Victory in New York, All new vaccine mandates squashed

It's official, New York Assembly Bill A 10942, the " worst vaccine

bill ever " and the mandatory meningococcal vaccine bill it morphed

into late in the session are dead. And they were killed by parents

who just aren't going to let pharma kick them around anymore.

Another vaccine bill that would have allowed minors to get vaccines

for sexually-transmitted diseases without parents permission or

knowledge went down to an ignominious defeat when the Assembly Health

committee refused to even consider it.

This represents the fourth defeat in a row, with no wins, for the

vaccine industry in New York, last year an mandatory HPV bill was killed.

As usual with most vaccine bills in New York, they were submitted

late in the session which limits the time that the opposition has to

make arguments against a proposal. The original A 10942 was submitted

at the request of the Health Department and would have caused a

sweeping restructuring of NY vaccine policy; all CDC recommended

vaccines would have become mandatory for all children, including

those too young to enter school, and all new CDC recommended vaccines

would automatically become mandatory.

A 10942 was greeted by a rally of hundreds of parents from all around

the state, many were parent of vaccine-injured children, others

though have healthy children and would like to see them stay healthy.

A broad cross section of organizations were involved, autism

organization, holistic health groups, libertarians, and many others

came together for the first time in joint political action.

Legisltive aides report a flood of phone calls, faxes, letters and

emails in opposition.

The legislature responded with scaling the bill back to require the

menigoccocal shot for seventh graders. This new version was

introduced last Friday and on Monday there were new demonstrations by

parents both in Albany and in front of the Long Island office of

State Senator Kemp Hannon who introduced the meningitis legislation.

The bill died today with the adjournment of the legislature.

Organizers of the successful campaign will be holding meetings and

conferences to make sure that in the next session of the legislature

that the philosophical exemption bills sponsored by State Senator

Padavan and Assemblymember Mark Alessi are passed. And in a new

twist on vaccines rights, New Yorkers will be working to introduce

legislation that will drop vaccines from the mandatory list. The

first target will be hepatitis b, a shot given to newborns ostensibly

to prevent a sexually transmitted disease.
