CRAZY ANTI-VAX MISINFO—A Miami private school sent faculty and staff a warning letter from its anti-vax school founder that if they chose to get a shot, they would have to stay away from students. It’s as Florida-crazy as it gets.🧵 #COVID19 #covidvacccine

2) “In an example of how misinformation threatens the nation’s effort to vaccinate enough Americans to get the coronavirus under control, Ms. Centner, who has frequently shared anti-vaccine posts on Facebook...

3) ...”claimed in the letter that “reports have surfaced recently of non-vaccinated people being negatively impacted by interacting with people who have been vaccinated.”

4) “In the letter, Ms. Centner gave employees three options:

📌 Inform the school if they had already been vaccinated, so they could be kept physically distanced from students;

5) 📌 Let the school know if they get the vaccine before the end of the school year, “as we cannot allow recently vaccinated people to be near our students until more information is known”;

📌Wait until the school year is over to get vaccinated.

6) “Teachers who get the vaccine over the summer will not be allowed to return, the letter said, until clinical trials on are completed, and then only “if a position is still available at that time” — effectively making teachers’ employment contingent on avoiding the vaccine.”

7) Ms. Centner required the faculty and staff to fill out a “confidential” form revealing whether they had received a vaccine — and if so, which one and how many doses — or planned to get vaccinated.

8) The form requires employees to “acknowledge the School will take legal measures needed to protect the students if it is determined that I have not answered these questions accurately.”

9) Ms. Centner directed questions about the matter to her publicist, who in a statement repeated false claims that vaccinated people “may be transmitting something from their bodies” leading to adverse reproductive issues among women.

Bullshit
