NY Bar Association Recommends Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine With No Exemptions

The New York State Bar Association is urging the state to adopt mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations once they become available - if 'voluntary measures fail to protect public health' - and has recommended following 'current New York law' - including exemptions for "religious, philosophical or personal reasons," according to the New York Law Journal.

"The authority of the state to respond to a public health crisis is well-established in constitutional law," said Mary Beth Morrisey NY Bar association Health Law Section Task Force chair, in a Saturday statement.

"In balancing the protection of the public’s health and civil liberties, the Public Health Law recognizes that a person’s health can and does affect others," she continued. "It may become necessary to require that certain individuals or communities be vaccinated, such as healthcare workers and students, to protect the public’s health."

According to the Bar Association's recommendation, "To protect the public’s health, it would be useful to provide guidance, consistent with existing law or a state emergency health powers act as proposed in Resolution #1, to assist state officials and state and local public health authorities should it be necessary for the state to consider the possibility of enacting a vaccine mandate."

They also recognize that the public needs to believe that the vaccine is safe and that it works.

"A vaccine must not only be safe and efficacious; it must be publicly perceived as safe and efficacious."

Bill Gates-Funded 'Child Labor Is Good' Article Triggers Internet Outrage

While the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has routinely strived to support people in extreme poverty by improving their health and economic mobility through various programs, the foundation may have gone off the deep end by bizarrely sponsoring an article that promotes child labor.

The article in question was published in The Guardian's "Global Development" section on Friday is titled "Child labour doesn't have to be exploitation – it gave me life skills." Underneath the header, a logo of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is visible with text that says, "Global development is supported by" the foundation.

Written by Elizabeth Sibale, the deputy chief of party at global impact firm Palladium, praises her childhood experience in Malawi, doing hard work for her family - such as food prepping, carrying water, and babysitting her siblings - as an example of the hard work she did to mold her into the women she is today.

"However, where do you draw the line between what has internationally deemed a crime and a natural process of transferring skills? Is international concern on child rights relevant to Africa?" Sibale said.

She said, "contrary to popular belief, most child labourers are employed by their parents rather than in manufacturing or the formal economy."

Adding that "in Africa, where many areas have no social security or social services to support the vulnerable, families are responsible for educating and training the next generation to become capable adults."

RT News points out that her opinion piece "was apparently built on discussions at a seminar held last month by Palladium. The point that cultures have different norms on what work should be considered appropriate for a child is hardly debatable."

RT, quoting the International Labor Organization, says child work that impeeds education or is hazardous is a form of child labor.

"The crux of the issue is how to treat dirt-poor parents, who keep their kids out of classrooms because they are needed to support the household. Sibale and her colleagues argue that westerners should mind their cultural biases when looking at domestic chores," RT said.

Apparently, some on Twitter were not pleased with the article, saying: "billionaire-funded 'child labor is good' takes has to be a new stage of capitalist dystopia."

Exodus Coming? Four Trump Officials Left Posts As Ballots Were Counted

Since election day on November 3rd three top officials have departed the Trump administration, and one other was demoted. All resignations were described as 'sudden' and unexpected, suggesting there could be more to come.

While there's no significant evidence they were directly related to the election, it caused some media outlets to begin speculating that "a last-minute shake up" was on the immediate horizon, also as rumors persisted last week that Trump was set to fire CIA Director Gina Haspel as well as Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.

Either some didn't want to serve in what was a possible four more years of the Trump administration, or alternately knowing that Trump was not going to concede in the event of defeat perhaps didn't want to stick around for the spectacle of Trump digging in for the legal fight.

AOC admits, ‘I don’t even know if I want to be in politics’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she doesn’t know whether she wants to stay in politics, much less run for higher office.

“It’s the stress. … It’s the lack of support from your own party. It’s your own party thinking you’re the enemy,’’ the Bronx congresswoman told the New York Times in an interview published over the weekend.

“I’m serious when I tell people the odds of me running for higher office and the odds of me just going off trying to start a homestead somewhere — they’re probably the same,” said the pol, who just won re-election.

“I don’t even know if I want to be in politics,” AOC said. “You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn’t even know if I was going to run for re-election this year.’’

The self-described democratic socialist and her “Squad” of congressional cronies have taken heat over their party’s unexpectedly poor showing in some races, with critics saying the progressive female group’s attempt to push the Dems to the far-left killed colleagues at the polls.

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) on Sunday accused liberals who pushed the “defund the police” battle cry amid the Black Lives Matter movement of costing some Democrats their seats. AOC has been among those calling for “defunding.”

In a Biden Administration, Changes for the Military Could Start on Day One

The withdrawal of U.S. troops from Germany, the military's transgender ban, the diversion of military construction funds to build a wall on the Mexico border – all of these controversial policies and others could be history on Day One of Joe Biden's presidency.

As soon as he's sworn in, Biden would have the authority with a stroke of a pen to reverse a string of controversial military and national security policies put in place by President Donald Trump's executive orders or use of his emergency powers. The Associated Press and major news outlets projected Biden the winner Saturday, although the result still must be certified and is expected to face legal challenges from the Trump campaign.

Various advocacy groups are already lining up to hold Biden to his campaign promises to reverse Trump's controversial military policies.

In a statement Saturday, the Modern Military Association of America, a non-profit LGBTQ advocacy group, said Biden was expected to reverse Trump's executive order that effectively banned transgender military service.

"Thankfully, President-elect Biden has pledged to quickly take action and reverse Trump's unconstitutional transgender military ban," MMAA said. "Every qualified American patriot regardless of their gender identity should be able to serve."

Trump's surprise decision in July to remove nearly 12,000 U.S. troops from Germany, shifting some eastward and sending others home, could also be reversed rapidly under Biden's stated objective to shore up NATO and strengthen partnerships with allies.

The early indicator of how far the new president will go in abandoning Trump's "America First" policy will be "whether Biden will move to reverse Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Germany," said Christopher Skaluba, director of the Transatlantic Security Initiative at the Atlantic Council.

"Doing so will be a down payment on ensuring adequate resources are available to deter Russia," Skaluba wrote in an analysis Saturday shortly after Biden claimed victory.

To the end of shoring up alliances, Biden could also immediately end the impasse with South Korea over how much Seoul pays to support the presence of 28,000 U.S. troops on the peninsula.

South Korea currently pays about $900 million and has offered a 13% increase, which has been rejected by the Trump administration.

Biden has also pledged to move quickly to halt construction of the border wall and possibly move to withdraw the more than 4,000 active-duty and National Guard troops the Trump administration has deployed to the border to support Customs and Border Protection, and Homeland Security.

At a joint convention in August of the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Biden vowed to halt construction of the border wall.

By declaring a national emergency at the border in 2019, Trump began diverting $2.5 billion in funding from military construction and counter-drug programs authorized by Congress to the border wall. Biden could begin to reverse that by declaring an end to the national emergency.
