All New York City employers will soon need to mandate that their workers present proof of vaccination against COVID-19, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday.
The outgoing mayor announced the policy during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” describing it as a “pre-emptive strike” against an expected surge in COVID cases this winter amid the emergence of the Omicron variant of the virus.
The policy will go into effect Dec. 27.
“We’re going to announce a first-in-the-nation measure,” de Blasio said. “Our health commissioner will announce the vaccine mandate for private sector employers across the board. All private-sector employers in New York City will be covered by this vaccine mandate.”
Hizzoner added that the mandate is aimed at “maximizing vaccination quickly, so we can get ahead of Omicron and all the other challenges we’re facing right now.”
Currently, only municipal employees are subject to a COVID-19 inoculation requirement, which took effect for most city workers in late October.
This is not even remotely close to legal. In fact, it's insanity. Even going by their own made up rules, it doesn't make sense. The current vaccine didn't even work against delta but it's going to work against omicron? {Yes I know it's all fake anyway, but even in fake world it doesn't work}
Give me a fucking break. This reeks of a mayor on his way out announcing something that he knows has no chance but he can point back and say "look, I tried!"
This should be struck down immediately. And the people better be out there right now
They need to start the VAIDS pandemic...
I’m sorry but when do welfare and food stamp recipients get forced to comply? After all, their livelihood depends on the government and compliance from them should be almost guaranteed.
Solved the riddle yet?
They are destroying the private sector and the military - plain and simple.
I solved the riddle when I first heard of welfare and food stamps 40 years ago
