School Based Health Clinics are coming "for your children"
The truth is SBHCs are already here. School-based health clinics have been around for decades, but the landscape of this system is changing rapidly and we need to pay attention.
Ostensibly, SBHC’s are being brought in to provide health care to underserved communities, but it’s no longer possible to simply accept the stated purpose of any government intervention without first examining how the intervention could be abused to serve other agendas.
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.” - Ronald Reagan
SBHCs are different from traditional school nurses. This is not simply first-aid and addressing illnesses and accidents that come up at school. SBHCs are essentially designed to provide pediatric medicine - diagnosing, treating and offering preventative and ongoing care - during school hours when parents are separated from their children.
From the American Academy of Pediatrics:
The range of services provided by SBHCs is dependent on the sponsors’ resources as well as the needs of the community. At the minimum, SBHCs provide health care services, which may include health maintenance supervision or well-child care, immunizations, and/or laboratory services. Some SBHCs may provide a wider range of preventive and psychosocial services, including hearing and vision screening, vision services (eg, provision of corrective lenses), reproductive health services, mental health services, social services, health education, and oral health services. Mental health services may include screening, counseling, and substance use disorder services.
While there is merit to providing health services to the underserved, a preoccupation with removing “barriers to care” eclipses issues regarding informed consent, parental consent, surveillance, patient privacy and even the necessity/appropriateness of some of the services that are offered to children.
SBHCs increase adolescent use of health care. Many teenagers, especially male teenagers, are reluctant to seek health care in a traditional medical setting because of cost, confidentiality concerns, and parental involvement.18–20 By providing convenient and confidential care in a familiar setting with supportive staff, SBHCs reduce barriers to care for adolescents, particularly in the areas of sexual and reproductive health, substance use, and mental health issues.21–26 In one study by Stone et al27 in the San Francisco school district, SBHC users reported a caring relationship with program staff. In another study by Allison et al28 in the Denver Public Schools area, adolescent SBHC users were more likely to have received a health maintenance visit, more likely to have received vaccines, and less likely to have used emergency care than other users. SBHC users were also less likely than other users to be insured. (emphasis mine)
From the CDC:
School health programs can provide critical information about and access to vaccinations. School health providers might also be able to leverage community partners and relationships with families to increase vaccination coverage.
Good Morning CHD does an excellent job of breaking down some of the issues around SBHC’s, including threats to parental consent and privacy, vaccine registries, legislation, and ways to advocate here.
Looking for a Loophole (Around Parents)
When it comes to the mass vaccination and indoctrination of children, parental consent is a major obstacle.
A growing mistrust of vaccines has “baffled" the medical establishment in much the same way that SIDS, autism, and the steep rise in sudden deaths and cardiac events has baffled them. Conclusion-first “science” dictates that all vaccines are miraculously safe and effective, therefore any reluctance to subject children to a growing list of shots that incorporate increasingly new biotechnology must be due to misinformed or negligent parents.
Questions of safety and efficacy are therefore addressed with persuasive messaging campaigns. Public health relies not on well-designed clinical trials that demonstrate the safety and efficacy of medical interventions, but instead on behavioral science designed to induce compliance.
But when these strategies fail to convince parents, the medical cartel has set about creating loopholes around parental consent as they seek to influence children directly.
School-Based Health Alliance recommends a single parental consent form that essentially gives blanket permission for children to receive whatever “physical and behavioral health services” health care providers deem “reasonably necessary or advisable”.
The NYS HPV Vaccination Guide for School-Based Health Centers recommends using a “presumptive approach” to vaccination and includes provisions for “minor consent.”
The authors concluded that the inability of minors to provide self-consent is a likely barrier to HPV vaccination. To improve HPV vaccination rates, the NYS Department of Health added a new section to the health regulations (10 NYCRR §23.4)[5] to permit health-care providers to administer the HPV vaccine to sexually active minors during confidential sexual and reproductive health care visits without consent of the parent or guardian. This provision in the Public Health Law also prohibits the release of medical or billing records by a healthcare provider to a parent/guardian that may be generated from a minor consenting to the HPV vaccine. Young people are often afraid of parents discovering their use of sexual health services. Although it is best to obtain parental consent for vaccination administration, when necessary to allow self-consent, all efforts should be pursued by the SBHC to protect the minor’s confidentiality. (emphasis mine)
In other words, parents may never know about some of the services their children receive at school. This is particularly dangerous given the prevalence of serious adverse events following the HPV and other vaccines.
Ideological Opportunistic Infections in Schools
Government agencies and the medical establishment have gone from paternalistic to predatory, resorting to social engineering tactics to indoctrinate, medicate and vaccinate young people. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable when it comes impulsive and risky decision-making. Their tendency to succumb to social pressures and instant gratification is well documented. These vulnerabilities are being weaponized as efforts to increase vaccination rates are being integrated into our education system.
Revisiting History
The indoctrination of youth isn’t new. In fact similar tactics were well-documented in both Nazi Germany…
Schools played an important role in spreading Nazi ideas to German youth. While censors removed some books from the classroom, German educators introduced new textbooks that taught students love for Hitler, obedience to state authority, militarism, racism, and antisemitism. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/indoctrinating-youth
and Mao’s China.
During the communist reign of Mao Zedong who achieved a personality cult of religious proportions, education in China was seriously disrupted… Intellectuals, educators, teachers and even artists and musicians were therefore subjected to periodic “thought reform campaigns” to ensure that they adhered to Mao’s state doctrine.
At this time children, especially those from rural and peasant backgrounds, were taught a highly politicized curriculum with the objective of ensuring that the younger generation would continue the revolutionary zeal that Mao considered necessary to stop the country returning to capitalism. Children were encouraged to report to the authorities anything said by their teachers, parents or contemporaries that was considered in any way critical of Mao or government policy.
From Catherine A. Epstein’s book, Nazi Germany: Confronting the Myths:
The Nazis also empowered youth so as to undermine traditional sources of authority. The Nazi’s manipulated teenagers natural tendency to rebellion so as to foster intergenerational tensions. Some Hitler Youth members even denounced their non-Nazi parents. The Hitler Youth also removed children from parental influence by scheduling numerous time-consuming activities. (emphasis mine)
While the ideological script may now be different, the playbook is the same.
Teachers and health care practitioners are provided talking points and scripts to gain both trust and compliance.
And it’s not just vaccines. Schools are the perfect setting for a variety of opportunistic ideological infections.
If you’re a parent, talk to your child about vaccines and other medical interventions that may be introduced at school. Now more than ever, children need strong roots. And those roots should be nourished at home. Help kids develop tools to advocate for themselves. Read consent forms carefully and know your rights.
If you have already confronted issues with school-based health care, consider sharing your experiences with Stand for Health Freedom.
Sending love to the parents. The struggle is real, but we’re in this together.
This is so alarming! I had no idea this was a ‘thing’. I hope our country course corrects soon. 🙏🏻
Ann, Thanks for continuing to sound the alarm about important issues we may be unaware of. The public school system is incapable of reform (increasingly private schools are following along.) The future of freedom depends, in part, upon enough families willing to sacrifice income in order to homeschool. I can say from experience, the choice will never be regretted for even a second. For those looking to consider this choice, this is a great book to begin with: https://amzn.to/46jN7GB
