A hefty $300 000 fine has been slapped on a New York midwife for giving 1 500 children homeopathic pellets rather than the vaccinations required by the state during the Covid-19 pandemic – and then falsifying their immunisation records.
Jeanette Breen reportedly gave the pellets as an alternative to required jabs during the 2019-202 school year, according to the New York Department of Health, which says the false records have since been voided, and that the families will have to ensure their students are up-to-date with their shots before they can return to school.
Associated Press reports that in 2019, the state ended a religious exemption to vaccine requirements for schoolchildren in response to the pandemic. Breen was licensed to provide healthcare services and reportedly offered the families her “Real immunity homeoprophylaxis programme”, which consisted of a series of oral pellets.
These were marketed as alternatives for vaccinations, but have not been recognised or approved by the state or the federal government for that use.
About 1 500 students were given the pellets before she began falsifying records, which claimed the children had been immunised against measles, mumps, rubella, polio, chickenpox, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and a host of other diseases.
Breen has paid half of the fine and will not have to pay the second half if she complies with state health laws, and agrees to never again administer any immunisations that must be reported to the state.
She has also been permanently banned from using the state’s immunisation records.
