Good News on New York's Bad, Bad Bill


New York State Assembly Bill 10942 is among the worst pro-vaccine bills yet. If passed it will make ALL vaccines recommended by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) MANDATORY for every child and health care worker in New York State. True, there is a religious exemption for students but not for health care workers or others. And the State can administer vaccines supposedly against sexually transmitted diseases to minors without parental notification or permission.
The ACIP never met a vaccine it did not like, including for example:
The Rotovirus vaccine which has been found to cause epilepsy, pneumonia and death in children but was approved by the FDA anyway
The HPV vaccine which acts against 4 HPV strains NOT associated with cervical cancer and which increases the chances of a vaccinated woman coming down with cervical cancer by as much as 400% (!) according to the FDA's own pre-approval documents (!)
The same mercury-containing flu vaccine which the CDC said did not confer protection on the majority of people receiving it while they also reccomended that children, adults and the elderly get this shot anyway (!)
