Since stepping down as Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer in 2024, Dr. Anne Zink has been busy on the national stage working to undermine those who point out serious concerns about vaccine injuries.
Perhaps one of the most controversial figures in Alaska public life, Zink served as the state’s top medical officer from 2018 to 2024, during which time she unquestioningly echoed every new recommendation by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control when it came to pushing Covid jabs and multiple boosters on infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and just about everyone else – healthy or not.
This year, however, she joined a initiative aimed a undercutting the latest guidelines by the CDC, which include reducing the number of vaccine recommendations for children from 17 to 10, dropping the advice that children be vaccinated for Hepatitis B (a disease that is mostly transmitted through sexual activity or dirty needles) and rescinding recommendations that healthy pregnant women and children get the experimental mRNA Covid shots.
Earlier this month, Zink was appointed to the Board of Advisors for the Vaccine Integrity Project, launched by the University of Minnesota to disseminate articles and commentary aimed at discrediting both the CDC as well as U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Kennedy has been one of the most vocal national voices, raising concerns about vaccine injuries for decades. As health secretary, he has moved to tighten safety measures for the Big Pharma industry, while launching investigations into the harmful side effects of many previously recommended shots.

The Vaccine Integrity Project serves to combat these efforts and claims to offer “trusted, science-based information for informed vaccine choices,” while rapidly responding to what the group deems are “misleading and inaccurate claims” about vaccine injuries and side effects. The goal is to rebuff – “in real time” – vaccine concerns by pushing pro-vax data to sympathetic journalist, health care providers, public health officials and medical societies.
Based on the organization’s online articles and opinion pieces, it is comprised of like-minded pro-vaccine activists who do not appear at all interested in considering any of the dissenting voices or mounting data showing vaccine injuries. Instead, the site is filled with numerous articles that extol the alleged benefits of outdated CDC recommendations for myriad childhood shots, as well as repeated boosters – even for diseases that are largely spread by sexual activity and drug use.
From 2018 to 2024, Zink served as Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s Chief Medical Officer, a position in which she maligned vaccine critics and unabashedly defended the controversial and ever-changing recommendations by Dr. Anthony Fauci and the CDC regarding mask-wearing, social distancing and universal Covid shots – even for infants. Critics called the advice arbitrary or politically motivated, noting that in private emails Fauci admitted that typical drugstore masks were not very effective, while later recommending their use publicly. He also later confessed before Congress that the “six feet apart” social distancing rule “sort of just appeared” and was not based on any scientific trials.
Since stepping down from her state job, Zink has continued to practice medicine in Alaska, while networking with like-minded vaccine activists across the nation. This includes launching a new online platform that alerts people to “real time” regional health trends and disease outbreaks around the nation.
