There's some policy changes that parents should really know about as it pertains to their schools, their student athletes at school. And we're seeing this here. Let's look first at Orange County Public Schools. This is their sports physicals page. And the sports physicals must be completed each year. So this is what they're seeing now on these pages. And this is what they're seeing from their schools. New, again, new in capital letters for the 2021, 2020 school year, electrocardiogram. ECG screenings are required for high school students wishing to participate in athletic programs. ECG screenings help identify athletes who are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest, which is the leading cause of death in athletes.

Oh my God. I mean, like what other, like again, folks, do you ever remember how, I mean, I got my physical every year for all the sports that I played. And EKG, whoever heard that children have heart issues prior to this vaccination. I mean, the timing is outrageous. I mean, they're obviously not saying it there, right? They're not telling you why. We just suddenly feel it's really important for all of our students to get an EKG

before we decide to run across a lawn, which could be detrimental to your health. Right. And so there's more to this story here. So let's go to Virginia. This is allegedly Jackson River Pediatrics. And this was on Facebook, this was posted here. It says student athletes, sports physicals are done primarily to make sure you are not at high risk for sudden cardiac death on playing fields. COVID vaccination affects

your risks. Notice that's highlighted in yellow. In response to worldwide experience in vaccine adverse event monitoring, we are adopting a more precautionary sports physical sign-off policy. And this is also highlighted in yellow. If you have received doses of any COVID shot, we will not be able to clear you to compete in sports without performing lab work and possibly an echocardiogram to rule out potential heart damage. That is outrageous. I mean, it's almost hard to believe somebody would post that. I mean, it's phenomenal.

If we're reaching that place where at least there, they're admitting it, right? Orange County is not. Here they're saying, we know why we are going to check the heart on your athlete, and we're really going to be focused on those that received the vaccine. Welcome to the new normal. Well, you have to wonder if these doctors, officers offices are going to be liable if something does happen and then the parents come back and say, why didn't you do these ECGs on my child if you knew these were risks from the vaccine?

So it's interesting to see individual doctor's offices stepping up. But something also just happened in Florida. This is the headline coming out of Florida. Florida recommends healthy kids do not get COVID-19 vaccines. This is, again, Dr. Joseph Ladoppo, the Florida insurgentered General. He says the Florida Department of Health is going to be the COVID-19 vaccines. the first state to officially recommend against the COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children, Lodopla said shortly before the roundtable ended. He and Governor DeSantis did a roundtable.

And it's interesting, right after that, White House Press Secretary Jen Saki was asked about it. Listen to this. And then last, Florida Survement in general says that healthy children shouldn't get the COVID vaccine. Is that a good policy? Absolutely not. Let me just note that we know the science. We know. We know the data and what works and what is the most, what the most effective steps are in protecting people of a range of ages from hospitalization and even death. The FDA and CDC have already weighed in on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines for those five and older. The

recommendations are vetted transparently through a process with a purpose so that parents can have confidence after consulting with their pediatricians or doctors if they would like about the safety. But we also know through the data that unvaccinated teenagers are three times as likely to be hospitalized if they get COVID than vaccinated teenagers. So it's deeply disturbing that there are politicians peddling conspiracy theories out there and casting doubt on vaccinations when it is our best tool against the virus and the best tool to prevent even teenagers from being hospitalized. And we didn't spend $1 billion on propaganda. pushing this product to walk away now. Wait a minute. Did I just say that with my outside voice?

And the majority is so we're talking about a harm benefit analysis here and unfortunately as we've covered so much on this show, the majority of the studies are unable to find healthy children who have died of COVID. They're unable to confirm that. And the small minority of children who have died of COVID have several comorbidity. So this is this is really a science-based call by Dr. Lodapo in Florida there. I think. the history will shine on him as it looks back at this and there'll be so much shame upon this administration upon our health agencies and upon every doctor that pushed it and those that are even turning around now and saying after I recommended it now we're actually recommended

it now we're actually recommended an EKG because we might have hurt your heart
