New York State Issues Order for Forced Seasonal Flu Shots, H1N1 Next
Posted Sep 21 2009 12:00am
In an unprecedented power grab, Richard Daines, the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health has issued an order requiring all healthcare workers to get the seasonal flu shot by November 30 or face termination. Daines justifies this seizure of rights by making the bogus claim that there is a seasonal flu emergency in New York. In another unprecedented move, unlike all other vaccine mandates under New York law, no exemptions will be allowed for religious reasons.
We are told by Albany insiders that if this move is successful in New York it will be tried in other states. The state government has announced that forced H1N1 shots are next.
