NY Legislative "Hold" Placed -- On Proposed "Secret" Gardasil Vaccinations, Of Minors


Ed Silverman, over at Pharmalot, has the story:

. . . .This bill was held in the [New York State] Senate Codes Committee on February 9, 2010 at the request of the sponsor. During this time, with the input of constituents and advocacy groups, the sponsor will have the opportunity to improve and clarify the bill’s language. . . .

This bill (more background) is unlikely to reach the floor of the New York legislative chambers any time soon -- or at all -- given its manifold constitutional infirmities. One cannot constitutionally legislate-away fundamental rights, in vague terms. And these -- in the current form, at least -- encompass the vaguest of terms. This one is plainly DOA.
