New York City medics and firefighters will be among the first in line for the new COVID-19 vaccines as early as mid-December — but they will not be required to take it.

The FDNY told its members, including Emergency Medical Service workers, in an internal order Friday that it would soon provide the eagerly-awaited vaccine to first responders

He added, “The public has no way of knowing who took the vaccine and who didn’t. You could be Typhoid Mary … Imagine a crew going into a nursing home, and three or four are not vaccinated. They could spread it to everybody and kill people.”

This right here. Are we supposed carry proof we got it? Insane.

What difference does it make to them?

Cuomo ORDERED nursing homes to take COVID patients and NOW they are worried about someone there catching it?

The military are probably going to be the only ones who don’t have a choice in the matter and if the vax is not as advertise then our military will not be a full strength to perform the missions tasked to them.

I watched a movie on HBO the other night, Contagion. It's nine years old but very prescient.

At the end of the film after a vaccine becomes available, people wear wristbands with barcodes that can be quickly scanned to show proof of vaccination.

I suspect something like this is in our future.

You don’t have to take it, you just can’t report for duty until you do.

The same Cuomo who said he wouldn't allow the Orange Man Bad vaccine into New York until the New York State FDA (The state has it's own FDA? Who knew?) repeated the entire Federal FDA approval process?

That Cuomo?

Wouldn’t a fire kill off the virus?
Firemen wear masks so why should they vaccinate?

Just had a thought. As a civilian, I’d hate to be wearing a mask during a fire. I’ll make sure to spray fire retardant on mine. Should I waterproof it also? Spray it with fluorescent paint?

That’s not the only thing Cuomo did.

Cuomo also allowed confirmed positive staff to continue to report to work until he changed the policy in the middle of May.

He deliberately murdered those people, probably for budgetary reasons.

Get rid of the financial burden all those nursing home patients had on the state.

Not all are paid for by the state-—my ex died of Covid in a nursing home and he paid $12,000 a MONTH. (This was from the sale of a home.) He was there for 10 months.

Yes, useless eaters.

On the bright side, they all can still vote for cuomo in the next election...
