Florida Pediatricians Refusing To See Unvaccinated Kids

Fact checked

Some parents in Jacksonville Florida have been left shocked after being turned away from their local pediatric offices for refusing to vaccinate their kids.

The decision not to vaccinate their children has become more common locally, but it seems that the doctors want to see all children injected.

“We want everyone vaccinated and caught up with the CDC schedule by age of 2,” said Dr. Thomas Connolly, a pediatrician with the Carithers Pediatric Group.

Could it be because they will make more money?

A $400 bonus per vaccinated patient is offered to providers who fully vaccinate least 63 percent of the children in their practice by the age two.

So health and safety come second to the lure of more money.

First Coast News reports:

First Coast News compared numbers from the 2002-2003 school year to the 2016-1017 school year for Clay, Duval and St. Johns’ public schools. The number of religious exemptions for kindergarten students went up seven times in Clay County, 17 times for Duval County and 25 times for St. Johns County. However, data also shows that 93 percent to 96 percent of students have all the vaccinations required to start school.

Connolly said he strongly encourages all of his patients to get vaccinated.

“It’s nothing personal against you as a person, I respect your decision that is your decision, but my medical decision and my background and my belief is I want the child vaccinated to maximize their defense,” Connolly said.

He’s not the only practice in Jacksonville strictly enforcing the guidelines. Rainbow Pediatrics also recently changed their vaccine policy.

“My oldest son is 13 and just recently, I took them into the same pediatrician’s office and they informed me at the end of the visit that they would no longer see my children because I don’t vaccinate them,” said Lauren McGuinnes, a mother of four. She said she stopped vaccinating her kids several years ago, but what shocked when Rainbow Pediatrics refused to continue providing care for them.

“Parents are kind of being bullied to vaccinate,” she said.

We reached out Rainbow Pediatrics for comment and they sent us a statement saying that their vaccine policy changed at the start of 2017. It states the practice no longer accepts new patients who “refuse to vaccinate.”

“We feel strongly that vaccinating children is absolutely the right thing to do for infants, children and young adults,” said Prasanthi Reddy.

McGuinnes said she doesn’t agree.

“I don’t agree with injecting my children with the virus that I’m trying to protect them from,” she said.

Connolly said turning patients away is not an easy decision, but one that he feels is necessary to protect other children from serious illnesses.

  1. Probably elsewhere you have articles saying holistic medicine is better anyway, so you could see it as a blessing in disguise. From your perspective anyway.

  2. “is necessary to protect other children from serious illnesses.”

    So, un-vaxxed kids are a threat to vaxxed kids.

    There it is, plain as day.

    VAXXING DOESN’T WORK, OR HOW COULD UN-VAXXED KIDS BE A THREAT?

    Couple that with the desperate lengths exerted to hide the Vaccine Injury Court from the public and what sane parent would ever submit their kids to the horrors of vaxxing?

    • $3.6 billion in 2017 alone in vaccine injury payouts so far. If that doesn’t convince anybody that there is a very real and serious risk involved, check out the documentary “Vaxxed” and/or the related individual case interviews on YouTube.

  3. So, if you remove all the patients who refuse vaccination from your roster then 100% of your patients will meet the CDC requirements. Cash payout, please! Neat, huh?

  4. Every one of these doctors are paid murderers ,all of us know once the children are vaccinated ,it damages their immune system so bad they are sick for the rest of their lives.Makes sense ,these pigs are in a job for life wake up parents

  5. If vacc. Worked the reported immunity would be contageous and the disease would die out, instead any immunity is short lived and the disease grows stronger.

  6. Well, well, well. Arrogance got the best of them. Parents will be forced to see naturopaths or other health care providers with diagnostic rights. That will be a good thing as those kids will have undamaged brains when they become adults. They’ll eat right and stop drinking flouridated water and when their parents get cancer, will treat them without chemo
