Good times.

Yeah.

In New York City, as a city worker, a public worker, we were forced to do it.

I knew there was no way that was going to happen.

I have sincerely held religious beliefs against vaccination, regardless of all the other problems with this specific vaccine.

So I always knew it was never an option for me at all.

And we ended up

Starting a group called Teachers for Choice, which people could check out at teachersforchoice.org, teachers, F-O-R, choice.org.

And we've been fighting for four years.

Children's Health Defense has backed up our lawsuits.

There's two lawsuits that I'm a named plaintiff in.

One in the state courts, one in federal courts.

The state court suit won, but New York City has appealed it.

So the way the courts work, even though I have a victory, they defer to the state.

No, no, no, you don't get your job back until we see if you win these appeals.

And I'm very, very fortunate and lucky.

You know, I'm not today.

I'm the director of advocacy at Children's Health Defense, just an amazing organization.
