This is from CNN where they have my wife's debate on vaccine mandates running with this story:
(CNN)All eligible students attending Los Angeles Unified public schools -- the nation's second largest school district -- will be required to be vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of the calendar year, the school board of education has voted.
In a special meeting held Thursday, the Los Angeles Unified School Board decided by unanimous vote that a mandate was appropriate based on the sudden surge of the virus brought about by the Delta variant and data showing lower rates of infection and hospitalization among those who are vaccinated.
The proposal approved Thursday requires all eligible students 12 years of age and older to receive their first Covid-19 vaccine doses by no later than November 21, and to be fully vaccinated by December 19. Students who participate in in-person extracurricular activities, including sports, face an earlier deadline of October 3 for a first dose of the vaccine and a second dose no later than October 31.
The district, which includes more than 600,000 students, already mandates the vaccine for teachers and staff, requires face coverings be worn by all, and tests all students and staff for infections weekly. Classrooms have also been outfitted with enhanced ventilation systems in an effort to decrease the spread of the virus.
What happens if a child refuses to be vaccinated?
Students who decline the vaccine and have no exemptions can participate in the online Independent Study Program. About 15,000 students are currently enrolled in the remote learning program, according to board member Tanya Ortiz Franklin.
Mandatory vaccines, much more testing than NYC, and a remote option in Los Angeles. It looks like LA cares about the safety of children and educators much more than NYC.
Did I mention here yet that LA voted out its union leadership when they were not representing their members properly?
At least the uft got us raises to keep up with inflation.

Vote out. Lol.
ReplyDeleteRead the label. It’s not too hard. From the actual FDA approved product that isn’t even available yet.

Safety and effectiveness of COMIRNATY in individuals 16 through 17 years of age is based on safety and effectiveness data in this age group and in adults [see Adverse Reactions (6) and Clinical Studies (14.1)].
The safety and effectiveness of COMIRNATY in individuals younger than 16 years of age have not been established.
Please tell me once again that this is not forced medical experimentation.
@10:16. It is. Don't take it. Now go find another job.
