Residents in the Southwest District Health in Idaho are no longer able to get COVID-19 vaccines from public health clinics after the district’s board of directors voted 4–3 recently to stop administering the shot.

It’s a chilling reminder of how dangerous anti-vaccine sentiment and misinformation have infested communities nationwide, causing vaccination rates to slip across the country and making way for deadly outbreaks of preventable diseases.
