Tennessee fires its top vaccine manager

The top vaccine official for the state of Tennessee said Monday she was fired after an argument over vaccinating children against coronavirus.
Now Dr. Michelle Fiscus, a pediatrician who has served as the state's medical director of the vaccine-preventable diseases and immunization for two years, said she is afraid for the people of her state -- which is already lagging in vaccination against the virus.
"It is just astounding to me how absolutely political and self-centered our elected people are here and how very little they care for the people of Tennessee," Fiscus told CNN in a telephone interview.
She was fired because she advocated vaccinating children without their parents' knowledge. Good for the state of Tennessee!

Good
The move toward vaccinating kids without their parents knowledge/permission is a hill to die on.

SCOOP: Tennessee Department of Health halts all vaccine outreach to kids – not just for COVID-19, but all diseases – amid pressure from GOP. Staff ordered to remove the agency logo from any documents providing vaccine info to the public, per internal dox.

The agency will also end all COVID-19 vaccine events at schools, even though they've mostly served adults. And, if teens get a two-dose vaccine, it won't remind them to go back for their second dose. Teens are intentionally stripped from the mailing list for reminder postcards.

She claims that’s already the law in Tennessee.

I get no covid shots for kids but all of the normal ones too?
Doesn't that seem a bit, ridiculous? What defines "outreach" here. Print/media?

Tennessee's health department has been called to testify before the state legislature, Fiscus said, and a frightened state health department has responded by stopping vaccination outreach efforts.
So the health dept just stopped, but not because it was told to by anyone?
So weird...

Frick her and the push that every living person needs to be vaccinated.

Outreach is literally vaccinating children (not just giving them info) w/out parents knowledge or consent.

We just found out that the wife of a friend of mine had a stroke after receiving her 2nd covid shot. No history of BP problems. The stroke occurred within 2 weeks of the injection. Very strange. Coincidence, I suppose?
Don't come to my door.

Fiscus said all she did was share the memo that laid out a decades-old state policy.
"A recipient of that memo was upset that, according to Tennessee Supreme Court case law, minors ages 14-17 years are able to receive medical care in Tennessee without parental consent and posted the memo to social media," Fiscus said in a statement.
"Within days, legislators were contacting TDH (Tennessee Department of Health) asking questions about the memo with some interpreting it as an attempt to undermine parental authority. Let me be clear: this was an informational memo containing language approved by the TDH Office of General Counsel which was sent to medical providers by the medical director of the state's immunization program regarding the guardrails set 34 years ago by the Tennessee Supreme Court around providing care to minors," she added.
Folks are losing their minds.

Clearly her diet is a far greater danger to her than covid.

Send that bitch back to 1941 Germany!
Unbelievable... without consent... to a group with damn near zero risk of death.
