Brickbat: Take Another Shot

Maribel Duarte says her 13-year-old son was vaccinated against COVID-19 without her permission at Barack Obama Global Prep Academy in Los Angeles. Duarte said school officials gave her son pizza in return for getting vaccinated and told him not to tell. The Los Angeles Unified School District said it could not comment on the claims but did say steps are in place for vaccinated students to receive prizes. The school system has mandated that all students 12 and older receive the vaccine by Jan. 10. Those who aren't vaccinated at that time will be moved back to virtual learning.

A jab for a slab. What a pizza shit maneuver! Why not just bribe the kids with dough? Just don’t tell your crusty old parents, they might pan the whole deal! Informing the parents is the yeast they can do! Papa Murphy and Mama Celeste knead to know! (What a half-baked scheme!)
Chumby and Fist will wake up, see this shit, and be very sad you beat them to all the dumb puns.
This whole thing is OUTRAGEOUS!!! The whole thing could have been papered over and pizza-ed over, and made to be DELICIOUS instead of OUTRAGEOUS, had they merely thought of having The Lord Trump send over this particular pizza from the Miracle Feeding (of the crowd of five million from ONE pizza) at the Mount of Olives, and of Pineapples, and of Anchovies, instead of regular dreck pizza! Then it would have been a Blessed Event!
Merry Trumpsmas to one and all!!! Ho-ho-ho!
A Trumpsmas Message of Hope, Peace, and Joy
In these times of divisive troubles, we all need a little unifying Lift, yes? So I present to you, a Timeless, Empowering Story of Trumpsmas Joy!
And it came to pass, that The Lord Trump descended from the penthouse of The Trump Hotel at Mar-a-Lago. He ascended the flag-draped speaker’s podium, and had an acolyte apply some touch-up bronzer. He ascended the Mount of Olives, and of Pineapples, and of Anchovies. Then He spake unto the assembled mass of 5 million:
“I come unto ye to bring messages of Joy and Peace! Do NOT be confused by the lamestream media, nor by the Demon-rats, who speak of many strange wonders! They speak of many YUUGE lies, and of half-truths! Some say that I am the Son of God! Some say that I am the Son of Man! Some say that I am the Great White Father! Or the Great Pumpkin! Or the Great Whitish-Orangish Pumpkin-Father! But I am none of those things! I come to be before you, as an Humble Man, with MUCH bigness to my humbleness… You may simply call me the Chosen One! Even the lamestream media knows this! https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-49429661 The American voters, the REAL, legitimate voters… The NON-Demon-rat ones, have overwhelmingly chosen MEEE! THAT is why I am the Chosen One!”
He paused, momentarily, there on the top of the Mount of Olives, and of Pineapples, and of Anchovies, as thunderous applause deafened everyone for miles around. He tried to wave down the crowd, for silence. But in their jubilation, the crowd spontaneously broke out into a chant! “Dominos Pizza-Pie REEEquiem, Dominos Pizza-Pie REEEquiem, Dominos Pizza-Pie REEEquiem”, they chanted, over and over, and yet over, again! Sensing their spiritual and bodily hungers, The Lord Trump discreetly ordered a single, solitary pizza and a basket full of anchovies, which arrived nearly instantly. Then The Lord Trump broke off pieces of pizza, and dished out the anchovies, which somehow managed to feed the crowd of five million!
With their hunger now sated, The Lord Trump was finally able to calm the masses, and silence their cheering, so that He could, once again, be heard. The Lord Trump spake once again, saying unto them, “Behold, now begins a time of troubles! The Dark Lord has bin bidin’ his time, which has now come! I will be swallowed up by the Penthouse of The Trump Hotel at Mar-a-Lago, for 4 years of dark nights and troubled days, and I know, you will miss Me terribly! But then the Boulder of Voter Fraud will mysteriously be shoved aside, and I will emerge once more! Trust bigly in Me, but bigly JUST in Me!!!”
The Lord Trump waited for a long time, for the applause to die down, and then continued, “While I am gone, the Faithful shall honor Me on the last Thursday of each November, giving Thanks that I have shown Good Americans The Truth and The Way. You shall slay the Great Pumpkin, and eat of the Pumpkin Pie, saying, ‘This is the Body of The Lord Trump. Eat it with Joy and Gladness’. Then ye shall drink of the cranberry juice, saying. ‘This is the Blood of The Lord Trump. Drink it with Anticipation of the Defeat of the Forces of Evil, and of the Demon-rats’. This, do in honor of MEEE!”
The applause was overwhelming and unstoppable, so The Lord Trump escaped in His Helicopter, to the Penthouse of The Trump Hotel at Mar-a-Lago, leaving the crowd to festering in the gathering stormy weather. There were no busses provided for the crowds, but that was OK by them, for they were full of Great Trumpsmas Joy!

