NY Doctor Accused of Faking Son's Vaccine Records
11 Dec
Summary
- Doctor Shareen Ismail charged with tampering with public records.
- Ismail allegedly faked son's vaccine records for school enrollment.
- Investigators found forged vaccine records from two different clinics.
A New York doctor, Shareen Ismail, has been criminally charged for allegedly tampering with public records by faking her son's vaccination documentation. The 49-year-old physician, who operates the Alexandre Centre for Children's Health, voluntarily surrendered to authorities on December 3. Her attorney has stated that Ismail denies the charges and maintains her innocence throughout the process.
The investigation began after a pediatrics office reported inconsistencies in the child's submitted vaccination records to Tecumseh Elementary School. Further inquiry revealed alleged forgeries from two distinct medical facilities, neither of which appeared to have administered the routine vaccines as claimed. These findings have led to the current charges against Dr. Ismail.
This case emerges amid a backdrop of increasing vaccine skepticism and evolving mandates. Ismail had previously sued the New York State Department of Health over being placed on a "School Vaccination Fraud Awareness" list. While that lawsuit has been dismissed, the criminal matter is proceeding, with Ismail awaiting possible grand jury action.
