'The choice between vaccination and incarceration is not really a choice at all': Legal experts SLAM New York judges for 'troubling' and 'dangerous' decision to order defendants to get COVID-19 shots as part of plea deals and bail conditions

Legal experts and the American Civil Liberties Union have criticized a pair of New York judges for ordering defendants to get vaccinated if they want to make bail or be granted a plea deal. The ACLU slammed the decisions as ‘troubling’ and one lawyer even called the rulings ‘nonsensical’ and abuse of power that could be seen as grounds for the judges to be censured or suspended.
