Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I just returned from a spirited rally in Albany to protest the mandate of the NYS Health Commissioner that all Health Care providers must receive the H1N1 vaccine by November 30 in order to maintain their employment in NYS hospitals. We heard vigorous challenges to the State's assumptions in light of the preponderance of scientific evidence that raises serious doubts about the proposed vaccine. Speakers included health broadcaster Dr. Gary Null,PhD, Dr.Michael Schachter,MD, Alan Phillips,JD attorney specializing in vaccination laws and exemption and Ralph Fucetola,JD health lawyer specializing in vitamin regulation and laws. We were advised that a recent tightly held secret test of the H1N1 vaccine abroad a naval ship resulted in serious adverse events and will soon be displayed on Gary Null's website _www.garynull.com_ (http://www.garynull.com) Dr.Richard Daines,MD, NYS Commissioner of Health had previously proposed a bill to mandate that all health care personnel in long term care facilities must receive annual influenza vaccinations .Bills to implement this proposed policy in the Assembly sponsored by Chairman Gottfried, A 8133 and in the Senate by Chairman Duane, S 3256.
