Get pizza, take a shot of vaccine! Now, that's "pizza with everything."

In a shocking story, a mom named Maribel Duarte told NBC Los Angeles that her 13-year-old son had come home from school with a vaccine card and told her he had accepted the shot after being offered pizza.

Offered? The word is “bribed.” (Not sure if he put it that way to his mom, but that’s what it was.) The boy was even told not to say anything about it.

“It hurt to know he got a shot without my permission, without knowing and without signing any papers for him to get the shot,” Duarte said.

The school was Barack Obama Global Prep Academy in South L.A. How ironic that this happened at a school named for the President who pushed a mandate for government health care policies. Feel free to make up your own joke.

The Los Angeles Unified School District has determined that all students 12 and over are required to be “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19 by January 10, 2022, unless they’re granted a waiver or “other exemption.” That date is looming, but it looks as though they’re getting there, largely because, according to the story in FOX News, this district –- the second largest in the United States –- saw its enrollment drop by more than 27,000, or 6 percent, at the start of this school year over the mandate. At this point, among those who are still enrolled, the district boasts a vaccination rate of over 80 percent.

For LAUSD employees, the requirement started earlier. October 15 was the deadline for teachers and other staff to get their first shot. Those who hadn’t had one dose by then would not be able to return to work. One might think that in California, everybody was on board with the mandate, but that is definitely not the case.

The district says they haven’t confirmed that this incident with the student occurred, but Duarte said her son told her that the woman who’d given him the shot --- and signed the paper --- had told him to keep it a secret. “Please don’t say anything,” she said to the student. “I don’t want to get in trouble.”

The school district does have what they call an “incentive program,” with the word “incentive” apparently meaning, at least in this case, “bribe.” They call it their Safe Steps to Safe Schools Incentive Program. “This program offers incentives to families who upload proof of their vaccine, have an approved medical exemption, or have conditional admissions.” Once they upload this proof, they are issued a “Daily Pass” to be able to attend class. They still have to wear a mask and socially distance “as best possible.”

It’s not clear what “conditional admissions” means. Perhaps some kids are sensitive to gluten and can’t eat the free pizza. Here's a closer look at the program.

https://achieve.lausd.net/covid

“The science is clear,” it begins, even though the scientific evidence in favor of vaccinating 12-year-olds for COVID-19 is not clear at all. Elsewhere on the site, it says, “Strong scientific evidence shows that vaccinations are an essential part of protecting our communities,” and links to this from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/148/2/e2021052336/179782/COVID-19-Vaccines-in-Children-and-Adolescents

It recommends COVID vaccination for children 12 and up. Still, if you read all the way to the bottom, there is this caveat: “The guidance in this statement does not indicate an exclusive course of treatment or serve as the standard of medical care. Variations, taking into account individual circumstances, may be appropriate.”

That’s funny, because by adhering to these strict deadlines, district officials ARE requiring “an exclusive course of treatment” and setting "the standard of medical care.” They need to remember they are not doctors –- or parents –- so they are about the last people who should be determining which “individual circumstances” to take into account.

The school district told NBC Los Angeles that “several steps are in place to ensure vaccinated students receive prizes.”

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/mom-says-son-vaccinated-in-exchange-for-pizza-at-lausd-without-her-consent/2773619/

In all our searching, we still couldn’t turn up what the supposed “incentives” or “prizes” are that go to students and families (other than simply to be able to come in and attend class in person –- and free pizza, of course), or what those “conditional admissions” are. But the site explains that in order to be fully vaccinated by the deadline of January 10, every student 12 years old or older must receive the first shot no later than November 21 and the second no later than December 19. Younger students “must receive their first vaccine dose by no later than 30 days after their 12th birthday, and their second dose by no later than 8 weeks after their 12th birthday.”

For students 5-11, the vaccine is “highly encouraged” but not currently mandatory. The district started offering it on November 8.

Presumably, Duarte’s son had hit the deadline of November 21 without being vaccinated and would have had to leave school and take his classes online unless he got the first shot on schedule.

Tammy Bruce, host of Tuesday’s “Fox News Primetime,” spoke about this with with flabbergasted attorney Pam Bondi, former attorney general of Florida. “It’s not only disturbing,” she said, “but it is illegal, obviously, in the state of California.” Parental consent is still absolutely required for children under 18 to receive a COVID vaccine. Bondi pointed out that this boy has asthma and allergies –- something his mother would have known but the school likely did not. What if he’d had a reaction to the shot? Schools never used to give a child so much as a baby aspirin without parental approval.

“Parents, it is your choice,” Bondi said, “whether or not your children are going to be vaccinated. Not teachers, not the socialists, not the school bureaucrats who go rogue, and they have to be held accountable.” She said this parent has a civil case, and that it might even be considered criminal battery, as children can’t give consent.

The woman who gave the shot was right about one thing: if this kid said anything, she WOULD be in trouble, along with the school, the district, and everyone who’s pushing to do this or anything else to kids against their parents’ wishes. It’s a good thing he told his mom.

    Mike, good articles, enjoy your opinions, etc, but most articles are much, much, much too long. Just my opinion. Have good day. BW

    Dear Governor,
    This situation is completely unholy. Am I imagining the ferocity to which this administration will go in order to give a shot of drugs in the name of protection? The government just loaded a bill that would allow the government more access to each citizens information, especially if you were vaccinated or not. To what end will they go? Is this the precursor to the chip they want to plant in each person? It's coming and sooner than one might think. Has our rights to decide, religion and the safety factors put in place by our forefathers totally being taken away. God help us!

