New York Health Committee Passes Five Terrible Vaccine Bills All in One Day
The main driver of this push appears to be anti-RFK politics in Albany, NY
As election season starts to come into focus we see Albany Democrats leaning into extremely partisan politics when it comes to vaccine policy. The NY State Assembly Health Committee just passed 5 horrible vaccine bills, including one to mandate the Hep-B shot to attend college.
Do these politicians really think that’s what NY voters want?
No, I don’t believe that for a second. This is simply anti-RFK partisan politics posing as public health policy. Perhaps it is also equivalent to some high-fives in the hallway to Big Pharma lobbyists when no one is looking, too. But the main driver here is to stick a thumb in the eye of RFK and, thus, Trump.
The bill that is most concerning detailed below is “Governor Hochul’s Vaccine Power Grab. Many organizations have been putting out action alerts targeting the defeat of this bill, including Children’s Health Defense:
Stop Gov. Hochul’s Power Grab Over NY Recommended Vaccine Schedule
On March 26, two bills were introduced into the New York legislature, A10711 and S9598, both of which would work against the urgently needed reforms being put in place by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These federal reforms are aimed at protecting the rights of parents in making vaccination decisions for their children after being ful…

From our friends at Autism Action Network
The New York State Assembly Health Committee under the leadership of Chair Amy Paulin was very busy yesterday passing five awful vaccine-related bills. Some bills were less than a week old, others had been hanging around for years with no action. All are direct threats to our bodily integrity, medical privacy, health, safety and Constitutional rights.
We are going into the last 6 weeks (we hope) of the legislative session when almost all the voting on bills is done in Albany. We can stop these bills, but it will take intense effort by thousands of committed people.

A10711/S9895, Gov. Hochul’s Vaccine Power Grab
This bill gives control over the New York vaccine schedule, recommendations and policy to the Governor and her appointed Commissioner of Health. The vaccines selected under A10711/S9598 will not have to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices, or by any other federal agency. The bill allows the governor to make these decisions solely on her own authority. The bill will give complete control over the vaccine schedule for “newborns” to the Governor and her appointees with no oversight from the legislature, federal agencies, or anybody else. The Governor becomes the vaccine dictator of New York.

A2078/S5724 Mandatory hepatitis b shots for college
This bill would require hepatitis b shots to attend college in New York. Doesn’t matter if you are an online student or live out of state or even the US. Hepatitis b is transmitted via sex or sharing needles not sitting next to someone in economics class. The stupidest thing about this bill is that it would remain illegal to exclude a person from college who has an active case of hepatitis but a healthy person who did not get the shot could be denied an education.

A765/S9893, The RFKJR Act, The mandatory adult vaccine database bill
This bill would allow information to be entered into the state vaccine database without the need to get permission from the person the information is about. They will be able to record whether someone received, or did not receive, a vaccine, and use that information for enforcement actions. This is one more step towards a completely mandatory adult vaccine database. The database is a surveillance and enforcement tool to give the state the information they need to enforce vaccine mandates, passports and other coercion and enforcement procedures.
This visible has been passed by the Health Committee and the Assembly before, but up till now has not made progress in the Senate.

A9140/S9604, Liability immunity for vaccines NOT approved by the Federal Government
If Hochul is going to complete New York’s secession from the federal health agencies and mandate vaccines in New York not approved by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization practices, New York will need to provide immunity. A9140/S9604 provides immunity to workers who administer vaccines but not to the vaccine manufacturers. We expect another bill will arrive soon to protect the vaccine producers.

A3254a, Summer camp campers must get all mandates vaccines
Requires minor campers at summer camps to be current with the vaccine schedule required for school. This is a one-house bill sponsored by Asm. Jeffrey Dinowitz, meaning there is no companion bill in the Senate, and it cannot become law until an identical Senate bill appears.
All four bills have been forwarded to the Rules Committee, which decides which bill go to the floor for a vote.
On it
Policies vary so much from state to state that people need to consider moving to states that better match their beliefs. Those that prefer a nanny state with authoritarian policies will attract a certain group of people. Those that prefer a more hands off approach will attract others. Washington, DC can set policy, but ultimately the states can do whatever they want (for better or worse). Worse in the case of New York State.
