On Monday, we looked at a bill (designated as A416) that had been sitting idly in the New York State Assembly for several years which, if passed into law, would effectively create internment camps for unvaccinated residents of the state. A number of outlets picked up on this news and it began creating quite a stir, with reporters questioning the bill’s sponsor, Assemblyman Nick Perry of Flatbush. This turned out to be precisely the sort of attention that the Assemblyman didn’t want to receive. He began lashing out at people he claimed were spreading a “fire of lies and mistruths.” But he then turned around and pulled the bill, putting an end to the debate… at least for now.

The remarkable part of this story is Perry’s insistence that all of the outrage over his bill was the product of “lies and mistruths.” If you go back and read the portions of the bill we highlighted on Monday, the bill proposed doing precisely what everyone was saying it would do. While the legislation didn’t use the specific term “internment camps,” there’s really no other suitable description for what he was proposing. Putting people in “medical facilities” where they are not allowed to leave and potentially forcibly vaccinating them is absolutely nothing short of an internment camp.

Perhaps more alarming was the way that Spectrum News, one of the largest local media outlets in upstate New York, unquestioningly jumped on the bandwagon, saying that the bill had “fueled false COVID-related conspiracy theories.” Since when is publishing and commenting on an existing piece of legislation a “conspiracy theory?”