    On the subject of government creating a bigger problem by trying to solve another problem (regarding the electric car/ rainforest dilemma)-- My name for the government has always been the "kudzu government." Here's why: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2010/12/kudzu_a_lesson_in_big_governme.html

    Thank you, once again for providing the news as it exists, not as someone wants it to exist. Each time I read something about most of the mainstream media, I think, no, this can’t be happening. It’s all a bad dream. I wish!

    The thing that is proving to draw the most attention to the government excess is the taking over of parental control. When it comes to our children and their health, as well as the teaching of certain subjects much to children much to young, parents are seemingly forgetting their staunch progressive views. The destruction of the nuclear family is being noticed, FINALLY. For some reason, the socialists are so arrogant that they think they can succeed where others have not. Guess what folks, Chinese, North .Koreans, Russians, Venezuelans, Cubans, etc. are not stupid people. It’s simply your arrogance that makes you think otherwise. Facts vs, feelings make for success.

    There is so much to deal with and comment on in this evening's edition regarding the miasma of corruption and stupidity embodied in the Left--from NYC to LA to the White House.

    Regarding the shopping cart of groceries costing $270 and Lets Go Brandon's staff of inept, stupid and socialist-inspired idiots meeting with the media to bend perceptions of runaway inflation, note that the $270 not only was much higher, but there was less in the cart as well.

    Sharp-eyed shoppers will note that even as prices increase on the staples of the home pantry, quantities in the packaging are decreasing. What was once 16 ounces is now 14. A bag of cookies that was 10 ounces is now 9 ounces. Might be same price, but it's 10% less content. That is equivalent to 10% inflation right there! And it is rampant in the stores now.

    So the inflation rates being reported are being grossly underreported as these sorts of under the radar inflationary techniques explode.

    Mike we thank you for your truthful messages, we do not get any of that in news these days. I wish someone could remove all the unqualified in the White House and his cabinet members for none of them even know where the bathroom is, they just keep on spreading horse droppings every time they open their mouths. It is so sad that the communist countries are not afraid of America and laugh at the man in the White House. We in our home are praying Jesus comes now, America needs him.

    Does anyone remember this article, published originally in APRIL 2020 (and circulated fairly widely in the 'silent press' in February 2021)? -

    "From French virologist Dr. Luc Montangier who got the Nobel prize for discovering HIV, in 1984:

    "My studies show the virus to be spliced DNA that includes elements of malaria and HIV. This virus could never occur naturally, so the virus must be lab-made."
    The media ridiculed him. Now we know he was 100% correct! The media has since half-heartedly 'apologized' to him.

    Very importantly, he further said "The proposed mRNA injection will begin to shut down the body's immune system, causing Immune Deficiency Effect (IDE). This, in turn, will cause people to start suddenly dying from Sudden Death Effect (SDE) within about 2 years of getting such an injection."

    "To stop this effect," he said, "Repeated mRNA injections will be needed to supplement the body's failing immune system. At the same time, these repeated mRNA injections will hasten Immune Deficiency Effect (IDE)."
    Could he have been clearer? But again he was ridiculed by the media for suggesting "repeated mRNA injections will be needed."

    The USA is now talking "three injections" and Fauci is on record saying there "will likely be many injections, stretching into 2023!"
    Sweden is now on four, heading to five!

    At this time, "50 - 80% of people getting sick with flu-like symptoms in the USA and elsewhere have been
    'vaccinated and double-vaccinated."
    (according to multiple media reports).

    I noticed the headline "Vaccine Mandates Stopped" and I wish it were entirely accurate. True, BIden's mandates have been stopped in court, thank goodness. But Intercessors for America has reported that the House of Representatives has just passed HR 550 which provides $400 million to implement a vaccine passport system. This would create a different sort of mandate, not tied to employment, but tracking those who chose not to vaccinate and limiting their participation in society. Passed within the past week, apparently with support of all Democrats and 80 Republicans. I've "copied and pasted" the information from Intercessors for America (IFA) about this, below. Their report says the purpose of this legislation is to "strengthen the current vaccine mandates" among other things. IFA suggests contacting your Senators to let them know your opinions on this.

    "While all eyes were on the Dobbs case the evening before the Supreme Court hearing, the House was hearing about and debating a sinister plan to implement a national immunization record tracking system."

    "Called the H.R. 550 - Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2021, the measure was debated for just 40 minutes, and the recorded vote revealed all Democrats and 80 Republicans voted in favor of passage – 294 in total."

    "The Act was sent to the U.S. Senate where it will be evaluated by the Health, Education, Labor & Pension Committee (known as the HELP Committee)."

    "This measure is one Senate vote away from becoming law."

    "What does it do?"

    "The bill appropriates $400 million to develop and implement a national immunization record tracking system for use federally, by states, by local municipalities, by US territories and even sovereign nation tribal areas."

    "The purpose of this bill is clear":

    "To strengthen the current vaccine mandates."
    "To add a layer of enforcement to the mandate which may result in refusing access or services to non-vaccinated or non-boostered Americans."
    "To provide a mechanism for federal, state and local governments to access your vaccine status that would easily lead to the introduction of a vaccine passport or no-fly list."

    "What happens next? If passed by the Senate, it would be implemented in less than 12 months. Once freedom and privacy on this issue is lost, it will be nearly impossible to regain. The time to act is now."
