Alaska Gov. Dunleavy says the state’s chief medical officer still has his confidence even as she’s become the focus of escalating attacks by the anti-vaccine movement and other critics of the governor’s pandemic response
Kurka’s petition also says Zink “does not support or respect the rights of Alaskans to maintain medical privacy, secure informed consent before receiving experimental treatment or to try alternative prevention and therapeutic interventions.”
Zink, in the interview, said Alaska law gives her “almost zero power or authority over anything,” whether that’s hospital practices or doctors’ prescribing authorities. She added: “I am a public servant who took this job because I care passionately about the patients that I saw, and saw systems failing them — and felt like we could do better for my friends, for my neighbors and for fellow Alaskans.”
“My name is out there,” she said. “I don’t want the amazing health care workers and public health team that is working day and night in the background to be impacted by the frustration and the hate that’s out there. In some ways, it’s my job to protect them from that.”
