A growing number of public schools are using mascots, food trucks and prize giveaways to create a pep-rally atmosphere aimed at encouraging students to get vaccinated against the coronavirus before summer vacation.
Districts from California to Michigan are offering free prom tickets and deploying mobile vaccination teams to schools to inoculate students 12 and up so everyone can return to classrooms in the fall. They are also enlisting students who have gotten shots to press their friends to do the same.
Now the Ontario Government, the same one threatening free-thinking doctors to toe the medical line ‘or else’, is buying off 12+ year olds with free ice cream. It’s mind-blowing where we’ve come to. And it does seem to be mostly political. If you decide to check the Twitter posts of the Canadian doctor below, you’ll need a pretty strong stomach.
Canadian Government Lured Children with Free Ice Cream to Take COVID Vaccine without Parental Consent
NEED TO KNOW NEWS
The Ontario government enticed minors with promises of free ice cream to get the experimental COVID-19 shot without parental consent. Ontario’s University of Health Network aimed to deliver Pfizer vaccines to adolescents, as Pfizer recently received an emergency authorization for children ages 12 to 15 to receive the vaccine. Ontario’s provincial Health Care Consent Act states there is no minimum age to provide consent for vaccination and a child does not need external permission to receive one.
This is another example of how leftists are trying to usurp parental authority, especially when it comes to important health decisions.

You can’t make this stuff up.
Ontario’s University of Health Network is teaming up with community organizers to deliver Pfizer vaccines to children at a pop-up vaccine event at the Nathan Phillips Square this Sunday — and children are encouraged to do so even without their parents’ permission.
“Holiday news: our pop-up vaccine team is coming to Nathan Phillips Square for 12+ year olds this Sunday,” announced Harvard scientist Andrew Baback Boozary on Friday. “Social medicine kicker: free ice cream with the vaccine.”

From The Star:
In York, those 13 and under require a parent or guardian to attend to give verbal consent, or they need to sign a consent form.
Peel Region had initially asked a parent or guardian to provide “informed consent,” when announcing appointments would be open Thursday to anyone 12 and older, in a press release Wednesday morning.
Later that day, the region changed its tune, saying approval was no longer needed. Peel told the Star this was to remove barriers.
Toronto Public Health said it will not be asking for parent or guardian approval, citing the Health Care Consent Act.
Dr. Saba Merchant, a pediatrician, also claimed children 12-15 don’t need their parents’ permission to take the COVID shot.
“If the child does not have an intellectual disability, then they definitely have the capacity and the ability to make that decision,” she said.
Given the extremely low risk COVID-19 poses to children, it’s unusual that the government is so keen to get children vaccinated.
Notably, the Pfizer mRNA vaccine was just recently approved by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration for Emergency Use for 12-15 year olds.
This is just another example of how leftists are trying to usurp parental authority and diminish parents’ roles in raising their children, especially when it comes to important health decisions.
