Father prohibited from seeing child unless he receives COVID-19 vaccine

A New York City judge has ruled that a father in a custody dispute cannot visit his daughter unless he gets vaccinated for COVID-19 or agrees to get tested weekly.

According to the ruling, if the father does not receive the COVID-19 vaccine, he must take a PCR test every week, as well as a biweekly antigen test within 24 hours of seeing his child, thethat his client"is not a conspiracy theorist. He has concerns about the vaccine. He's heard about side effects. He once had a bad reaction to a flu vaccine."

The mother has been supervising the father's visits with their 3-year-old daughter"due to a history of substance abuse and untreated mental health issues," according to the ruling. Justice Matthew Cooper, who is presiding over the divorce and custody dispute, wrote that"here, in-person parental access by the defendant is not in the child's best interests, and there are exceptional circumstances that support its suspension."

The mother's lawyer, Evan Schein, said the ruling is"an incredibly important one that highlights the extraordinary times we are living in and reinforces that a child's best interests are paramount," according to theThe child's mother said on September 2 that the father would be allowed to see his daughter only with a COVID-19 vaccination, thereported. But she amended that position two weeks later and said he could visit if he agreed to get tested weekly.

I for one an glad that the drug makers are shielded from any responsibility for any long term side effects.

DBChirpy That’s fair. His fatherhood/sperm, does not give him the right to infect another. Either get the shot, test, or don’t see your kids.
