In the United States, a midwife fined 1.4 million reais for applying homeopathy to 1,500 children instead of vaccines

The country’s Department of Health found that the midwife had falsified 12,500 vaccine records since 2019

A midwife in New York, United States, was fined $300,000 (R$1.4 million) after police found she had administered homeopathy to 1.5 thousand children instead of the vaccine. Immunizers were intended to control diseases such as hepatitis, measles, and polio.

In a statement released on Wednesday the 17th, the US Department of Health points out that investigations revealed that midwife Jeanette Breen falsified approximately 12,500 vaccine records in the New York Immunization Information System since 2019.

The homeopathic pills were administered orally and delivered by a foreign supplier, NBC News reported. The pills are not approved by Food and drug administration or by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as an immunizing agent.

According to a spokesperson for the New York Department of Health, parents and guardians of children who were “falsely” immunized allegedly “sought and paid Breen” for the service, the agency points out.

Jeanette’s lawyer, David Ekew, says the defendant “has already paid the fine” and intends to cooperate fully with the police. “It’s a closed chapter in her life,” the defender said.

The US health agency also warns that children who have received fake “vaccines” are between the ages of 4 and 18. Excluding Covid-10, the documents indicated alleged vaccinations against tetanus, hepatitis B, chickenpox and measles, among others.
