Vaccine Misinformation Strikes: Florida School will not employ vaccinated teachers or staff

[essentialsaltes]

A private school with two campuses in Miami has warned its staff against taking vaccines that prevent COVID-19, saying it will not employ anyone who has been inoculated and spreading misinformation about the potential risks of vaccination.

The announcement, first reported by the New York Times, left some parents, teachers and medical experts aghast because it was presented as fact without citing any scientific evidence.

Leila Centner, who co-founded the school with husband David Centner, warned that vaccinated persons “may be transmitting something from their bodies” that could harm others, particularly the “reproductive systems, fertility, and normal growth and development in women and children.”

The school has a chiropractor on staff to give adjustments to students and staff and practices meditation among students with the use of crystals.

You just can't fix stupid. I think I'd prefer not to have someone with such distorted thinking try to teach my children anything.

I'm surprised they allow crystals. Much like yoga, I would think that was something to be afeared of.

 

[mama2one]

how would they know if someone already took vaccine?

husband took vaccine & he has thick eyebrows!

It's really astonishing what nonsense the antivaxxers fall for. Here's a gynecologists take on the matter:
The COVID-19 vaccine is a vaccine, not a spell.

I think that just shows that there are idiot anti-vaxers who are far from Christian, but 'spiritual'!

 

[Elliewaves]

I wonder if they are Scientology based? I tried to look on their website, but it won't load. There's a lot of that in Clearwater and other pockets in Florida, but I don't think their schools have actual teachers.

It didn't say that it was a Christian school...

I'm hoping that detail in this story will help combat the popularity of the misinformation here on the forums. Why would Christians want to make common cause with New Age crystal fondlers?

The dumbing down of America. And yet they charge 30K/yr. for middle school tuition?

"There are also plenty of naturopaths spreading this misinformation on Instagram (which is how I heard about it)."

It's not a long walk from naturapath to chiropractor.

That's absurd and dangerous. While i believe there are legitimate questions about the safety of the vaccines, nothing remotely suggests they are dangerous for people other than the person taking the vaccine.

While i don't like the idea of a company or school mandating use of the vaccine, prohibiting the use of the vaccine is much worse.

What's the chance of the experimental oil (which is free) destroying my car?

Any rational person would take the oil change if the chance is lower than 1 %.

Ma'am, the disinformation is coming from... inside the building.

My son tells me you can't reason with people who never used reason to arrive at their position in the first place.

You can't, but you can demonstrate their lack of reason to people who might be on the fence.

If it's a private school, they can do anything they darn well please.

Nobody is complaining that this action is illegal. Just misguided, harmful, and unfounded in fact.
