This is city planner @lindseyboylan.bsky.social.
She was the 1st whistleblower to bravely come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo. 12 others joined her. Cuomo resigned as Governor.
His “comeback” never should have been enabled.
She earned this moment more than most.

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through.

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.
