    The legislation announced Friday by Assemblywoman Patricia Fahy and Sen. Liz Krueger would authorize anyone 14 or older to get immunizations even if their parents object.

    The two Democrats say the change is needed because too many parents have accepted unsupported claims that vaccines are unsafe. They say the problem is prompting a resurgence of diseases like measles and endangering children who cannot be immunized for medical reasons.

    Earlier this week, an Ohio teen testified before Congress about how he defied his mother’s anti-vaccine beliefs by getting his shots when he turned 18. Ethan Lindenberger told federal lawmakers that more must be done to combat fraudulent claims about vaccine safety.

    Anyone who is not vaccinated and is 14 or over has either had the measles or is naturally immune.

    Since there are so naby deaths from measles… HUGE FRAUD!

    Time everybody wakes up and realizes the brainwashing the pharmaceutical industry gas done to us….

    The CDC only knows of hundreds of people who contracted measles now with anybody in the Jewish Community knows there are thousands of undocumented cases. Thank God there is no death! And the simple reason is cuz it’s not a deadly disease.

    This stupid 18 year old that he thinks he discovered the world, asks the question “only God knows how I’m still alive”, idiot… Did you just not prove the point you don’t need vaccines to be alive…
    And our smart Congress brings an 18 year old to testify on vaccine safety and the importance of vaccines, our country is run by a bunch of idiots
