- 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 Richard 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 children in New York up to age 18 would be required
to get annual flu shots.
-
-
- * All girls in New York would be required to get a human
papilloma virus shot.
-
-
- * 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 David Paterson
and let his staff know, politely, that this is a horrible law.
