A judge Friday halted Rockland County Executive Ed Day’s emergency declaration barring children who are unvaccinated against measles from schools, places of worship and other public areas after several families filed a lawsuit.
Acting state Supreme Court Judge Rolf Thorsen’s injunction stated that the 166 cases cited by the county since the measles outbreak began last October did not rise to the level of an epidemic or constitute a disaster.
Day’s reliance on executive law in issuing the emergency declaration “may have been misplaced,” the decision stated.
Day expressed disappointment in the ruling but maintained his belief that the order made a difference.
“While today’s ruling by Judge Thorsen did not go as we had expected I want to commend those here in Rockland who have used this State of Emergency as an opportunity to get vaccinated and have conversations with their friends and neighbors about vaccination,” he said in a statement. “We sought to find a new way to fight back against a disease that was eradicated almost 20 years ago and refused to sit idly by while those in Rockland were put at risk.”

on what grounds did they file a lawsuit? anyone knows? what can they possibly say in it? that they have freedom to do what they want?that they put the whole public at risk? i would love to know what the had in the lawsuit
THE TRUTH IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE!! THE EXCESSIVELY-TOXIC-PACKED-VACCINATIONS, THEY ARE WHAT PUT THE WHOLE PUBLIC AT GRAVE RISK OF GETTING TERRIBLE DISEASES AND BEING SEVERELY INJURED AND MAIMED FOR LIFE!!
Please keep the government out of our lives and our homes. Big brother doesn’t care if citizens engage in toaiva behavior which leads to HIV and aids. So why should the government mix in when it comes to vaccinations.
EXCELLENT!! VERY WELL PUT!!
That the wicked government fully permits and even encourages all forms of Toeiva — which clearly causes the super (HIV) Yenem Machlas, Rachmana Litzlan, Lo Alaynu — glaringly shows that they do not give a hoot about people’s health and safety whatsoever at all!! So by measles they suddenly ARE all worried up about the public’s health & safety??????? ABSOLUTE TOTAL BALONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. ‘Proud rodef ‘ HIv is voluntary this isn’t. Apples and oranges. Rafua shelaima
If vaccines worked so well, why ban unvaxxed people? What are you scared of?
