Court says NO to pre-K flu vax mandate

Breaking news… 12/16/15… 3:30 pm.

The City of New York is enjoined from enforcing the flu shot mandate for day care and preschool. Read the order and decision. And read this commentary by litigator and vaccine injury expert Robert J. Krakow, Esq. explaining what this decision means.

Legislature can’t be overruled by exec order

The attorney for the Plaintiffs-Petitioners, “The real disease here to be concerned about is the spread of unchecked executive power and the illiberalism that such excesses has wrought on mankind through history.”

NYC didn’t learn its lesson (remember the 2010 sugared soda ban?), once again attempting to usurp legislative authority through unilateral executive action. Judge Manuel J. Mendez made it clear that the legislature is where the political expression of the people lies.

“This is a welcome judicial affirmation of the importance of a genuine political process to determine the extent to which the state should be involved in personal health decisions,” said Robert J. Krakow, Esq.

It’s time for organized legal fundraising

Parents in other jurisdictions should take heed and pursue organized legal fundraising. Nearly 200 lawyers have signed on in opposition to California SB 277. When SB 277 was signed into law on 6/30/15, California joined Mississippi and West Virginia in eliminating all parent-directed exemptions. If you are interested in helping to fundraise or staff a legal team, please contact Health Freedom Action.

It is highly likely that New York City will appeal. Stay tuned.
