This is a wild story. A New York high school science teacher named Laura Parker Russo vaccinated the friend of her son during a visit to their house. The kids’ parents did not give permission and had no idea about it until he came home and told them. No one knows how the teacher got vials of the J&J vaccine and/or if there is only one victim.
What is it about unstable people being drawn to the teaching profession? The Daily Mail has video of the event. Mrs. Laura Parker Russo has been arrested. Can you even fathom the mindset of a person who would do this?
(Via Daily Mail) – […] Footage made public Monday shows Laura Parker Russo, 54, cleaning the unidentified teen’s skin as she prepared to administer a dose of the J&J vaccine into his right arm. As Russo smiles, the teen can be heard saying: ‘There you go, at-home vaccine,’ in the video obtained by NBC New York.
The outlet reported the vaccine being the Johnson and Johnson brand, which is only recommended for adults. She stuck the needle into the boy’s arm on New Year’s Eve, police said. The vaccine was authentic, but it is unclear how Parker Russo – who has no medical qualifications – obtained it, and cops are now investigating the matter.
Russo, a Herricks High School biology teacher according to an online bio, was arrested and charged after the teen returned home and told his mother about the shot, according to the Nassau County Police Department.
‘The mother had not given permission or authority to have her son injected with a Covid vaccine and called police,’ a department press release said. (read more)
Can you imagine your 17-year-old son or daughter coming home from a friend’s house and saying, “Oh, by the way, Billy’s mom vaccinated me today“… wait, wha? What kind of person would even think this would be remotely okay to just start vaccinating random kids, friends of your kids, without consent of their parents? This is beyond nuts…
And this is the mindset of people who could be reasoned with?
It will be interesting to follow this case and see what (if anything, since it’s NYS) she is charged with, and what her penalty is.
Oh, I see she was charged w/ “unauthorized practice of a profession”- whatever the h*ll that is.
I can see her sliding by w/ a slap on the wrist in NYS.
Should’ve been assault and battery.
Does “teach” also give out vaccine cards ?
To be truthful I have as yet to meet a teacher that is not a little on the loopy side. When met outside the classroom the couple I have been exposed to were insanely giddy, unfocused and I truthfully wondered how they were ever hired to teach. I have since learned that not all college students are able to complete their studies to be what they start out to be. They drop back and punt for the easiest courses and degrees available which is TEACHING..! I was stunned to learn this and now understand how our schools have been turned into Marxist/Communist propaganda camps for our children. When you are only able to do one thing, or they say you are qualified to do one thing, you will do what ever it takes to keep your job including teach whatever THEY say to teach.
Dear God, what has become of our great country?
Hah, back when i was in college many yrs ago, the folks who had the most fun, drank the most beer and smoked the most weed were the journo and education majors – little homework, not much required reading, easy cake courses, etc.
These insane people are drawn to teaching because they can impose their ‘will” upon their innocent victims. When my youngest son was in school, we had all kinds of issues in the Public school system – the stories I could tell!!! I was astounded and we finally had to put him into private school. In the south, these public schools promote hatred and racism-all the while not teaching them a damn thing about “reading, writing, and arithmetic”!!! SOOOOOO glad mine are all out of high school and now college!!
“What is it about unstable people being drawn to the teaching profession?”
Thats a good question, SD.
Im gonna offer this: A LOT of people I’ve encountered in my teaching experience have been low-self esteem.
Myself included.
I saw a ton of victims. Many damaged people who were unable to overcome their issues.
A ton of people who think helping others makes them whole.
Many people I worked with needed help, almost as much as the kids.
The problem is: if you can’t even help yourself, how can you help others?
Teaching invites and welcomes the damaged. It encourages the woe is me.
Thank God there are still a number of actually healthy people teaching.
They do exist. I’m friends with some of them.
Those are the healthy people who can externalization the bull crap,
and keep their sh@@ together in real life.
Teachers aren’t all bad, crazy, damaged.
Its just that the systems they work in discourage healthy people,
so those people eventually leave the profession.
You end up with some strong forces pushing in one direction (union), which are tough to overcome.
So many don’t fight it, they just get on board.
Or they leave.
Not excusing this woman, at all
Just attempting to answer SD’s question.
“Can you even fathom the mindset of a person who would do this?”
Actually, yes. She probably believed the media and teachers union narrative that the virus will kill children (or parents and teachers via children) and that the only way to stop it is with the vaccines.
It looks more likely that believing the media and teachers union will land you in prison.
It doesn’t matter what she believes, her actions were way beyond unacceptable. Beyond Child Abuse.
I completely agree. Just pointing out where the madness comes from. And the consequences of believing it.
I only needed to see the photo of her on a horse to understand what the issue was…
Not sure if anyone else has raised this, but it seems likely that not only is she now charged with an offence, but she’s likely also made herself liable to be sued for damages over any adverse events the boy suffers.
Where is the vetting of our K-12 teachers? Higher education is gone. The best options left for graduating HS students are vocational training and private, Christian universities and you need to vet the latter. WOKE, communist bullshit is like trying to keep smoke out of your garage. You have to stay vigilant from the time you leave your children in the educational custody of government education until they have completed their training or degree. If you raise of a child in the way they should walk, our communities, states and nation will carry forward our heritage of the founding fathers and gratitude towards God Almighty.
