A conservative California county fired its public health officer, who was threatened for enforcing COVID mandates. Its new hire opposes vaccines and masks for children.
The Shasta County Board of Supervisors has appointed an outspoken critic of COVID-19 vaccine mandates to be the county's new public health officer. The hiring of Redding family physician James Mu comes 17 months after the board fired its previous public health officer, Karen Ramstrom, whom supervisors had criticized for following state mandates requiring masks and vaccinations during the pandemic. 'I would like to follow evidence-based policy.
' But, he added, he did not think people who had already been infected by the coronavirus should get inoculated and that 'children who are healthy' should not be vaccinated — advice contrary to recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mu could not be reached by The Times for comment.
