I’d like to say that this is unbelievable but unfortunately I believe it completely. What is the logic in this requirement? Especially now when we know the vaccine doesn’t protect others from getting infected. We’ve lost our freaking minds! So incredibly sad. why isn’t she vaccinated? For that all doctors participated in that should lose their medical license were they cannot practice medicine anymore!!!
yep that sounds crazy and stupid .. it just goes to show you if kids had to get the covid vaccine to go to school…I guarantee that all parents will pull they kids out and the teachers would be unemployed by the end of the day Medical field is as corrupt as it gets now a days I suppose their child would prefer to get a kidney & have a shot at life, but the idea of having a proven vaccination scares them more than her suffering & potential death. What a cult you helped form. All Fox employees & viewers should be proud.
Wtf happened to ‘Do no harm’? Sue sue sue. Might be worth getting vaccinated As a physician… how could anyone do this. The vaccine could cause blood clots,strokes or myocarditis. They should be ashamed. Do no harm.
