NEW YORK - A New York lawmaker has proposed mandating vaccination against COVID-19 if not enough residents voluntarily get the shot once it is available.
Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal, who represents parts of Manhattan's West Side, earlier this month introduced a bill that would require the state to "safely and effectively" distribute an FDA-approved vaccine "in accordance with the department [of health]'s COVID-19 vaccination administration program," according to the language of the legislation.
"While steps have been taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19, epidemiologists and public health experts have concluded that a vaccine will be necessary to develop herd immunity and ultimately stop the spread of the disease," the bill's support memo states. "[T]he State must make efforts to promote vaccination and ensure that a high enough percentage of the population is vaccinated against COVID-19 to develop sufficient immunity."

The bill is convoluted, with undefined trigger conditions, but the bottom line is that NY's legislature should rejects this. Let people make their own personal risk decision, and if Cuomo's anti-Trump Vaccine shtick proves inconveniently effective, too damn bad.

Let's face it.... under a Biden/Harris/Commie regime.... everything will be "mandatory"...
unless or until our Government masters deem it non-mandatory.
You think you've seen tyranny from these cretins? You ain't seen nothing yet.

It's New York, Pete (a state run by the leftist/communists of NYC).
They won't.
