New York City-Style Vaccination Mandates for Children Under FiveWhat Kind of MISHEGOSS Is That?[MishegossYiddish idiom: Inappropriate, crazy, or bizarre actions or beliefs] Concerned healthcare consumer Jon Kopel provided me with links about the October 23, 2013 public hearing held in Long Island City, New York, regarding the proposed rule by New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and for which I thank him very much: The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is proposing that the Board of Health amend Articles 43 and 47 of the New York City Health Code to require that children under five (5) years of age receive an annual influenza vaccination and be immunized against pneumococcal disease. Pneumococcal disease immunization The Department is also requesting that the Board amend Health Code 43.17(a)(2) and 47.25(a)(2) to add pneumococcal disease to the list of required immunizations. This immunization, which is required by Public Health Law 2164(2), was inadvertently omitted from these sections. [1] The Influenza vaccination section in the hearing notice [1] dispenses apparent misleading information regarding flu vaccines/vaccinations, which undoubtedly represents parroted vaccinology spin. A. Epidemic Answers / Facts Statistics(Source) B. The Center for Managing Chronic Disease (Source) C. National Health Council / About Chronic Diseases (Source) Note that In 2007, approximately 8 percent of children ages 5 to 17 were reported by parents to have activity limitation due to at least one chronic illness or disability. Isnt that the age group that is targeted to be vaccinated to reach what is called herd immunity status by federal health agencies? Its now 2013. What are those figures for 6 years later and more vaccines mandated? D. UPI Health News: As of 2012, 90 percent or more of children about 3 years of age were vaccinated. [3] E. GAIA Health / Study Finds that the Average Child Is Now Chronically Sick (Source) To summarize what was the apparent mood of that Long Island City hearing, please listen to the presentation made by a concerned healthcare consumer: The well-informed gentlemans presentation ought to indicate to everyone just how concerned parents, grandparents, and citizens are and should be about vaccinating children with all sorts of neurotoxins, toxic chemicals, foreign DNA, etc., and probable unknown viruses that lurk in animal tissues used in vaccines, as proven over the years, and which I discuss in my new book Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines available on Amazon.com.
