A public hearing to appoint Lori Weaver to be the acting DHHS Commissioner will be held Thursday, December 1st, at 11 am, in the Executive Council Chamber in the State House.
“Make Sure Critical Questions Are Answered”
While public comment is welcome, we at RebuildNH don’t know much about Ms. Weaver other than the fact that she is currently the Deputy Commissioner of DHHS, and we feel it is necessary to ask critical questions of Ms. Weaver before we can formulate an opinion. Only the Executive Council members may ask questions, so have come up with a list of questions for the Executive Council members.

Please email your Executive Council member and request they ask the following questions of Lori Weaver at the public hearing for her confirmation on Thursday.
1. Is there a time when lockdowns are necessary, and what is that time?
2. Do you believe there are costs to lockdowns, and if so, what are they?
3. What is the role of public health?
4. Do you believe public health measures should be voluntary, or should some be mandated, and if so, can you give examples of measures that should be mandated?
5. Do you believe the DHHS Commissioner should retain the ability to add vaccines to the school immunization schedule through administrative rules?
6. Do you have plans to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the school immunization schedule?
7. Do you believe that all individuals should receive the COVID-19 vaccine or are there some people who should not receive it?
We believe that if the following questions are asked, we can ascertain a better idea of Ms. Weaver’s abilities and public health philosophies.
