N.Y.C. to Require Vaccination Proof for Indoor Dining and Fitness

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

New York City will become the first U.S. city to require proof of at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine for a variety of activities for workers and customers — indoor dining, gyms and performances — to put pressure on people to get vaccinated, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday morning.

The program, similar to mandates issued in France and Italy last month, will start on Aug. 16, and after a transition period, enforcement will begin on Sept. 13, when schools are expected to reopen and more workers could return to offices in Manhattan. Mr. de Blasio has been moving aggressively to get more New Yorkers vaccinated to curtail a third wave of coronavirus cases amid concern about the spread of the Delta variant. He is also requiring city workers to get vaccinated or to face weekly testing, and he has offered a $100 incentive for the public.

“If you want to participate in our society fully, you’ve got to get vaccinated,” he said at a news conference. “It’s time.”

“This is going to be a requirement,” he added. “The only way to patronize these establishments is if you are vaccinated, at least one dose. The same for folks in terms of work, they will need at least one dose,” he said, holding up a single finger.

1. I would love for that to happen here

Not a chance. People are demonstrating about a hospital that said all employees will be vaxxed or no employment. Maddening

2. I'm a New Yorker and the subways need to enforce mask wearing

Most people in the subway or on the buses wear their masks. Many people wear them while walking on the streets. Too often, I'll see some jack-hole on the subway not wearing their mask. They're usually punks of one sort or another as if they're attempting to create a problematic scene.

Ignorant people piss me off.

3. I don't believe they are ignorant.

I think that this type of personality thrives on confrontations and instigating negative behavior. They get off by pushing others' buttons, saying and acting in a way that will result in arguments, violence, etc. Basically they are assholes who love to get into and to start fights...just like their Dear Leader.

4. I think we meant the same thing

They're looking for some trouble or confrontation.

5. I think that the majority of maskhole fit into this group.

It isn't about "freedumb" or personal choice. That is an excuse they use for starting fights and promoting anger. They are beyond despicable, sub humans.
