A mother from California says that the Barack Obama Global Prep Academy in Los Angeles injected her son with the COVID-19 vaccine against his will and used rewards like pizza to get the child to do it.
“The lady who gave him the injection and signed the paper said to me, son, ‘Please don’t say anything. I do not want to get in trouble,'” Maribel Duarte told NBC Los Angeles this week. Her 13-year-old son attends school.
Duarte said he discovered it son did the vaccination card one day, showing that you have received two doses of Pfizer vaccine, without her being informed. Los Angeles schools have ordered that all students age 12 and older in school be vaccinated by January 10. Duarte said she’s vaccinated, but her wanted refrain from taking it son vaccinated in how much do you have asthma and allergy problems.
A spokesperson for the district did not confirm the accident with by Duarte but confirmed that incentives are being offered to students to get ripped off at school. The program through which these incentives are offered is called the Safe Schools to Safe Steps Incentive Program, which offers rewards to “families who upload the proof of their vaccine, have an approved medical exemption, or have conditional hospitalizations.

Duarte and his lawyer say they are trying to get the Los Angeles school system to stop requiring kids to get vaccinated.
On social media, the claims made by the California mother worried people who are against the vaccine requirement. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called the claims “scary.”
Absolutely scary government should do not bypass parents like this. Parents need to know (and consent) for their child to receive the vaccine. https://t.co/aNuUQdsNOw
