Attorney Robert Krakow Discusses Forced Vaccination Lawsuit with CNN HeadLine News

Last week, the New York City Commissioner of Health declared a public health emergency, ordering all people who live, work or reside in four Brooklyn zip codes to be vaccinated with the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine declared to be “effective and safe.” Non-compliance with the order is a misdemeanor subject to criminal and civil fines, including imprisonment.

The MMR vaccine is manufactured using WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts obtained from aborted fetal tissue. The forced vaccination order primarily affects Orthodox and Hasidic Jews living in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn who do not vaccinate because it violates their core religious beliefs.

NY state allows for religious exemptions. From the lawsuit: “…the respondents’ emergency Orders unnecessarily override the petitioners’ and their children’s religious practices and the children’s lawful exemptions from vaccination to attend school, which they have obtained in full compliance with Public Health Law §2164(9).”

Robert Krakow, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Patricia Finn have filed a lawsuit to protect the rights of New Yorkers. Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is supporting the legal challenge to this dangerous, unprecedented overreach. While the City has unquestionable authority to control disease outbreaks, it may not violate the bedrock principle of prior, free and informed consent to all medical interventions, including vaccines. This is a fundamental human right. Concerned citizens are encouraged to donate to Children’s Health Defense legal efforts.
