CRISIS OF FAITH
Pols want to eliminate religious exemptions to
vaccination before measles outbreak subsides
BY COLIN MIXSON
A cadre of New York lawmakers
want to eliminate
religious exemptions
to vaccinations before a
state-wide measles outbreak
subsides, with one
upstate senator claiming
the political will to ax the
exemption hinges on fears
stoked by the epidemic
that’s overwhelmingly
affected unvaccinated
Brooklynites.
“The fear is we lose this
opportunity,” said Sen.
David Carlucci, who represents
Rockland County,
which is combating its
own measles outbreak.
“As we lose the outbreak
right now, there’s a sense
of security that’s just not
real. We’ve seen how vulnerable
we are, and we
need to say New Yorkers
are at risk, we need to
take action, and we can’t
wait for session to be over,
because then it will be too
late.”
Carlucci joined Manhattan
senate colleague
Brad Hoylman and Bronx
Assemblyman Jeff Dinowitz
at a press conference
near City Hall on May 28,
where they hoped to drum
up support for Senate bill
S2994 and its Assembly
counterpart A2371 before
the current legislative
season ends on June 19.
The lawmakers are
looking to follow in the
footsteps of California
legislators — whose repeal
of the Golden State’s
religious exemption lead
to state-wide increases
in immunization — as
the measles virus continues
to sweep through
New York, where it has infected
843 people since October.
Of those, 535 cases
were discovered in Brooklyn,
where the disease has
spread rapidly through
Orthodox Jewish communities
in Borough Park
and Williamsburg, in addition
to infecting 12 non-
Jewish residents of Sunset
Park.
The state’s religious
exemption allows unvaccinated
children to attend
public schools, where students
would otherwise
require a more stringent
medical exemption to enroll
without inoculations.
At the press conference,
a group of cancer
survivors — all students
— suffering severely compromised
immune systems
joined the politicians,
who spoke out about the
extraordinary care they
must take to avoid disease
and infection, saying that
sharing a classroom with
an unvaccinated classmate
could lead to the end
of their lives.
“We’re just trying to
live,” said Teela Wyman,
a 26-year-old law student
who survived stage four
lymphoma cancer, and required
lung surgery three
times last year due to infections,
including one
caused by the flu. “We’re
just trying to be normal
people. These diseases are
preventable.”
Proponents of the exemption
claim it’s a protection
guaranteed by the
First Amendment, while
also arguing that the vast
majority of non-vaccinated
New Yorkers do not
have a religious exemption,
and that repealing it
would have little practical
effect on the spread of disease.
Hoylman, however,
argued that unscrupulous
anti-vaxxers are taking
advantage of the religious
exemption to enroll
their unvaccinated kids in
school, despite their objections
being rooted in junk
science — not faith.
