Private School in Miami warns staff to not get COVID-19 vaccine

Same in brownstone Brooklyn, where I live. Often on Subarus, probaby mostly driven to summer/ski houses in New England.

Also, there’s plenty of woo on the right. There’s lefty anti-vaxxers and righty anti-vaxxers. The lefties love crystals, the righties love colloidal silver.

And sometimes they mate and reproduce and unholy chimeras are created.

Like the pair in the red bordello above.

Ooh, perfect example for my students in quantitative literacy and stats course! Even assuming the claim of such “reports” isn’t total made-up bullshit from start to finish:

  1. How many women “all over the world” experience “adverse reproductive issues” with no identifiable cause simply at random? (Hint: “tens of thousands of women” is about one one-hundred-thousandth, or a thousandth of one percent, of the billions of women that exist all over the world.)

  2. How many women “all over the world” have been “in close proximity with those who have received any one of the COVID-19 injections”? (Hint: Over 10% of the world’s population is at least partly vaccinated against COVID, so although the distribution of those shots is very non-uniform, the odds are high that very many women have been “in close proximity” with a vaccinated person.)

  3. What is the probability that the allegedly reported “issues” could be happening purely by chance irrespective of whether the sufferers were in proximity to a vaccinated person or not? (Hint: Pretty fucking high.)

And lots of baloney.


Hey, I’d pay good money to do business there!

From that page:

At CA we believe in health freedom. We know that every child and family at our school is unique. There is no one size fits all to vaccines.

Maybe (although I doubt it) for your children but clearly not for your faculty.

That’s because they have solid scientific evidence (to be revealed at a later date) that vaccinated people emit cooties. Or maybe, as another poster pointed out, that there is a fortune to be made from anti-vax lunatics with money, since they tend to be gullible and not very bright.

ETA: I’m still astonished as all hell at the 19th century French bordello decor. This is not stuff you can just buy in a store. They must have it custom-made by the prop shop of a movie studio specializing in either porn or horror. These people have lifestyle expenses!

I’m not convinced that that is true, and as I pointed out here, we are currently leaning towards it being a requirement to return to the office when we go back to a hybrid home/work office model.

Maybe that’s the teachers lounge. Free booze and lap dances might help the staff put up with the other bullshit.

Check the “school”'s web site. It’s almost tangible, the glee they display on “helping parents” with filing for religious exemption from the state’s vaccination requirements. Oh, yeah; this is a group of parents pre-selected (self-selected?) for gullibility.

These people are “Trump-lite”.

There is no reason to believe that anything that they put in the public domain has any bearing on reality. That photo is from a magazine photo shoot that - for all anyone knows - may have been shot with hired costumes and on a set.

Everything about them suggests they would be believers in the magical-thinking adage “look rich to get rich”. I wouldn’t take a single thing they say or present at face value.

There’s a lot more than suggestion regarding their believing in magical thinking. See the bits upthread about the use of crystals for medical treatment at their “school”.

BTW, is there an online list of accredited K~12 schools in Florida?

Though of course what they sell isn’t necessarily what they believe.

Ah, I see now that what I posted was ambiguous. I meant that it is permitted for a business to choose not to require vaccinations, not that it is not permitted for them to choose to require them.

Now I want a “Vote for Pedro” sticker. (I’m not sure most people would get it, though.)

Understood and agree completely.

How old is that movie???

2004, so not THAT old.

That was my take on these two – far more likely evil than stupid.

Old enough to drive. Almost old enough to vote.

Well, I could have a grandkid old enough to drive. I don’t, but I could. So 2004 doesn’t seem that old to me.
