Do they not read what they send out to parents!?!?

[FlemCandango]

This anti Vax bollox was sent round to all parents of my child's school today. See photo.

I am struggling to understand why and how this happened! They have sent round a new email to say ignore the previous. But really poor show from the school 🤦

@Minecraftmadness

Just got it from my kids secondary followed swiftly by a retraction!

I think if people have to resort to faking documents and tricking people, then their beliefs and what they are trying to achieve is wrong, and deep down they know they are wrong.

Simply don't get your child vaccinated!
Don't even get yourself vaccinated!

Your choice.

Stop trying to manipulate everyone else around you because you are worried about missing out. Take responsibility for your decision and shut up about everyone else. Don't try and deny other people and/or their children a vaccine that they want. It's none of your business and your motives for trying to stop other people getting the vaccine are dubious and/or bad.

We had this from our school too. They said in the retraction that it had come from the council. Worrying, but not surprising!

@bigoff

This.

If Mrs Whatsersheep wants to deny herself and her kids the vaccine, crack on, but piss off trying to erode my and my kids right to choose.

Deny myself the vaccine 🤣 that's hilarious! Please crack another joke? You've got me in stitches here

Thankfully the hundreds of people I have vaccinated have been very happy when it was their turn. A very positive experience.

Yes I'm sure you're genuinely laughing out loud at all the sheeple... 🙄

“All the sheeple, so many sheeple and they all go hand in hand, hand in hand to get their Vax done. Know what I mean?”

@Takingabreakagain

They've provided some facts to you so you can properly assess the situation and make an informed decision. I can't see how that is anti vaccination

Oh yeah some 'facts' 🙄

Wow ok well thank you MrsTesfaye for classing up the thread with your contributions.

I stand by my concerns that schools have unknowingly distributed faked checklists purporting to be from the NHS. That is an issue. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the decision to vaccinate young people against COVID. Surely!?

All the blather about whether the information in the FAKE leaflet is true is kind of irrelevant imo.

Why do you assume its left to teaching staff?

I assume it's left to the Senior Management Team. Because that is their job.

@MrsTesfaye

Both

Really, @MrsTesfaye? What precisely are your qualifications and experience, and where are papers you have authored published?

@Droite

I did indeed publish a very important piece of work recently after extensive research on the covid 19 vaccine, it's entitled 'kiss my unvaccinated ass', I think you'd be very interested

@DumplingsAndStew

Quite. But it's certainly not the teaching staff who are tasked with reading and sending out information either.

You're the one who equated a school wide mission to educate to mean that we were talking about staff who taught and first implied that it should be secretaries etc. who would be tasked with this sort of thing.

I would actually expect the SLT to be approving all parent emails - most often via policy, but for stuff forwarded to the school then I would expect them to evaluate whether it was something the school should forward to all parents. Possibly with the assistance of someone with responsibility for the particular area of expertise (COVID or public health in this case). Most SLT are teaching staff, though there's normally a bursar or similar too who could have responsibility for communications.

In any case, the point was that an email that just comes in to the school asking to be sent out really ought to be considered by someone with the critical thinking skills to realise it wasn't what it purported to be.

Because as well as the risk of sending out stuff you don't want the school's name behind, even if it is what it purports to be, simply sending it out to all parents as it comes in instead of thinking about how bombarding their inboxes with lots of random stuff will make communication with them far less effective in the long run, is a really bad idea.

The fact it says the vaccine is "experimental" is a dead giveaway that this is a fake document (written by twats) - the vaccine is approved and thus no longer experimental. To be honest I'd be forwarding it to the NHS and local police - I would like to think that impersonating the NHS might be something both of those bodies would take an interest in.

Christ thats horrendous.

A. That someone has written such shite drivel and tried to pass it off as facts.
B. That no one involved with circulating it actually used their brain.
C. That people on here are defending it.

So nothing based on scientific facts then. As we all surmised.

Received the same today also quickly retracted. It's particularly scary that the list has been sent to several schools in a coordinated attempt to spread it.

@EmRata95

Which parts specifically are lies though? Apart from the obvious it's not NHS?

Can anyone tell me

There are a lot of "mays" e.g. the bit about long term impacts being unknown and "it may cause infertility" etc etc. The use of the word "may" stops it being an outright lie of course but its also extremely misleading - the vaccine "may" also by the year 2030 turn out to have given its recipients various super powers. I "may" meet, seduce, and marry Chris Hemsworth in the next year. Not a lie. Still bullshit.

And the statistics re chances of dying seem off. They might not be completely made up but I think they are massaged - e.g. showing the chances of catching Covid AND then dying from it (rather than the chances of dying if you already have it) and probably heavily massaged. Or they "may" be pulled out of thin air.

My husband is a primary headteacher. We were discussing vaccinations as ds12 has been offered it.
He has just received a government email this morning saying they are aware that schools have sent out incorrect information as if from the government.
Makes me wonder if a government office / LA / may have been accessed / hacked.

But yes they should have checked it.

An online news site has gone through each of the claims on the "consent checklist" and examined their veracity:

inews.co.uk/news/covid-vaccine-consent-form-every-claim-in-the-hoax-nhs-checklist-emailed-to-schools-fact-checked-1222066

They have tracked down the bloke who sent it twitter.com/karamballes/status/1443325439762632716?s=21

Some techie web developer who runs a chemtrails website.

I wonder how the people who were saying 'oh but it's true' feel knowing that it came from a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

I honestly don't think most will care. Once people get caught up in this sort of thinking it's very hard to persuade them otherwise.

Yes, poor that a school didn't read that carefully before sending out, and realise it's a ridiculous scam.

But then I can imagine some poor overworked secretary with zero time being taken in by the NHS logo.... it's difficult, at least they have rescinded it.

Cherry picked stats mocked up to look like and official NHS consent form.

If an organisation has to use mocked up cherry picked information with words such as "coerced" to convey a negative image, then they're talking shit.

The school needs to severely reprimand the staff member who sent it. It wasn't accidental.
