New York will not back down on measles vaccination order

New York — New York City's department of health defended its mandatory measles vaccination order in a state court on Thursday after a group of anonymous Brooklyn parents sued, arguing that the order was unconstitutional.

Five people who said they were parents living in the affected neighbourhoods sued the department this week in Brooklyn's Supreme Court, filing their lawsuit anonymously in order, their lawyers said, to protect their childrens' privacy. The department's lawyers argued that this was a serious outbreak and that quarantining was ineffective because infected people could be contagious before symptoms appeared. They said the lawsuit relied on bogus or discredited science.
