ALERT: Health Department is Visiting Schools in Brooklyn and Illegally Demanding Vaccine Records
The NYC Health Department started visiting schools and demanding the vaccine records of teachers. Many of these teachers harbor religious objections to the vaccine. The order from the Health Commissioner explicitly allows for exemptions, but no matter. The Health Department has been notorious to use its bully pulpit to coerce schools to do its bidding. It is now falsely claiming that religious exemptions cannot be honored, and all teachers must receive this vaccine.
For your safety. Truly.
What can you do about it?
For starters, don’t let them in!
Until the Health Department can justify writing summons for empty buildings because “we have a list”, they have no business entering our mosdos.
They aren’t our friends, and they don’t belong in our buildings.
If your school made the mistake on allowing them to enter, at the very least band together with fellow teachers and file a lawsuit. Make no mistake about it. Just like the education law, the future of the freedom to practice religion is at stake.
Lastly, the schools make boatloads of money from programs such as Headstart, UPK etc. If all the teachers would unionize and strike, the school would be forced to take up the cause on behalf of the teachers and not treat them like underdogs. Do the right thing and don’t take this sitting down.
