Father Files Lawsuit Against NYC Ballet for Barring Unvaccinated 3-Year-Old Daughter from Attending Shows
May 23, 2022 | New York
A father has filed a class-action age-discrimination lawsuit against New York City Ballet (NYCB) for barring his 3-year-old daughter from attending shows at Lincoln Center because she is unvaccinated.
The New York City Ballet requires its attendees, including kids, to get vaccinated. However, the plaintiff’s daughter is too young to receive the experimental shot. There is still no FDA-authorized Covid-19 vaccine for kids ages four years old and below. Only children ages 5 through 11 years are eligible to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. According to the lawsuit, “Defendant’s ostensible rationale for discriminating against children under five in the enjoyment of its public accommodation cannot be credited, given that defendant prohibits entry of some unvaccinated individuals who present an exceedingly low risk of COVID- 19 transmission while allowing entry of other unvaccinated individuals — the disabled and some religious believers—who present a far higher risk of such.”..
