Just sent the following email: Kaityln, Steve Kirsch provided a link to your article. While it may be easiest to cut and paste CDC info and get a quote from the local health official, I honestly think the public is served by an open and honest debate. I noticed you put "self described" in front of Mr. Malone's info, and put several qualifications behind your local official's name, in what appears to be an effort to further skew the reader's impressions.

The whole vaccine issue is very complicated, and there are a whole lot of unsavory players involved. When anything other than the official viewpoint is buried as deep and as quickly as can be, the public is deprived of important information. The average media outlet and the average person likely will dismiss any opposing view as "anti-vax", "tinhat wearers", and "spreaders of misinformation". Who benefits from all of that? Well, the vaccine makers are laughing all the way to the bank. The average person, many of whom have lost jobs, lost businesses, lost homes, and in other cases lost lives, is not coming out of this pandemic in as good a shape.

There are numerous scientific studies, government statistics, and private company statistics that point a picture of a pandemic that is not following the official narrative. Your readers would benefit from any efforts you make to look around a bit more, and bring a bit more of a balanced perspective to this narrative. The first step could be a debate between the official you cited, who is not providing truly correct information, and Mr. Kirsch. I find it telling that there are so many articles on "misinformation" yet no one willing to let a public debate take place to further examine the facts. If I was a public health official convinced the vaccines were great, I would be leaping at the chance to talk publically to any and all groups, to convince them that I was right. Yet no public health official in the entire country has done this, to my knowledge. You can correct me if I'm wrong. That fact alone is a huge red flag that not is all as it seems.
