Right now the DoD has decided that requiring vaccination for meds under EUA is beyond their legal authority over their soldiers. Though they fully expect to make it mandatory once the meds are under a full authorization, not an EUA. That’s the DoD and soldiers!
This case is of course the opposite, trying to prohibit their employees from being vaccinated. But I will suggest there is a case to be made that the employer is within their rights. A stupid case, an ignorant case, an anti-social case. But one that, particularly before the sorts of insane judges common in South FL, they have a decent shot at winning.
Remember that in the USA you have essentially two meaningful rights as an employee: the right to quit and the right to be fired. Pretty much everything else is employer’s choice: you can like it or you can lump it.
It’s pre-US but some of the mouth breathing anti-vax idjits need to be reminded of how George Washington ordered the entire Continental Army to be inoculated against smallpox.
At least a few parents are appalled by the new policy, according to this article:
Hopefully the school suffers a decline in enrollment. Centner said in the letter to parents that the school “cannot allow recently vaccinated people near students.” That’s interesting, as some parents have already been vaccinated and presumably spend quite a bit of time around their kids and quite possibly their classmates.
The school has told teachers if they get the vaccine over the summer, they can’t come back to school until clinical trials are over which is not scheduled to happen until 2023.
How’d you like to be a science teacher at this place?
DoD’s preference is clear. They want everyone vaccinated and are promoting that via their considerable powers of persuasion. But they are nothing if not legalistic, and they hold that EUA is enough to cast doubt on the stuff and bind their hands.
That same logic can be misapplied in reverse by the Centner people, and the thousands of copycats likely to emerge in the next few weeks egged on by OANN, etc.
So their claim will be along the lines of “Under the EUA, how can we know the vaccinated don’t pose some other unknown unspecified threat to the rest of us?”
And the narrow scientific true answer is, we don’t know. We also don’t know whether about a year from now all the vaccinated people will sprout wings, develop superhuman strength and a strong desire to kill the unvaccinated by tearing them in half, thereby beginning a battle royale for the future of the human race the normies are sure to lose. It does, however, seem very unlikely
How can we know that the school’s headmistress and headmaster Leila and David Centner, supposedly humans, are not actually disguised shape-shifting aliens from the planet Gazoomba in the χ Persei cluster? In fact the smart money would say that they are, or at least, that they think they are. Hence why magic crystals are an integral part of the curriculum.
On the plus side of having all the loonies in one place, all you have to do is turn all the outside door locks inside out and presto – instant lunatic asylum!
As long as they do the lock switcheroo on “parents visit the school” day so we can also capture the morons who’re paying these people for this drivel instead of a real education. And their mind-damaged offspring.
The US doesn’t have OAS, but we do have OSHA, which I imagine is the same thing. And it’s too late for this school to just fire staff “for no reason”: Any vaccinated staff member who gets fired at this point can just point to the public statements as evidence of the reason they were fired.
A business can certainly not require vaccination. They can even not encourage it. But as soon as they’re actively discouraging it, or even prohibiting it, I would think that OSHA rules would come into effect.
Has OSHA published any rules addressing things like this yet?
Maybe the school has a point. I got the vaxxes last month (March 1 and 29) and haven’t had a period since. Ohmigosh! Oh wait, maybe it’s because I’m 69 years old?
According to this story, they also do guided meditation with crystals as part of the curriculum, and have a chiropractor on staff to adjust students and employees as needed.
One story I saw claimed that it had about 300 students.
If you haven’t checked out their website, do so at your own risk, because the home page includes two aerial drone shots of the school that are potentially vertigo-inducing.
