"New York State Bar Association considers proposal to demand ‘mandatory’ COVID-19 vaccine"
"A committee of the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) wants the association to demand all United States residents be injected with a coronavirus vaccine. The new report from the association’s health law section dealing with the question of mandatory vaccinations was published on May 13.
'When the efficacy of a COVID-19 vaccine has been confirmed, enact legislation requiring vaccination of each person unless the person’s physician deems vaccination for his or her patient to be clinically inappropriate,' recommends the committee of NYSBA, an organization of over 24,000 lawyers whose stated goal is 'to shape the development of law.'...
While admitting that 'some Americans may push back on the COVID-19 vaccination for religious, philosophical or personal reasons,' the NYSBA committee nonetheless argues that 'for the sake of public health, mandatory vaccinations for COVID-19 should be required in the United States as soon as it is available.'
Pointing to a 1905 Supreme Court ruling which upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws, the report says forced vaccinations 'are supported by the authority of the state police power when the vaccinations are necessary to protect the health of the community.'
'Constitutional challenges under the religious freedom clause under the First Amendment and under the substantive due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment have failed, when the individual interests are not strong enough to outweigh the public benefit,' they added.
The report went on to summarize court rulings within the state of New York.
'Healthcare workers and parents of unvaccinated children have unsuccessfully challenged compulsory vaccination on administrative law grounds – questioning the NYS and NYC Department of Health’s authority in mandating flu and measles vaccinations, as well as challenging the regulations as arbitrary and capricious,' the lawyers wrote.
'The courts found the policies mandating that healthcare workers be vaccinated for influenza, and children vaccinated for measles during an outbreak, were not arbitrary and capricious and the regulations were promulgated under proper authority.'
The report argued that the alleged gravity of the coronavirus pandemic 'presents compelling justification for State legislatures and Congress to mandate a COVID-19 vaccination.'
Seemingly, the committee wants to prohibit religious exemption from being used as a means to forgo vaccination. In fact, the religious exemption for vaccinating children who go to school was repealed in the state of New York last year, as pointed out in the report itself.
State law in New York already requires 'every student entering or attending public, private or parochial school in New York State (NYS) to be immune to diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, varicella and meningococcal.'...
The report also pointed to several bills on the federal level that have been introduced more recently. Specifically, the 'Vaccinate All Children Act of 2019' would force states, if they want to receive federal funding, to 'require each student in public elementary or secondary school to be vaccinated,' while only allowing medical exemptions.
'The history of unsuccessful attempts to challenge mandatory vaccinations may reduce the extent of opposition,' the report stated...
Catholic leaders have emphasized that the Church objects on moral grounds to any vaccines developed from material derived from aborted babies."
