With just weeks before New York City is slated to roll out its citywide vaccine passport mandate for restaurants, gyms, and other venues, just 28 percent of black residents between the ages of 18 and 44 are fully vaccinated, according to data provided by the city’s Department of Health website.
The city’s data, as of Aug. 13, also shows that 33 percent of black New Yorkers in that age group have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose.
According to the provisions of the “Key to NYC” health passport mandate, customers who have received at least one dose of the vaccine are allowed to enter gyms, restaurants, bars, and theaters. It means that 67 percent of black New Yorkers in that age group could be denied service when it goes into effect in mid-September.
And only 19 percent of black residents between the ages of 13 and 17 are fully vaccinated, the data shows, while 28 percent of that age group have received at least one dose.
Overall, 37 percent of black New Yorkers in all age groups have received at least one shot, while 32 percent are fully vaccinated, according to the latest data.
Under the new program, meanwhile, unvaccinated people won’t be able to work at restaurants, gyms, theaters, or bars, either under the new mandate, which was unveiled earlier this month by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat.
One black woman, 33-year-old Diamond Wright of Queens’ Far Rockaway neighborhood, told Politico that despite the mandate, “Personally, I’m not gonna get it.” She added: “They came up with it kinda fast.”
And Wright said that she isn’t swayed by the city’s $100 vaccination incentive, adding that “a lot of people are scared.”

This will not end well!
Jim COVID rears it’s ugly head.
Heh heh heh.
Schadenfreude.
Anyone going to get popcorn?
D’oh!, Jim CrOVID!
They won’t be denied, but whites will. That’s how this stuff works.
Welcome to the pandemic plantation.

The hospitals there have had more than a year to prepare for any surge.
There is no need for vaccination segregation.
Gee if I didn’t know any better I’d say they planned it this way.
Need ID to get the vaccine!
That’s a feature, not a bug. If Republicans were smart (whcih all evidence says they ar enot), they would remind blacks who is preventing them from having ther freedom to do anything. (As they have done since their little cult was started.)
Do you have to sign anything when you get the vaccine?
Someone should plan some lunch counter sit-ins against those racist Democrats up North.
Their “food desert” has arrived in the name of discrimination. Are liberals concerned? HaHa.
...black New Yorkers in that age group could be denied service when it goes into effect in mid-September.
Paging “you-know-who”.
RE: ...black New Yorkers in that age group could be denied service when it goes into effect in mid-September.
OK, here’s a test on how the New Yorkers ( especially blacks ) will value freedom -—De Blasio will no longer be mayor in a few months, but New Yorkers have a chance to vote for a black candidate, Eric Adams, who promises to continue this crazy vaccine passport policy, or Curtis Sliwa, who promises to do away with it.
If blacks still overwhelmingly vote for Eric Adams, then they get everything they deserve.
Will the drinking fountains be well marked for the blacks?
