Before they make have taken more precautions

I think the kind of people who would take homeopathic "vaccines" aren't the kind of people who would have taken precautions anyway, not unless forced to. You could maybe argue that they were endangering children by sending them to school, but really the danger would have been with the non-vaccinated child.

The only really significant new risk would be if a non-vaccinated homeopathic child was around a child who legitimately could not be vaccinated, but that's dependent on specific circumstances.

I didn't make an assumption based on the headline, I made the assumption based on the statement at the end of the article, which I quoted in another comment.

Erin Clary, a health department spokesperson, said Thursday that while parents and legal guardians had sought out and paid Breen for her services, they weren’t the focus of the agency’s investigation.

It's still maybe an assumption - perhaps there were people who thought they were getting real vaccines, not a homeopathic alternative - but it's what the health department said.

I'm guessing you read that other comment after making this one, as you've since replied to that comment thread. So no worries.

Yes they do have to fund their defense to begin with, however there has to be some balance struck. Until the court proceedings are concluded it isn't known which side is in the right.

I think most countries' public funding for legal representation is limited to criminal matters, and even then you have to qualify (eg have a very low income or be unemployed). With civil matters, it's up to you to find a lawyer you can afford, or one who will take it on pro bono.

If the defendent is obviously in the right, then it should be more likely that they can find a lawyer who will work pro bono.

I think she might actually be dumb enough to consent.

Any lemmy instances included in this breach?

Edit: Doesn't appear to be the case. At least, when I checked mine they were fine.

This would fail any proper challenge for the racial element.

The shitty thing about US law is that there is minimal protection against sexual discrimination, at least outside of employment matters.

No surprise, Trump famously said he doesn't hire people who are smarter than him.

"I'm sorry for saying the thing, but I'm going to say it again, twice."

Sorry, not sorry.

It's a bigger problem in the States than elsewhere. In the US, awarding legal costs is the exception, not the norm, so someone with a lot of money and access to lawyers can basically intimidate a defendent into avoiding court. In the rest of the world, courts are much more likely to award costs to a defendent who has done nothing wrong - if you file a frivilous lawsuit and lose, you'll probably have to pay the costs of the person you tried to sue.

This guy's in Germany, so I think he'd be alright if he clearly won. The issue, however, is that courts aren't really equipped for handling highly technical cases and often get things wrong.

The thing is, what most people aren't aware of is the amount of times the Streisand effect doesn't happen.

Apparently the families came to her to try and get fake vaccines.
