According to local media, an anti-vaccine private school in Miami, Florida is forcing students who receive a COVID-19 vaccine to stay home for thirty days after each injection.
Centner Academy is a private school in Miami that has long been known for its anti-vaccine stances. Moreover, the establishment does not hesitate to play on misinformation, pointing out that all infant serums are linked to the increase in various health problems, such as diabetes. It also offers to help parents obtain exemptions from state vaccination requirements.
Recently, the school went even further by stating in a letter recently sent to parents of students, obviously wrongly, that vaccines against Covid-19, again "experimental", could cause "potential transmission of the Sars-Cov-2 virus. As a result, and as a preventive measure, the establishment requires students who receive this vaccine to stay at home for thirty days after each injection .
Recall that none of the covid vaccines authorized and used in the United States include "live virus". Pfizer and Moderna, the two main ones, are mRNA-based, while the serum offered by J&J is a non-replicating viral vector-based vaccine.
Asked by 7News, school co-founders Leila and David Centner made the following statement:"Centner Academy's top priorities are wellness of our students and their sense of security in our educational environment. We will continue to act in accordance with these priorities. The email that was sent to families today was based on these priorities “.
In April, the school had already made national headlines after it asked teachers not to get vaccinated .
According to Ars, Leila and David Centner also discouraged the use of masks at school and welcomed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Or, this politician, member of the Democratic Party, is known for its conspiratorial excesses. A few months ago, in a speech given in Berlin, he denounced in particular the collection of private data by 5G and the instrumentalization of the Covid-19 pandemic by governments with the aim of strengthening the obedience of the population. at the expense of individual freedoms.
Always interviewed by 7News, Dr. Aileen Marty, an infectious disease expert at Florida International University, lamented these false truths, comparing them to pure science fiction. “I find this terrible, especially coming from an educational institution ". Like most health experts, she obviously argues that vaccines are the way to go. “The technology is not new “recalls the doctor. "The technology is well established and it's based on the best science we have “.
