Good afternoon.
0:56:38
Chair, Moi, Dela Rosa, Mili, and Maserato.
0:56:42
So I wanna make this clear.
0:56:44
You know, there's a reason that these these rates for the COVID shots and vaccinations are being lower because the schools are not being compliant.
0:56:58
The health department, they're not pushing for more funding for education to get these kids vaccinated and and stay in compliance with the vaccinations.
0:57:09
Then you have a problem with certain organizations that certain members of the city council have no problems standing next to it that mainly in the communist caucus and the Republican Party which is called teachers of choice and showed the health defense who was funded by Mark Gordon, who funds transportation alternatives they have a big say now in the city council about vaccines and diesel mandates.
0:57:35
And what they're able to do is bring in anti semitic experience theories about the vaccines.
0:57:41
So what we need to stop start doing a little more is we have to try to I can say suppress those voices that are pushing these theories about vaccines in shots because I took my COVID shots.
0:57:57
I'm still here.
0:57:58
I took my measles shots.
0:57:59
I'm still here.
0:58:01
There's a lot of people that take these shots.
0:58:03
And they're still here in the city of New York.
0:58:05
But, yeah, of course, a few people die, but that doesn't mean that just because a few people die, it doesn't mean that there's a big issue with the COVID shots.
0:58:13
And the and the vaccines, and the measles shots.
0:58:15
So like I said before, again, we had to we had to really come together as the city council and the state assembly because these same members harassing they felt the menikina the menikina named Korina Reyes, harassing her because she's trying to save lives with making kids, trying to get kids be vaccinated, but these so called experience theories of teaching the choice and child health defense are pushing are are being against this bill, and all they trying to do is spread anti semitic experience dairies about the vaccines and and etcetera.
