In April, faculty and staff at a small Miami private school received a letter telling them that if they chose to get the COVID-19 vaccine, they would have to keep their distance from the students. A week later, one fifth-grade student sent an email home to her parents from the school.
The teacher "is telling us to stay away from you guys," the student wrote, according to reports.
The episode at the Centner Academy is the latest example of online misinformation seeping into the real world. School co-founder Leila Centner framed the policy as a matter of protecting the unvaccinated people from "being negatively impacted" by those who got their COVID-19 shots.
"We have at least three women with menstrual cycles impacted after having spent time with a vaccinated person," Centner said.
The notion that the COVID-19 vaccines can be "shed" like the coronavirus itself "is a conspiracy that has been created to weaken trust" in the vaccines, said Christopher Zahn, vice president of practice activities at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
