“A private school founded by an anti-vaccination activist in South Florida has warned teachers and staff against taking the COVID-19 vaccine, saying it will not employ anyone who has received the shot.” a Seattle TV station reported on Tuesday, April 27, 2021, citing an Associated Press story without a link. See story here.
The private school in Florida (below), run by a virulent anti-vaxxer named Leila Centner, has about 300 students in grades K-8.
Centner believes pregnant women can suffer miscarriages by standing next to a vaccinated person. She’s also vociferously opposed other health measures to protect people from the pandemic that has killed over half a million Americans.
She and her husband started the school in 2019 to promote “medical freedom” from vaccines.

They’re also profoundly irresponsible; but hey, this is a free country, and if you live in a state like Florida, run by a governor like Rick DeSantis, and you’re rich, you can get away with it.
