Infecting People Isn’t a Religious Right
The measles outbreak makes it vital for New York lawmakers to end religious exemptions for vaccinations

May 21, 2019


It’s no coincidence that measles is spreading across the United States after a decade in which the number of parents claiming exemption for their children from vaccination has grown. The outbreak has been most intense in New York, particularly in deeply insular ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn and upstate that have been vulnerable to misinformation and resistant to vaccination.

To halt the spread of the disease, bills in the State Senate and Assembly would prevent parents from claiming that their religious beliefs exempt them from legal requirements that their children be vaccinated before going to school. The American Academy of Pediatrics has made the elimination of such nonmedical exemptions its top priority this year.

The legislation would allow exemptions only if a licensed doctor certified that the immunization was detrimental to the child’s health, as is the case in current law.

Action on these sensible bills has stalled, however, just weeks before legislators leave for the summer — even as the latest cases of the highly contagious and sometimes fatal disease were diagnosed in New York last week.


While bills in both chambers are in committee, opposition to the legislation is centered on the Assembly, where a bill before the Health Committee has not received a vote and the chairman, Richard Gottfried, said it would not until a majority of the committee supported it. More disturbingly, Mr. Gottfried said he and other committee members thought the legislation could violate the First Amendment, echoing one of the anti-vaccine movement’s favored talking points — that beliefs about vaccines are protected by the Constitution. Mr. Gottfried said he was still wrestling with where he stood on the issue.

And while Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he opposes religious exemptions for vaccines, last month he hedged that stance, also expressing concern for First Amendment protections.

Religious freedom is important to protect, but the courts have ruled it doesn’t apply here. In upholding a California law that removed religious exemptions, a federal appeals court last year noted an earlier ruling that, “The right to practice religion freely does not include liberty to expose the community or the child to communicable disease or the latter to ill health or death.”

Mr. Gottfried said he was uneasy anyway. “There are probably several issues where views on the Constitution and constitutional values may differ from what the Supreme Court majority thinks,” he said.

It’s not clear what these concerns are even based on. Faith leaders themselves have acknowledged that the grounds for religious opposition to vaccines are shaky, at best. The Orthodox Union and the Rabbinical Council of America have organized a public health campaign to get parents to vaccinate their children.


Legal mandates are one of the best ways to accomplish that goal. They increase the likelihood that vaccine-wary parents will consult legitimate medical professionals who have the capacity to allay their fears. They provide a crucial counter to the factually vacuous anti-vaccine campaign, which is being waged not only on social media platforms like Facebook, but also in statehouses across the country. And, as recent experience shows, they work: When legislators in California and Michigan strengthened their mandates, vaccination rates in those states went up.

New York City has declared a public health emergency around the measles outbreaks in Brooklyn and Queens, even closing several yeshivas — and threatening to close others — that did not comply with mandatory vaccination orders. But children throughout New York State remain vulnerable. State Senator Brad Hoylman, a lead sponsor of the legislation to end the religious exemption, said in a phone interview on Tuesday that he didn’t want to wait for tragedy to act.

Mr. Hoylman is right, and New York’s leaders must not let this legislation continue to languish. The bill could go further — as currently written, it wouldn’t impose any penalties, for instance, on parents who violate the law and send their children to school unvaccinated. Yet, in a state with an urgent public health crisis, this is the best place to begin.

I am sure the New York Times is delighted to have this editorial spread far and wide.

Also, occasional copying of an article is allowed under fair use, a far as I know. This is for limited distribution, and it's only one short editorial.

Isnt it OK if you quote where you took from?

So the title is a little different from what I thought the article will be. I thought they would make a bill that allows anti vaxing but hold you accountable and fine you or jail you if you did not keep the isolation mandated when there is a positive PCR (confirmed measles)

Each person gets FIVE articles for free from the NYT, that's not free usage. It doesn't matter if you change the name.

To me it's ironic that the same people who don't want the government to have a say about what is injected into their bodies are the same people who have forced the shuttering of abortion clinics because the government should have the right to decide what people do with their bodies.

It's more that they don't want people to murder other bodies (unborn babies).

The baby is NOT the woman's "body" but a SEPARATE human being.

This is a silly propaganda editorial.

Of course a person with measles does not have a right to walk around infecting others.
Quarintine is the law for SICK people.

But to say that HEALTHY people don't have the right to walk around because there is a
teeny tiny chance they have a contagious disease is Tyranical.

Even VACCINATED people might have a cold or flu which can be fatal for elderly or sick.

Should we lock everyone up?

As for forcing people to vax - What right does anyone have to force people to risk
Death or Permanent Injury to protect others?

This is a violation of the Nuremberg Code.

And if you are Vaccinated, why are you afraid of the unvaccinated?

Isn't that the whole point of the vaccine?

You should know that there are many cases where the Torah allows abortion and some where it would require it.

Don't be frummer than the Torah. We don't want Catholic politicians making these decisions for us, regardless of what we believe about some of the abortions happening in this country.

I know sometimes abortion is necessary to save the mother.

Self-Defense is not murder.

Doing abortion for inconvenience is murder.

But let's not derail this thread re: vaccination

This is not a medical experiment,it doesn't violate the Nuremberg code. In any case, nobody is forced to vaccinate.

Ironically though the measles outbreak started in Disneyland where crunchy antivaxing gentiles congregated with their unvaccinated children.

But who cares about facts when there are orthodox jews to bash?

INFORMED CONSENT is for all medical treatment - not just experiments. So nobody should
be coerced to take any medical treatment against their will.

The clinical trials for Covid Vaccine doesn't end until 2023, there is no FDA approval - so it is
a medical experiment.

And there is plenty of COERCION to vax - employers threatening to fire, schools and colleges
denying admission....
