The Boston Police Department has put the most vocal critic of the city’s vaccine mandate on leave amid an internal-affairs investigation a week ahead of the jab deadline.
Sgt. Shana Cottone, the head of the recently formed group Boston First Responders United, is now on administrative leave from the department, the Boston Police Department confirmed.
A spokesman said it’s due to an open internal affairs investigation, so no further information is available.
Cottone said BPD officers came to her house and took her badge and gun Saturday morning.
“They’re trying to come after me — to silence me,” Cottone told the Herald. “They’re not going to silence me.”
Cottone founded the Boston First Responders United group in opposition to Mayor Michelle Wu’s expanding vaccine mandate that will require essentially all municipal workers to get their first shot by Jan. 15. She’s refusing to get the jab for what she says are religious reasons.
Wu implemented the mandate as COVID-19 surged, driven by the highly contagious omicron variant.

"Mayor Michelle Wu"
Shana Cottone, was on site during the Boston Marathon bombing. She was heralded as hero. Now look at what they are doing to her.
They don’t care. Look at all the hospital personnel they cheered and are now dumping.
Getting obedience and imposing their will is the most important thing of all to our overlords.
“They’re trying to come after me — to silence me,” Cottone told the Herald. “They’re not going to silence me.”

“They are doing nothing of the sort. In our system of government police can arrest and charge anyone for anything. Then the accused get to defend themselves in court. Citizens should not be forced into greater risk of exposure to a dangerous virus in order to protect an arresting officer’s feewing of freedom. If she doesn’t want to get vaccinated then she should be forced to find other employment. It’s called service.
Your argument is that society is over-policed so we should increase government power and allow it to dictate medical decisions? May your chains rest lightly.

I said nothing o0f the sort. I said that police arrest is virtually meaningless. Innocent people get arrested all the time. Their sentence for being arrested should not include an elevated risk of disease from unvaccinated cops.
Bump
So we have to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from the virus they got vaccinated against because we’re not vaccinated.
OK, got it... uh, wait!
Imagine a vaccine so safe you have to be threatened to take it — for a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know you have it.

Well yeah. Insanity runs about 10%. In America that’s about 350,000 people .....with various internet access.
