Brickbat: What a Prick!

Police in Sea Cliff, New York, have arrested teacher Laura Russo for injecting a 17-year-old boy with a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine without his parents' permission. The Nassau County School District said Russo has been reassigned from the classroom pending the resolution of her case. Russo gave the boy the vaccine at her home. Police say Russo is not authorized to give the vaccine.

Police say Russo is not authorized to give the vaccine.
Authorized by the ONE TRUE LORD GOD FAUCI to baptize the children in the pure light of the Vaccine and persecuted for it.
Don't worry, once convicted, she totally won't issue any forged vaccine passports from her kitchen table.
That's because vaccinating someone is not just about poking a needle, as one doctor told CBS New York, "You have to draw up the medication into a sterile syringe with a needle and expel some of the air and give the injection properly."
So, simpler than wearing an N-95 mask?
If a homeless heroin addict can figure out how to use a syringe I hardly think that's the biggest issue here. Hell the vaccine is even easier than heroin because you don't have a to find a vein
I'd be very interested in learning how she got her hands on the vaccine doses though, that seems to be the red flag here, given NY's strict controls on it
Here are 7 at-home jobs that pay at least $100/day. And there’s quite the variety too! Some of these work-at-home jobs are more specialized, others are jobs that anyone can do. qnc They all pay at least $3000/month, but some pay as much as $10,000.

The multidose vials containing vaccine also must be made sterile before puncturing the top to draw up the next dose. And air must be inserted to replace fluid taken out.
Then there’s cleaning of hands, the arm, and correctly assembling the syringe and needle to assure sterility. Finally, there’s proper insertion, knowing a little anatomy, and identifying people with atypical anatomy, safety with disposal.
It’s a series of steps anyone can learn in an hour.
But what to do when it goes wrong takes years of education, which is why minimally trained injectors must be supervised at mass vaccination centers.
This woman had no supervision and no apparent training.
But did he give her an 'injection' at her home and is she hot ?
Read the fucking article. You’re gross.
is she hot ?
I think the most fair and honest answer is, I'm not a 17-yr.-old boy and opinions vary.
I will say that if the frame depicted is shot from her dining room, no one so stupid should be teaching children.
She's cute for a 54 year old. Not the "hot teacher" mug shot I was hoping for.
Can't believe she was dumb enough to video it. WTF.
And WHERE DID SHE GET IT?
And WHERE DID SHE GET IT?
The key point being lost is that, even if you could just find one on the street, it's not like you can just put it in the freezer for a week until you find a willing teen to dose with it. You pretty much have to... conspire... with the teen and whomever is giving you the dose to have it at the house when the teen shows up.
I'm all in favor of people, even teens, having access to medications and dosing themselves as they knowingly see fit, but a dose from God-knows-where, stored in God-knows what fashion under the guise of 'Follow the science!'? GTFO!
This is grounds for summary dismissal.
As it is, the teacher's been reassigned from the classroom, but not fired.
It's grounds for prison.
:S
Sea Cliff, not Sea Coast
In one paragraph, Charles Oliver managed three separate errors.
The man is an idiot.
This isn’t a brickbat, as well.

Yeah, I could three uses of the word 'vaccine' too.
What was this kid doing at the teacher's home? I have a suspicion that there's a little bit more to this story that's missing.
“...there's a little bit more to this story that's missing. “
As they say, a stiff prick has no conscience.
The video was taken by the kid’s best friend, whose home he was at.
The mom was doing what this kid’s own mom wouldn’t do, provide a vaccine so he could do things his friends were doing.
She just didn’t have the state’s permission to do it.

Or the other mother's. But you strike me as the kind of person who would enjoy other parents doing things to your kid that you wouldn't do yourself.
The problem is that she didn't have the PARENTS' permission. Or maybe you're a "childrens' rights" radical who thinks minors should be allowed to make medical decisions without the parents being involved.
Now do abortions and sex changes - - - - - - - - -
I don't have the skills.
Do they have online courses for those?
The problem is that she didn't bribe him with pizza. California says it's OK to give the vaccine with out parental permission as long as you give them pizza.
The boy was seventeen years old. Maybe not old enough to buy a condom, but definitely old enough to get a vaccine during a pandemic. Or at least should be. Sheesh.
should != is
"provide a vaccine so he could do things his friends were doing."
So this person who had no business being in possession of a vial of vaccine doses in the first place is somehow authorized to issue a CDC vaccine card as well?
she probably has a stash of them
"The mom was doing what this kid’s own mom wouldn’t do, provide a vaccine so he could do things his friends were doing."
Oh, that makes it ok. What if instead of providing a "vaccine", this mom bought the boy a keg so he could drink like his friends? Because, you know, his own mom wouldn't do it.
"She just didn’t have the state’s permission to do it."
And she probably did not have the facilities to store the vaccine properly (frozen at temperatures much lower than a home deep freeze), nor the chance to use up a whole batch once it was thawed. Unless there is a lot more to the story, she wasted the rest of one batch of vaccine and gave him a probably unsafe and ineffective dose due to improper storage.
Only one of the big vaccines needs a deep freeze, most of them do fine in a fridge.
The cold storage thing is for trucking to the distribution point. Beyond that, these things are fine in a regular fridge.
To the others above, this woman was wrong. That doesn’t make the arrest right.
There should be a middle ground where the kid’s mom could just slash this bitch’s face without the state being involved.
Fer th' love iv Bob! Not another FILF schoolteacher exchanging fluids with a male student as homework!
The teacher should be prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license. And for conducting a medical experiment on an unwilling subject. Capital punishment should be on the table for this.
Also, is there an antidote for the vaccine?
"Also, is there an antidote for the vaccine?"
If you invent one, there's a private school in Florida that wants one! They'll probably pay you the $Big $Bucks for it!!!

Florida School Run by Idiots Says Vaccinated Students Must Stay Home for 30 Days After Each Shot
This is the same school where a teacher told students not to hug their vaccinated parents for more than five seconds.
See? We are ALL data-driven by now! My data says the OTHER (evil) tribe believes in vaccines, so MY tribe must BAN and SHUN the BAD tribe (and their cooties) as much as possible!
The unvaccinated are now CLEAN and the vaccinated are UNCLEAN! Civic-minded BAD! Afraid of micro-chips in vaccines GOOD! Black is white, and good is evil!
It's not an experiment if she used the Pfizer (?) dose.
I'm sure that she had the very best of intentions.
