        Lucinda, you need to learn the real science and quit using the demon-provided science. Self-assembling nano-technology within the body. Plenty of evidence out there to show this assembly process happening. But, you won’t find it on main stream media because this is real science. All that you have said has been drawn from demon-provided science.
