These are the questions you are seeking answers for, correct?
“Have you accepted money to promote these vaccines on social media? If so, how much, where from and in what form?
If not, where does the direction to promote them come from?”

Commissioners,
We have to stop marketing to poison. This isn't a game anymore. It never was. I want to communicate directly to the man or woman responsible for the content on our government social media pages.
It's been more than 2 weeks since my original communication. I don't understand the delay. Commissioner Saine replied to clarify my questions, though no answers have been provided.
Please respond with answers to my simple and direct questions.

Mike Freeman,
Children and adults alike have DIED as a result of taking a 'vaccine' made by a pharmaceutical company with indemnity, and our government is giving them free advertising, or worse, has accepted money to advertise their poison for them.
You are public servants; not doctors, not marketers, and not social influencers. It is time you take your jobs seriously and protect the people, your fellow man and woman. Government "health" departments are constructed of people who do evil things for paychecks. I'm beginning to think the same may be true of our commissioners.
It is vital that we stop marketing poison, and I need to know who to speak to directly about this. I am requesting a reply to this email. Please respond with answers.
Thank you

Apologies for the late reply.
I did check and the Weld county receives no money for the FB posts.
Perry Buck is the commissioner Coordinator for the Weld Dept of Health, the Vice coordinator is Mike Freeman.
Mike Freeman is the chair and oversees the administration department which manages the Public Information Office.

Good Morning Lori,
Thank you for the reply. These are fairly indirect answers. Here's the understanding I've arrived at based on your response. Please correct the record if I am misunderstanding.
Mike Freeman is responsible for publishing this facebook post.
Perry Buck and Mike Freeman, work together with men and women employed by the Weld County Health Department, to coordinate free advertising campaigns for liability-free pharmaceutical companies for no financial benefit to themselves or to the county because they stand behind the products they are promoting.
If anyone in addition to Perry Buck and Mike Freeman, who is employed by the County of Weld, has input into the decision to promote childhood vaccines on our government social media pages, please provide me their name(s), so I can speak to them directly, as a man or woman.
Thank you
