TRENTON, NJ (editorial/opinion) – This week, the New Jersey Department of Health, under the direction of Governor Phil Murphy announced it will ban unvaccinated students from participating in extracurricular activities including sports, band and clubs. That move is nothing short of a cruel form of punishment against the children by an extremist governor who is leading the state through the pandemic in a fit of pandemic hysteria that makes no sense when it comes from a medical and scientific approach.
Those unvaccinated students will spend an entire day in school, mixed in with vaccinated and unvaccinated students for up to 7 or 8 hours, but when it comes to competing in after-school sports, clubs, and band, those children will be excluded.
This measure is nothing short of punishment of those students for the choices being made by parents who have decided between themselves and perhaps even their health care providers not to inject their children with an experimental use vaccine that has been reported to create heart issues with some children, reported by the CDC.
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis is inflammation of the outer lining of the heart. In both cases, the body’s immune system causes inflammation in response to an infection or some other trigger, the CDC reports. The CDC has issued a warning that myocarditis as a possible side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Cases of myocarditis reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)external icon.
The CDC claims children typically recover quickly from myocarditis, “Patients can usually return to their normal daily activities after their symptoms improve. Those who have been diagnosed with myocarditis should consult with their cardiologist (heart doctor) about return to exercise or sports.”
Banning those children from extracurricular activities would make scientific sense if they were either banned or segregated throughout the entire school day, but these unvaccinated children are co-mingling with vaccinated children during the normal course of a school day.
Murphy made no mentions of unvaccinated teachers, faculty and staff who also come in contact with the children through the normal course of a school day.
The guidance is not based on science, but based on fear-mongering and political appeasement.
