New York City to Mandate COVID-19 Vaccines for Private Sector Workers
Private sector workers in New York City will have to get a COVID-19 vaccine or face termination, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday.
“We have decided to use a preemptive strike to really do something bold to stop the further growth of COVID and the dangers it’s causing to all of us,” the mayor said.
COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
De Blasio, a Democrat, made the announcement during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
The rationale behind the mandate is the Omicron virus variant, colder weather, and upcoming holiday gatherings, he said.
Employees can provide verification of vaccination to their employers by using a vaccine passport such as the New York State Excelsior Pass or by presenting the paper card that is provided at the time of vaccination.
The mandate deadline is Dec. 27.
More details, including guidance on accommodations, will be issued on Dec. 15.
Eric Adams, who is set to succeed the term-limited de Blasio next month, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Can Big Bird do this?
I wouldn’t think it was legal for him to be able to MANDATE a vax on private companies.
Bye-done wasn’t able to do this, the courts are saying so.