Only heretics use pineapple on pizza.
Fist has, multiple times, renounced puns. For the cocktail party invites I assume. 🙂
Taking a jab at puns…
A punjab?
Stop trying to curry flavor.
The good and great must ever shun
That reckless and abandoned one,
Who stoops to perpetrate a pun.
So, it’s illegal for a teacher to touch kids behind the parents’ backs, but perfectly fine for the school nurse to do it?
All it takes is a pizza to make it alright?
I don’t want to get graphic, but clearly there’s a double standard.
Well, pizza is the main factor in all kinds of child perversion schemes.
Dr. Fauci, put down the pizza and let the little boy go.
Please resist arrest. Please!
The nurse should be fired for the "don't tell" part, for sure. The parents need to know for several reasons - there could be an adverse reaction, they could schedule the kid to get the vaccination elsewhere, etc.
The nurse and/or school officials had the same attitude towards these parents as our own Rev Arthur has toward anyone they imagine might potentially have even slightly different views: force “modernity” (ie, their beliefs) on ‘em. If you give them a choice, they might choose differently, and that lbs not a risk the power mad are willing to take.
Not sure how it works at the Barack Obama Gulag, but my kids' schools don't have (to my knowledge) broad access to my kids medical history, much less any COVID testing results they may or may not have.
Do you think they would care about any of that if they decided to start vaccinating students themselves?
It’s all on the annual physical clearance form that their pediatrician must submit each year. Vaccination history, allergies, conditions that may affect physical activity, learning challenges, and any medications.
This story may not be entirely as it seems, though. Kids forge parents’ signatures all the time. Schools lie. Tough to know who to believe, but I don’t think the mom has the whole story, or she’d have sued by now.
This particular school is in a part of L.A. where a lot of the kids in public schools aren't raised by either of their biological parents. This kid seems to live with at least his mother, but something like 40% of the students at some of the LAUSD schools are in foster care or group homes and who knows how many more are being raised by grandparents or some other "relative" (in the case of "dreamer" kids who were sent across the border unaccompanied that can be anything from a cousin to a friend of the family).
The rate of kids living with custodial parents might be higher at BO Academy since it's a public charter school (until UTLA gets it shut down, anyway), and might require some kind of effort to get kids into. With their current performance levels (5% of students at grade level in math and 12% in reading), it's hard to say whether getting kicked out of the physical building is actually a punishment or if it'd amount to a lateral move at worst though.
Early in the spring, we got a call from the school that our youngest was light-headed, fatigued, and clammy during lunch, which was right after recess. No fever, no cough, no congestion, no other symptoms. Admins said he had to come home. Working from home, no problem. Clearly sick when I picked him up. After eating lunch at home and about 30 min. of R&R, he was clearly better. About a week later, the nurse calls with the same problem. "So I need to come pick him up?" I said. "No, I was out of the office when he came in last time and I think our substitute nurse was just being cautious.", she replied.
One kid. Presumably one illness. Two nurses. Two different courses of treatment. I understand it's a public school nurse and didn't get my hackles up but, at the same time, neither one was injecting him with anything.
" but, at the same time, neither one was injecting him with anything."
That you are aware of...
Isn't the second shot supposed to be given 4 weeks later?
I used to get the same symptoms after shots.
Not for kids. Almost every pediatric group and clinical trial recommended a 3-5 month delay for a second shot, and only if the kid is at risk for developing complications.
Frankly, adults shouldn’t be getting shots sooner than 3 months apart. Too many risks, zero benefit for getting it in under 3 months.
The FBI should arrest the parents.
The nurse should be fired, from a cannon, into a wood chipper.
The Chippocratic oath.
Everyone involved should be in fucking prison. Performing unauthorized and irreversible medical procedures on other people's children. Shouldn't be treated any differently than if they had fucked him in the ass in exchange for pizza.
Where's the equity? I want my pizza too
Giving children food (or other gifts) to allow you to do things to their bodies that you warn them not to tell their parents about used to have a different name.
I remember a special episode of Different Strokes about that.
This kind of behavior leaves children sore in the end.
You really shouldn't poke around so much - if you need to reach that much for a pun, it's probably in vein.
No need to needle him, the thread needs an injection of levity! (Check back for boosters, it’s worth a shot!)
Children avoiding this were fearful had this happened to them it would have rectum.
With assholes like these in charge, a rearguard action is need to thwart their assinine ends!
"First shot's free..."

Democrats to Maribel Duarte about her 13-year-old son: you didn't build that!
So totes OK to usurp her pretentious authority.
Flag was a keyboarding error.
I think we can all agree that Los Angeles-style pizza is objectively the worst.
I hate pizza generally, so no, I can't agree that one style of pizza is objectively worse than another.
How do you feel about mandatory injections? Something about a pizza with syringes involved just screams 'LA' to me.
syringes
Sorry, hypodermic needles.
Dr. Mengele approves this message.
I think you mean Dr. Fauci. But I understand how you could get confused there.
I don't understand how that could possibly be legal.
fuck you, that's how?
Basically. I'm sure a private school would be sued into oblivion over something like this, but government employees do what they want.
The solution is to vote for more government power!
-sarcasmic
In NJ, it would be considered battery.
That's what I'm thinking. How is this not battery?
It's lacking an electrolyte.
/EE Humor.
Battery is a very serious charge
And performing irreversible medical procedures on someone else's minor children is very serious.
Agreed and I’d love to see follow up on this
And I missed the pun. Because puns are the lowest form of humor.
Hey man, we’re in the midst of a pundemic here! Just like battery charges, there are pluses and minuses to it! (Example of a Plus: Fauci et al should be forced to read these on a daily basis!)
Some folks have the capacity to get amped up about this.
You are all fucking dead to me.
Watt?!?!
Especially those DC types!
Take Another Shot
Just a little pinprick...
Said the needle dicks in charge
Aren't consent forms still a thing? Parental approval? Anyone?
Students are property of the government schools.
FBI, ARREST THIS MAN! Clearly, he has unauthorized access to some highly classified government memos!
The Barack Obama Global Prep Academy is doing it's job - of preparing people to live under a socialist dictatorship. They're just more open about it than most government schools.
