Medical freedom groups in New York are fighting legislation that would make it mandatory for the state’s healthcare providers to report all vaccines they administer to adults.
Earlier bills have passed the New York State Assembly on two occasions, but stalled in the Senate.
However, state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal (D, WFP-Manhattan) reintroduced the bill this session. He also gave it a new name: “The Registry for Keeping Justified Records Act,” or the RFK Jr. Act — a clear shot at U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr., opponents of the bill said.
The RFK Jr. Act is modeled after the state’s existing database, which mandates vaccine reporting for patients 18 and under.
