Crooked Corrupt Cuomo Plays Musical Judges
The alert below is courtesy of the Autism Action Network. Please support their efforts anyway you can. Call Cuomo at the number listed below and give him a piece of your mind.
Ralph Wiggins, the New York Supreme Court judge in Steuben County who was hearing one of several lawsuits brought by attorney James Mermigis challenging the constitutionality of the repeal of the religious exemption from vaccine mandates to attend school was removed from the case effective December 5, and the case has been reassigned to Judge Daniel Doyle, a Supreme Court Judge in Seneca County. In an earlier decision Wiggins had been scathing in his remarks on the process and substance of the repeal. Judge Doyle decided a similar case on November 7 in tiny Seneca County holding that it is constitutional to shut down the entire Amish school system in New York due to their refusal on religious grounds to comply with mandated vaccines. The same day delivered his decision, New York State announced that Seneca County won a $10 million state grant for revitalization of main streets in the county. The decision to reassign Judge Wiggins happened the same day as the New York Supreme Court in Albany County dismissed a challenge to the repeal, based on different legal theory than the case before Wiggins, brought by Michael Sussman and Children's Health Defense. Sussman has pledged to appeal the dismissal.
People frequently think the Courts are somehow above the dirty business of politics but as we see that isn't the case. And in the courts, just like in the state agencies and the legislature, Governor Cuomo is almost always able to get what he wants. The vote to repeal the religious exemption was extremely close by Albany standards, and it only passed in the Assembly because Governor Cuomo was applying as much pressure as he could to the Assemblymembers. We have heard from many, many people that serious arm twisting was required to get the vote, and they just barely got that.
Please call the Governor Cuomo's office (and add the number to your contacts) and politely let the staffer know that you are well aware that the Governor is manipulating the Courts to guarantee the outcome he, and his drug company masters, want.

Whenever any issue involves vaccines the key player calling the shots are the four vaccines companies, which are also the four largest drug companies in the world, that produce all the vaccines required to attend school in New York, and produce nearly 90% of that the vaccines in the world: Pfizer, Merck, Sanofi and Glaxo. Cuomo is their primary agent in New York. And Cuomo has been an extremely dutiful servant, probably the most pro-vaccine governor ever.
Cuomo eliminated the religious exemption. He is trying to eliminate medical exemptions. He added the meningococcal vaccine to the schedule by putting it in the budget to get around the legislatures' refusal to act on it for nearly ten years. He has added multiple boosters to the schedule. He has refused to enforce a 2008 law banning mercury-containing vaccines for children under three and pregnant women. He has passed regulations that allow shots for STDs to be given to minors without parental consent or knowledge. He has allowed local governments to devise their own mandatory schedules. He has continually expanded where and what professions can give vaccines. And he is clearly manipulating the courts to assure a pro-repeal decision is rendered. Let him know that we are aware of his dismal record on vaccines and his obvious manipulation of the courts.
