Vaccination opponents turn out to hearing

Aug 15, 2019 12:34 am
Bethany Bump reports in the Albany Times Union that an Albany County Supreme Court hearing Aug. 14 drew more than 1,000 people to the state capital, mostly there to protest a new law ending religious exemptions to New York school vaccination requirements. Albany County Supreme Court Justice Denise Hartman heard arguments in favor and against granting a preliminary injunction to block the law ahead before the upcoming school year. Many of the protesters appeared all in white, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., an environmental attorney now synonymous with the anti-vaccine movement, spoke outside afterwards. "You are defending one of the foundational, cornerstone rights of the American republic," Kennedy said. Hartman said she expected to make a decision on the preliminary injunction before the school year begins. Read more about this story in the Albany Times Union.
