"Midwife Fined for Giving Kids Pellets Instead of Vaccines"

A New York midwife has been fined $300,000 for giving homeopathic pellets to 1,500 children instead of required vaccinations, entering false vaccine records into the state's system. The pellets were not approved by the FDA or CDC, and the affected children's immunization records have been voided. The midwife has paid $150,000 of her fine, with the rest suspended pending compliance with state laws. The New York State Association of Licensed Midwives denounced the fraud, while a medical ethics expert called for the midwife to lose her license.
