Florida private school threatens jobs of teachers who seek COVID-19 vaccines

"Many universities are moving to require students and faculty to receive COVID-19 vaccines before returning to campus in the fall. But one private pre-K to eighth grade school in Florida has turned that on its head, The New York Times reports today. The school last week told its teachers and other staff they should avoid the “COVID-19 injection” because of the purported dangers that vaccinated people posed to students.

A co-founder of the Centner Academy in Miami, Leila Centner, informed its 50 teachers and 25 support staff that if they choose to be vaccinated against COVID-19, they will not be welcome back on campus in the fall. Those already vaccinated will need to be separated from children while at school, according to a letter she sent to the school’s staff that was obtained by the newspaper.

Science was alerted to a similar letter Centner sent earlier today to the parents of the academy’s 270 students. Centner, a former financial executive, started the school with her husband, technology entrepreneur and Republican donor David Centner. In the more recent letter, Leila Centner writes:

It is our policy, to the extent possible, not to employ anyone who has taken the experimental COVID-19 injection until further information is known. … It is in the best interests of the children to protect them from the unknown implications of being in close proximity for the entire day with a teacher who has very recently taken the COVID-19 injection"

I don’t understand how the shedding conspiracy works but there is active research going into menstrual irregularities. Not for those who’ve been “near” the vaccinated but those who have been vaccinated. ***

There is also a legit study into evidence of reduced male fertility from the Pfizer vaccine.

“They is a purported Republican doner but have aligned themselves with Kennedy Jr?”

PDJT was planning to have him in his admin as someone overseeing vax safety. The offer was rescinded when Pharma objected.

Kennedy is an old-style Dem. I don’t agree with him on climate change, but he’s solid on vaccines. It is a topic that unites conservatives with some Dems.

State your strong advocacy for people who want to *refuse* vaccines for employment?

You vaxxer nutcases want to have it all your way, don’t you?

“ If one is not afraid of getting covid, then they are a fool”

More childish insults from the Branch Covidian Cult.

I guess, in your mind, that I’m a fool for not changing my life over a virus with a 99.8% survival rate.

Too bad that your personal opinion of me means nothing.

Sorry, Karen,. I’m not falling for the fear porn.

Keep speaking truth.

The Branch Covidian Cultists cannot handle truth. All they have are childish insults.

I hope you or a loved one (especially an older loved one) never get covid, but ping me if you do.

We’ll see how much you laugh at it then.


I’m not laughing. Just being pragmatic. I’ve known about 15 people personally who were supposedly “positive” in my area (but who knows, with these squirrelly tests!) Ages were from around 21 to 86. All are fine, and said it was more or less like a flu, except five who were asymptomatic, and the oldest two ironically had only very minor symptoms, for several days.

I don’t even think any of them used HCQ or Ivermectin, though I have some of the latter on hand just in case I or loved ones ever want it. It’s been quite a while since anyone I know has been sick, so it seems like it’s on the way out here, for now at least.

The most important thing is to keep your immune system strong. We are older folks, and have never repressed ours by avoiding people, using sanitizers, wearing devices that inhibit normal breathing, or acting in any way like germophobes. Nor will we be getting these shots. Instead we get fresh air, sun and exercise, use common sense, socialize with like-minded friends, and take all the right vitamins and supplements, which I’ve been doing since long before Covid, and I’ve not been sick with anything in over three decades. So no, I’m not afraid, either.

I support their right to do so. I don’t support the action itself.

Same as I support the right of the KKK to peacefully assemble and protest, despite the fact that I don’t agree with their ideas or goals.

Survivable or not. If one is not afraid of getting covid, then they are a fool.

Why?

I have a very high risk relative, obese, diabetic, high BP, kidney issues, alcoholic, Parkinson’s disease, who contracted COVID and was sick for a few days and bounced right back.

There are a lot of good reasons to avoid the vaccine that have nothing to do with fear, but have a lot to do with wisdom.

I refuse to let fear be the motivator to push me into decisions that I will probably regret later in life.

I am not looking forward to getting sick ever, but I am also not living in fear of this thing. God is in control of my life, not COVID. And even if the worst happens that I should die from it, so what? I know where I’m going. What’s to fear?

Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

And for that, I’m a fool for not fearing a virus?

That being the case, take a chance with a vaccine which has been proven to reduce your chances of getting covid and/or lessen the severity of covid if you do get it.

That has not been conclusively proven. It’s merely been claimed. And that by those who stand to profit the most by getting people to use it.

When there’s that kind of conflict of interest, one is right to be suspicious of the thing. After all, who trusts a used car salesman?

This injection is technically not a vaccine.

A vaccine could not receive EUA for use.

She’s right to refer to it as an experimental injection because that’s what it is since it’s not by definition a vaccine.

And those numbers for survivability are fudged as they are factoring in those vulnerable who were murdered by cuomo et al.

For the average American, taking out the murdered, the reports attributed to COVID that were not from it, that survivability is even greater.

And if the average American wants to do something to lower their risk of complications form COVID, they can do one very simple thing.

Lose weight.

Not to mention the untold numbers of people who got covid but weren’t included in the numbers at all, because their symptoms were so insignificant that they didn’t even bother to get tested.

I never went to the doctor.

They aren’t going to know you’re sick if you don’t tell them.

I would expect a comment like that from a pure Alinsky liberal. Not something I’m used to seeing on FR.
