Parents are still without answers nearly a week after a gastrointestinal illness outbreak affected more than 100 children at an elementary school in Las Vegas, resulting in teachers lining the affected students up outside the facility as they repeatedly vomited.
Officials with the Clark County School District (CCSD) and Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) have not said what caused the incident, which took place on Jan. 27, as many of the 130 affected students experienced "projectile vomiting" outside Wayne N. Tanaka Elementary School, according to 8 News Now.
According to the report, a parent said the students were offered trashcans to direct their expelled contents. "A teacher said it was 'like Armageddon.' Our daughter said there were trash cans lined up and kids just throwing up everywhere," Danielle Farrow, a mother of one student, told 8 News Now.
"Gastrointestinal viruses are common and easily spread from person to person. Regular and appropriate handwashing is one of the most effective prevention methods for reducing the spread of gastrointestinal illness and other illnesses."
"People who are ill, or caring for someone who is ill, should wash their hands carefully with soap and water before, during, and after preparing food. Sick people should not prepare food or care for others," it added.

130 kids don't all start vomiting at the same time from a virus.

Maybe the sick kids developed compromised immune systems from the vaccine. If that were the case, and the local officials discussed the situation via a Zoom call, it would be the vulnerable vaccinated Vegas vomiting victims videoconference.

When I was a kid one kid threw up and then I threw up and then the whole class started throwing up
130 kids don't all start vomiting at the same time from a virus. Sounds like the school is buying time to try and come up with a cover story to prevent the 130 lawsuits it may be facing.
