Episode 18: “The Science Does Not Justify a Public Health Emergency” – Interview with County Supervisor Kirk Uhler

“The biggest concern I have is we have lost sight of true public health. They’ve become COVID officers and that’s it. And all of the other facets of public health—emotional health, other illnesses, financial health, mental health—all of these things have completely fallen by the wayside. And too many of our public health officers, and CLEARLY our governor, all they care about is Covid.” 🗣 Today I talk with Kirk Uhler, a longtime member of the Board of Supervisors for Placer County, CA. Kirk shares the news about being the first county in the state to remove the public health emergency allowing citizens to finally get back to work and back to life. He also talks about a dangerous new proposition on the ballot in November that he thinks is behind the efforts to keep schools closed in California and gives his advice on what residents should do about it.
