Lawsuit against NYC Vaccination Deception Order Dismissed, States Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)

Conscience and Constitution Violated by Vaccination Deception in New York: Opposition from the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)

TUCSON, Ariz. — Brooklyn Judge Lawrence Knipel has dismissed a lawsuit ([opposing vaccination deception in] C.F. v. NYC Health Commissioner) brought by five mothers against Mayor Bill de Blasio’s emergency order requiring all persons living within four ZIP code areas to immediately receive MMR vaccine or prove immunity.

Judge Knipel stated that “a fireman need not obtain the informed consent of the owner before extinguishing a house fire,” and that “vaccination is known to extinguish the fire of contagion.”

Before the hearing, the criminal penalties—up to 6 months’ imprisonment—and the implied threat of forced vaccination had been removed, according to attorney Mary Holland of New York University school of law. Persons can be civilly fined $1,000 each for noncompliance, even if they have a religious exemption. The fine, according to Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot, M.D., is “to enlist as many people as possible spreading the message that these vaccines are safe and effective.”

Mayor De Blasio’s order is a big step beyond vaccine mandates for school, states Jane M. Orient, M.D., executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). It applies to adults also, who need not have or have been exposed to measles, but simply live in a politically designated area. The fines are huge, compared with the $5 penalty (about $125 in today’s dollars) imposed for failure to receive smallpox vaccine in 1905, the precedent for allowing states to override the need for informed consent.

“In effect, people are being forced to pay what may be for them an extremely burdensome fine to exercise their individual liberty to refuse a medical treatment or to practice their religion,” she stated. “The fines are punitive, not educational, and they have nothing to do with vaccine safety or effectiveness.”

“The very fact that adults are getting measles shows that the Merck MMR vaccine is ineffective at conferring lasting protection,” Dr. Orient added.

“Moreover, measles is not remotely comparable to smallpox in lethality. There has been, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one death in the U.S. from measles in the past decade, in 2015. [The CDC promotes the vaccination deception as a Big Pharma-‘captured agency.’]

The consequences for liberty are dire, AAPS warns, if government can track you down in your home and punish you, simply for withholding consent to be injected with a medical product that might harm you or violate your conscience. The first violation of conscience or patient autonomy is not likely to be the last.
