Subject:[EXTERNAL] Remove Dr. Annie Buckacek from the board of Flathead City-County Health Dept.

Dear Mayor Mark Johnson and members of City Council,
I am writing to request the removal from Dr. Annie Bukacek from the board of the
Flathead City-County Health Department. Recently, Dr. Bukacek has been promoting
misinformation about COVID-19 in order to undermine safety recommendations from
the health department and local hospitals. Her position is dangerous and I urge the
City and the County Commissions to immediately remove her from the board.
Her campaign to discredit these health care authorities and create animosity in the
community are unbecoming of a medical professional. Her advice could threaten
the lives of many people in the valley, either from increased exposure to thiscontagious virus or radicalization to extremist groups that she supports.
Please support the safety of the Flathead Valley by denouncing Dr. Bukacek's activity
and rescinding her public position on the board of the health department.
Thank you,
Maggie Doherty 504 5th Ave E
