A New York midwife who gave nearly 1,500 children homeopathic pellets instead of required vaccinations has been fined $300,000, the state’s health department announced this week.
Jeanette Breen, who operates Baldwin Midwifery on Long Island, administered the pellets as an alternative to vaccinations and then falsified their immunization records, the agency said Wednesday.
The scheme, which goes back least to the 2019-2020 school year, involved families throughout the state, but the majority reside on suburban Long Island. In 2019, New York ended a religious exemption to vaccine requirements for schoolchildren.
The health department said immunization records of the children who received the falsified records have been voided, and their families must now prove the students are up-to-date with their required shots or at least in the process of getting them before they can return to school.
“My six-year-old needs to be protected from a deadly disease but I don’t trust vaccines. I know! I’ll call a midwife!”
She is awful and deserves prison time, not just a fine, but the parents are also fucking stupid.
The importantance of vaccines are “I need to do my part to protect OTHER kids AND adults from deadly disease”
That’s the biggest part of this problem though, it’s not “my six year old” on the table here - it’s everyone’s six year old. I have a responsibility to understand that.
If we can’t understand the above, then we don’t live in a functioning society.
Unfortunately at this point we actually don’t live in a functioning society.
we don’t live in a functioning society.
beginning to suspect this is right… still wearing my mask in crowded spaces, still watching 1000s die weekly from covid, no one seems to fucking care… 1712 died last week.

That sounds awfully similar to deaths from the flu every year, why didn’t everybody flip out and wrap their faces in panty liners before big scary covid came along and petrified the sheep? I’m old enough to remember all the terrifying “pandemics” that the media tried to scare everybody with every 5 or 12 years or so. Covid is the one that stuck.
That sounds awfully similar to deaths from the flu every year,
If it does, it’s only because you’re profoundly stupid. They aren’t the same. Millions died from Covid, 1.2million in the US alone - Stop acting like it’s just a few randos…
scare everyone? Scare everyone into what? How fucking weak are you that wearing a mask is too much? what a child
panty liner? jesus you really are a 5 year old.
Everyone knows you’re afraid when they read your impotent posturing here.
You’re trying so hard to get your Darwin award, and because you’re still here, I guess we’ll just add this latest one to the long list of failures in your life. You probably don’t admit it to anyone except yourself when it’s dark at night, but you know, as strongly as you know anything, that when you leave a room people laugh at you - lightly at first and then they just stop as they become overwhelmed with pity for the shell of a person you are.
Just yelling at the sky trying to prove you’re the bravest coward, and fooling nobody.
eloquent retort.

I suspect that she selected her midwifery clients based on their views about vaccines.
I wouldn’t be surprised if her patient’s parents knew she was pencil whipping these vaccinations, otherwise she’d be in jail or being sued by the families.
No jail time? That’s disappointing.

She paid $150k and promised not to deal with medication anymore.
Why would someone do this? Do they feel like a rebellious hero?
Or they got paid under the table for faked vaccine records by nutcase parents
They are in it for the politics and religious belief. Really, this is “You’re not my mom and you can’t make me”, but spoken by adults.
So much pain caused by this person. Forcing all the families to re-do everything. Stupid bitch; should be sitting in jail.
Apparently the families came to her to try and get fake vaccines.
Ah. Thank you for the additional information. It wasn’t clear from the headline and description, although I probably should have inferred that detail. As well, I did not read the article.
The families are the ones that sought her out. No sympathy for them. She was helping anti-vaxxers skip the law who previously used a religious exemption.
I now understand that. Thank you also for pointing that out. Yeah, they all suck.
Only $200 per incidence? That doesn’t seem very steep for giving with peoples’ lives
Big money. Like it should be way more than that Scoob.
I’ll say the same thing I just said in another post.
What a trash bag of a human being.
Wait until she needs a doctor and then send her to a clown doctor instead. So she knows how it feels.
Isn’t that a crime?
Edit:
while parents and legal guardians had sought out and paid Breen for her services, they weren’t the focus of the agency’s investigation.
Ok, that’s slightly different. I thought she was giving children fake vaccines without their knowledge. Still incredibly shitty, and it isn’t clear but it sounds like she’s still allowed to practice as a midwife, just not vaccinate people.
I’m amazed that vaccines are part of a midwife’s role.
they’re simply trying to increase the number of opportunities to vaccinate.
That makes a great deal of sense.
totally, and generally is effective until you run into fuckwits like this lady. We had awesome, science-based midwives to help our delivery and it went great. Some states like WA license both at the state level and require other education / certs.
Child Endangerment is also a crime
That’s exactly the type of person Long Island is full of
Just put a lemon on it
For some reason I read “midwife” as “wildlife” and was confused as shit.
