Act Now to Stop Worst Vaccine Bill Ever in NY

[Guest guest]

Act now to stop the worst vaccine law ever proposed in New York since the

invention of the mandatory schedule. Assembly Bill 10942 would make all vaccines

recommended by the CDC mandatory for all children to attend school and, and for

the first time vaccines would become mandatory for infants and toddlers.

The bill was introduced in Rules Committee at the request of Daines,

the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health. The Rules Committee

in the personal committee of the Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan).

A-CHAMP is calling for rejection of this bill and is demanding the passage of

A5468/S3031, a bill that would give individuals a right to a philosophical

exemption from vaccine mandates. This is no time to transfer vaccine decisions

away from individuals and elected officials answerable to the voters and give it

to obscure bureaucrats with financial ties to the vaccine industry.

Here are a few features of the proposed bill:

Our elected New York representatives would no longer determine the mandatory

schedule of vaccines to attend school; decisions made by the federal Advisory

Committee on Immunization Practices would automatically become mandatory.

All children, infants and toddlers included, in New York would be required to

get all vaccines recommended by the ACIP according to the ACIP schedule

All junior high school children and college students would be required to get

meningococcal shots.

Doctors would be required to issue certificates for every shot given and

parents would be required to maintain the records and provide them to school and

other authorities.

The rules committee claims that the new laws would have no fiscal impact on

the state despite the necessity of the state to spend tens of millions on

purchasing new vaccines, a vast increase in mandatory record keeping and

enforcement for schools, and a huge increase that could be expected in the

number of cases of neurological damage, Guillian Barré syndrome and other

vaccine-caused injuries.

We only have a few weeks to defeat this bill. Let your Assemblymember and

State Senator know immediately that a vote for this bill guarantees that you

will do everything you can to get them un-elected. In addition to emailing and

calling your local representatives, please call Speaker Sheldon Silver and let

his staff know, politely, that this is a disastrous idea. While you are at it

please call Governor Paterson and let his staff know, politely, that this

is a horrible law.
