State Supreme Court Blocks Mother From Vaccinating Children Against COVID-19
The Rhode Island Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a mother from getting her children vaccinated against COVID-19.
A trial court in January rejected arguments from Joshua Nagel, the children’s father, and said Lauren Nagel, the mother, could take her children to get COVID-19 vaccines. Lawyers for Joshua Nagel quickly asked the state’s top court for a stay.
A single justice entered a temporary stay on Jan. 26. The full court reviewed the case and on Feb. 9 said it was keeping the stay in place. Justices ordered Joshua Nagel to perfect an appeal within 15 days and for the parties to appear in court for oral arguments on April 13.
“We are just very gratified that the RI Supreme Court has granted this stay and is willing to listen to our arguments as to why these two young girls do not need the COVID vaccine,” Gregory Piccirilli, a lawyer representing Joshua Nagel, told The Epoch Times via email.
A lawyer representing Lauren Nagel did not respond to requests for comment.
The case is believed to be the first in the country dealing with a parental dispute over COVID-19 vaccines to make it to a state supreme court.
Divorce Settlement
At the core of the case is a divorce settlement that says both parties would jointly decide on major decisions affecting the health of the children, who are 8 and 5, respectively. The pact also stated that “Neither party shall unreasonably withhold his or her consent to medical treatment for the children or the administration of medication recommended by the pediatrician of the children.”
Dr. Colleen Ann Powers, the children’s pediatrician, recommended the children get a COVID-19 vaccine. In her practice, she and her workers have administered some 1,500 to 2,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses. Powers says benefits of the vaccines outweigh the risks.
The vaccines are authorized to prevent COVID-19 but they provide little protection against symptomatic infection, officials are increasingly acknowledging. Powers said the main benefit is protection against severe illness. No efficacy data from clinical trials supports that claim, and observational data on the protection in children is mixed.
Powers said her sources of information were the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which recommends virtually every person aged 6 months or older get vaccinated against COVID-19, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), an organization whose guidance mirrors the CDC’s.
The groups have been among those promoting misinformation during the pandemic. The AAP, meanwhile, falsely states that the messenger RNA from the vaccines is “broken down very quickly” once entering the body. Studies have detected the messenger RNA in the blood at 28 days after vaccination and in lymph nodes two months after vaccination.”
Dr. Colleen Ann Powers is uninformed and wrong on at least 3 positions:
“Powers says benefits of the vaccines outweigh the risks.”
The “vaccine” does not stay at the injection site and travels in the bloodstream.
The CDC reversed its position on natural immunity.
1. From NCPFF, NC Physicians For Freedom.
“Children are much more likely to be harmed than helped by the vaccine. Children are 6 times more likely to be hospitalized for myocarditis from the COVID vaccine than from COVID infection.
The position of the NC Physician’s for Freedom (NCPFF) is that any COVID-19 vaccine mandate for children is unnecessary and unethical. In this Position Statement we will explain that children do not need the Covid vaccine and that giving the Covid vaccine to children will not slow the spread. However, administering these vaccines to children does carry significant potential health risks.
Children do not need the vaccine:
Survival rate: Children have a 99.997 percent survival rate from COVID-19. [1] For most children, COVID-19 is little more than a mild cold. Nearly 70% of the 94 total children that have died from Covid had a significant preexisting condition. [2] The survival rate for a child between the ages of 5-11 without any significant preexisting condition is nearly 100%. Given the availability of preventive measures such as Vitamin D and early treatment, no child needs to die from this virus. This is demonstrated in Pfizer’s own data that demonstrated zero children from either group (vaccinated vs. unvaccinated) developed severe COVID, were hospitalized, or died.[3]
Natural immunity: It is estimated that 42% of children have already had Covid and have natural immunity (and this is only the reported positive cases). The CDC itself notes that cases in children are less likely to be reported than those in adults.[4]
As the data on natural immunity emerges, it is becoming abundantly clear that natural immunity is more robust and protective than the vaccine. For example, the research out of Israel indicates that natural immunity is 13 times more protective than the vaccine for hospitalization and death. [5]It is also important to note that children with natural immunity were purposefully excluded from the vaccine trial. This is particularly important since there is growing evidence that those with natural immunity have a higher chance of side effects / reactions from the vaccine. [6]
Administering the COVID-19 vaccine to children will not slow the spread:
Evidence suggests that children are less likely to spread Covid. While data varies from country to country, opening schools did not show an increase in cases of Covid.[7]
The vaccine does not prevent people from contracting and spreading Covid. In fact, there is some evidence that people who have had the vaccine actually have a higher viral load than those with normal infections.[8]
The risk of vaccinating children far outweighs the benefits:
Children are much more likely to be harmed than helped by the vaccine. The highest short-term risk is myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). Children are 6 times more likely to be hospitalized for myocarditis from the COVID vaccine than from COVID infection. [9]
The FDA projects 109 excess myocarditis (heart inflammation) cases per 1 million kids vaccinated (ages 12 to 17).[10] If we vaccinate all eligible children, would cause 3,000 myocarditis cases in children. In adults, myocarditis carries a 20% fatality rate within 2 years, 50% within 10 years. We do not know what the 2- and 5-year fatality rate will be for kids after myocarditis, but long-term disability is likely.”
“Conclusion:
At this point, it should be clear that administering COVID vaccines to children is not scientifically reasonable. Giving a child a vaccine for a disease that has a near 100% survival rate, when there are known short term complications and potential long-term complications, is not following good science or sound public health practice. Vaccine mandates of any kind are not in the best interest of our children.”
2. From Dr. Russell Blaylock.
"Covid Update: What is the truth?"
“The Japanese resorted to a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) lawsuit to force Pfizer to release its secret biodistribution study. The reason Pfizer wanted it kept secret is that it demonstrated that Pfizer lied to the public and the regulatory agencies about the fate of the injected vaccine contents (the mRNA enclosed nano-lipid carrier). They claimed that it remained at the site of the injection (the shoulder), when in fact their own study found that it rapidly spread throughout the entire body by the bloodstream within 48 hours.
The study also found that these deadly nano-lipid carriers collected in very high concentrations in several organs, including the reproductive organs of males and females, the heart, the liver, the bone marrow, and the spleen (a major immune organ). The highest concentration was in the ovaries and the bone marrow. These nano-lipid carriers also were deposited in the brain.”
3. A) CDC Reveals Natural Immunity Acquired Through Previous Infection of COVID-19 Provides More Protection than Vaccines
A new report released on Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that unvaccinated people who recovered from COVID-19 were better protected than those who were vaccinated and not previously infected during the recent delta surge.
B) Natural Immunity Superior to Vaccination Against Infection in Children
“Children with natural immunity were better protected from COVID-19 infection and hospitalization than children who were vaccinated, according to a new study.
Children aged 5 to 11 with post-infection protection, or natural immunity from an infection with Omicron or a subvariant, and no vaccination had 88.4 percent protection against reinfection, researchers in North Carolina found. That was compared to 59.7 percent protection against Omicron from a primary series of a messenger RNA vaccine, or two doses of vaccine from Pfizer or Moderna, among the uninfected.”
C) Dr. Hooman Noorchashm sent a warning letter to the FDA on Jan 26, 2021.
“I am writing to warn that it is an almost certain immunological prognotication that if viral antigens are present in the tissues of subjects who undergo vaccination, the antigen specific immune response triggered by the vaccine will target those tissues and cause tissue inflammation and damage.”
