Some of the parents formerly obtained childhood vaccines for their children and have since \u201cformed sincere religious objections to vaccinations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first lawsuit of its kind. Joshua Mazer, the father of a 16-year-old daughter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberglaw.com\/public\/desktop\/document\/MAZERvDCDEPARTMENTOFHEALTHetalDocketNo121cv01782DDCJul022021Court?1626268764\">also filed a lawsuit July 2<\/a> against Bowser in her capacity as D.C. mayor. Mazer and his daughter reside in Maryland but his daughter traveled to the MedStar Georgetown Pediatrics without her parents and requested a vaccine, according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>The father cited both medical and religious reasons for why he objected to his daughter receiving the vaccine, asserting that the Minor Consent Act \u201ccreates an entire structure by which the health care provider, insurance company, school, and health department all engage in an elaborate and deceitful scheme, including lying to the parents, to hide from those parents the fact that their child was vaccinated without parental notification, control, or consent, and all without any finding that a parent is unfit.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7236998\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"38\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7236998\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7236998 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GettyImages-1323072535-scaled-1.jpg\" alt srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GettyImages-1323072535-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn01.dailycaller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GettyImages-1323072535-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GettyImages-1323072535-620x414-1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GettyImages-1323072535-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GettyImages-1323072535-1536x1024-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GettyImages-1323072535-2048x1366-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7236998\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 JUNE 11: Washington DC Mayor Murial Bowser participates in a virtual meeting with Director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci at the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus on June 11, 2021 in Washington, DC.

A pediatric allergy and immunology specialist wrote a special exemption for Mazer\u2019s daughter from receiving more doses of the pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus vaccines, according to the lawsuit, which noted that Mazer\u2019s daughter \u201cdid not understand that her previous reaction was an allergic reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Mazer\u2019s daughter went to MedStar Georgetown Pediatrics to obtain the vaccine, she presented her mother\u2019s insurance card, gave her date of birth, told the hospital that her parents were not with her, and \u201cexplained that she wanted to attend a summer camp and needed to receive a vaccine to do same and that her parents would not consent to her receiving this vaccine,\u201d according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Nneka Holder was told that Mazer\u2019s daughter was there without her parents\u2019 knowledge or consent to get the vaccine, the lawsuit said, and Holder and the nurses reportedly congratulated the 16-year-old for \u201csneaking behind her parents back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The doctor and nurses also convinced Mazer\u2019s daughter to get the vaccine products Gardasil and MenACWY, the lawsuit said. Holder reportedly encouraged the 16-year-old to return for a further Gardasil booster and \u201ccoached\u201d her on \u201clying in relation to receiving the shots.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/11\/18\/dc-mayor-muriel-bowser-pro-life-arrest-black-preborn-lives-matter\/\">(RELATED: DC Mayor Sued Over Arrest Of Advocates Who Wrote Pro-Life Messages On Sidewalk)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter an hour and a half of complexity surrounding getting the shots without alerting her parents, the vaccines were finally brought into J.D.\u2019s treating room,\u201d the lawsuit said. \u201cJ.D. became nervous upon seeing the shots and voiced that she wanted to leave without getting the shots. At that point, the doctor and nurse positioned themselves in the room such that she felt trapped. After further dialogue and repeating that she no longer wanted the shots, J.D. was able to leave without getting the shots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring her lengthy visit, J.D. was told the vaccines are safe, nothing more,\u201d the lawsuit continued. \u201cShe was not provided a VIS (a vaccine information statement) nor any other written information about these products. At no time did anyone ask J.D. whether, for example, she had severe pain or swelling after a previous dose of any vaccine, nor any of the other medical conditions listed on the VIS that parents are told to inform their health care providers about before their child is vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit also emphasized that Holder and the nurses did not try to obtain information from Mazer\u2019s daughter about her previous reactions to vaccines \u201cdespite the fact that this was the first time they had ever met her and had no information about her medical history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MedStar Georgetown did not respond to requests for comment from the DCNF.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
